These Terms and Conditions govern your use of app.AliceGDS.com, ALICE Gunshot Detection Solutions services, emergency alerting tools, SMS/text notifications, monitoring services, and related systems.
By accessing or using our website, application, alerting services, or SMS notification system, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.
1. Emergency Alerting Service
ALICE Gunshot Detection Solutions provides gunshot detection, event notification, monitoring, verification, and Assisted Response⢠services designed to support faster awareness and response during potential emergency events.
The system may send alerts related to:
- Active shooter events
- Gunshot detection events
- Verified or unverified threat events
- Test alerts
- System status notifications
- Monitoring center communications
- Account or administrative notices
- Device or service-related updates
2. No Guarantee of Prevention or Response
ALICE systems are designed to assist with detection, notification, verification, and response coordination. They do not prevent criminal acts, violence, injury, death, property damage, or emergency events.
ALICE Gunshot Detection Solutions does not guarantee:
- That every gunshot or threat will be detected
- That every alert will be delivered or received
- That first responders will respond within any specific time
- That a threat will be verified in every circumstance
- That use of the system will prevent injury, loss, or damage
- That wireless, internet, cellular, SMS, email, power, or third-party networks will operate without interruption
The services are intended to supplement, not replace, emergency planning, law enforcement, security personnel, facility procedures, 911 calls, or other safety protocols.
3. Emergency Procedures
In an emergency, users should call 911 or follow their organization's emergency procedures.
Do not rely solely on ALICE text messages, application alerts, monitoring notifications, or system communications as your only source of emergency information.
4. SMS/Text Message Consent
By providing your mobile phone number and opting in, you consent to receive SMS/text messages from ALICE Gunshot Detection Solutions related to emergency alerts, active shooter events, gunshot detection events, system notifications, testing, account notices, and safety-related communications.
Message frequency varies.
Message and data rates may apply.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services unless text messaging is required as part of a specific emergency notification service you choose to use.
You may opt out at any time by replying STOP, CANCEL, END, QUIT, UNSUBSCRIBE, OPTOUT, or by otherwise contacting us with a reasonable opt-out request. You may reply HELP for help.
5. Effect of Opting Out
If you opt out of SMS/text messages, you may no longer receive emergency text alerts from ALICE Gunshot Detection Solutions.
You acknowledge and agree that opting out may limit your ability to receive active shooter, gunshot detection, system, or safety-related notifications.

If monitoring services are enabled, alerts may be reviewed or handled by ALICE Monitoring Center personnel or authorized monitoring partners.
Monitoring services do not replace 911, law enforcement, emergency medical services, fire services, on-site security, or a customer's own emergency response procedures.
11. Customer Configuration
The accuracy and effectiveness of alerts may depend on proper installation, account setup, contact lists, device placement, system configuration, network connectivity, testing, and maintenance.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that emergency contacts, locations, floor plans, device names, site information, and user permissions are accurate and current.
