Warranty termsFAQ
How much does renting Rhem cost?
Rent Rhem for $99/month, billed monthly. Your first payment covers one month, starting after confirmed delivery. The subscription then renews monthly until you cancel. Cancel anytime to stop your next renewal; membership stays active through your paid billing period. All prices are in USD. Standard shipping is included. Any tax is shown before payment.
What does the rental subscription cover?
One subscription covers Rhem and its service. Rhem owns the robot. Your subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel. Cancel anytime to stop your next renewal; membership stays active through your paid billing period. When membership ends, we provide a prepaid label and you have 30 days to ship Rhem back. There are no initiation or cancellation fees. Buying outright is a separate option at checkout.
When will it ship, and when do I pay?
Checkout shows whether rental payments are open. When open, you prepay your first month at checkout. That month starts after we confirm delivery, then your subscription renews monthly until you cancel. Cancel anytime to stop your next renewal; membership stays active through your paid billing period. Rhem is not ready to ship today. We expect U.S. Founder Edition preorders to ship from California on January 20-31, 2027. Delivery takes additional time. Ordering is open in the U.S. only. If the shipping estimate changes, we will email you with the choice to accept the delay or cancel for a full refund.
Does my parent need Wi-Fi?
Yes. Plan to use Rhem with reliable home Wi-Fi. It has no cellular connection. Cloud needs internet for conversations. Local can run some conversations on the robot, but calls, websites, family updates, and remote alerts still need internet. Halo connects independently to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
Can I help my parent set it up?
Yes. After ordering, you can add their Wi-Fi details and record a welcome message in My orders. Both are optional and help us prepare Rhem before shipping. One-on-one setup help by phone is included. Your parent can speak to Rhem instead of typing.
Is the camera always watching?
No. Rhem’s camera is off by default. Your parent can choose to use it for video calls or photos. During an SOS alert, a chosen contact may open the camera after answering. Halo uses radar and has no camera or microphone. Your family controls access to shared information.
Can Rhem replace a doctor or caregiver?
No. Rhem is not a medical device. It cannot diagnose illness or replace care or needed supervision. Its readings and answers can be wrong. Reminders do not prove medicine was taken. Keep your usual care and medical devices, and do not change medicine or delay care because of a Rhem reading or answer.
What happens if Halo detects a fall?
Halo can send an alert to chosen contacts in the family app so they can check in or arrange help. It only covers the area where it is set up. Alerts need power, internet, and phone notifications turned on. Falls can be missed and false alerts can happen. It does not call 911 or send an ambulance. Keep another way to get help.
What if we change our mind?
Try Rhem at home for 30 days after delivery. Request cancellation during the trial and return within the provided window for a refund of your membership payment. Cancel anytime to stop your next monthly renewal; membership stays active through your paid billing period. When membership ends, we provide a prepaid return label and instructions, and you have 30 days to ship Rhem back. No additional membership payment is billed while the robot is in transit after your paid membership ends. Contact Rhem Support at service@rhem.ai for help. Cancel future renewal anytime. Your membership remains active through your prepaid term. Payments are non-refundable after the trial, except as required by law or otherwise provided in our terms.
What if it breaks?
Your leased Rhem is covered for manufacturing defects for as long as your lease is active. We pay shipping for covered repairs. Email service@rhem.ai with your order number, the device’s serial number, and what went wrong.
