RFI has installed and serviced all types of burglar alarm equipment over the last
20 years. Due to the variety of proprietary alarm panels, the outdated equipment
within some buildings and the equipment communications that have developed
more over the last several years, to carry spare parts for every type system is
impractical. Our service trucks will have basic parts to allow for repair. If special
parts are needed we will determine those and if the customer is willing to pay for
red label shipping, we will order the parts on the next available business day. RFI

RFI has installed and serviced all types of surveillance equipment over the last 20
years. Due to the variety of cameras, the outdated equipment within some buildings
and the equipment communications that have developed more over the last several
years, to carry spare parts for every type system is impractical. Our service trucks
will have basic parts to allow for repair. If special parts are needed we will
determine those and if the customer is willing to pay for red label shipping, we will
order the parts on the next available business day. RFI does have an 800 number
with an on call technician 24/7. We will return a call to the customer by phone
within the 4-hour period. If during normal business hours we will respond
accordingly to any emergency type service.
We have installed a single camera to installations of more than 100 cameras. We
have certified technicians with multiple manufacturers to which enable us to
provide the best most reasonable system that fits the needs of the site. In some cases
there are compliance issues that are addressed at the time of proposals.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
5. MONITORING SERVICE: The monitoring of the system will be at the RFI Security, Inc.’s UL Listed monitoring facility or other facility chosen by RFI Security, Inc. To reduce false alarms, we use enhanced call verification (also known as 2-call verification or ECV). When a burglar alarm signal from the alarm system is received, the Center will first try to telephone your premises, and if there is no answer then will try to telephone the first available person on your emergency call list, to verify whether or not an emergency condition requiring police response exists. If there is no answer to both of these calls or the person contacted indicates that an emergency exists, the Center will attempt to notify the police department. The Center will also attempt to contact someone on your Responsible Party List to advise them that the police have been notified. When a fire alarm, hold-up alarm or duress alarm signal is received, the Center will attempt to notify the police or fire department or other emergency personnel and the first available person on your Responsible Party List. When a non-emergency signal is received, the Center will attempt to contact the premises or the first available person on your Responsible Party List but will not notify emergency authorities. The Center may choose not to notify any agency if it has reason to believe that the signal received does not require such notification. Both Parties are obligated to comply with all notification and response requirements imposed by governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the system. We may discontinue or change any particular response service due to governmental or insurance requirements by giving you written notice. If your Police or Fire Department now or in the future requires physical or visual verification of an emergency condition before responding to a request for assistance, you agree to subscribe to such service if provided by us at a commercially reasonable rate, or otherwise comply with such requirements, and we may charge an additional fee for such service. The city or county in which your premise is located may require that you obtain a permit for the use and monitoring of the system. Local authorities may not respond to alarm notifications until all permits or licenses for use of the system have been obtained. You consent to the tape recording of all telephonic communications between you, your premises and the Center. You agree that personnel at the Center and other employees may only be conversant in the English language and may not be able to communicate in other languages.
6. LIMITED WARRANTY – WHAT IS COVERED: For one (1) year after we complete the installation, we will repair or replace any defective part of the system without charge to you. We can use new or used parts of the same quality. WHAT IS NOT COVERED: Repair of the system is our only duty. This warranty does not include batteries or labor associated with the replacement of batteries and other disposable items. We make no other express warranty including any warranty of merchantability of the system or its fitness for any special purchase. We do not warrant that the system or services cannot be defeated or compromised or that it will always operate. This warranty does not cover repairs that are needed because of an accident, Acts of God, your failure to properly use the system, power failures or surges, or if someone other than us attempts to repair or change the system, or any other reason except a defect in the equipment or our installation. To obtain warranty service, see paragraph (4) of this Agreement. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. YOU AGREE THAT THIS IS OUR ONLY WARRANTY AND WE HAVE GIVEN YOU NO OTHER WARRANTY FOR THE SYSTEM.
DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY; WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SYSTEM OR SERVICES WILL PREVENT ANY LOSS OR INJURY DUE TO BURGLARY, HOLD UP, FIRE, OR OTHERWISE, OR THAT THE SYSTEM OR SERVICES WILL IN ALL CASES PROVIDE THE PROTECTION FOR WHICH THEY ARE INTENDED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (A) WE HAVE MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, NOR HAS SUBSCRIBER RELIED ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED; (B) YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR PREMISES OR TO THE CONTENTS THEREOF; AND ASSUME ALL RISK OF INJURY (INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH) TO PERSONS USING OR ON THE PREMISES. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE PROMPTNESS OF THE CENTER’S RESPONSE, AND WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE RESPONSE TIME OR CAPABILITY OF ANY AGENCY OR PERSON WHO MAY BE NOTIFIED AS A RESULT OF THE SYSTEM OR SERVICES BEING USED.
7. INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM: You will permit us (RFI Communications & Security Systems) to install the system during our normal business hours and you will give us uninterrupted access to your premises. You have approved the locations of where the control panel, keypad, audible devices and all protective devices will be installed. We will try to conceal the System’s wiring, but construction problems or obstacles may require that some of the wire be exposed. You have the duty to inform us, prior to starting our work, where we should not (because of concealed obstructions, or hazards such as pipes, wires or asbestos) enter or drill holes. Unless you notify us, we will determine where to drill holes and place equipment. Any alterations to your windows, glass doors and such items (i.e. drilling) may result in voiding your window manufacturer’s warranty. We will take reasonable precautions to avoid concealed obstructions, but we have no means of determining with certainty if they exist. Any costs to repair pipes, wires or other obstructions, and any resulting damage to walls, ceilings, floors, or furnishing shall be your sole expense and responsibility. If asbestos or any other health hazardous material is encountered during installation, we will cease work until you have, at your sole expense, obtained clearance from a licensed asbestos removal contractor that continuation of work will not pose any danger to our personnel. In no case shall we be liable for discovery or exposure of hidden asbestos or other hazardous material. If the system includes an exterior audible bell, horn or siren, it is designed to shut off after sounding for not more than thirty (30) minutes. You will provide 110 volt non-switched electrical outlets for the system’s transformers. We are not responsible if the installation is delayed because of bad weather, labor disputes, unavailability of electrical power or telephone service, Acts of God or other reasons beyond our control. After we complete the installation, you and our representative will inspect it. If something is missing or not properly installed you will tell us within ten (10) days, otherwise the system will have been accepted.
8. CHANGES TO THE SYSTEM: If you or any governmental agency or insurance interest wants us to change the System described on Page one or the Continuation Page, or change it after it is installed, you agree to pay our standard parts and labor charges for such changes. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN THIS SYSTEM AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT PROTECTION IS AVAILABLE FOR A HIGHER PRICE.
9. TITLE OF THE SYSTEM: We may elect not to monitor, activate the system, or provide other services until the sales price is paid in full. We retain title to the System until the total sales price is paid in full. If you fail to make any payment for the purchase of the System or services when due, we may discontinue installation, monitoring and other services. You will also permit us to disconnect and remove the System or any part of it from your home. Removal or disconnection of the System shall not be deemed a waiver of our rights to collect damages. We may terminate this Agreement and pursue any and all legal rights and remedies afforded to us by law to recover all damages to which we are entitled, including the value of the work performed and lost profits. We may also impose a late charge on all payments more than ten (10) days past due in the maximum amount permitted by State Law.
10. INCREASE IN MONITORING RATE: So that we may properly adjust our rates to meet changing monitoring and service costs, and notwithstanding any other terms or conditions set forth herein, after the expiration of one (1) year from the date of completion of installation, we may at any time and from time to time, but not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, increase the monthly service charge by a percentage not to exceed ten percent (10%) per increase, upon giving you notice in writing.
11. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION:
11.1 You agree that if this agreement is terminated by you for any reason, or if we terminate this agreement for (a) non-payment, or (b) any failure or refusal by you to properly test and/or maintain the system, or (c) your abuse of the system, our services or personnel, or (d) any other default by you, before the end of the term of this agreement, then you agree to pay all amounts due for services performed and an amount equal to our loss of profits for the remaining balance of the current term. If you breach any provision of this agreement upon written notice to your address, we may immediately interrupt and/or terminate service without liability. At our discretion, we may restore such interrupted or terminated service, following correction of violation and/or any payment issues.
11.2 We assume no liability for interruption of monitoring service due to strikes, riots, floods, storms, earthquakes, fires, power failures, your acts, interruption or unavailability of telephone service, acts of God, war, or for any other cause beyond our control, and we will not be required to supply alternate monitoring services/methods during such interruption. This agreement may be suspended or cancelled, at our option, if your premises and/or equipment or the Center are destroyed by fire, other catastrophe, or so substantially damaged that it is impractical to continue service, or in the event we are unable to render service as a result of any action by any governmental authority and/or insurance requirements.
11.3 False/Excessive Unwanted Signals: In the event a fine, penalty, or fee is assessed against us by any governmental or municipal agency as a result of any alarm signal originating from your premises, and no alarm condition exists, you agree to reimburse us for same. In addition, you shall pay us a fee for each false signal. In the event your system transmits an unusually high volume of false/unwanted signals, you authorize us to enter your premises for the sole purpose of removing the reporting feature programmed in the system. We reserve the right to charge additional fees associated with excessive unwanted signals.
12. YOUR DUTIES: You shall carefully and properly test the system periodically, but not less than monthly, during the term of this agreement. Some systems may require daily or weekly testing. If the system includes fire protection, you agree to perform or permit us to perform all necessary inspections, tests and service, and if performed by us, you agree to pay for all such inspections, tests and service at our then prevailing rates. If any defect in operation of the system develops, or in the event of a power failure or other interruption at your premises, you shall notify us immediately. You shall notify us in writing of any changes, revisions or modifications to the Responsible Party List or written instructions provided to us for signal handling. At your expense you shall obtain all necessary permits and licenses that may be required by any governmental agency for the use and operation of the system. When any device is used, including but not limited to space detection which is affected by the turbulence of air, occupied air space change or other disturbing conditions, you shall turn off and remove all things, animate or inanimate, including but not limited to all forced air heaters, air conditioners, animals and other sources of air turbulence or movement which may interfere with the effectiveness of the system during the closed period. You agree that we may disclose any information on the Responsible Party List to any agency having jurisdiction over the use and operation of the system. IF THE SYSTEM INCLUDES ANY WIRELESS DEVICES, YOU WILL REPLACE THE BATTERIES AS NEEDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM.
13. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP: You cannot sell, assign or transfer this agreement without our written consent, and any and all permitted assignments shall include a requirement that any assignee will agree to abide by the terms and conditions herein. In the event a change in ownership is pending, you shall inform us in writing fourteen (14) days prior to such change becoming effective. All changes shall be provided via Certified Mail.
14. DEFAULT: If you fail to pay any amount due, file petition in bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency; if you make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fail to perform any other provisions hereof; we shall have the right and may exercise any or all of the following remedies: (a) recover all the past due amounts from you and continue to monitor the system, in which case we shall be entitled to recover the monthly amount due under the contract for said services; or (b) discontinue service upon five (5) days written notice and recover all sums we may be entitled to under the law. In addition, a late payment fee of 1.5% (or the maximum interest rate permitted by law whichever is less) per month may be applied to your account if periodic invoices are not paid by the due date. The late payment fee is for costs associated with the late payment and shall not be deemed an interest payment. You agree to pay a fee of $25.00 for any check EFT or ACH transaction returned unpaid by a financial institution for any reason. A minimum-handling fee of $5.00 may be assessed to cover costs for rebilling and mailing statements. We may request payment by money order, cashier’s check, or similar form of secure payment at our discretion at any time. If we retain the services of a collection agency or an attorney to assist in remedying your breach of this agreement including but not limited to nonpayment of charges herein, you shall be liable for and agree to pay all expenses associated to collections, including attorney fees.
15. ASSIGNEES AND SUBCONTRACTORS: We shall have the right to assign this agreement to any other person, firm or corporation without notice to you and shall have the further right to subcontract any services, which we may perform. Upon our assignment of this agreement, our obligations shall terminate. You acknowledge that this agreement, and particularly those paragraphs relating to our limited liability and third party indemnification, inure to the benefit of and are applicable to any assignees, and/or subcontractors and the work they perform, and that they bind you with respect to said assignees, and/or subcontractors with the same force and effect as they bind you to us.
16. TRANSMISSION FACILITIES: The system includes a communicator that send signals to the Center over your regular telephone service, Internet service, dedicated cellular service or long range radio. For a regular telephone service connection, you will pay for all telephone charges including any installation fee for a special jack to connect the alarm system to your telephone service, and we recommend the use of an RJ31X or equivalent telephone jack to give the system priority over the other telephones in your premises; however, when the system is activated, you will be unable to use your telephone to make other calls (such as calls to 911 emergency operator), and therefore, you may wish to have the system connected to a second telephone line. If your telephone is out of order, placed on vacation status or otherwise not working, signals cannot be transmitted to the Center and we will not know of the telephone service problem. You further acknowledge that the telephone utility may stop providing standard landline telephone service, which may require that you subscribe to an alternative transmission facility, which may result in an increased services fee. You acknowledge that the use of cellular, Internet or radio systems may be controlled by local state agencies and the Federal Communications Commission and changes in rules, regulations and policies may necessitate our discontinuing such transmission facilities at our option, in which event we will substitute another service. Internet, cellular or radio transmissions may be impaired by atmospheric conditions, including electrical storms, power failures or other conditions and events beyond our control, and we make no representations or warranties as to how fast a signal will be received at the Center, because signal transmission speed may be adversely affected by Internet traffic or other causes beyond our control. For Internet service you are required to maintain a high-speed always-on Internet connection. You may be required to execute an additional agreement for Internet, cellular or radio transmission service. You acknowledge and agree that all software, firmware, computer codes and transmission facilities are our sole and exclusive property and are not part of the system. You further acknowledge that signals are transmitted over communications facilities provided by independent carriers or providers, which are wholly beyond our control and is maintained and serviced, solely by the applicable carrier or provider. You agree to reimburse us for any costs we may incur to reprogram the communicator because of area code changes or other dialing pattern changes. If telephone service is used, the use of DSL or other broadband telephone service may prevent the system from transmitting alarm signals to the monitoring facility and/or interfere with the telephone line-seizure feature of the system. Such services should be installed on a telephone number that is not used for alarm signal transmission. You agree to notify us if you have installed or intend to install DSL or other broadband service. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF DSL OR OTHER BROADBAND SERVICE YOU MUST TEST THE SYSTEM’S SIGNAL TRANSMISSION WITH THE CENTER.
17. REPAIR SERVICE. Except as limited below, we shall provide repair service for the System including all parts and labor. All repairs shall be performed during normal business hours, which are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, except holidays we observe, and will be performed as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of notice from you. Emergency service is available at other times at our prevailing service rates. You agree to pay for all parts and labor necessary to repair the System as a result of damage to the System caused by accident, your misuse or modification of the System, acts of God, or attempted repair service performed by anyone other than Company or our designee. Charges for repairs will be based on our existing labor and material rates and will be portal to portal with a minimum one (1) hour visit charge and will be due and payable upon completion of the work. If you fail to pay for such charges upon completion of the work, we may terminate this Agreement. For fire alarm or sprinkler supervisory systems we will provide inspection and testing service as set forth on the equipment description. Inspections and tests will be performed only during our normal business hours described above. We have no obligation to repair equipment to which the System is attached (e.g., a sprinkler system or access control system.)
18. RFI IS NOT AN INSURER; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: You understand that: (a) we are not an insurer of your premise, property or the personal safety of persons on your premise; (b) you are solely responsible for providing any life, health or disability insurance for yourself and persons who use the System, and insurance on your premise and its contents; (c) the amount you pay to us is based only on the value of the service we provide and not on the value of your premise or its contents; (d) alarm systems and monitoring service may not always operate properly for various reasons; (e) it is difficult to determine in advance the value of the property that might be lost, stolen or destroyed if the System or our service fails to operate properly; (f) it is difficult to determine in advance how fast the police or fire department or others would respond to an alarm signal; (g) it is difficult to determine in advance what portion, if any, of any property loss, personal injury or death would be proximately caused by our failure to perform, our negligence, or a failure of the System or service; and (h) we are not an insurer of the safety and privacy of your information stored on our computer systems, and our computer systems are subject to risks related to cyberattacks and cybercrime, as a result of which information and video footage about you and your premises may be intercepted and used by third parties in a way that would compromise, your safety and privacy, the safety of your premises, and the privacy and safety of third parties on your premises. THEREFORE YOU AGREE that even if a court decides that our breach of this Agreement, or a failure of the System, or our negligence, or a failure of the installation or design of the System, or a failure of monitoring or repair service caused or allowed any harm or damage (whether property damage, personal injury or death) to you or anyone in your premise, you agree that our liability shall be limited to the lesser of $500.00 or six times the monthly Services Fee, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, and this shall be your only remedy regardless of what legal theory (including without limitation, negligence, breach of contract, breach of warranty or product liability) is used to determine that we were liable for the injury or loss. YOU MAY OBTAIN A HIGHER LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. If you wish, you may obtain from us a higher limitation of liability in lieu of the liquidated damages for an additional periodic charge. If you elect this option, we will attach a rider to this Agreement, which will set forth the amount of the higher limitation of liability and the amount of the additional charge. Agreeing to the limitation of liability does not mean that we are an insurer.
19. THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFICATION AND SUBROGATION: If anyone other than you, asks us to pay for any harm or damages (including property damage, personal injury or death) connected with or resulting from (a) our breach of this agreement, (b) a failure of the installation, design of the system, the system or services, (c) our negligence, (d) any other improper or careless activity of ours in providing the system or services, or (e) a claim for indemnification or contribution, you will pay us (a) any amount which a court orders us to pay or which we reasonably agree to pay, and (b) the amount of our reasonable attorney’s fees and any other losses or costs that we may pay in connection with the harm or damages. Your obligation to pay us for such harm or damages shall not apply if the harm or damages happen while one of our employees or subcontractors is in or about your premises, and that employee or subcontractor solely causes such harm or damages. Unless prohibited by your property insurance policy, you agree to release us from any claims of any parties suing through your authority or in your name, such as your insurance company, and you agree to defend us against any such claim. You will notify your insurance company of this release.
20. TAXES, FEES AND LICENSES: You shall obtain at your sole expense all necessary permits and licenses that may be required by any agency for the use and operation of the system. In addition, you further understand and agree that all charges listed in this Agreement are based upon existing federal, state and local taxes and utility charges, including telephone company line charges, cable or internet provider charges, if any. We shall have the right, at any time, to increase the fees to reflect any additional fees and/or charges which may be imposed on us in the future by any utility, governmental agency relating to the service(s) provided hereunder and you agree to pay the same.
21.

No waiver of any term or condition of this agreement shall be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding term or condition. In the event any of the terms or provisions of this agreement shall be declared to be invalid or inoperative, all of the remaining terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect. It is understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto, that if there is any conflict between this agreement and your purchase order or any other document, this agreement will govern, whether such purchase order or other document is prior or subsequent to this agreement. You agree that we may save and store all contracts and other documents executed by you in an electronic media and all such contracts and other documents shall be deemed to be, and may be used by us as originals and shall be given the same force and effect as the paper-form originals.
22. LIMITATIONS ON ACTIONS; VENUE; REFERENCE: The parties hereby agree that no suit or action that relates in any way to this agreement whether based upon contract, negligence or otherwise, shall be brought against the other more than one (1) year after the accrual of the cause of action. Any such action shall be brought in Santa Clara County, California. Both parties agree that no law suit or any other legal proceeding connected with this agreement shall be brought or filed more than one (1) year after the incident giving rise to the claim occurred. In addition, both parties waive any right to a jury trial in any matter related to this agreement.
23. PRIVACY AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE: You understand and agree that in conjunction with employee training, quality control and the provision of services, we may monitor and/or electronically record video and audio related to monitored activity at your location, as well as conversations with you, your employees and agents, emergency services providers, and law enforcement personnel.
