Common use of Data Communications Clause in Contracts

Data Communications. The System transmits and receives voice, video and data (collectively, “Signals”) via some third-party communications equipment and service (e.g., telephone, cable, wireless, radio or satellite). The communications service may access or incorporate the Internet or some other network. Each communications service may be affected or delayed by any number of factors, natural or human. As a result, the transmission and receipt of Signals, regardless of the equipment or communications service used, may be interrupted, circumvented or otherwise compromised. In addition, the System and communications service may not be supervised. Under such circumstances, if the communications service is interrupted by any cause, there will not be any indication of such interruption at the monitoring facility or otherwise unless Subscriber elects to purchase and use any available form of technology designed to detect and report such an interruption at additional cost. If the communications service is incompatible, inoperative or interrupted, Signals will not be received at the monitoring facility or otherwise. You may elect to purchase and use some form of redundant communication equipment or service or some other form of communication service or equipment as part of the System at additional cost. Following installation, you must confirm that the communications equipment, technology and services used to transmit Signals to and from the System are compatible with the System and any monitoring facility, especially when there are changes to such communications equipment or services (e.g., starting, discontinuing, changing, adding or removing any form of equipment or communication services). You also must test the System, equipment and communications service, periodically, and following changes. You acknowledge that the Company is not responsible to provide or pay for the communications services necessary to enable the System to transmit and receive Signals at the monitoring facility. Further, you understand that (i) a two-way voice system enables Company to “listen-in” to your premises; and (ii) video cameras enables Company to view into your premises. You authorize and consent to Company listening-in and viewing and release Company and Representatives for all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses due to Company listening-in to or viewing your premises.
