By subscribing to Alarm Monitoring services on the EyeSyte App, activating the Device (as defined below) and sending a test signal to the Center (as defined below), Subscriber re-confirms that he / she has read this Agreement and accepts all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

Subscriber (sometimes referred to as “you”) has purchased a home security solutions (the “Device”) from MTN (sometimes referred to as “MTN”) and subscribe to monitoring services which will be provided by the Company. The Company agrees to provide monitoring services for the Device in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and as further described on our website at www.smartalert.ng

SERVICES. During the term of this Agreement, the Company will provide seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day monitoring of the Device (the “Monitoring Service”) in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. The Monitoring Service will include receipt, analysis and response to alarm signals and alarm calls made by Subscriber through the Device. The Device is intended to be used only for emergencies and the Company may notify appropriate authorities (i.e., police, fire department or other emergency personnel) if a signal is received from the Device and the Company verifies such signal. The Monitoring Service is designed to track the Device, and, therefore, if (i) you provide the Device to another person or (ii) relocate the device to another facility, the Monitoring Service will not be able to track your location.

THE MONITORING SERVICE WILL NOT BEGIN AND THE COMPANY WILL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY EMERGENCY PERSONNEL UNTIL A TEST SIGNAL FROM THE DEVICE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVED BY THE COMPANY AT ITS MONITORING CENTRE AND YOU HAVE RECEIVED CONFIRMATION THAT SUCH SIGNAL HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

PAYMENT AND TERMS. For the Monitoring Service, you agree to pay the monthly subscription amount specified in the EyeSyte App at the time of subscription beginning from the time the Device is activated. The Monitoring Service shall begin only when the test signal from the Device has been successfully received by the Company (the “Effective Date”). The original term of this Agreement is the billing cycle selected and will renew for the same consecutive billing cycle thereafter unless terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

You agree to pay any police, fire department, ambulance or paramedic charges or fees; and any permit fees, telephone charges, return check charges, or late charges, if applicable, whether imposed on you or us. We shall have the right, at any time, to increase the services fee to reflect any additional or increased taxes, licenses, permits, fees or charges which may be charged to us by any utility or governmental agency, the Center or any private response agency relating to the Monitoring Service and you agree to pay the same. Late payments for any charges billed by the Company will be subject to a flat fee of 2% per month. In the event that it shall become necessary for us to undertake legal proceedings to collect payments due under this Agreement then you agree to pay us our reasonable attorney’s fees for such collection action except where prohibited by law.

IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT A PORTION OF THE DEVICE RELIES UPON THE AVAILABILITY OF GPS COVERAGE, WIRELESS INTERNET NETWORK AVAILABILITY AND/OR CELLULAR NETWORK COVERAGE TO OPERATE PROPERLY AS WELL AS THE AVAILABILITY OF SATELLITE GPS DATA, BOTH OF WHICH ARE PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY THAT IS NOT CONTROLLED BY THE COMPANY.
MONITORING SERVICE. The Device is connected to the Company’s monitoring network. When an emergency signal from the Device is received by the Company, the Company shall, without warranty, make every reasonable effort to promptly contact you and, if the Company determines that it is necessary in its reasonable judgment, notify the appropriate emergency authorities (fire department, police, ambulance service, etc.) (collectively, the “Responders” and each a “Responder”). You represent that the emergency contact information provided by you to the Company is accurate. To avoid false alarms, the Company may first call your contact telephone number to determine if an actual emergency exists before contacting any Responder. If the Company has reason to believe that no actual emergency exists, the Company may choose not to place such call or notify any Responder. You hereby agree that the Company may rely absolutely on the statements of Subscriber, the Responders or any person acting on behalf of Subscriber or the Responder, with regards to responses to the location and condition of Subscriber. We may discontinue any particular form of response if required to do so by any governmental authority or insurance interest.

In no event will the Company be liable for any loss or damages arising from the failure of any communication network.
FALSE ALARMS AND ABUSE OF SERVICE. You agree that you and others using the Device will use it carefully so as to avoid causing false alarms. False alarms can be caused by forces beyond our control.

Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that the Monitoring Service may be suspended from time to time for excessive false alarms, improper signals and “problem accounts.”
