SuretyCAM, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Company”) doing business as Surety℠ will provide you (“you,” “your,” or the “Customer”) with the alarm monitoring services (the “Services”) specified by you on the Company SuretyHome.com website (the “Site”) at the location identified by you on the Site (the “Service Location”) in accordance with this Do-It-Yourself Alarm Monitoring Contract Terms and Conditions of Service (the “Contract”).

 

  1. Acceptance of Contract. You have accepted this Contract, and have agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions upon the earlier of (a) your acknowledgment or acceptance of this Contract (inclusive of all attachments and schedules) electronically, or (b) your use of the Services.
  2. Payment Terms: Charges and Billing.
  3. Charges, Fees, and Taxes. You agree to pay all charges associated with the Services, including, without limitation, activation and Service charges, measured charges, third party charges, applicable federal, state and local taxes, permitting and regulatory fees, and any other fees or assessments of any municipal, state and federal government imposed on the Company or the Services.
  4. Payment Terms. During the Term, Services are rendered to you on a month-to-month basis. You will be automatically charged monthly, ten (10) business days in advance of the monthly Service Date (“Payment Date”), for the recurring services charges in an amount equal to the monthly amount specified in the Contract or on the Site to which you previously agreed, plus any and all applicable taxes, fees, and additional charges (collectively the “Service Fee”). The Service Fee shall be automatically charged and/or withdrawn from your designated credit/debit card on the Payment Date, and you hereby authorize Company to automatically charge your credit/debit card for all such amounts.  Prior to receiving the Services, you agree to execute any and all additional automatic payment authorizations and/or paperwork to allow Company to collect your monthly Service Fee as set forth herein.
  5. Insufficient Payments. You agree that if a Service Fee or other amount cannot be collected for any reason when due, continued attempts may be made to debit or charge the designated account for the amount owed until payment in full has been received. You further acknowledge and agree to maintain a deposit or credit balance in the designated account sufficient to make all Service Fees when due and also to pay for any other amounts owed under the Contract, including past due amounts and default charges, if any.  If the Company does not receive payment from your credit/debit card, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand, if the Services continue. Company does not waive its right to collect the full balance of Service Fee or other charges owed. If the Company uses a collection agency or attorney to collect money owed by you, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and arbitration or court costs.
  6. Term, Termination.  The term of this Contract shall be for thirty (30) days, beginning on the date of your acceptance (“Service Date”), and shall automatically renew for successive monthly periods every month thereafter on the monthly anniversary of the Service Date (each month a “Term”). Customer may terminate this Contract at any time by submitting to Company the cancellation form (provided on the Site) by midnight at least one (1) business day before the next monthly Payment Date.  If you provide Company notice your intent to terminate the Services on or prior to one (1) business day before the next Payment Date, you will not be charged the Service Fee for the next monthly Term, and all Services shall terminated. Company may terminate this Contract at any time, effective upon notice to you of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Contract, and the Services rendered hereunder, shall be terminated immediately if the Company is unable to secure the Services Fee within two (2) business days prior to the Payment Date.  You acknowledge and agree that after the Contract is terminated pursuant to the Section 3, the Company shall have no obligation to provide the Services to you.
  7. MONITORING SERVICES:  During the Term, the Company will monitor signals from the alarm monitoring equipment (the “System”) located at the Service Location for the Services designated by you. The Services shall begin when the System is fully installed by you, is operational, and the necessary communications connection has been completed.
  8. Central Station Monitoring. The Company may contract the performance of all or any portion of the Services to a third party provider, contractor, or sub-contractor. Upon receipt of a signal from the System, Company, or its third party provider, shall make every reasonable effort to notify you and the designated local authorities. Customer acknowledges that signals transmitted from the Service Location directly to municipal police or fire departments are not monitored by personnel of Company’s communication’s center and Company does not assume any responsibility for the manner in which such signals are monitored or the response, if any, to such signals. Customer authorizes Company to access control panel to input or delete data and programming. If the System contains listening devices permitting Company (or any other third party provider) to monitor sound, then upon receipt of an alarm signal Company (or any other monitoring designee) shall monitor sound for so long as Company (or any other third party provider) in its sole discretion deems appropriate to confirm an alarm signal. You agree to comply with all permitting requirements under applicable law with respect to the operation of the System and our provision of the Services, and to provide the Company with the permit number and such other information as we may request from time to time. You understand that, upon receiving notification that an alarm signal has been received by the Company, the police, fire department or other responding authority may forcibly enter the Service Location, and Company shall not be liable for any resulting damages relating to or arising in connection with such entry.
  9. Equipment; Service interruptions. Customer acknowledges that signals are transmitted over telephone lines, wire, airwaves or other modes of communication networks which are wholly beyond the control of Company and are not maintained by Company and therefore Company shall not be responsible for any equipment failure, which prevents transmission signals from reaching the Company (or any other third party monitoring provider), or for any damages arising therefrom. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMPANY, INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER, WILL NOT RECEIVE SIGNALS FROM THE SYSTEM IF YOUR TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, TRANSMISSIONS ARE INTERRUPTED FOR ANY REASON, OR IF CHANGES IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS PREVENT THE SYSTEM FROM COMMUNICATING WITH THE MONITORING THIRD PARTY PROVIDER. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TESTING THE SYSTEM ON A WEEKLY BASIS, AS WELL AS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ANY STORM, POWER OUTAGE, TRANSMISSION SYSTEM OUTAGE, OR ANY CHANGE TO ANY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, IN ORDER TO VERIFY THE CONTINUED FUNCTIONING OF THE SYSTEM. You will notify the Company of any problems with the System. You understand that no form of monitoring is error-free and that the Company is not responsible for any interruption of Services due to faulty equipment, faulty transmission systems, power outages, other interruptions in transmission services, transmission systems that have been tampered with or any damage or destruction to the Company’s equipment or facilities. The Company is not required to supply monitoring service to you while any such interruption continues.
  10. Emergency Contact Information. Customer agrees to furnish Company with an accurate list of names and telephone numbers of those persons Customer wishes to receive notification of alarm signals. All such information, and changes and modifications thereto, shall be supplied to Company via the Site, and such list shall be updated as necessary. The person(s) identified on your notification contact list will be authorized to act on your behalf, including the authority to cancel an alarm prior to the notification of emergency response organizations. The Company is entitled to rely solely on your emergency contact information and the instructions of such person. You acknowledge that the Company may be subject to applicable laws and industry standards designed to reduce false alarms, and that these may result in practices and procedures that delay either the notification of emergency responders, or other verification procedures in response to monitored alarms. You agree that the Company may, in its sole discretion, attempt to contact you to verify that a signal is not a false alarm. IF THE COMPANY HAS REASON TO BELIEVE, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, THAT NO EMERGENCY CONDITION EXISTS, IT MAY ELECT NOT TO FOLLOW THE NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES UTILIZED FOR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS. Neither the Company shall be liable for its failure to contact you or any person on your emergency contact sheet as contemplated in this Section 4.
  11. NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS: SUBSCRIBER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY:
  12. No warranty on Services. Company does not represent nor warrant that Customer’s alarm System or the monitoring Services provided hereunder will prevent any loss, damage or injury to person or property, by reason of burglary, theft, hold-up, fire, or other cause, or that the alarm System or the monitoring Services provided hereunder will in all cases provide the protection for which it is installed or intended. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Company is not an insurer, and the Customer assumes all risk for loss or damage to Customer’s premises or its contents.
  13. Limited Warranty on Equipment. In the event you have purchased alarm monitoring equipment from the Company, the Company shall pass along the standard manufacturer’s warranty on such part, as applicable. The Company does not provide any additional warranties on any equipment purchased through the Site. If the equipment or part purchased from Company does not work due to a defect, the Company will ship you a replacement part (at our cost); provided, however, that you have returned the defective part to Company within the manufacturer’s standard warranty period. This limited warranty is for your benefit only and may not be enforced by any other person.  You understand that this limited warranty does not extend to any monitoring equipment, piece or part which was not purchased from Company or which was damaged due to the actions or inaction of you or any third party.  This limited warranty is the only warranty the Company makes, is made only with respect to the portions of the System which were purchased from Company, and takes the place of all other warranties whether express or implied. NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE OF THIS Contract. THE COMPANY MAKES NO IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The Company does not promise that the System or the Services cannot be compromised or that they will always provide the intended signaling, monitoring or other service. If a court decides the Company has given you any implied warranty, it will extend only for the length of the Warranty Period.
  14. EXCULPATORY CLAUSE:  The parties agree that Company is not an insurer and no insurance coverage is offered herein. You acknowledge and agree that neither the Company, nor its affiliates, suppliers, service providers, contractors, or subcontractors is an insurer of or against any potential or actual loss or damage to person or property that may occur in or at the Service Location. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENTS YOU MAKE UNDER THIS CONTRACT ARE NOT RELATED TO THE VALUE OF THE PREMISES, YOUR POSSESSIONS, OR THE PERSONS OCCUPYING OR AT ANY TIME PRESENT IN OR ON THE PREMISES, BUT RATHER ARE BASED ON THE COST OF THE SERVICES, AND TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED TO COMPANY UNDER THIS CONTRACT. You understand that your payments to Company are for the monitoring Services of the Service Location which are designed to reduce, but not eliminate, certain risks and loss, and Company does not guarantee that no such loss will occur. Company is not assuming liability and therefore shall not be liable to Customer for any loss or damages sustained by Customer as a result of burglary, theft, hold-up, fire, equipment failure, or any other cause, whatsoever, regardless of whether or not such loss or damage was caused by, or contributed to, by Company’s negligent performance or failure to perform any obligation.
  15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: The parties agree that the System and the Services are not designed or guaranteed to prevent any loss by burglary, theft and other illegal acts of third parties, or loss by fire, smoke, water or another cause. The Company expressly denies and disclaims all liability for any loss or damage which may occur prior to, at or after signing this Contract.  This includes liability based on contract, tort, negligence or any degree, warranty (including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose) and all other theories of liability. If, notwithstanding the terms of this Contract, there should arise any liability on the part of the Company (or its affiliates, suppliers, service providers, contractors, or subcontractors) as a result OF any cause whatsoever regardless of whether or not such loss, damage, personal injury was caused by, or contributed to, by Company’s negligence to any degree or failure to perform any obligation, such liability will be limited to the sum of $250.00. The Limitation of Liability set forth in this Contract specifically covers liability for Lost Profits, lost or damaged property, loss of use of property or the Service Location, governmental fines and charges, and the claims of third parties. Also covered by this Limitation of Liability are the following types of damages: Direct, indirect, Special, Incidental, Consequential, and punitive.
  16. INSURANCE:  You are responsible for obtaining the insurance coverage which you believe is necessary to protect the Service Location, including, without limitation, coverage for personal injury and property damage. Company shall not be responsible for any portion of any loss or damage which is recovered or recoverable by Customer from insurance covering such loss or damage against which Customer is indemnified or insured. Additionally, you hereby release Company for any event or condition customarily covered by homeowner’s or business insurance, as applicable to the Service Location.
  17. CUSTOMER’S DUTY TO SUPPLY: Customer shall be responsible for supplying the following to the System in order to receive the Services: the System (and/or all equipment and parts necessary to provide the Services); proper installation of the System; an initial test of the System to verify ability to send alarm signals to the central monitoring station; 110 Volt AC receptacles , as deemed necessary, by Company.
  18. INDEMNITY/WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS:  This Contract is for your benefit, therefore, you agree to and shall protect/indemnify, hold harmless, defend, and release Company and its employees, agents, assigns, and subcontractors, from and against all damages, losses, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in connection with any claims, suits, judgments, and causes of action which relate to the System or Services provided by the Company (including, without limitation, those claims alleged to be caused by Company’s performance, negligence, or failure to perform any obligation under this Contract). The parties agree that there are no third party beneficiaries of this contract except as provided below. Customer on its behalf and any insurance carrier waves any right of subrogation Customer’s insurance carrier may otherwise have against Company or Company’s subcontractors arising out of this Contract or the relation of the parties hereto. This protection/indemnity includes claims brought by any third party, including, without limitation, your insurance company, whether the claim arises under contract, warranty, negligence, or any other theory of liability.
  19. Assignments and Delegation. Customer shall not be permitted to assign this Contract without written consent of Company. Company may sell, transfer, delegate, subcontract, encumber or assign, without the consent of Customer, its (i) obligations under this Contract, and (ii) right, title and interest in the Service Fee owed under this Contract to an assignee. Any assignee of Company will have all of Company’s rights under this Contract to bill and collect the Service Fees owed under this Contract, but none of the obligations. Customer agrees that an assignee does not have any responsibility for the selection or satisfactory performance of the Services and Customer will settle any claims, defenses, setoffs they may have directly with Company or any third party without affecting Customer’s obligations to pay without offset or abatement to assignee.
  20. FALSE ALARMS AND PERMITS: You agree to prevent false alarms and assume responsibility for them. Company shall have no liability for false alarms, false alarm fines, police response, or refusal of police to respond. In the event of termination of police response by the municipal police this Contract shall nevertheless remain in full force and Customer shall remain liable for all payments provided for herein. Should Company be required, by existing or hereinafter enacted law to perform any service or furnish any material not specifically covered by the terms of this Contract, Customer agrees to pay Company for such service. The Customer agrees to obtain all licenses and pay all taxes, fines and other assessments, including sales tax. The Company’s fees are based upon existing taxes and charges, and the Company can increase the Company’s fees to reflect changes in these taxes or charges.
