DAMAGES. THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THIS CONTRACT
WAS SIGNED WILL DETERMINE WHETHER THESE LIMITATIONS
AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY.
12.
ALARM MONITORING AND NOTIFICATION SERVICE.
We will provide alarm monitoring and notification
services. If you have elected for us to provide
alarm service that requires Police Response, Fire
Department Response, Guard Response, Medical Emergency
Notification or Two Way Voice monitoring services
and such an alarm is received at our alarm monitoring
center, we may, at our sole discretion, attempt
to contact you and/or anyone on your Emergency Contact
List by telephone/Two Way Voice to confirm that
the alarm is not false. If we fail to contact you
and/or someone on your Emergency Contact List, or
if we question the response we receive upon such
contact, we will attempt to notify the appropriate
police department or fire department or, if guard
response service is being provided, we will, for
an alarm that requires police response, endeavor
to dispatch a representative to make an investigation
of the exterior of the premises from his vehicle
and, upon evidence of an attack, we will endeavor
to notify the appropriate police department. You
agree that we shall have no liability pertaining
to any Two Way Voice communications or Internet
or other Video recordings or their publication.
If you have elected for us to provide Medical Emergency
Notification Services you agree that the very nature
of Medical Emergency Notification Services, irrespective
of any delays, involves uncertainty, risk and possible
serious injury, disability or death, for which we
should not under any circumstances be held responsible
or liable; that the equipment furnished for Medical
Emergency Notification Services is not foolproof
and may experience signal transmission failures
or delays for any number of reasons, whether or
not our fault of or under our control; that the
actual time required for medical emergency providers
to arrive at your premises and/or to transport any
person requiring medical attention is unpredictable
and that many contributing factors, including but
not limited to such things as telephone network
operation, distance, weather, road and traffic conditions,
alarm equipment function and human factors, both
with responding authorities and with us, may affect
medical emergency response; and that our performance
of, delay in performance of or failure to perform
Medical Emergency Notification Services under the
Agreement, and all of the transactions, occurrences,
consequences, and rights and obligations of the
parties relating directly or indirectly to Medical
Emergency Notification Services shall in all events
be subject to and controlled by Paragraphs 4-9 of
this Agreement. The person(s) identified on your
Emergency Contact List are authorized to act on
your behalf and the person(s) designated by a "Yes"
are authorized to cancel an alarm prior to the notification
of authorities. You understand that the equipment
we provide may not operate with other companies'
alarm monitoring equipment. This may prevent you
from using such equipment in the event you terminate
our services. You understand that local laws, ordinances
or policies may restrict our ability to provide
the alarm monitoring and notification services described
in this Contract and/or necessitate modified or
additional services and related charges to you.
You understand that we may employ a number of industry-recognized
measures to help reduce occurrences of false alarm
signal activations. These measures include, but
are not limited to, implementation of industry-recognized
default settings on alarm panels authorized under
ANSI-SIA CP-01-2000; default settings for "swinger
shutdown" of specific alarm zones; 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 YOUR PREMISES AFTER THE INITIAL
ALARM ACTIVATION UNTIL YOU MANUALLY RESET YOUR ALARM
SYSTEM. (You understand that, upon receiving notification
that a fire or carbon monoxide signal has been received
by us, the police, fire department or other responding
authority may forcibly enter your residence. WE
WILL NOT ARREST OR DETAIN ANY PERSON. Cellular radio
unit test supervision, if provided under this Contract,
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.
13.
FAILURE TO PAY CHARGES OR HONOR CONTRACT.
If you fail to make any payment when due or fail
to honor any other term or condition of this Contract,
we may stop providing the alarm monitoring and notification
services with or without notice. You agree that
we have no liability if we stop providing the alarm
monitoring and notification services. We do not
waive our right to any other legal remedy.
14.
SMOKE DETECTOR AND OTHER WARNINGS. Our electrical
smoke detectors are battery powered. THESE SMOKE
DETECTORS WILL NOT OPERATE, THE ALARM WILL NOT SOUND,
AND THE ALARM SIGNAL WILL NOT BE TRANSMITTED, IF
THE BATTERY IS LOW OR DEAD. YOU SHOULD REGULARLY
INSPECT YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS FOR DIRT AND DUST BUILD-UP
AND TEST THEM WEEKLY TO MAINTAIN CONTINUED OPERATION.
Smoke detectors can significantly help to reduce
loss, injury and death. However, no matter how good
any detection device is, nothing works perfectly
under every circumstance. WE WARN YOU THAT A SMOKE
DETECTOR WILL NOT ENSURE THAT YOU WILL NEVER SUFFER
DAMAGE OR INJURY. Our battery-powered motion detectors,
smoke detectors, door and window contact transmitters,
and other detection sensors, are not connected to
the electrical system of your premises. Such detection
sensors require batteries to operate. THESE BATTERY
POWERED DETECTION SENSORS WILL NOT OPERATE, AND
THE ALARM WILL NOT SOUND, IF THE BATTERIES ARE LOW
OR DEAD. You are responsible for maintaining the
batteries. You should regularly inspect such sensors
for dirt and dust buildup and test them weekly to
help maintain continued operation. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
THAT YOU CAREFULLY READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR ALL
EQUIPMENT. THE OWNER'S MANUAL CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT
INFORMATION SUCH AS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND EQUIPMENT
TESTING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. YOU SHOULD ALSO
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, WARNINGS AND OTHER INFORMATION
ON THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF.
15.
COMMUNICATION FACILITIES. A. AUTHORIZATION.
You authorize us, on your 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 Contract (referred to as "Telephone Company").
B. DIGITAL COMMUNICATOR. You understand that a digital
communicator, if installed under this Contract,
uses traditional telephone lines for sending signals
which eliminate the need for a dedicated telephone
line and the costs associated with such dedicated
lines. C. DERIVED LOCAL CHANNEL. The Telephone Company's
services provided to you in connection with our
services may include Derived Local Channel service.
Such service may be provided under the Telephone
Company's service marks or service names. These
services include providing lines, signal paths,
scanning and transmission. You agree that the Telephone
Company's liability is limited to the same extent
our liability is limited in Paragraphs 4-9 of this
Contract. D. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE 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 YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE FOR ANY REASON
INCLUDING NETWORK OUTAGE OR OTHER NETWORK PROBLEMS
SUCH AS CONGESTION OR DOWNTIME, ROUTING PROBLEMS,
OR INSTABILITY OF SIGNAL QUALITY. YOU UNDERSTAND
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 YOUR PREMISES
(THE BATTERY BACK-UP FOR SKYGUARD'S ALARM PANEL
DOES NOT POWER YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE); AND (2)
ELECTRONICS FAILURES SUCH AS A MODEM MALFUNCTION.
SKYGUARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU ALSO USE AN ADDITIONAL
BACK-UP METHOD OF COMMUNICATION TO CONNECT YOUR
ALARM SYSTEM TO SKYGUARD'S ALARM MONITORING CENTER
REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF TELEPHONE SERVICE YOU
USE. YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF SKYGUARD DETERMINES
IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION THAT YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE
IS OR BECOMES NON-COMPATIBLE, OR IF YOU CHANGE TO
ANOTHER TELEPHONE SERVICE THAT IS NOT COMPATIBLE,
THEN SKYGUARD REQUIRES THAT YOU USE AN ALTERNATE
METHOD OF COMMUNICATION ACCEPTABLE TO SKYGUARD AS
THE PRIMARY METHOD TO CONNECT YOUR ALARM SYSTEM
TO SKYGUARD'S ALARM MONITORING CENTER. YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT TRANSMISSION OF FIRE ALARM SIGNALS BY MEANS
OTHER THAN A TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE LINE MAY NOT
BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD FIRE ALARM
STANDARDS OR SOME LOCAL FIRE CODES, AND THAT IT
IS YOUR OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH SUCH STANDARDS
AND CODES. YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOUR ALARM
SYSTEM HAS A LINE CUT FEATURE, IT MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO DETECT IF YOUR NON-TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE
LINE IS CUT OR INTERRUPTED, AND THAT SKYGUARD MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD SYSTEM CHANGES OR PROVIDE
CERTAIN AUXILIARY MONITORING SERVICES THROUGH A
NON-TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE LINE OR SERVICE. YOU FURTHER
UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR ALARM PANEL MAY BE UNABLE TO
SEIZE YOUR PHONE LINE TO TRANSMIT AN ALARM SIGNAL
IF ANOTHER CONNECTION IS OFF THE HOOK DUE TO IMPROPER
CONNECTION OR OTHERWISE.
16.
CANCELLATION. We may, at any time, cancel
this Contract at our option if: A. Our alarm monitoring
center is destroyed or damaged so that it is impractical
for us to continue service; B. We cannot acquire
or retain the transmission connections or authorization
to transmit signals between your premises and our
alarm monitoring center or the applicable fire or
police department or other agency, or between our
alarm monitoring center and the applicable fire
or police department or other agency; C. You fail
to follow our recommendations to repair or replace
any defective parts of the system; D. You fail to
follow our operating instructions for the system;
or E. We determine that it is impractical to continue
service due to the modification or alteration of
your premises. If we cancel for any of the reasons
stated immediately above, we will refund any advance
payments made for services to be supplied after
the date of such termination, less any amounts still
due for services already rendered, and for any other
charges due, but we will not be liable for damages
or subject to penalty as a result of such termination.
We may cancel this Contract with or without notice
at our option if: A. You fail to pay any monies
when due under this Contract; B. You fail to comply
with any other term or condition of this Contract;
C. You fail to maintain your premises in a safe
and sanitary condition; or D. You change to a telephone/communications
service incompatible with alarm signal transmission.
If we cancel for any of the reasons stated immediately
above, we will not be liable for damages or subject
to penalty as a result of such termination.
17.
ASSIGNMENT. You may not assign this Contract
without our prior written consent. We have the right
to assign this Contract or to subcontract any of
our obligations under it without notifying you.
18.
DELAYS. WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY
TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DELAYS IN THE INSTALLATION
OR REPAIR OF THE SYSTEM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR
SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE REASON, OR FOR ANY RESULTING
CONSEQUENCES. WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY
FOR INTERRUPTIONS OF SERVICE, OR ANY RESULTING CONSEQUENCES,
WHETHER DUE TO STRIKE, RIOT, FLOOD, FIRE, TERRORISM,
ACT OF GOD, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
DURING ANY SUCH SERVICE INTERRUPTION, WE HAVE NO
OBLIGATION TO SUPPLY YOU SUBSTITUTE SERVICES.

relating to its validity, interpretation, performance,
and enforcement shall be construed in accordance
with, and shall be governed by, the substantive
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without

arising out of this Agreement shall be resolved
and determined solely and exclusively by arbitration,

party in any arbitration shall be entitled to receive

from the non-prevailing party. SkyGuard shall select
one arbitrator and you shall select one arbitrator
and the two so selected shall select a third. The
arbitrators shall be individuals skilled in the
legal and business aspects of the subject matter
of this Agreement. Notice of the demand for arbitration
