The Customer also acknowledges that he has completed the portion of this contract which calls for that information, and the Company, in performing its obligations under this contract, will rely on the information given by the Customer.
2. The Customer hereby represents that it has contracted, or is about to contract, with the Company for the installation of a protective system at the premises owned or occupied by the Customer and in connection with such installation has also requested monitoring service of the said system. The Company and the Customer have entered into an agreement whereby the Company will provide monitoring services for the Customer consisting of the following:

4. The Customer shall carefully and properly set the alarm system each night or at such time as the Subscriber shall close its premises. The Customer shall carefully and properly test the alarm system prior to each close period and shall immediately report to the Company any claimed inadequacy of the system.
5. The Customer acknowledges that the alarm system is owned by him and all responsibility to notify the Customer of any problems with the maintenance, repair and service of the system are the sole responsibility of the Customer and not the Company.
6. The Customer understands that the signals from the alarm system which the Company will monitor are transmitted over normal telephone lines to the Company. The Customer also understand that the Company cannot be responsible for any monitoring during periods where the Customer’s telephone lines are not working or under any condition which would make it impossible to send a normal telephone call from the Customer’s place of business.

The Company will give the Customer at least fourteen (14) days notice of termination of such services to the Customer and, upon giving such notice, this agreement and all the Company’s responsibilities hereunder shall come to an end as of the date fixed in such notice. This agreement may also be suspended, at the Company’s option, should the protective equipment or the premises of the Customer become so substantially disabled or damaged that the further service is impracticable, or if the rendering of such service is not possible by reason of strike, riots, floods, fires, interruption of telephone communication service, act of God, or any other cause beyond the control of the Company.
9. IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED BY THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE”COMPANY IS NOT AN INSURER, AND THAT INSURANCE, IF ANY, COVERING PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE ON ANY CUSTOMER’S PREMISES SHALL BE OBTAINED BY THE CUSTOMER: THAT COMPANY IS BEING PAID TO MONITOR A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO REDUCE CERTAIN RISKS OF LOSS AND THAT THE AMOUNTS BEING CHARGED BY THE COMPANY ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO GUARANTEE THAT NO LOSS WILL OCCUR. THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSSES WHICH MAY OCCUR EVEN IF DUE TO THE COMPANY’S NEGLIGENT PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OBLIGATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT THE COMPANY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS THAT THE SYSTEM INSTALLED BY THE INSTALLER OR SERVICE SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE COMPROMISED OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL IN ALL CASES PROVIDE THE PROTECTION FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. SINCE IT IS IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY ARISE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF SERVICE PROVIDED, IF NOT WITHSTANDING THE ABOVE PROVISIONS, THERE SHOULD ARISE ANY LIABILITY ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY, SUCH LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO $100.00 (ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS) THIS SUM SHALL BE THE COMPLETE LIMIT OF THE COMPANY’S LIABILITY AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED AS A PENALTY. IN THE EVENT THE CUSTOMER WISHES THE COMPANY TO ASSUME A GREATER OR HIGHER LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THE CUSTOMER MAY AS A MATTER OF RIGHT, OBTAIN FROM THE COMPANY A HIGHER LIMIT BY PAYING AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT PROPORTIONED TO THE INCREASE IN DAMAGES, BUT SUCH ADDITIONAL OBLIGATION SHALL IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED TO HOLD THE COMPANY AS AN INSURER. THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO AND SHALL INDEMNIFY AND SAVE HARMLESS THE COMPANY, ITS EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, FOR THE AND AGAINST ALL THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, AND LOSSESS ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED BY THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE, NEGLIGENT PERFORMANCE, OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
