The Company reserves the right to install substitute components of equal quality in its reasonable opinion. Extended warranty for parts and labour is available at additional expense. Any defective systems or components thereof shall be repaired or replaced at the Company’s cost and no other reimbursement for losses, costs or damages shall be payable to the Customer. A service charge at the Company’s prevailing rates at the time of service shall be made if the cause of the service call is not covered by the above warranty.

The Customer also agrees that the system can fail for reasons beyond the control of the Company or response from the municipal authorities or designated contacts can be slow or ineffectual. As such this system is a deterrent and does not provide complete or unlimited protection or protection in lieu of insurance coverage.

The failure of the system to function or for the recipient of any alarm signal to react properly, for any reason whatsoever (including the Company’s or its agents’ or contractors’ negligence or gross negligence or substantial or fundamental breach of this agreement), shall not give rise to any liability, for breach of contract, tort or otherwise, on the Company’s part except to return to the Customer payment of a reasonable value of its monitoring services not performed, fixed at and limited to the return of not more than the annual monitoring service fee in the year in which any such loss occurs or in the case of any equipment failure to the return of the market value of such equipment at the time of loss which the parties agree constitutes a genuine pre-estimate of them of the Customer’s potential damages and is therefore agreed by the Company and the Customer to be liquidated damages.
