Activation-code delivery
For purchased digital licenses, Elite emails the activation code to your order email address within 48 hours after payment. Digital fulfillment: no physical item is shipped; hardware is sold separately.
Use an email address you can access and check its spam folder. Contact Elite if a code has not arrived within 48 hours. An order receipt is not the activation code. Coming Soon previews cannot be purchased and do not carry a delivery promise.
One-time licenses and permanent upgrades
Luminys describes the listed LumiCenter licenses as a one-time license fee with no annual maintenance fee. They are not sold here as annual subscriptions. The manufacturer's separate four-year VMS maintenance period is not a four-year license-expiration term. LumiViewer capacity upgrades are explicitly permanent. One-time pricing does not promise lifetime support, updates or cloud service.

- LVL-DOOR: One-time permanent door upgrade. Permanently adds one access-control door to LumiViewer capacity. Requires compatible LumiViewer software and access-control hardware. Platform capacity limits and any LVL-256 upgrade requirements still apply.
Expiring cloud subscriptions
The listed price purchases the stated prepaid term, not lifetime service. Cloud storage retention and license duration are different: a 30-, 60-, 90- or 180-day rolling recording window can be part of a one-year subscription.

- LCL-60CLOUD-UC: One-year prepaid subscription. Continuous 24/7 cloud recording for one direct-to-cloud camera with 60-day rolling video retention. The retention window is not the subscription term.

Renewals, activation and expiry
Renewals are separate purchases: contact Elite to purchase the appropriate renewal. This storefront purchase does not set up automatic renewal billing.
The subscription term begins when you activate the license code, not when you purchase it or receive the email. The listed duration runs from activation. Contact Elite for help confirming an existing subscription's activation or expiry date.
Renewal pricing is quoted or displayed when you make the separate purchase; the original purchase does not lock in future prices. Luminys states that local camera/NVR video and storage remain accessible after a LumiCloud subscription expires and provides a 14-day grace period for access to cloud-hosted data. This is not a promise of continued cloud recording or recovery after the grace period. Arrange renewal before expiry if you need uninterrupted paid cloud features.
Cameras with an included cloud term
N5B-4LA2C, N5T-4LA2C and N5D-4LAVC are physical cameras that include one year of LumiCloud Unity. Continued paid Unity service requires a separately purchased LCL-HDV-UC renewal. The included cloud year is separate from the hardware warranty and is not lifetime cloud service. Confirm device activation requirements with Elite; the 48-hour delivery policy above applies to separately purchased digital licenses, not the physical camera shipment.
Requirements and manufacturer terms
A software purchase grants only the scope identified for that model. Additional camera channels, doors, devices, base VMS licenses, storage add-ons and hardware must be purchased separately unless expressly included. Confirm the exact device and base-license prerequisites before purchase. LumiCloud end users need a compatible device and account; dealer purchasing-program membership is not a retail customer requirement.
Current purchasable digital products link to the manufacturer product record and specification PDF. Coming Soon previews link to their available manufacturer information and cannot be purchased. Manufacturer license and activation terms apply to the software; contact Elite for help matching a license to your system.
Final-sale software purchases, cancellations and support
Software and digital-license purchases are final and nonrefundable, whether or not the activation code has been redeemed, except where a refund is required by law. Contact us for assistance with an incorrect, invalid, or undelivered activation code.
This applies to separately purchased software licenses, permanent upgrades, prepaid cloud subscriptions and renewal purchases. We do not offer voluntary cancellations for a refund or prorated refunds for unused subscription time. Confirm the model, device compatibility and license prerequisites before paying. The 30-day physical-product return policy does not apply to emailed license codes; a physical camera with an included cloud term remains subject to the physical-product policy.
If a code is incorrect, invalid or has not arrived within 48 hours after payment, contact info@elitesecurityinstallation.com or (740) 350-9058 with your order number. We will investigate and help deliver the correct working entitlement. Nothing here limits a refund or other remedy required by applicable law. Do not send license codes, passwords or account credentials through public chat.
Software, subscriptions and cloud services are not covered by Elite's hardware warranty. A one-time license fee does not promise lifetime updates, support or cloud service. Applicable legal rights remain unchanged.
Earlier purchases
These terms apply prospectively from September 14, 2026. Earlier purchases retain the terms accepted at purchase. Contact Elite for your order-specific records.
