TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Term. The Initial Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of
this Agreement and continue for the period indicated in this Agreement. At
the conclusion of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically extend
for successive terms equal to the Initial Term (subject to Section 3) unless
either party gives written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior
to the end of the then -current term (each a ("Renewal Term").
2. Payment and Invoicing. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing,
fees for Services to be performed shall be paid annually in advance. Unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties, amounts are due upon receipt of the
invoice by Customer. Invoices shall be paid by Customer via electronic
delivery via EFT/ACH. Invoicing disputes must be identified in writing within
21 days of the invoice date. Payments of any disputed amounts are due and
payable upon resolution. Payment is a condition precedent to Company's
obligation to perform Services under the Agreement. Work performed on a
time and material basis shall be at the thenprevailing Company rate for
material, labor, and related items, in effect at the time supplied under this
Agreement. Customer acknowledges and agrees that timely payments of the
full amounts listed on invoices is an essential term of this Agreement and
Customer's failure to make payment in full when due is a material breach of
this Agreement. Customer further acknowledges that if there is any amount
outstanding on an invoice, it is material to Company and will give Company,
without prejudice to any other right or remedy, the right to, without notice: (i)
suspend, discontinue or terminate performing any Services and/or withhold
further deliveries of equipment and other materials, terminate or suspend any
unpaid software licenses, and/or suspend Company's obligations under or
terminate this Agreement; and (ii) charge Customer interest on the amounts
unpaid at a rate equal to the lesser of one and one half (1.5) percent per
month or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, until payment is
made in full. Company's election to continue providing future services does
not, in any way diminish Company's right to terminate or suspend services or
exercise any or all rights or remedies under this Agreement. Company shall
not be liable for any damages, claims, expenses, or liabilities arising from or
relating to suspension of Services for non-payment. In the event that there
are exigent circumstances requiring services or the Company otherwise
performs Services at the premises following suspension, those services shall
be governed by the terms of this Agreement unless a separate contract is
executed. If Customer disputes any late payment notice or Company's efforts
to collect payment, Customer shall immediately notify Company in writing and
explain the basis of the dispute. Customer agrees to pay all of Company's
reasonable collection costs, including legal fees and expenses.
3. Pricing. The pricing set forth in this Agreement is based on the number of
devices and services to be performed as set forth in this Agreement. If the
actual number of devices installed or services to be performed is greater than
that set forth in this Agreement, the price will be increased accordingly.
Company may increase prices upon notice to Customer to reflect increases
in material and labor costs. All stated prices are exclusive of and Customer
agrees to pay any taxes, fees, duties, tariffs, false alarm assessments,
installation or alarm permits and levies or other similar charges imposed
and/or enacted by a government, however designated or imposed, including
but not limited to value-added and withholding taxes that are levied or based
upon the amounts paid under this Agreement. Prices in any quotation or
proposal from Company are subject to change upon notice sent to Customer
at any time before the quotation or proposal has been accepted. Company
will provide Customer with notice of any pricing adjustments applicable to any
Renewal Term no later than 45 days prior to the commencement of that
Renewal Tern. Unless Customer terminates the Agreement at least thirty
(30) days prior to the start of such Renewal Term, the adjusted price shall be
the price for the Renewal Term. Prices for products covered by this
Agreement may be adjusted by Company, upon notice to Customer at any
time prior to shipment and regardless of Customer's acceptance of the
Company's proposal or quotation, to reflect any increase in Company's cost
of raw materials (e.g., steel, aluminum) inability to secure Products, changes
or increases in law, labor, taxes, duties, tariffs or quotas, acts of government,
any similar charges, or to cover any extra, unforeseen and unusual cost
elements.
4. Code Compliance. Company does not undertake an obligation to inspect
for compliance with laws or regulations unless specifically stated in this
Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the Authority Having Jurisdiction
(e.g. Fire Marshal) may establish additional requirements for compliance with
local codes. Any additional services or equipment required will be provided
at an additional cost to Customer.
5. Limitation of Liability; Limitations of Remedy. Customer understands
that Company offers several levels of protection services and that the level
described has been chosen by Customer after considering and balancing
various levels of protection afforded and their related costs. It is understood
and agreed by Customer that Company is not an insurer and that
insurance coverage shall be obtained by Customer and that amounts
payable to Company hereunder are based upon the value of the
services and the scope of liability set forth in this Agreement and are
unrelated to the value of Customer's property and the property of others
located on the premises. Customer agrees to look exclusively to
Customer's insurer to recover for injuries or damage in the event of any
loss or injury. Customer releases and waives all right of recovery
against Company arising by way of subrogation. Company makes no
guaranty or warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose that equipment or services supplied
by Company will detect or avert occurrences or the consequences
therefrom that the equipment or service was designed to detect or avert.
It is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages, if any,
which may proximately result from failure on the part of Company to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly,
Customer agrees that Company shall be exempt from liability for any
loss, damage or injury arising directly or indirectly from occurrences,
or the consequences therefrom, which the equipment or service was
designed to detect or avert. Should Company be found liable for any
loss, damage or injury arising from a failure of the equipment or service
in any respect, Company's liability for Services performed on -site at
Customer's premises shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to
the Agreement price (as increased by the price for any additional work)
or, where the time and material payment term is selected, Customer's
time and material payments to Company. Where this Agreement covers
multiple sites, liability shall be limited to the amount of the payments
allocable to the site where the incident occurred. Company's liability
with respect to Monitoring Services is set forth in Section 18 of this
Agreement. Such sum shall be complete and exclusive. IN NO EVENT
SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE, FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, INJURY, OR
ANY OTHER CLAIM ARISING FROM ANY SERVICING, ALTERATIONS,
MODIFICATIONS, CHANGES, OR MOVEMENTS OF THE COVERED
SYSTEM(S), AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED, OR ANY OF ITS COMPONENT
PARTS BY CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, in no event shall Company and its affiliates and their
respective personnel, suppliers and vendors be liable to Customer or
any third party under any cause of action or theory of liability, even if
advised of the possibility of such damages, for any (a) special,
incidental, consequential, punitive or indirect damages of any kind; (b)
loss of profits, revenues, data, customer opportunities, business,
anticipated savings or goodwill; (c) business interruption; or (d) data
loss or other losses arising from viruses, ransomware, cyberattacks or
failures or interruptions to network systems. The limitations of liability
set forth in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of all parents,
subsidiaries and affiliates of Company, whether direct or indirect,
Company's employees, agents, officers and directors.
6. Reciprocal Waiver of Claims (SAFETY Act). Certain of Company's
systems and services have received Certification and/or Designation as
Qualified Anti -Terrorism Technologies ("QATT") under the Support Anti-
terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002, 6 U.S.C. §§ 441-
444 (the "SAFETY Act"). As required under 6 C.F.R. 25.5 (e), to the maximum
extent permitted by law, Company and Customer hereby agree to waive their
right to make any claims against the other for any losses, including business
interruption losses, sustained by either party or their respective employees,
resulting from an activity resulting from an "Act of Terrorism" as defined in 6
C.F.R. 25.2, when QATT have been deployed in defense against, response
to, or recovery from such Act of Terrorism.
7. Indemnity. Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Company against any and all losses, damages, costs, including expert
fees and costs, and expenses including reasonable defense costs,
arising from any and all third party claims for personal injury, death,
property damage or economic loss, arising in any way from any act or
omission of Customer or Company relating in any way to this
Agreement, including but not limited to the Services under this
Agreement, whether such claims are based upon contract, warranty,
tort (including but not limited to active or passive negligence), strict
liability or otherwise. Company reserves the right to select counsel to
represent it in any such action. Customer's responsibility with respect
to indemnification and defense of Company with respect to Monitoring
Services is set forth in Section 18 of this Agreement.
8. General Provisions. Customer has selected the service level desired after
considering and balancing various levels of protection afforded and their
related costs. All work to be performed by Company will be performed during
normal working hours of normal working days (8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday, excluding Company holidays), as defined by Company,
unless additional times are specifically described in this Agreement. All work
performed unscheduled unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.

components of the area of any building where work is required to be
performed under this Agreement.
All of the above are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Conditions."
Company shall have the right to rely on the representations listed above. If
Hazardous Conditions are encountered by Company during the course of
Company's work, the discovery of such materials shall constitute an event
beyond Company's control, and Company shall have no obligation to further

services. Company makes no warranty or guarantee relating to the
Connected Fire Sprinkler Services or Connected Fire Alarm Services.

insure against all loss or guarantee a certain level of performance and
that JCI shall not be responsible for any injury, loss, or damage caused
by any act or omission of JCI related to or arising from the proactive
health notifications of the equipment under Connected Equipment
Services. Customer understands that if it wishes to receive monitoring

18. Monitoring Services. If Customer has selected Monitoring Services, the
following shall apply to such Services:
A. Alarm Monitoring Service. Customer agrees and acknowledges that

alarm monitoring, notification, and/or Runner Services as set forth in this
Agreement and to endeavor to notify the party(ies) identified by Customer on
the Contact/Call List ("Contacts') and/or Local Emergency Dispatch Numbers
for responding authorities. Upon receipt of an alarm signal, Company may, at
our sole discretion, attempt to notify the Contacts to verify the signal is not
false. If we fail to notify the Contacts or question the response we receive, we
will attempt to notify the responding authority. In the event Company receives
a supervisory signal or trouble signal, Company shall endeavor to promptly
notify one of the Contacts. Company shall not be responsible for a Contact's
or responding authority's refusal to acknowledge/respond to Company's
notifications of receipt of an alarm signal, nor shall Company be required to
make additional notifications because of such refusal. The Contacts are
authorized to act on Customer's behalf and, if so designated on the
Contact/Call List, are authorized to cancel an alarm prior to the notification of
authorities. Customer understands that local laws, ordinances or policies may
restrict Company's ability to provide the alarm monitoring and notification
services described in this Agreement and/or necessitate modified or additional
services and related charges to Customer. Customer understands that
Company may employ a number of industry -recognized measures to help
reduce occurrences of false alarm signal activations. These measures may
include, but are not limited to, implementation of industry -recognized default
settings; implementation of "partial clear time bypass" procedures at our alarm
monitoring center and other similar measures at our sole discretion from time
to time. THESE MEASURES CAN RESULT IN NO ALARM SIGNAL BEING
SENT FROM AN ALARM ZONE IN CUSTOMER'S PREMISES AFTER THE
INITIAL ALARM ACTIVATION UNTIL THE ALARM SYSTEM IS MANUALLY
RESET. Upon receiving notification from Company that a fire or gas detection
(e.g. carbon monoxide) signal has been received, the responding authority may
forcibly enter the premises. Cellular radio unit test supervision, if provided
under this Agreement, provides only the status of the cellular radio unit's
current signaling ability at the time of the test communication based on certain
programmed intervals and does not serve to detect the potential loss of radio
service at the time of an actual emergency event. Company shall not be
responsible to provide monitoring services under this Agreement unless and
until the communication link between Customer's premises and Company's
Monitoring Center has been tested. SUCH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED
WITHOUT WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
B Limitation of Liability; Limitations of Remedy. Customer understands that
Company offers several levels of Monitoring Services and that the level
described has been chosen by Customer after considering and balancing
various levels of protection afforded and their related costs. It is understood
and agreed by Customer that Company is not an insurer and that
insurance coverage shall be obtained by Customer and that amounts
payable to Company hereunder are based upon the value of the
Monitoring Services and the scope of liability set forth in this Agreement
and are unrelated to the value of Customer's property and the property
of others located on the premises. Customer agrees to look exclusively
to Customer's insurer to recover for injuries or damage in the event of
any loss or injury and that Customer releases and waives all right of
recovery against Company arising by way of subrogation. Company
makes no guaranty or warranty, including any implied warranty of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose that equipment or
Services supplied by Company will detect or avert occurrences or the
consequences therefrom that the equipment or Service was designed to
detect or avert. It is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual
damages, if any, which may proximately result from failure on the part of
Company to perform any of its monitoring obligations under this
Agreement. Accordingly, Customer agrees that Company shall be
exempt from liability for any loss, damage or injury arising directly or
indirectly from occurrences, or the consequences therefrom, which the
equipment or Service was designed to detect or avert. Should Company
be found liable for any loss, damage or injury arising from a failure of the
equipment or Service in any respect, Company's liability with respect to
Monitoring Services shall be the lesser of the annual fee for Monitoring
Services allocable to the site where the incident occurred or two
thousand five hundred ($2,500) dollars, as agreed upon damages and not
as a penalty, as Customer's sole remedy. Such sum shall be complete
and exclusive. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGE, LOSS, INJURY, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM ARISING FROM ANY
SERVICING, ALTERATIONS, MODIFICATIONS, CHANGES, OR
MOVEMENTS OF THE COVERED SYSTEM(S), AS HEREINAFTER
DEFINED, OR ANY OF ITS COMPONENT PARTS BY THE CUSTOMER OR
ANY THIRD PARTY. In no event shall JCI and its affiliates and their
respective personnel, suppliers and vendors be liable to Customer or any
third party under any cause of action or theory of liability, even if advised
of the possibility of such damages, for any (a) special, incidental,
consequential, punitive or indirect damages of any kind, including but
not limited to damages; (b) loss of profits, revenues, data, customer
opportunities, business, anticipated savings or goodwill; (c) business
interruption; or (d) data loss or other losses arising from viruses,
ransomware, cyber-attacks or failures or interruptions to network
systems CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. COMPANY SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES ARISING
FROM THE USE, LOSS OF THE USE, PERFORMANCE, OR FAILURE OF
THE COVERED SYSTEM(S) TO PERFORM. The limitations of liability set
forth in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of all parents,
subsidiaries and affiliates of Company, whether direct or indirect, and
each of their employees, agents, officers and directors.
C.Indemnity, Insurance. Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and
defend Company against any and all losses, damages, costs, including expert
fees and costs, and expenses including reasonable defense costs, arising from
any and all third -party claims for personal injury, death, property damage or
economic loss, arising in any way from any act or omission of Customer or
Company relating in any way to the Monitoring Services provided under this
Agreement, whether such claims are based upon contract, warranty, tort
(including but not limited to active or passive negligence), strict liability or
otherwise. Company reserves the right to select counsel to represent it in any
such action. Customer shall name Company, its officers, employees, agents,
subcontractors, suppliers, and representatives as additional insureds on
Customer's general liability and auto liability policies.
D.No modification. Modification to Sections 18 B or C may only be made by
a written amendment to this Agreement signed by both parties specifically
referencing Section 18 B and/or C, and no such amendment shall be effective
unless approved by the manager of Company's Central Monitoring Center.
E.Customer's Duties. In addition to Customer's duty to indemnify, defend,
and hold Company harmless pursuant to this Section 18:
i. Customer agrees to furnish the names and telephone numbers of all persons
authorized to enter or remain on Customer's premises and/or that should be
notified in the event of an alarm (the Contact/Call List) and Local Emergency
Dispatch Numbers and provide all changes, revision and modifications to the
above to Company in writing in a timely manner. Customer must ensure that
all such persons are authorized and able to respond to such notification.
ii. Customer shall carefully and properly test and set the system immediately
prior to the securing of the premises and carefully test the system in a manner
prescribed by Company during the term of this Agreement. Customer agrees
Rev. September. 2022
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6BDD63DC-5EE2-4DD5-BF9E-F2909DOD6C06
that it is responsible for any losses or damages due to malfunction,
miscommunication or failure of Customer's system to accurately handle,
process or communicate date data. If any defect in operation of the System
develops, or in the event of a power failure, interruption of telephone service,
or other interruption at Customer's premises of signal or data transmission
through any media, Customer shall notify Company immediately. If
space/interior protection (i.e. ultrasonic, microwave, infrared, etc.) is part of the
System, Customer shall walk test the system in the manner recommended by
Company.
iii. When any device or protection is used, including, but not limited to, space
protection, which may be affected by turbulence of air, occupied airspace
change or other disturbance, forced air heaters, air conditioners, horns, bells,
animals and any other sources of air turbulence or movement which may
interfere with the effectiveness of the System during closed periods while the
alarm system is on, Customer shall notify Company
iv. Customer shall promptly reset the System after any activation.
v. Customer shall notify Company regarding any remodeling or other changes
to the protected premises that may affect operation of the system.
vi. Customer shall cooperate with Company in the installation, operation and/or
maintenance ofthe system and agrees to follow all instructions and procedures
which may be prescribed for the operation of the system, the rendering of
services and the provision of security for the premises.
vii. Customer shall pay all charges made by any telephone or communications
provider company or other utility for installation, leasing, and service charges
of telephone lines connecting Customer's premises to Company. Customer
acknowledges that alarm signals from Customer's premises to Company are
transmitted over Customer's telephone or other transmission service and that
in the event the telephone or other transmission service is out of order,
disconnected, placed on "vacation," or otherwise interrupted, signals from
Customer's alarm system will not be received by Company, during any such
interruption in telephone or other transmission service and the interruption will
not be known to Company. Customer agrees that in the event the equipment
or system continuously transmits signals reasonably determined by Company
to be false and/or excessive in number, Customer shall be subject to the
additional costs and fees incurred by Company in the receiving and/or
responding to the excessive signals and/or Company may at its sole discretion
terminate this Agreement with respect to Monitoring services upon notice to
Customer.
F. Communication Facilities.
I. Authorization. Customer authorizes Company, on Customer's behalf, to
request services, orders or equipment from a telephone company, wireless
carrier or other company providing communication facilities, signal
transmission services or facilities under this Agreement (referred to as
"Communication Company"). Should any third -party service, equipment or
facility be required to perform the Monitoring Services set forth in this
Agreement, and should the same be terminated or become otherwise
unavailable or impracticable to provide, Company may terminate Monitoring
Services upon notice to Customer.
ii. Digital Communicator. Customer understands that a digital communicator
(DACT), if installed under this Agreement, uses traditional telephone lines for
sending signals which eliminate the need for a dedicated telephone line and
the costs associated with such dedicated lines.
iii. Derived Local Channel. The Communication Company's services
provided to Customer in connection with the Services may include Derived
Local Channel service. Such service may be provided under the
Communication Company's service marks or service names. These services
include providing lines, signal paths, scanning and transmission. Customer
agrees that the Communication Company's liability is limited to the same
extent Company's liability is limited pursuant to this Section 18.
iv. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT COMPANY WILL NOT RECEIVE
ALARM SIGNALS WHEN THE TELEPHONE LINE OR OTHER
TRANSMISSION MODE IS NOT OPERATING OR HAS BEEN CUT,
INTERFERED WITH OR IS OTHERWISE DAMAGED OR IF THE ALARM
SYSTEM IS UNABLE TO ACQUIRE, TRANSMIT OR MAINTAIN AN ALARM
SIGNAL OVER CUSTOMER'S TELEPHONE SERVICE FOR ANY REASON
INCLUDING NETWORK OUTAGE OR OTHER NETWORK PROBLEMS
SUCH AS CONGESTION OR DOWNTIME, ROUTING PROBLEMS, OR
INSTABILITY OF SIGNAL QUALITY. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT
OTHER POTENTIAL CAUSES OF SUCH A FAILURE OVER CERTAIN
TELEPHONE SERVICES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SOME
TYPES OF DSL, ADSL, VOIP, DIGITAL PHONE, INTERNET PROTOCOL
BASED PHONE OR OTHER INTERNET INTERFACE -TYPE SERVICE OR
RADIO SERVICE, INCLUDING CELLULAR OR PRIVATE RADIO, ETC.
("NON-TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE")) INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT
LIMITED TO: (1) LOSS OF NORMAL ELECTRIC POWER TO CUSTOMER'S
PREMISES (THE BATTERY BACK-UP FOR THE ALARM PANEL DOES
NOT POWER TELEPHONE SERVICE); AND (2) ELECTRONICS FAILURES
SUCH AS A MODEM MALFUNCTION. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT
COMPANY WILL ONLY REVIEW
THE INITIAL COMPATIBILITY OF CUSTOMER'S ALARM SYSTEM WITH
NONTRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE AT THE TIME OF INITIAL
CONNECTION TO COMPANY'S MONITORING CENTER AND THAT
CHANGES IN CUSTOMER'S TELEPHONE SERVICE'S DATA FORMAT
AFTER THE INITIAL REVIEW OF COMPATIBILITY COULD MAKE
CUSTOMER'S TELEPHONE SERVICE UNABLE TO TRANSMIT ALARM
SIGNALS TO COMPANY'S MONITORING CENTERS. IF COMPANY
DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION THAT IT IS COMPATIBLE,
COMPANY WILL PERMIT CUSTOMER TO USE NON-TRADITIONAL
TELEPHONE SERVICE AS THE SOLE METHOD OF TRANSMITTING
ALARM SIGNALS, ALTHOUGH CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT
COMPANY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF AN ADDITIONAL BACKUP
METHOD OF COMMUNICATION TO CONNECT CUSTOMER'S ALARM
SYSTEM TO THE MONITORING CENTER REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF
TELEPHONE SERVICE USED. CUSTOMER ALSO UNDERSTANDS THAT
IF COMPANY DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION THAT
CUSTOMER'S NON-TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE IS OR LATER
BECOMES NON -COMPATIBLE, OR IF CUSTOMER CHANGES TO
ANOTHER NON-TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE THAT IS NOT
COMPATIBLE, THEN COMPANY REQUIRES THAT CUSTOMER USE AN
ALTERNATE METHOD OF COMMUNICATION ACCEPTABLE TO
COMPANY AS THE PRIMARY METHOD TO CONNECT CUSTOMER'S
ALARM SYSTEM TO THE MONITORING CENTER. CUSTOMER
UNDERSTANDS THAT TRANSMISSION OF FIRE ALARM SIGNALS BY
MEANS OTHER THAN A TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE LINE MAY NOT BE
IN COMPLIANCE WITH FIRE ALARM STANDARDS OR SOME LOCAL
FIRE CODES, AND THAT IT IS CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATION TO COMPLY
WITH SUCH STANDARDS AND CODES. CUSTOMER ALSO
UNDERSTANDS THAT IF THE ALARM SYSTEM HAS A LINE CUT
FEATURE, IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT IF A NON-TRADITIONAL
TELEPHONE SERVICE LINE IS CUT OR INTERRUPTED, AND THAT
COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE CERTAIN AUXILIARY
MONITORING SERVICES THROUGH A NON-TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE
LINE OR SERVICE. CUSTOMER FURTHER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE
ALARM PANEL MAY BE UNABLE TO SEIZE THE PHONE LINE TO
TRANSMIT AN ALARM SIGNAL IF ANOTHER CONNECTION IS OFF THE
HOOK DUE TO IMPROPER CONNECTION OR OTHERWISE.
G. Verification; Runner Service. Some jurisdictions may require alarm
verification by telephone or on -site verification ("Runner Service") before
dispatching emergency services. In the event that a requirement of alarm
verification becomes effective after the date of this Agreement, such services
may be available at an additional charge. Company shall not be held liable for
any delay or failure of dispatch of emergency services arising from such
verification. Where Runner Service is indicated, such services may be
provided by a third party.
COMPANY WILL NOT ARREST OR DETAIN ANY PERSON.
H. Personal Emergency Response Service. If Customer has selected
Personal Emergency Response Services, Customer agrees that the very
nature of Personal Emergency Response Services, irrespective of any delays,
involves uncertainty, risk and possible serious injury, disability or death, for
which Company should not under any circumstances be held responsible or
liable; that the equipment furnished for Personal Emergency Response
Services is not foolproof and may experience signal transmission failures or
delays for any number of reasons, whether or not our fault or under Company's
control; that the actual time required for medical emergency providers to arrive
at the premises and/or to transport any person requiring medical attention is
unpredictable and that many contributing factors, including but not limited to
such things as telephone network operation, distance, weather, road and traffic
conditions, alarm equipment function and human factors, both with responding
authorities and with Company, may affect response
19. Limited Warranty. COMPANY WARRANTS THAT ITS
WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIAL, EXCLUDING MONITORING SERVICES,
FURNISHED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE FREE FROM DEFECTS
FOR A PERIOD OF NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF FURNISHING.
No warranty is provided for third -party products and equipment installed
or furnished by Company. Such products and equipment are provided
with the third party manufacturer's warranty to the extent available, and
Company will transfer the benefits, together with all limitations, of that
manufacturer's warranty to Customer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH HEREIN, COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PERFORMED OR THE

on Customer's general liability and auto liability policies.
24. Waiver of Subrogation. Customer does hereby for itself and all other
parties claiming under it release and discharge Company from and against all
hazards covered by Customer's insurance, it being expressly agreed and
understood that no insurance company or insurer will have any right of
subrogation against Company.
25. Force Majeure, Exclusions. Company shall not be liable, nor in breach
or default of its obligations under this Agreement, for delays, interruption,
failure to render services, or any other failure by Company to perform an
obligation under this Agreement, where such delay, interruption or failure is
caused, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by a Force Majeure Event. A
"Force Majeure Event" is a condition or event that is beyond the reasonable
control of Company, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, including, without
limitation, acts of God, severe weather (including but not limited to hurricanes,
tornados, severe snowstorms or severe rainstorms), wildfires, floods,

prevented by a Force Majeure Event or its continued effects, Company shall
be excused from performance under the Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Company is delayed in achieving one or more of
the scheduled milestones set forth in the Agreement due to a Force Majeure
Event, Company will be entitled to extend the relevant completion date by the
amount of time that Company was delayed as a result of the Force Majeure
Event, plus such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to overcome
the effect of the delay. To the extent that the Force Majeure Event directly or
indirectly increases Company's cost to perform the services, Customer is
obligated to reimburse Company for such increased costs, including, without
limitation, costs incurred by Company for additional labor, inventory storage,
expedited shipping fees, trailer and equipment rental fees, subcontractor fees
