control and jurisdiction of AIDANT and are maintained and serviced by the applicable telephone company or utility.
Any claim by CUSTOMER of improper installation or a defect in the system must be given in writing to AIDANT
within ten (10) days from installation completion. If power is required, CUSTOMER agrees to furnish 110v A.C.

repairs as shall be necessary as soon after receipt of such notice as is reasonably possible. Repair and service is
provided only to monitoring equipment provided by AIDANT and does not extend to any portion of the premises
or equipment to which the system is attached or connected. The maintenance of equipment is to be provided in a
separate maintenance agreement. CUSTOMER shall permit AIDANT access to the premises during regular
business hours and at all other reasonable times for any reason arising out of or in connection with the obligations
of AIDANT under this Agreement.
6. CUSTOMER agrees to furnish to AIDANT forthwith a list of names, titles, residence addresses, residence phone
numbers, and signatures of all persons authorized to enter the premises of CUSTOMER during the regular scheduled
closed period. All changes, revisions, and modifications to the list shall be supplied to AIDANT in writing.
7. The monitoring station, upon receipt of an alarm signal from the premises of the CUSTOMER, shall, without
warranty make every reasonable effort to do the following, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the

Department and notify the CUSTOMER by calling the telephone number provided to AIDANT in writing by the
CUSTOMER.
(b) Upon receipt of a sprinkler water flow, smoke, or heat signal, transmit the alarm to the Public Fire Department

writing by the CUSTOMER.

CUSTOMER shall be responsible to pay or reimburse AIDANT for the full amount of the charge. All unforeseen
charges from municipalities or agencies will be the sole responsibility of the CUSTOMER.
9. Should any part of the system be damaged by fire, water, vandalism, acts of God, or any cause beyond the control
of AIDANT, any repairs or replacements shall be paid for by the CUSTOMER. Upon termination of this Agreement
for any reason whatsoever, including CUSTOMER default in payment, AIDANT shall have the right, at its option,
to enter the premises and remove equipment belonging to AIDANT and/or reprogram the system so as to terminate
the alarm signal from transmitting to the U.L. approved monitoring station.
10. This agreement maybe suspended or canceled, without notice and without liability or penalty, at the option of
AIDANT in the event the equipment is destroyed by fire or by any other means, or is so substantially damaged that
it is impractical to continue service; or in the event that AIDANT is unable to either secure or retain connections or
privileges necessary for the transmission of signals between CUSTOMER’S premises and monitoring station or
Public Police Department and Public Fire Department for any reason whatsoever. AIDANT assumes no liability
for delay in installation of the system, or interruption of services due to strikes, riots, floods, fires, acts of God, or
any cause beyond the control of AIDANT. AIDANT will not be required to provide service to CUSTOMER while
interruption of service due to any such cause shall continue.
11. AIDANT does not represent or warrant that the system may not be circumvented or compromised, or that the system
will in all cases provide the protection for which it is installed or intended. It is agreed that AIDANT is not an
insurer. Insurance, if any, will be obtained by the CUSTOMER and the payments hereinbefore specified are based
solely on the value of the services herein described and are unrelated to the value of the CUSTOMER’S property
or others located on CUSTOMER’S premises. IT IS NOT THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES THAT AIDANT
ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS DUE TO AIDANT’S NEGLIGENT PERFORMANCE OR
FAILURE TO PERFORM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE SUSTAINED
THROUGH BURGLARY, THEFT, HOLD-UP, FIRE, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE. Because of the nature of the
services to be performed, it is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, which may
4 of 4
proximately result from failure on the part of AIDANT to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or
from the failure of the system to operate properly. Therefore, if notwithstanding the above provisions, there shall
at any time be, or arise, any liability on the part of AIDANT by virtue of this Agreement, whether due to the
negligence of AIDANT or otherwise, such liability shall be limited to the sum of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00).
This sum shall be paid and received as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, and such liability shall be complete
and exclusive.
12. CUSTOMER does hereby for himself and any other parties claiming under him, release and discharge AIDANT
from and against all hazards covered by CUSTOMER’S insurance, it being expressly agreed and understood that
no insurance company or insurer will have any right of subrogation against AIDANT.
13. CUSTOMER agrees to and shall indemnify and save harmless AIDANT, its employees and agents, for and against
any claims, suits, losses, demands, and expenses arising from any death of or injury to any person or any loss or
damage to property occasioned or alleged to be occasioned by AIDANT’S performance or failure to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, whether due to AIDANT’S negligence, or otherwise, or through burglary, theft,
robbery, fire, or any other cause.
14. In the event it shall become necessary for AIDANT to institute legal proceedings to collect the cost of installation,
the system, or monthly service charge as set forth herein, the CUSTOMER, due to default, will be liable to AIDANT
for the remaining amount due per this Agreement, plus cost of collection, including attorney’s fees.
15. This Agreement is not assignable by the CUSTOMER without prior written consent of AIDANT. No waiver by
AIDANT of any provision herein shall constitute a waiver of any other breach or of such provision. All prior
agreements between the parties or their predecessors pertaining to the protection services specified in this
Agreement are superseded by this Agreement.
16. In the event this Agreement is canceled by the CUSTOMER, prior to the start-up of monitoring, CUSTOMER shall
reimburse AIDANT for all costs incurred.
17. Payment is due and payable within ten (10) days of the stated billing date. Finance charges on past due accounts
will be computed by a periodic rate of 1.5 per month, which is an annual percentage rate of 18.
18. AIDANT may subcontract all or part of this Agreement at any time as the need arises.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, AIDANT and CUSTOMER have caused this Agreement to be signed by their duly
authorized representatives below.
This Agreement, including the terms and conditions listed above on this Agreement which are incorporated herein
and by reference made a part hereof, are acceptable.
