subsidiaries, affiliates and its/their successor corporations or any subcontractor or assignee, within and outside the country in which the Customer is located and thereby subject such
information to the laws of such countries.
E. Limitation of Liability, Indemnification (Sale of Access/Video Equipment and Installation Only). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any purchasing document
presented by Customer, only Video and/or Access Equipment and Services shall be provided by Johnson Controls under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Equipment and
Services provided by Johnson Controls under this Agreement will not include: (a) burglar and/or fire detection or alarm equipment or monitoring, maintenance, inspection or other services;
(b) security guard services; or (c) architectural, engineering, or design professional services. If any other equipment or services are requested by or provided to Customer, then such
equipment and/or services shall be provided under a separate written agreement executed by Customer and Johnson Controls which shall contain the alarm industry specific terms and
conditions.
4.Indemnity. (a) Johnson Controls shall defend, indemnify and hold Customer, its corporate affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from damage,
liability and expense resulting from the negligent acts or willful misconduct of Johnson Controls’ agents and employees committed while performing Services on Customer's premises, to the
extent that they are the direct cause of the loss, damage or injury to third parties or Customer’s property (e.g., equipment dislodging and striking a third party due to improper installation), as
opposed to being caused by an occurrence or the consequences therefrom that the Equipment or Services were intended to deter, detect or avert. (b) Customer shall defend, indemnify and
hold Johnson Controls, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, harmless from damage, liability and expense to the extent that any such loss is not
directly caused by the negligent acts or willful misconduct of Johnson Controls’ agents and/or employees, or arises out of any claim related to invasion of privacy, infliction of emotional
distress, harassment, violation of eavesdropping/wiretapping laws or similar claims arising out of Customer's use of the Equipment and/or Services.
2. Limitations on Liability. If Customer uses the Equipment and/or Services to aid in monitoring or controlling the location or activities of persons on or about its property and premises,
Customer acknowledges that the Equipment and/or Services are not intended to be the sole means for doing so. Johnson Controls’ Equipment and Services do not cause and cannot
eliminate occurrences of the events they are intended to deter, detect, avert or record. Johnson Controls is not an insurer of the safety or security of any person, entity or property, or
against the risks attendant to a person’s presence in, or ingress to or egress from any building, property or area that may be monitored by the Equipment and/or Services. The amounts
Johnson Controls charges Customer are not insurance premiums. Such charges are based upon the value of the Equipment and Services provided and are unrelated to any such risk of
loss. Johnson Controls does not undertake and assumes no liability for such risk by providing the Equipment and/or Services. If Johnson Controls is nevertheless found liable under any
legal theory for loss, damage or injury caused directly or indirectly by occurrences or the consequences therefrom which the Equipment and/or Services are intended to deter, detect, avert
or record, Johnson Controls’ liability shall be limited to the sums paid by Customer for the Equipment or Services at issue as Customer's sole remedy. Johnson Controls is not responsible
for the preservation of any computer programs or data and Customer is responsible for maintaining adequate back-ups.
F. Other Charges; Remedies; Termination. 1. There may be a service charge to Customer for cancelled installation/service appointments if Customer cancels less than 24-hours prior to
dispatch, or if Johnson Controls’ representative is sent to the Customer's premises in response to a service call for false alarm or System malfunction caused by Customer's operation
contrary to instructions, failure to close or properly secure a window, door or other protected point, or improper adjustment of monitors or accessory components. 2.Failure to pay amounts
when due is a material breach of this Agreement and shall give Johnson Controls, in addition to any other available remedies, the right to stop performing any Services and/or withhold
further delivery of Equipment and other materials, terminate or suspend any software licenses, and/or terminate this Agreement and to charge interest on the amounts that remain unpaid
more than thirty (30) days past the due date specified in the invoice(s) at a rate equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, until payment is
made in full. . Customer agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees of Johnson Controls’ enforcement of this Agreement, including collection expenses, court costs, and attorneys’ fees. In
the event of Customer's default, the balance of any outstanding amounts will be immediately due and payable. Installation Charge(s) are based on Johnson Controls performing the
installation with its own personnel. If for any reason installation must be performed by outside contractors, Installation Charge(s) may be subject to revision. 3.In addition to any other
remedies available to Johnson Controls, Johnson Controls may terminate this Agreement and discontinue any Service(s) if (a) Johnson Controls’ CMC is substantially damaged by fire or
catastrophe or if Johnson Controls is unable to obtain any connections or privileges required to transmit signals between the Customer's premises, Johnson Controls’ CMC or the Municipal
Fire or Police Department or other first responder; (b) Customer fails to follow Johnson Controls’ recommendations for the repair or replacement of defective parts of the System not
covered under the Warranty or QSP Service; (c) Customer's failure to follow the operating instructions provided by Johnson Controls results in an undue number of false alarms or System
malfunction; (d) in Johnson Controls’ sole opinion, the premises in which the System is installed are unsafe, unsuitable, or so modified or altered after installation as to render continuation
of Service(s) impractical or impossible; (e) Johnson Controls is unable to obtain or continue to support technologies, TeleCom Services, Communication Facilities, Equipment or component
parts thereof that are discontinued, become obsolete or are otherwise not commercially available; or (f} Customer fails to make payments when due or otherwise breaches this Agreement.
Johnson Controls will not be liable for any damages or subject to any penalty as a result of any such termination.
G. Hazardous Materials. For all projects except those involving new construction, Customer represents and warrants that to the best of Customer's knowledge the work site is free of any
hazardous materials. The term “hazardous materials’ includes but is not be limited to asbestos, asbestos-containing material, polychlorinated biphenyl (“PCB”), formaldehyde or other
potentially toxic or otherwise hazardous material. If any such substance is discovered on the work site, Johnson Controls will not be required to install or service the Equipment at such site
unless and until Customer certifies the removal or safe containment of such hazardous materials. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Johnson Controls, its officers, directors,
agents, and vendors harmless from any damages, claims, injuries, liabilities resulting from the exposure of Johnson Controls’ employees, contractors, or subcontractors to hazardous
materials at the work site; provided, however, that the foregoing provision will not apply when it has been determined that such hazardous materials were brought to the work site by
Johnson Controls.
H. Waivers. 1.Waiver of Jury Trial. CUSTOMER AND JOHNSON CONTROLS BOTH AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT
OF OR IN ANY MANNER CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. 2.Mutual SAFETY Act Waiver. Certain of Johnson Controls’ systems and services have received
Certification and/or Designation as Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies (“QATT’) under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002, 6 U.S.C. §§ 441-444
(the “SAFETY Act’). As required under 6 C.F.R. 25.5 (e), to the maximum extent permitted by law, Johnson Controls and Customer hereby agree to waive their right to make any claims
against the other for any losses, including business interruption losses, sustained by either party or their respective employees, resulting from an activity resulting from an “Act of Terrorism’
as defined in 6 C.F.R. 25.2, when QATT have been deployed in defense against, response to, or recovery from such Act of Terrorism.
