SMOKE DETECTOR AND OTHER WARNINGS

 

Electrical smoke detectors are designed to be connected to an electrical power source. These smoke detectors will not operate, the alarm will not sound, and the alarm signal will not be transmitted, if the electricity is cut off and the backup battery, if part of the system, is low or dead. If there is any fire, the electricity may cut off before the alarm can function and the alarm will not sound, and the alarm signal will not be transmitted. Connecting these smoke detectors to a separate dedicated electrical circuit increases their reliability. However, even dedicated circuits can fail. WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES RECOMMEND THAT CUSTOMER INSTALL A BATTERY POWERED SMOKE DETECTOR AS A BACKUP SYSTEM. CUSTOMER SHOULD REGULARLY INSPECT CUSTOMER'S SMOKE DETECTORS FOR DIRT AND DUST BUILD-UP AND TEST THEM WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIESEKLY TO MAINTAIN CONTINUED OPERATION. Smoke detectors can significantly help to reduce loss, injury and death. However, no matter how good any detection device is, nothing works perfectly under every circumstance. WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES WARNS CUSTOMER THAT A SMOKE DETECTOR WILL NOT ENSURE THAT CUSTOMER WILL NEVER SUFFER DAMAGE OR INJURY.  WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT CUSTOMER CAREFULLY READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR ALL EQUIPMENT. THE OWNER'S MANUAL CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION SUCH AS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND EQUIPMENT TESTING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. CUSTOMER SHOULD ALSO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, WARNINGS AND OTHER INFORMATION ON THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF.

 

COMMUNICATION FACILITIES.

 

A. AUTHORIZATION.

 

CUSTOMER authorizes WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES, on CUSTOMER's behalf, to request services, orders or equipment from a telephone company or other company providing signal transmission services or facilities under this Agreement (referred to as "Telephone Company").

 

B. DIGITAL COMMUNICATOR.

SMOKE DETECTOR AND OTHER WARNINGS

 

Electrical smoke detectors are designed to be connected to an electrical power source. These smoke detectors will not operate, the alarm will not sound, and the alarm signal will not be transmitted, if the electricity is cut off and the backup battery, if part of the system, is low or dead. If there is any fire, the electricity may cut off before the alarm can function and the alarm will not sound, and the alarm signal will not be transmitted. Connecting these smoke detectors to a separate dedicated electrical circuit increases their reliability. However, even dedicated circuits can fail. WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES RECOMMEND THAT CUSTOMER INSTALL A BATTERY POWERED SMOKE DETECTOR AS A BACKUP SYSTEM. CUSTOMER SHOULD REGULARLY INSPECT CUSTOMER'S SMOKE DETECTORS FOR DIRT AND DUST BUILD-UP AND TEST THEM WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIESEKLY TO MAINTAIN CONTINUED OPERATION. Smoke detectors can significantly help to reduce loss, injury and death. However, no matter how good any detection device is, nothing works perfectly under every circumstance. WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES WARNS CUSTOMER THAT A SMOKE DETECTOR WILL NOT ENSURE THAT CUSTOMER WILL NEVER SUFFER DAMAGE OR INJURY.  WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT CUSTOMER CAREFULLY READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR ALL EQUIPMENT. THE OWNER'S MANUAL CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION SUCH AS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND EQUIPMENT TESTING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. CUSTOMER SHOULD ALSO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, WARNINGS AND OTHER INFORMATION ON THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF.

 

COMMUNICATION FACILITIES.

 

A. AUTHORIZATION.

 

CUSTOMER authorizes WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES, on CUSTOMER's behalf, to request services, orders or equipment from a telephone company or other company providing signal transmission services or facilities under this Agreement (referred to as "Telephone Company").

 

B. DIGITAL COMMUNICATOR.

 

CUSTOMER understand that a digital communicator, if installed under this Agreement, uses standard telephone lines for sending signals, which eliminates the need for a dedicated telephone line and the costs associated with such dedicated lines. CUSTOMER ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES AND ITS SUBCONTRACTED ALARM MONITORING CENTERS WILL NOT RECEIVE ALARM SIGNALS WHEN THE TELEPHONE LINE OR OTHER TRANSMISSION MODE IS NOT OPERATING OR HAS BEEN CUT, INTERFERED WITH OR IS OTHERWISE DAMAGED, OR WHEN ANY NON-STANDARD TELEPHONE LINE OR SERVICE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DSL, ADSL, VOIP, ETC.) ARE BEING USED.

 

C. DERIVED LOCAL CHANNEL.

 

The Telephone Company's services provided to CUSTOMER in connection with WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES services may include Derived Local Channel service. Such service may be provided under the Telephone Company's service marks or service names. These services include providing lines, signal paths, scanning and transmission. CUSTOMER agrees that the Telephone Company's liability is limited to the same extent WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES liability is limited according to the terms of this Agreement.

 

D. RADIO AND INTERNET INTERFACE.

 

CUSTOMER understand that if CUSTOMER's alarm system is connected to our subcontracted alarm monitoring center by radio frequency, cellular GSM, or internet connection method there may be times when the system is unable to acquire, transmit or maintain an alarm signal. Such radio frequency, cellular GSM and Internet methods include cellular or private radio or through an Internet communication facility or Internet service provider(s). If a radio frequency or Internet connection is utilized, WISE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES recommends CUSTOMER also use an additional method of communication to connect to our alarm-monitoring center.
