2. USE OF THE SERVICE
The Service allows you to send Content from your mobile phone directly to My Mobile Witness for storage.

The Service does not, and is not intended to, replace emergency services such as 911. The Content is not routinely reviewed, and even in the event an active law enforcement investigation is opened may not be reviewed for some time. The Service is intended to be used primarily as a precaution or deterrent. In an emergency situation, it is recommended that you contact the appropriate emergency service, which may include, calling 911 or police or firefighter assistance.
You acknowledge that there may be certain circumstances that cause My Mobile Witness to not receive Content sent by you in a timely manner or at all. My Mobile Witness is not responsible for any failure to receive or delay in receiving your Content, including without limitation, carrier latency, lack of mobile phone service, network failures, user error or technical problems with the Service.
You may access your account on our Website by entering your mobile phone number and password and clicking on “Login” to log into your my Mobile Witness Account. You will be able to access your activity log which will state the date and time any Content was received in your account. You will not be able to view or retrieve the Content you send to the Service. My Mobile Witness call centers will not have access to your Content. Only law enforcement and those requiring your Content to be produced through valid legal processes will have access to your Content.
