1. PAYMENT DEFAULTS.
1.1 IF CUSTOMER FAILS TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT FOR THE SERVICES ACS SECURITY PROVIDES WHEN DUE, ACS SECURITY MAY (I) DISCONTINUE MONITORING AND SERVICE; (II) TERMINATE THE ORDER; (III) IMMEDIATELY RETRIEVE THE SYSTEM FROM THE MONITORED LOCATION; AND (IV) RECOVER ALL DAMAGES TO WHICH ACS SECURITY IS ENTITLED INCLUDING THE VALUE OF THE WORK AND SERVICES PERFORMED AND ACS SECURITY’S LOSS OF PROFITS FOR THE UNEXPIRED TERM OF THE ORDER. IF A PAYMENT IS NOT PAID WITHIN TWENTY (20) DAYS OF THE INVOICE DATE, ACS SECURITY MAY IMPOSE AN ACCOUNTING FEE EQUAL TO THE LESSER OF (I) $100.00 PER MONTH UNTIL PAID, OR (II) THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE STATE WHERE THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED. IF ACS SECURITY HIRES AN ATTORNEY OR AGENCY TO COLLECT ANY AMOUNTS DUE TO ACS SECURITY, CUSTOMER WILL PAY OUR REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COLLECTION COSTS WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW.
1.2 Set-off. If Customer has multiple accounts, ACS SECURITY reserves the right to apply payments from one account to set-off payment obligations due by another account.
1.3 Customer shall pay a reconnection charge if service is suspended or terminated due to Customer’s failure to make timely payments of invoices or upon other Customer default. Customer shall not receive credit for interruptions in the operation of equipment or of service for less than 5 consecutive days (120 consecutive hours), regardless of the cause of such interruption. Interruptions due to power, internet, or weather conditions (including solar) will not be credited.
1.4 Customer authorizes recurring, regularly scheduled charges to Customer’s checking, savings account, or credit card. The charge will appear on Customer’s bank statement as an “ACH Debit” or Customer’s credit card statement. Customer agrees that no prior notification will be provided unless the date or amount changes, in which case Customer will receive notice from ACS SECURITY at least 10 days prior to the payment being collected. Customer understands that this authorization will remain in effect until Customer cancels it in writing, and Customer agrees to notify ACS SECURITY in writing of any changes in Customer’s account information or termination of this authorization at least 15 days prior to the next billing date. If the periodic payment dates fall on a weekend or holiday, Customer understands that the payment may be executed on the next business day. Customer understands that because this is an electronic transaction, these funds may be withdrawn from Customer’s account or charged to Customer’s credit card. Customer understands this authorization also allows ACS SECURITY, to charge Customer bank account or credit card for all past due amounts, trip fees, service fees, permits, licenses or false alarm fees, or amount that may accumulate in arrears, according to the terms above and the conditions of the ORDER. Customer understands that this authorization allows ACS SECURITY to adjust the scheduled deductions to reflect any billing changes and/or price increases. Customer also authorizes ACS SECURITY to initiate entries to the account to correct any erroneous deductions or to provide a refund. In order to cancel the autopay, Customer understands that they must email CUSTOMERCARE@ACSSECURITY or call 310-475-9016 to do so. In the case of a transaction being rejected for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) Customer understands that ACS SECURITY may at its discretion attempt to process the charge again within 30 days, and Customer agrees to an additional $10.00 charge for each attempt returned NSF which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized recurring payment. Customer acknowledges that the origination of recurring transactions to Customer’s account must comply with the provisions of U.S. Law. Customers agree not to dispute this recurring billing with Customer’s bank so long as the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in this authorization form. Customer agrees that an ACH or credit card denial will constitute a breach of Customer’s payment obligation in this ORDER with ACS SECURITY.
2. FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT. Customer authorizes and consents to credit investigations and reports by ACS SECURITY and any other Company or to whom ORDER may be assigned. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), the Customer hereby authorizes ACS SECURITY to obtain a consumer credit report. Customer has the right, by contacting the provider of this information, to dispute the information on the report or request additional disclosures as provided under Section 606 of the FCRA. Written request must be given from the Customer to ACS SECURITY to request additional credit information. Customer releases all persons involved in the credit investigation from liability in connection with such investigation.
3. VIDEO SHIELD. The System will be connected to ACS SECURITY’s central station facility (“Central”). ACS SECURITY shall provide live or hosted video surveillance from cameras mounted on a mobile surveillance unit on an existing structure. If the surveillance system is equipped with outputs (sirens, strobes, public address system), ACS SECURITY may remotely activate the outputs in an attempt to deter unauthorized individuals. Authorized individuals should call to notify the Central, prior to entering the Monitored Location during monitored hours. Where video images shall be used as part of the video verification of alarm signals service, upon activation of the protective and/or video system by trigger, or remote access of the video equipment by ACS SECURITY personnel, the video system will transmit video images to the ACS SECURITY Central. The images will be used to verify the nature of the emergency at the Monitored Location.
3.1 If “Monitored by ACS SECURITY” is selected on the ORDER, unless otherwise designated by Customer or LOCAL AUTHORITY through ordinances or laws, the default authority notification process will be as follows: ACS SECURITY will attempt to contact an Authority or Emergency Agency, as set forth in the notification instructions provided by Customer and inform the Authority or Agency of the type of emergency alarm condition received and what, if anything, was observed in the video images. ACS SECURITY personnel will use its sole discretion in interpreting the video images transmitted. If, in its sole discretion of ACS SECURITY personnel, no emergency alarm condition exists at Customer’s Monitored Location, ACS SECURITY may elect not to notify any Authority or Emergency Agency. Live video monitoring uses motion-based software analytics and/or hardware components to generate an event escalation to ACS SECURITY’s Central. Hardware detection is limited to the manufacturer’s specifications. One event will be generated in a twenty (20) second period. Consecutive false events per camera, are subject to being automatically paused until the next monitoring cycle begins. The service shall be defined as “Video Shield”.
3.2 If “Self-Monitored” if selected on the ORDER, Customer is solely responsible for viewing any transmitted video images and notifying the appropriate authorities. Customer understands that ACS SECURITY will not receive any signals from the System and that ACS SECURITY has no obligation to dispatch authorities.
3.3 ACS SECURITY may discontinue or change any particular response service due to governmental or insurance requirements by giving Customer written notice. Customer consents to the tape recording of all telephonic communications between the Monitored Location and ACS SECURITY offices, including the Central. THE CITY OR COUNTY IN WHICH CUSTOMER’S BUSINESS IS LOCATED MAY REQUIRE CUSTOMER TO OBTAIN A PERMIT FOR THE USE AND MONITORING OF THE SYSTEM. LOCAL AUTHORITIES MAY NOT RESPOND TO ALARM NOTIFICATIONS UNTIL ALL PERMITS OR LICENSES FOR USE OF THE SYSTEM HAVE BEEN OBTAINED, AND THEREFORE ACS SECURITY MAY NOT BEGIN MONITORING UNTIL CUSTOMER HAS OBTAINED, AT CUSTOMER’S EXPENSE, ALL NECESSARY PERMITS OR LICENSES AND PROVIDED ACS SECURITY WITH THE LICENSE OR PERMIT NUMBER. Upon connection of the monitoring service, ACS SECURITY will thoroughly instruct Customer on the proper use of the System.
4. INCREASE IN SERVICES FEE. ACS SECURITY MAY INCREASE THE MONITORING FEES AT ANY TIME TO RECOVER ANY ADDITIONAL TAXES, FEES, LICENSES OR OTHER CHARGES THAT MAYBE IMPOSED ON ACS SECURITY BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR UTILITY RELATING TO THE SERVICES ACS SECURITY PROVIDES. IN ADDITION, ACS SECURITY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO INCREASE ALL CHARGES BY AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED NINE PERCENT EACH YEAR PROVIDED FOR HEREIN AT ANY TIME AFTER ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ORDER, UPON GIVING CUSTOMER WRITTEN NOTICE THIRTY (30) DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF SUCH INCREASE. ANY ADVANCE PAYMENTS MADE FOR SERVICE TO BE SUPPLIED SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF SUCH TERMINATION SHALL BE REFUNDED TO THE CUSTOMER.
5. OWNERSHIP:
The System is the sole property of ACS SECURITY and shall not be considered a fixture or a part of the real property.
6. RISK OF LOSS OF MATERIAL:
Customer agrees that no person or persons, other than ACS SECURITY, be permitted to alter, remove, or tamper with the System, without the permission of ACS SECURITY. ACS SECURITY shall not be liable for any damage or loss sustained by Customer as a result of equipment failure, or for interruption of service due to electric failure, strikes, walk-outs, war, acts of God, weather or other causes, including ACS SECURITY’s negligence or failure to perform any obligation. Customer assumes all risk of loss of material once delivered to the job site. Customer shall keep the System free from liens and in good condition and working order. Customer bears the entire risk of loss, theft, damage, or destruction to the System from the date the System is delivered to the Monitored Location until the System is returned to ACS SECURITY, regardless of cause (“Loss”). No Loss will relieve Customer of any obligations under this ORDER. Customer shall immediately notify ACS SECURITY in writing of any Loss. To protect the System from Loss, Customer shall keep the System insured against Loss for its full replacement value under a comprehensive policy of insurance. Should ACS SECURITY be required by existing or hereafter enacted law to perform any service or furnish any material not specifically covered by the terms of this ORDER, Customer agrees to pay ACS SECURITY for such service or material. If more than one lessee is named on this ORDER, liability is joint and several.
7. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT:
Upon termination of this ORDER, whether by expiration of the term or otherwise, Customer shall return the System in the same condition as it was upon installation, less ordinary wear and tear or Customer shall pay ACS SECURITY the fair market-value of the System.
8. CUSTOMER’S DUTIES: Customer will instruct all persons who may use the System on its proper testing and use. Customer will test the System’s protective devices and send test signals to the Central in accordance with our instructions at least monthly. If a problem in the System occurs, Customer will notify us immediately. Customer will obtain and keep in effect all permits or licenses that may be required for the operation of the System. Customer shall furnish ACS SECURITY with a written list of names and telephone numbers of those persons whom Customer wishes to receive notification of alarm signals (the “Call List”) in the event ACS SECURITY believes there is an emergency at the Monitored Location. Customer will notify ACS SECURITY in writing of any changes in the Call List or other information Customer provides to ACS SECURITY. Customer agrees that ACS SECURITY may give the information Customer provided to ACS SECURITY to any governmental agency having authority over the System or service.
9. SUSPENSION OR CANCELLATION OF ORDER: Customer understands that ACS SECURITY may stop or suspend the monitoring and immediately retrieve the System from the Monitored Location if: (a) Strikes, severe weather, earthquakes, or other such events beyond ACS SECURITY’s control affect the operation of the Central or so severely damage Customer’s business that continuing service would be impractical (b) There is an interruption or unavailability of the telephone service between the System and the Central (c) Customer does not pay the service charge due to ACS SECURITY, after ACS SECURITY has given Customer ten (10) days’ notice that ACS SECURITY is canceling service because of non-payment. ACS SECURITY may charge a reconnection fee if service is suspended for non-payment (d) ACS SECURITY is unable to provide service because of some action or ruling by any governmental authority. (e) Customer becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding (f) Customer is abusive or threatening to ACS SECURITY’s employees which makes it impractical to continue doing business (g) Customer’s account has become burdensome and it is unpractical to perform the obligations required under this ORDER. Additionally, ACS SECURITY reserves the right to retrieve the System from the Monitored Location at any time, after the initial term, with twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Customer. If service is canceled or terminated for any reason, Customer will permit ACS SECURITY to disconnect the System from the Central and remove the System and all of ACS SECURITY signs and decals from Customer’s business. Failure to permit ACS SECURITY to access the System for removal will result in Customer being charged the fair market value of the System.
10. ASSIGNEES AND SUBCONTRACTORS: ACS SECURITY may transfer or assign this ORDER to any other alarm company, or financial institution as loan collateral. Customer may not transfer this ORDER to someone else (including someone who purchases or rents Customer’s business) unless ACS SECURITY approves the transfer in writing, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. ACS SECURITY may use subcontractors to provide installation, repair, monitoring, or other services. This ORDER, and particularly Sections 12 and 13, shall apply to the work Subcontractors perform and protect ACS SECURITY assignees and subcontractors in the same manner as it applies to and protects ACS SECURITY.
11. CHANGES TO THE SYSTEM: If Customer or any governmental agency or insurance interest wants ACS SECURITY to change the System after it is installed, Customer agrees to pay our standard parts and labor charges for such changes.
12. ACS SECURITY IS NOT AN INSURER/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT:(A) ACS SECURITY IS NOT AN INSURER OF CUSTOMER’S BUSINESS, CUSTOMER’S PROPERTY OR THE PERSONAL SAFETY OF PERSONS IN CUSTOMER’S BUSINESS;(B) CUSTOMER WILL PROVIDE ANY INSURANCE ON CUSTOMER’S BUSINESS AND ITS CONTENTS; (C) THE AMOUNT CUSTOMER PAYS TO ACS SECURITY IS BASED ONLY ON THE VALUE OF SERVICE ACS SECURITY PROVIDES AND NOT ON THE VALUE OF CUSTOMER’S MONITORED LOCATION OR ITS CONTENTS; (D) THE SYSTEM AND ACS SECURITY’S MONITORING SERVICE MAY NOT ALWAYS OPERATE PROPERLY FOR VARIOUS REASONS; (E) IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE IN ADVANCE THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY THAT MIGHT BE LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED IF THE SYSTEM OR ACS SECURITY’S SERVICE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY; (F) IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE HOW FAST THE POLICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT OR OTHERS WOULD RESPOND TO AN ALARM SIGNAL; (G) IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE WHAT PORTION, IF ANY, OF ANY PROPERTY LOSS, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH WOULD BE PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY ACS SECURITY’S FAILURE TO PERFORM, ACS SECURITY’S NEGLIGENCE, OR A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM OR SERVICE. THEREFORE CUSTOMER AGREES: EVEN IF A COURT DECIDES THAT ACS SECURITY’S BREACH OF THIS ORDER, A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM, OR ACS SECURITY’S NEGLIGENCE, OR A FAILURE OF THE INSTALLATION, MONITORING OR REPAIR SERVICE CAUSED OR ALLOWED ANY HARM OR DAMAGE (WHETHER PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH) TO CUSTOMER OR ANYONE IN CUSTOMER’S BUSINESS, CUSTOMER AGREES THAT ACS SECURITY’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO $1,500.00 OR 3 TIMES THE MONTHLY CHARGE, WHICHEVER IS GREATER, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY, AND SHALL BE CUSTOMER’S ONLY REMEDY REGARDLESS OF WHAT LEGAL THEORY IS USED TO DETERMINE THAT ACS SECURITY WAS LIABLE FOR THE INJURY OR LOSS. CUSTOMER MAY OBTAIN A HIGHER LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: IF CUSTMER WISHES, CUSTOMER MAY OBTAIN FROM ACS SECURITY A HIGHER LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN LIEU OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR AN ADDITIONAL MONTHLY CHARGE BASED ON A GRADUATED SCALE OF RATES. IF CUSTOMER ELECTS THIS OPTION, ACS SECURITY WILL ATTACH A RIDER TO THIS ORDER WHICH WILL SET FORTH THE AMOUNT OF THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND THE AMOUNT OF THE ADDITIONAL CHARGE. AGREEING TO THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DOES NOT MEAN THAT ACS SECURITY IS AN INSURER. IF CUSTOMER WISHES TO TERMINATE THIS ORDER EARLY, OR BREACHES THIS ORDER BY FAILING TO MAKE A PAYMENT FOR THE TERM OF THIS ORDER, CUSTOMER SHALL BE LIABLE TO ACS SECURITY FOR AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO (I) 80% OF THE REMAINING BALANCE FOR THE TERM OF THE ORDER IF THE REMAINING TERM IS 6 MONTHS OR GREATER; OR (II) 100% OF THE REMAINING BALANCE FOR THE TERM OF THE ORDER IF THE REMAINING TERM IS FOR 6 MONTHS OR LESS. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS ORDER CONTAINS A LIQUIDATED DAMAGE CLAUSE.
13. THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFICATION AND NO SUBROGATION: If anyone other than Customer, asks ACS SECURITY to pay for any harm or damages (including property damage, personal injury or death) connected with or resulting from (i) a failure of the System or Services, (ii) ACS SECURITY’S negligence, (iii) any other improper or careless activity of ACS SECURITY in providing the System or Services, or (iv) a claim for indemnification or contribution, Customer will repay to ACS SECURITY (a) any amount which a court orders ACS SECURITY to pay or which ACS SECURITY reasonably agrees to pay, and (b) the amount of ACS SECURITY’S reasonable attorney’s fees and any other loss and/or costs that ACS SECURITY may pay in connection with the harm or damages. Customer’s obligation to pay ACS SECURITY for such harm or damages shall not apply if the harm or damages happens while one of ACS SECURITY’S employees or subcontractors is in or about Customer’s business, and such harm or damages is solely caused by that employee or subcontractor. Unless prohibited by Customer’s property insurance policy, Customer agrees to release ACS SECURITY from any claims of any parties suing through Customer’s authority or in Customer’s name, such as Customer’s insurance company, and Customer agrees to defend ACS SECURITY against any such claim.
14. LIMITATION ON LAWSUITS; JUDICIAL REFERENCE: Where permitted by law, both ACS SECURITY and Customer agree that no legal proceeding connected with this ORDER, whether based upon contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise, shall be brought or filed more than one year (only applicable where permitted by law) after the incident giving rise to the claim occurred. IN ADDITION, WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDING SHALL NOT BE HEARD BEFORE A JURY; AND EACH PARTY GIVES UP ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. Any other action that Customer may have or bring against ACS SECURITY in respect to services rendered in connection with this ORDER shall be deemed to have merged in and be restricted to the terms and conditions of this ORDER. Service of process or papers in any legal proceeding or arbitration between the parties may be made by First-Class Mail delivered by the U.S. Postal Service addressed to the party’s address in this ORDER or another address provided by the party in writing to the party making service. Any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this ORDER must be brought in Los Angeles County, California. California law applies to this ORDER regardless of choice-of- law rules.
15. ARBITRATION: CUSTOMER AGREES THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THIS BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Arbitration is a dispute-resolution process that does not involve a judge or jury. Instead, Disputes are decided by a neutral third-party arbitrator in a process that is less formal than court. As used herein, the term “Dispute” means any claim or controversy, including, but not limited to, initial claims, counterclaims, cross claims and third-party claims, whether based in contract, tort, fraud, intentional acts, violation of any statute, code or regulation, or other legal theory. The term “Dispute” shall be given the broadest possible meaning and will apply to, without limitation, all claims and controversies arising from Customer’s interaction or relationship with ACS SECURITY. ACS SECURITY agrees not to elect arbitration if Customer files a Dispute in a small claims court in Customer’s state of residency so long as the Dispute is individual and non-representative in nature and remains exclusively as such in small claims court. Pre-Arbitration Notice Requirement. Before initiating an arbitration or a small claims matter, Customer agrees to first provide a written “Notice of Dispute” that will contain: (a) a written description of the issue and the supporting documents and information, and (b) a specific request for money or other relief. A Notice of Dispute to ACS SECURITY should be sent to the address written on Page One of this ORDER. ACS SECURITY will mail a Notice of Dispute to the protected Premises address. Both parties agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration or small claims action. Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either party elects to arbitrate a Dispute, the Dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement and the then-current code of proceedings of the national arbitration organization to which the Dispute is referred. A party may refer a Dispute to either the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). If ACS SECURITY elects arbitration and chooses one of the organizations to administer, Customer may object and automatically have the other organization administer the proceedings simply by notifying ACS SECURITY of Customer’s objection in writing within 30 days of Customer’s receipt of ACS SECURITY’s initial selection. To obtain a copy of the procedures, or to file a Dispute, Customer may contact the organizations at the following: (1) AAA, 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, www.adr.org, and (2) JAMS, 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 92614, www.jamsadr. com. IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE A DISPUTE, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO OTHERWISE LITIGATE THE DISPUTE IN COURT. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, THE PARTIES MAY ALSO WAIVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE IN COURT. FURTHER, IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE A DISPUTE, CUSTOMER WAIVES THEIR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS ACTION RELATING TO THE DISPUTE. This means that all Disputes selected for arbitration will be arbitrated on an individual basis, between ACS SECURITY and Customer only, without exception. A Dispute cannot be joined or consolidated with any other claim or action. Arbitration Proceedings. Because Customer’s Transaction with ACS SECURITY involves interstate commerce, this Arbitration Agreement and any Dispute arbitrated hereunder shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The JAMS or AAA code of procedures, as chosen, will govern the arbitration, but if there is a conflict between the applicable code of procedures and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement shall control to the fullest extent permitted by the FAA. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator at a location within the federal judicial district within which the Customer resides. Upon Customer’s request, ACS SECURITY will reimburse Customer for all filing and administrative fees required for initiating the arbitration. Otherwise, each party is responsible for its own respective costs and fees, including, but not limited to, attorney and expert fees. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law and, upon the request of either party, issue a written explanation of the basis for the decision. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS, THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. A party may appeal the arbitrator’s initial award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration organization upon written notice within 30 days of the initial award. The arbitration organization will notify the other party of the appeal. The panel shall consider any aspect of the initial award objected to by the appealing party and issue a decision within 120 days of the date of the notice of appeal. The majority decision by the three-member panel shall be binding and final. Any dispute regarding the applicability, enforcement or interpretation of this Paragraph or Section A above shall be resolved by a court having proper jurisdiction. The Arbitration Agreement will not prevent Customer from bringing a Dispute to the attention of any federal, state or local government agency. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of this ORDER.
16. INFORMATION AND PRIVACY. Customer understands and agrees that in conjunction with employee training, quality control and the provision of services, ACS SECURITY may monitor and/or electronically record video and audio related to monitored activity at Customer’s Monitored Location, as well as conversations with Customer, emergency services providers, and law enforcement personnel. Further, Customer understands that privacy cannot be guaranteed on telephone, cable and computer systems, and ACS SECURITY shall not be liable to Customer for any claims, loss, damages or costs which may result from a lack of privacy experienced. Customer consent to ACS SECURITY (i) using information about Customer and Customer’s location (collectively, “information”) to administer Services, offer Customer new products or services, enforce the terms of this ORDER, prevent fraud and respond to regulatory and legal requirements, (ii) provide information, including information contained on Customer’s emergency information to law enforcement or fire service personnel for the purpose of providing services hereunder or in response to a subpoena or other such legal process, and (iii) using and sharing aggregate customer information and statistics that do not include information that identifies Customer personally. Except as required to provide the Services that Customer has selected, ACS SECURITY will not otherwise monitor Customer’s Monitored Location. Please refer to ACS SECURITY’s Privacy Policy on ACS SECURITY’s website for further details on the use of Customer’s personal information.
17. SECURITY INTEREST. Customer authorizes ACS SECURITY to file a Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statement naming Customer as debtor/lessee with respect to the System in order to protect ACS SECURITY’s interest in the System. The lease created by this ORDER is intended as a “Finance Lease” as that term is defined in Article 2A of the UCC. ACS SECURITY is entitled to all benefits, privileged and protections of a lessor under a Finance Lease and Customer irrevocably waives any right of notice thereof. Customer waive its rights as a lessee under UCC 2A Sections 509-522. If the lease is determined not to be a true lease, Customer grants ACS SECURITY a security interest in the System.
18. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. Except as set forth in this ORDER, ACS SECURITY makes no express warranties as to any matter whatsoever, including but not limited to, unless prohibited by law, the condition of the System, its merchantability, or its fitness for any particular purpose, and ACS SECURITY shall not be liable for consequential, special or incidental damages. ACS SECURITY does not represent nor warrant that the System may not be compromised or circumvented, or that the System will prevent any loss by burglary, hold-up, fire or otherwise or that the System will in all cases provide the protection for which it is installed. ACS SECURITY expressly disclaims any implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
19. PERSONAL GUARANTY. The undersigned Guarantor(s) irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to ACS SECURITY and its successors and assigns, the payments when due of all amounts owed under this ORDER and the performance by Customer of all terms of this ORDER and any other transaction between Customer and ACS SECURITY (collectively, “Liabilities”). If Customer shall fail to pay or perform any Liabilities when due, Guarantors shall, upon demand, pay any amounts which may be due from Customer and take any action required of Customer under this ORDER. This is an absolute and continuing guaranty and Guarantors’ liability under this Guaranty is primary and will not be affected by any settlement, extension, renewal or modification of this ORDER or any discharge or release of Customer’s obligations, whether by agreement or operation of law.
20. REPAIR SERVICE. During this ORDER, ACS SECURITY shall provide repair service providing all necessary labor, material, parts and equipment to service the System due to ordinary wear and tear only. Repair service may include the use of new, reconditioned, or remanufactured parts and assemblies. Repair service shall be performed between 9am and 5pm Monday-Friday, within reasonable time after receiving notice from Customer that service is requested, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Emergency service is available at all other times at ACS SECURITY’s then premium labor rates plus a trip charge. ACS SECURITY is not responsible for loss, damage, or injury while the System is under repair or is awaiting parts. Any repair, service, replacement, or additional services or equipment provided by ACS SECURITY after the initial installation or programming of the System, whether covered by the Repair Service, or otherwise, is governed by this ORDER, in particular the indemnity, limitation of liability, waiver of subrogation, insurance, shortened statute of limitations, and exculpatory clause, which limit ACS SECURITY’S and its subcontractors’ liability.
21. EXCULPATORY CLAUSE: ACS SECURITY and Customer agree that ACS SECURITY is not an insurer, and no insurance coverage is offered herein. The System and ACS SECURITY’S services are designed to detect and reduce certain risks of loss, though ACS SECURITY does not guarantee that no loss or damage will occur. This ORDER is not an insurance policy or a substitute for an insurance policy. Customer must obtain all property, life, health, disability, business interruption, or other necessary insurance. The payments required are based solely upon the value of the System or Services, and not on the value of Customer’s real or personal property or data, or the property of others located in or on Customer’s Monitored Location. ACS SECURITY is not assuming liability, and, therefore, shall not be liable to Customer or any other third party for any loss, economic or non-economic, in contract or tort, its active or passive negligence, data corruption or inability to retrieve data, personal injury or property damage sustained by Customer as a result of equipment failure, the contracting or transmission of, or exposure to a virus, bacteria, or other infectious disease, human error, burglary, theft, hold-up, fire, smoke, water or any other cause whatsoever, regardless of whether or not such loss or damage was caused by or contributed to by ACS SECURITY’S breach of contract, negligent performance to any degree in furtherance of this ORDER and whether active or passive, any extra contractual or legal duty, strict products liability, or negligent failure to perform any obligation pursuant to this ORDER or any other legal duty.
22. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither party shall be liable for any failure to perform its obligations where such failure is as a result of Acts of Nature (including fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane or other natural disaster), war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (regardless of whether war is declared), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power, confiscation, terrorist activities, nationalization, governmental sanction, blockage, embargo, labor dispute, strike, epidemic, pandemic, lockout or interruption or failure of electricity or telephone service.
23. INSURANCE / ALLOCATION OF RISK: Customer shall maintain a liability insurance policy appropriate for its Monitored Location for liability, casualty, fire, theft, and property damage and which shall cover any loss or damage ACS SECURITY’s services are intended to detect to one hundred percent of the insurable value or potential risk. The parties intend that the Customer assume all potential risk and damage that may arise by reason of failure of the equipment, System or ACS SECURITY’s services and that Customer will look to its own insurance carrier for any loss or assume the risk of loss. ACS SECURITY 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 or for such loss or damage against which Customer is indemnified or insured. Customer and all those claiming rights under Customer waive all rights against ACS SECURITY and its subcontractors for loss or damages caused by perils intended to be detected by ACS SECURITY’s services or covered by insurance to be obtained by Customer, except such rights as Customer or others may have to the proceeds of insurance. Customer understands that ACS SECURITY’s services are not intended to provide and should not be substituted for providing fire detection or prevention, personal protection and/or safety to any persons on Customer’s property.
24. TCPA CONSENT & PRIVACY: Notwithstanding any current or prior election to opt in or opt out of receiving telemarketing calls or SMS messages (including text messages) from ACS SECURITY, agents of ACS SECURITY, representatives, affiliates, or anyone calling on ACS SECURITY’s behalf, Customer expressly consents to be contacted by ACS SECURITY, agents of ACS SECURITY, representatives, affiliates, or anyone calling on ACS SECURITY’s behalf for any and all purposes arising out of or relating to Customer’s account, at any telephone number, or physical or electronic address Customer provides or at which Customer may be reached. Customer agrees ACS SECURITY may contact Customer in any way, including SMS messages (including text messages), calls using prerecorded messages or artificial voice, and calls and messages delivered using auto telephone dialing system or an automatic texting system. Automated messages may be played when the telephone is answered, whether by Customer or someone else. In the event that an agent or representative calls, he or she may also leave a message on Customer’s answering machine, voice mail, or send one via text. Customer consents to receive SMS messages (including text messages), calls and messages (including prerecorded and artificial voice and autodialed) from us, our agents, representatives, affiliates or anyone calling on our behalf at the specific number(s) Customer has provided to ACS SECURITY, or numbers ACS SECURITY can reasonably associate with Customer’s account (through skip trace, caller ID capture or other means), with information or questions about Customer’s application or account. Customer certifies, warrants and represents that the telephone numbers that Customer has provided to ACS SECURITY are Customer’s contact numbers. Customer represents that Customer is permitted to receive calls at each of the telephone numbers Customer has provided to ACS SECURITY. Customer agrees to promptly alert ACS SECURITY whenever Customer stops using a particular telephone number. Customer’s cellular or mobile telephone provider will charge Customer according to the type of plan Customer carries. Customer also agrees that ACS SECURITY may contact Customer by e-mail, using any email address Customer has provided to ACS SECURITY or that Customer provides to ACS SECURITY in the future. ACS SECURITY may listen to and/or record phone calls between Customer and ACS SECURITY representatives without notice to Customer as permitted by applicable law. For example, ACS SECURITY listens to and records calls for quality monitoring purposes.
25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: The entire and only agreement between the Customer and ACS SECURITY is written in this ORDER. It replaces any earlier oral or written understandings or agreements.
