For existing installations, CUSTOMER represents that it is the owner of the equipment to be serviced under this Agreement, or, if not the owner, has authority from the owner to include such equipment under this Agreement. For replacement equipment or consumables purchased by client and held at the client’s site, no responsibility will be imposed upon CLARKPOWELL, unless it is held within our sole and complete control.
6. Operation
CUSTOMER represents and agrees to properly test and set the system to off on every closing and to properly turn on the system on each opening (if applicable); to test any detection device, or other electronic equipment designated in the Proposal prior to setting the system for closed periods and to notify ClarkPowell promptly if such equipment fails to respond to the test; to use the equipment properly and follow proper operating procedures (if CUSTOMER requires ClarkPowell service); if ClarkPowell representatives are sent to CUSTOMER's premises in response to a service call or alarm signal caused by CUSTOMER improperly following operating instructions or failing to close or properly secure a protected point, to pay an additional service charge at the prevailing rate per occurrence; and that all walls, doors, skylight, windows or other elements of the premises as now constructed or to be constructed are or will be placed and maintained in such condition, at CUSTOMER's expense, as to permit proper installation and operation of the system(s).
7. Liquidated Damages
a) CLARKPOWELL’S LIMITS OF LIABILITY: It is understood that ClarkPowell is not an insurer; that insurance for whatever reason or purpose and in whatever amount shall be obtained by CUSTOMER, if any is desired; that the sums payable hereunder to ClarkPowell by CUSTOMER are based upon the value of services offered and the scope of liability undertaken and such sums are not related to the value of property belonging to CUSTOMER or to others located on CUSTOMER's premises.
b) CUSTOMER does not seek indemnity by this Agreement from ClarkPowell and specifically waives any rights for indemnity for any damages or losses caused by hazards to CUSTOMER’s employees, invitees, guests, or property.
c) CLARKPOWELL MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT THE SYSTEMS IT INSTALLS OR THE SERVICES IT FURNISHES WILL AVERT OR PREVENT OCCURRENCES, OR THE CONSEQUENCES THEREFROM, WHICH THE SYSTEMS AND SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO DETECT.
d) CUSTOMER agrees that ClarkPowell shall not be liable for any of CUSTOMER's losses or damages, irrespective of origin, to person or property, whether directly or indirectly caused by performance or nonperformance of obligations imposed by this agreement or by negligent acts or omissions of ClarkPowell, its agents or employees.
e) CUSTOMER does hereby waive and release any rights of recovery against ClarkPowell that it may have hereunder. It is agreed that it is impractical and impossible to fix actual damages which may arise from situations where there may be a failure of services provided, due to the uncertain value of CUSTOMER's property or the property of others kept on the protected premises which may be lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged or otherwise affected by occurrences which the system is designed to detect or avert.
f) Due to the inability of ClarkPowell to establish a causal connection between systems or service problems and CUSTOMER's possible loss, it is further agreed that if ClarkPowell should become liable for any losses or damages attributable to a failure of systems or services in any respect, its total liability to CUSTOMER shall be limited to $250.00, which CUSTOMER agrees is reasonable. The payment of this amount shall be ClarkPowell's sole and exclusive liability regardless of the amount of loss or damage incurred by CUSTOMER. No suit or action shall be brought against ClarkPowell more than one (1) year after the accrual of the cause of action therefore.
g) Since it is agreed that CUSTOMER retains the sole responsibility of the life and safety of all persons in the protected premises, and for protecting against losses to its own property or the property of others in the protected premises, CUSTOMER agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ClarkPowell from any and all such claims and lawsuits including the payment of all damages, expenses, costs, and attorney fees incurred by ClarkPowell, its employees and agents, from and against all claims, lawsuits and losses, by persons not a party to this Agreement, against ClarkPowell for failure of its equipment or services in any respect, alleged to be caused by the improper operation of the system, whether due to malfunctioning or non-functioning of the system, or by the negligence, active or passive, of ClarkPowell.
8. Successors
The Agreement is not assignable by CUSTOMER except upon the written consent of ClarkPowell, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld.
9. Entire Agreement
This Agreement is to govern the providing of services by ClarkPowell to CUSTOMER as described herein. Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed as creating a lease or a leasehold agreement between the parties. This Agreement is not binding unless approved in writing by an authorized representative of ClarkPowell. If approval is not obtained, the only liability of ClarkPowell shall be to return to CUSTOMER the amount, if any, paid to ClarkPowell upon the signing of the Agreement by its Sales Representative. This writing, together with any individually signed acceptance of Proposals, rider, other attachments pertaining to this Agreement is intended by the parties as the final expression of their agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and also as the complete and exclusive statement of the terms and such Agreement, notwithstanding any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent purchase order or other document relating to said subject matter. There is no course of dealing or usage of the trade what would supplement or conflict with its terms. This Agreement may only be amended in writing signed by both parties.
10. Jurisdiction
