TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Term. The Initial Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of this Agreement and continue as set forth herein. After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically extend for successive terms equal to the same length as the Initial Term unless Customer or Company gives written notice to the other that it does not want to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term (each a (“Renewal Term”).The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to herein as the “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. Fees and other amounts due hereunder are due thirty (30) days from the date of invoice, which shall be paid by Customer via electronic delivery via EFT/ACH. Such payment is a condition precedent to Company’s obligation to perform Services under the Agreement. Any invoice disputes must be identified in writing by Customer within 21 days of the invoice date. Payments of any disputed amounts are due and payable upon resolution.

Work performed on a time and material basis shall be at the then-prevailing 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; (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;

and (iii) pay all of JCI’s costs of collection, including (1) actual out of pocket expenses and (2) charge Customer a collection fee of twenty-five percent (25%) of the past due amount if collected through a collection agency or attorney and thirty-five percent (35%) if litigation is commenced to collect such past due amount.

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). In the event of Customer’s default, the balance of any outstanding amounts will be immediately due and payable. Customer shall provide financial information requested by Company to verify Customer’s ability to pay for goods or services. If Customer fails to provide financial information or if Company, in its sole discretion determines that reasonable grounds exist to question Customer’s ability or willingness to make payments when due (e.g., not making payments when due, late payments, or a reduction in Customer's credit score), Company may defer shipments, change payment terms, require cash in advance and/or require other security, without liability and without waiving any other remedies Company may have against Customer. Company shall provide Customer with advance written notice of changes to payment terms. Customer agrees to issue and send a purchase order to Company at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term if necessary for payments to be processed, but failure to do so is not a pre-condition to Renewal Term payments being due to Company. No purchase order is required for any emergency work requested by Customer. Customer shall have no right to reject such invoices due to the lack of a purchase order.

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. Prices do not include taxes, fees, duties, tariffs, false alarm assessments, permits and levies or other charges imposed and/or enacted by a government, however designated or imposed (collectively, “Taxes”). All Taxes are the responsibility of Customer, unless Customer presents an exemption certificate acceptable to Company and the applicable taxing authorities. If Company is required to pay any such Taxes or other charges, Customer shall reimburse Company on demand. If any such exemption certificate is invalid, then Customer will immediately pay Company the amount of the Taxes, plus penalties and interest. Prices may be adjusted by Company prior to shipment to take into account increases in the cost of raw materials, component parts, third party products or labor rates or taxes; Trade Restrictions (as defined below); government actions; or to cover any unforeseen or other extra cost elements. “Trade Restrictions” means any additional or new tariff/duty, quota, tariff-rate quota, or cost associated with the withdrawal of tariff/duty concessions pursuant to a trade agreement(s).

This Agreement is entered into with the understanding that the services to be provided by Company are not subject to any local, state, or federal prevailing wage statute. If it is later determined that local, state, or federal prevailing wage rates apply to the services to be provided by Company, Company reserves the right to issue a modification or change order to adjust the wage rates to the required prevailing wage rate. Customer agrees to pay for the applicable prevailing wage rates. 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. If this Agreement is renewed, Company will provide Customer with notice of any adjustments in the contract price applicable to any Renewal Term. Unless Customer terminates the Agreement at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of such Renewal Term, the adjusted price shall be the price for the Renewal Term. If this Agreement extends beyond one year, Company may increase prices upon notice to Customer.

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 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 17 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, cyber-attacks 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 17 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. Appointments scheduled for four-hour window. Additional charges may apply for special scheduling requests (e.g. working around equipment shutdowns, after hours work). Company will perform the services described in the Service Solution (“Services”) for one or more system(s) or equipment as described in the Service Solution or the listed attachments (“Covered System(s)”).

Failure of Customer to remove or replace the device shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. If Customer adds any third party device or equipment to the Covered System(s), Company shall not be responsible for any damage to or failure of the Covered System(s) caused in whole or in part by such device or equipment.

12. Reports.Where inspection and/or test services are selected, such inspection and/or test shall be completed on Company’s then current report form, which shall be given to Customer, and, where applicable, Company may submit a copy thereof to the local authority having jurisdiction. The report and recommendations by Company are only advisory in nature and are intended to assist Customer in reducing the risk of loss to property by indicating obvious defects or impairments noted to the system and equipment inspected and/or tested. They are not intended to imply that no other defects or hazards exist or that all aspects of the Covered System(s), equipment, and components are under control at the time of inspection. Final responsibility for the condition and operation of the Covered System(s) and equipment and components lies with Customer.

13. Availability and Cost of Steel, Plastics & Other Commodities.Company shall not be responsible for failure to provide services, deliver products, or otherwise perform work required by this Agreement due to lack of available steel products or products made from plastics or other commodities.

• asbestos, asbestos-containing material, formaldehyde or other potentially toxic or otherwise hazardous material contained in or on the surface of the floors, walls, ceilings, insulation or other structural 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 perform in the area where the Hazardous Conditions exist until the area has been made safe by Customer as certified in writing by an independent testing agency, and Customer shall pay disruption expenses and re-mobilization expenses as determined by Company.

In addition, Remote Service does not include service to address physical damage to the system or a device; troubleshoot wiring issues;

programming changes and/or relocating, remounting, reconnecting, or adding a device to the system. Customer understands and agrees that, while Remote Service provides for communication regarding Customer’s fire alarm system to Company via the Internet, Remote Service does not constitute monitoring of the system, and Customer understands that Remote Service does not provide for Company to contact the fire department or other authorities in the event of a fire alarm.

Customer understands that if it wishes to receive monitoring of its fire alarm system and notification of the fire department or other authorities in the event of a fire alarm, it must select monitoring services as a separate Service under this Agreement. CUSTOMER

FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE TERMS OF

SECTION 17.F OF THIS AGREEMENT APPLY TO REMOTE

SERVICE.

B. Connected Fire Sprinkler Services; Connected Fire Alarm Services. Connected Fire Sprinkler Services and Connected Fire Alarm Serviceseach means a data-analytics and software platform that uses a cellular or network connection to gather equipment performance data about a Customer’s Covered Equipment for Customer’s sprinkler system or fire alarm system, as applicable, to assist Company in advising Customer on such equipment’s health, performance or potential malfunction. Connected Fire Sprinkler Services and Connected Fire Alarm Services are collectively, the Connected Equipment Services. If Customer has purchased Connected Fire Sprinkler Services and/or Connected Fire Alarm Services on any Covered Equipment, Customer agrees to allow Company to install diagnostic sensors and communication hardware (“Gateway Device”) or Customer will supply a network connection suitable to enable communication with Customer’s Covered Equipment in order for Company to deliver the connected services. For more information on whether your equipment includes Connected Fire Sprinkler Services and/or Connected Fire Alarm Services, a subscription to such services and the cost, if any, of such subscription, please see your applicable order, quote, proposal or purchase documentation or talk to your Company sales representative. For certain subscriptions, Customer will be able to access equipment information from a mobile or smart device using the service’s mobile or web app. The Gateway Device will be used to access, store, and trend data for the purposes of providing Connected Fire Sprinkler Services. Company will not use Connected Fire Sprinkler Services or the Connected Fire Alarm Services to remotely operate or make changes to Customer’s Equipment. If the connection is disconnected by Customer, and a technician needs to be dispatched to the Customer site, then the Customer will pay Company at Company’s then-current standard applicable contract regular time and/or overtime rate for such services. Company makes no warranty or guarantee relating to the Connected Fire Sprinkler Services or Connected Fire Alarm Services. Customer acknowledges that, while Connected Fire Alarm Services or Connected Sprinkler Services generally improve equipment performance and services, these services do not prevent all potential malfunction, insure against all loss or guarantee a certain level of performance and that Company shall not be responsible for any injury, loss, or damage caused by any act or omission of Company 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 of its fire alarm system or sprinkler system and notification of the fire department or other authorities in the event of an alarm, it must select monitoring services as a separate Service under this Agreement. CUSTOMER FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES

SECTION 19 (SOFTWARE AND DIGITAL SERVICES) APPLY TO

CONNECTED FIRE ALARM SERVICES AND CONNECTED

SPRINKLER SERVICES. In the event of a conflict between these terms and the Software Terms, the Software Terms will control.

C. Dashboards and Mobility Applications for Connected Fire Sprinkler Services and Connected Fire Alarm Services.

Terms for the Dashboard are located at www.johnsoncontrols.com/techterms

17. Monitoring Services. If Customer has selected Monitoring Services, the following shall apply to such Services:

A. Alarm Monitoring Service. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Company’s sole and only obligation under this Agreement shall be to provide 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 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, 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. 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 17 B or C may only be made by a written amendment to this Agreement signed by both parties specifically referencing Section 17 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 17:

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 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 of the 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 17.

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 NON-TRADITIONAL

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 BACK-UP 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;…
