You will need to let us know in advance if any third party intends to carry out work on the telephone lines within your premises, as this may
affect the Equipment’s effectiveness.

we have the right to remove the Equipment from your Premises without notice. By signing the Contract with us, you irrevocably authorise us to
enter your Premises to remove the Equipment if payment remains outstanding.

calls will be within the recommendations and standards of the SSAIB, or before the Equipment needs to be set, unless mutually agreed otherwise.

the work is covered by Clause 4

annual charge.

damage. Cover also extends to failure to perform and wrongful advice given unwittingly. A copy of the relevant insurance schedule is available
to the Customer upon request.

warrant that the installation may not be neutralized, circumvented or otherwise rendered ineffective by unauthorized persons and in such event
the Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer or other unauthorized persons. The Company accepts no
liability for claims falling outside the ambit of the indemnity referred to in Clause 7 (ii) above and the Customer is advised to arrange sufficient
insurance cover in respect of claims arising due to injury, loss or damage howsoever caused.

equipment is operational between routine maintenance visits carried out by the Company.
