The parties hereby agree as follows:

1. RapidSOS Service Overview

The RapidSOS Service provides an additional avenue for individuals to communicate with and receive certain information from participating organizations regarding safety, emergency response services, public health, and other services. In general, there are three kinds of end-users of the RapidSOS Service:

  • If you use the RapidSOS Service to communicate with Emergency Service Providers (as defined below) or receive communications from Notification Providers (as defined below) you are a “Subscriber.” 
  • If you are a safety or emergency response provider including, without limitation, 9-1-1 or equivalent fire, police, emergency medical, emergency management, campus safety officials, public health services, or a monitoring service or central station, and you use the RapidSOS Service to receive information from Subscribers in order to facilitate the provision of safety or emergency services you are an “Emergency Service Provider.” 
  • If you use the RapidSOS Service to send emergency and general interest notifications and updates to Subscribers, you are a “Notification Provider.” 

The features that are made available to you via the RapidSOS Service may vary depending on if you are registered as a Subscriber, Emergency Service Provider, or a Notification Provider. Some of the provisions in these Terms will only apply to certain types of end-users and we have noted where this is the case.

2. RapidSOS Service Within the Platform

Access to the RapidSOS Service may have been made available to you as a separate feature that is part of a program, platform or device (“Platform”) that you obtained from a third party (“Platform Provider”).

Your account information will also include any other information (which may include personally identifiable information or health-related information) that you enter into or provide to the RapidSOS Service or through a Platform.

4.3 By creating an account with RapidSOS or through a Platform, you agree that RapidSOS may contact you to validate the phone number(s) or other information you register with your account. You also agree that if another individual registers and validates a phone number that you had previously registered, the phone number will be removed from your account and assigned to the other individual.

4.4 To the extent that you are accessing the RapidSOS Service through a Platform Provider, you must confirm with the Platform Provider, at least once every six (6) months, that the information within your account is accurate. Failure to do so may prevent your ability to use the RapidSOS Service.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to Section 16 of these Terms, if a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, you and RapidSOS agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within New York County, New York for the purpose of litigating any dispute. We operate the RapidSOS Service from our offices in New York, and we make no representation that Materials included in the RapidSOS Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Any claim brought against RapidSOS is subject to Section 16 of these Terms and, unless prohibited by applicable law, you must bring any claim against RapidSOS within one (1) year after the claim arose. If you do not bring such claim within such time period, then you waive your right to make such claim against RapidSOS and RapidSOS has no liability to you for such claim. It is critical that you bring any claim against RapidSOS in a timely manner. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RAPIDSOS AND YOU BOTH WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

15. General

These Terms, together with the RapidSOS Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and RapidSOS regarding your use of the RapidSOS Service. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, any provision that by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive, including, without limitation, Sections 2, 4 through 17.

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

16.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and RapidSOS in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and RapidSOS agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND RAPIDSOS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Unless prohibited by applicable law, you must bring any claim against RapidSOS within one (1) year after the claim arose. If you do not bring such claim within such time period, then you waive your right to make such claim against RapidSOS and RapidSOS has no liability to you for such claim. It is critical that you bring any claim against RapidSOS in a timely manner.

16.2 Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 16.1, we both agree that nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

16.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and RapidSOS will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting RapidSOS.

16.4 Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). RapidSOS’s address for Notice is: 3 Park Ave., Floor 22, New York, NY 10016. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or RapidSOS may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or RapidSOS must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, RapidSOS will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by RapidSOS in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $100.

16.5 Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, RapidSOS will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee (if you are successful in the arbitration proceeding), unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York County, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse RapidSOS for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

16.6 No Class Actions. YOU AND RAPIDSOS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and RapidSOS agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

16.7 Modifications. If RapidSOS makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to RapidSOS’s address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to RapidSOS’s address for Notice, in which case your account with RapidSOS will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive.

16.8 Enforceability. If Section 16.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 14 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

17. Consent to Electronic Communications

By using the RapidSOS Service, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us as further described in our RapidSOS Privacy Policy.

MONITORING SERVICES TERMS

  1. These Monitoring Services Terms (“Terms”) set forth herein are affirmed by the Subscriber named in connection with that certain End User License Agreement (“EULA”) between Company named and Subscriber for the benefit of RapidSOS, Inc., together with its licensed affiliate (collectively, “RapidSOS”) and the RapidSOS partner providing the Monitoring Services (as defined herein) (“Central Station”), and shall be governed by the terms of the EULA; provided that, in the event of a conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions of the EULA, these Terms shall be deemed to control as they pertain to the Monitoring Services only. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in the EULA or its attachments, the identity of the Central Station is Lydia Security Monitoring, Inc. dba Central Office Processing Services, C.O.P.S. Monitoring, United Central Control, UCC, and AlarmWATCH. Subscriber agrees to comply with these Terms.  For avoidance of doubt, RapidSOS and the Central Station are intended to be and shall have the rights of third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.
  2. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth hereinafter, Central Station will perform Monitoring Services for an electronic security alarm and/or video and/or voice communication system and/or telematics and/or application-based (including mobile phone applications) system and/or personal emergency response systems, or other wearable devices (each, and collectively, “System”) as an agent of RapidSOS and Company.  Central Station may, in its sole and absolute discretion add, change, or discontinue Monitoring Services; provided, however, Company shall give Subscriber thirty (30) days prior notice of any discontinuance or material change of the Monitoring Services.
  3. Subscriber understands and agrees that its local municipality may require that Subscriber obtain a license or permit for the use or monitoring of the System and that Subscriber is solely responsible for determining and complying with such obligations.
  4. Monitoring Service. Central Station operates a monitoring station(s) (“Monitoring Station”) for the receipt of audio transmissions from Systems; and communication with Subscriber and others including, but not limited to, police, fire, medical, ambulance, guard, patrol and response service, and other governmental, quasi-governmental, private or volunteer agencies, departments and organizations (collectively, “First Responders”), and others identified by Subscriber, such as emergency contacts (collectively, “Proper Authorities”), and the Subscriber desires to utilize Central Station for the receipt of (i) audio and/or video communication, (ii) electronic data transmissions (“Signals”), and/or (iii) video image transmissions from Systems, and for communication with Subscriber and Proper Authorities.  “Monitoring Services” mean and consist solely of monitoring service personnel (“Operator”) communicating electronically with Proper Authorities or calling by telephone the telephone numbers supplied by Company, Subscriber or RapidSOS in writing for Proper Authorities (the “Call List”) within a reasonable period of time under the circumstances at the Central Station’s monitoring facility and the priority of the Signals which are identified in writing (“Listed Codes”) or video images which, in the Operator’s discretion reveal the necessity for Monitoring Services, appear on the Operator’s computer screen at the Central Station’s monitoring facility or when voice communication requesting assistance is received by an Operator from Company, Subscriber, or Subscriber’s premises.  No Monitoring Service shall be rendered for voice communication which does not request assistance or for video images which do not clearly and conspicuously reveal the necessity for Monitoring Service. In the event a Signal is received at the Central Station’s monitoring facility which is not a Listed Code, Subscriber agrees that Central Station’s sole duty and obligation is for Central Station to log the Signal (the “Unlisted Code Policy”).  If the premises is located in a jurisdiction requiring a personal verified on-site response (“Verified Response”) prior to dispatching a First Responder, it is Subscriber’s sole responsibility to engage a service to provide such Verified Response. All fees, costs and expenses in connection with Verified Response shall be borne by Subscriber (unless Company chooses to bear such expenses). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (a) upon receipt of a Listed Code or video images and prior to communicating electronically or by telephone to First Responders or the Call List, Central Station may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without any liability, attempt to telephone the premises or attempt to contact Subscriber through telephone, electronic mail, text message or other similar means of communication at numbers or addresses provided to Central Station in writing by RapidSOS or Company, as frequently as Central Station deems appropriate to verify the necessity to report the receipt of a Listed Code or video images to First Responders or the Call List, and (b) upon the receipt of an abort code or oral or electronic advice to disregard the receipt of a Listed Code or video images from Company, Subscriber, or any of Subscriber’s personal contacts on the Call List, all of whom have Subscriber’s authority and consent to direct Central Station to disregard receipt of a listed code, Central Station may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without any liability, refrain from contacting First Responders or the Call List or advise anyone previously notified of a Listed Code or video images of receipt of an abort code or oral or electronic advice to disregard the receipt of the Listed Code or video images. Central Station’s efforts to notify First Responders or the Call List shall be satisfied by advice electronically or by telephone to any person answering the telephone at the telephone number(s) provided to Central Station in writing or by leaving a message with a telephone answering service or any mechanical, electrical, electronic or other technology permitting the recordation of voice or data communications. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (i) all software, hardware, firmware, codes, signals, audio and voice communications, video images, information and documentation arising out of or from, in connection with, related to, as a consequence of or resulting from the Monitoring Services (collectively, the “IP Property”) are the sole and exclusive property of Company, Central Station or RapidSOS, as applicable, and Subscriber has no rights whatsoever in any of the IP Property, and (ii) Central Station or RapidSOS, as applicable, shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to destroy, delete, erase, etc. (collectively, “Destruction”) the IP Property at any time without notice to Subscriber; provided, that upon Subscriber’s written request to retain any specific IP Property being received by Central Station prior to the Destruction of the IP Property, Central Station shall use commercially reasonable efforts to store the specific IP Property as requested by Subscriber on the condition precedent that Subscriber pay all fees, costs and expenses related to your request.
  5. Consent to Intercept, Record, Disclose, and Use Contents of Communications. Subscriber, for itself, and as the authorized agent of its agents, servants, representatives, employees, contractors, officers, and directors (individually and collectively, “Subscriber Party”), hereby consents to RapidSOS and/or Central Station intercepting, recording, retrieving, reviewing, copying, disclosing and using the contents of all telephone, video, wire, oral, electronic, internet, broadband and other forms of transmission or communication to which Company, RapidSOS, and/or Central Station and Subscriber or Subscriber Party are parties.
  6. Consent to Call Subscriber and Call List. Subscriber, for itself and as the authorized agent of each Subscriber Party and each person on Subscriber’s Call List from time-to-time, consents to Company, RapidSOS and Central Station calling each such person’s telephone, cell phone, or other mobile device in connection with the Monitoring Services.
  7. Transmission of Data, Video, or Voice. Subscriber, on its behalf and on behalf of Subscriber Parties acknowledges and agrees that Systems are non-supervised reporting devices. If the transmission medium for delivery of data, video images or voice or other audio communications from Subscriber or Subscriber Party to the Monitoring Station is incompatible with the System or is inoperative, circumvented, compromised or interrupted by natural or human causes including, without limitation, the cutting of the telephone line, radio transmission interference, power line surges or outages, internet or broadband problems and internet or broadband provider problems, there is no indication of this fact at the Monitoring Station. Further, Subscriber understands that (i) a video system enables RapidSOS and/or Central Station to view the premises of the Subscriber or a Subscriber Party (“Premises”) to the extent a System connected to the Monitoring Station is in use, and (ii) a two-way voice system, if in use at the Premises, enables RapidSOS and/or Central Station to “listen-in” to the Premises or via the device in use to contact Central Station. Subscriber, for itself and as authorized agent of each Subscriber Party, authorizes and consents to Central Station viewing the transmission of data, video, and voice (including “listening-in”) at the Premises and the area outside the Premises and releases Company, Central Station, RapidSOS, and their representatives for all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses due to Central Station viewing or receiving such data, video, or voice.
  8. Video Systems. If the System transmits video images, Subscriber shall (and shall cause relevant Subscriber Parties to) (i) provide and maintain adequate power and lighting for all cameras or other video-related equipment; (ii) inform all persons on the Premises that they may be monitored by video; (iii) not use or permit the use of video installed where any Person may have a reasonable expectation of privacy; (iv) use broadband connectivity exclusively to transmit video images from the system; (v) use the video system for security surveillance, management services, and emergency response only; (vi) not use the video system for any criminal, illegal, or otherwise unlawful activity; and (vii) obtain and keep in effect all permits or licenses required for the installation and operation of the video system. Subscriber understands and agrees (and shall inform relevant Subscriber Parties and receive their agreement) that (i) a video system enables RapidSOS and/or Central Station to record, store and review images of the interior of the Premises and the area outside of the Premises, to the extent applicable, and (ii) video with audio capability enables RapidSOS and/or Central Station to record, store and review oral communications from in and outside of the Premises. Subscriber hereby agrees, authorizes, and consents, and will cause relevant Subscriber Parties to agree, authorize, and consent, to Company, RapidSOS, and Central Station recording, storing, and reviewing video images and oral communications transmitted from the video system at the Premises or made part of the System. Monitoring Service in connection with the receipt of video images at Central Station’s Monitoring Station consists solely of Operator communicating electronically or calling by telephone the Proper Authorities within a reasonable period of time (and in consideration of the priority of all Signals and video images received by the Central Station’s Monitoring Station) after video images which, in the Operator’s reasonable discretion, reasonably conspicuously reveal the necessity for Monitoring Service, appear on the Operator’s computer screen at the Monitoring Station; provided, that the Operator shall not be required to view the video images more than one time as the video images appear on the Operator’s computer screen. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, RapidSOS’s and/or Central Station’s obligation to perform monitoring service in connection with any Listed Code received from activation of the an alarm/request for assistance or other Signal from the System is conditioned on (i) receipt of video images from the video system related to the Listed Code, and (ii) Operator’s determination, pursuant to this Section, of whether to communicate electronically or call by telephone First Responders or other Proper Authorities on the Call List.
  9. Medical Emergency Signal.  Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that RapidSOS’s and/or Central Station’s sole responsibility upon receipt of a medical emergency signal transmitted from the System is to call by telephone or send an electronic, real-time, data communication to the medical assistance providers listed as Proper Authorities in the relevant Call List. Subscriber understands and agrees that Company, Central Station, RapidSOS, and their respective representatives are hereby released from all liability due to active or passive sole, joint or several negligence of any kind or degree of Company, Central Station, RapidSOS, or their respective representatives which Subscriber, or anyone claiming through Subscriber, in any way might or could claim against Company, Central Station, RapidSOS, or their respective representatives based upon, arising out of or from, in connection with, resulting from, related to or as a consequence of failure or improper dispatch of medical assistance providers.
  10. Service Information Obligation of Subscriber. Subscriber shall properly and accurately complete and deliver to Company and/or RapidSOS and/or Central Station in writing all information required by Company and/or RapidSOS and/or Central Station to perform Monitoring Services under these Terms (“Information”). All Information (and all additions, modifications or changes) shall be (i) Subscriber’s sole and absolute responsibility, and (ii) in writing or electronically transmitted by Subscriber to Company and/or RapidSOS and/or Central Station. All Information shall not become available for use until transferred by Central Station to its database which shall occur not sooner than the next business day after receipt of the Information by the Central Station. No oral communication shall be binding on Central Station. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Company and/or RapidSOS and/or Central Station provides or agrees to provide any of the Information, Subscriber hereby releases Company and/or RapidSOS and/or Central Station for any and all acts, errors or omissions of Company and/or RapidSOS and/or Central Station, including Company’s and/or RapidSOS’s and/or Central Station’s active or passive sole, joint or several negligence of any kind or degree arising out of or from or related to Company and/or RapidSOS and/or Central Station providing, failing to provide or agreeing to provide any Information.
  11. False Alarms. In the event the System is activated for any reason outside the need for emergency assistance (a “False Alarm”), Subscriber shall be responsible for any fines, fees, costs, expenses and penalties assessed against Subscriber, Company, Central Station, or RapidSOS by any court, governmental agency, or municipality in connection with such False Alarm.
  12. PERS Communication Limitations.   The personal emergency response system (“PERS”) equipment, including without limitation any mobile device or fall monitor, is not infallible and the transmission and receipt of communications to or from such equipment may be interrupted or otherwise compromised.  The Monitoring Services may rely upon the availability of cellular service and data and the availability of global positioning system (“GPS”) or other location data to operate properly, all of which are provided by a third party that is not controlled by Central Station or RapidSOS.  The ability of a mobile device to accurately track a Subscriber’s location is dependent the availability of GPS, cellular network, and/or wireless internet coverage, depending on Subscriber’s location. The device will function only in areas, locations, and buildings where such service is available.  If such service is unavailable or unreliable, the device may not accurately reflect a Subscriber’s location (and, in the case of multistory buildings or construction, will not accurately reflect a Subscriber’s location) or it may not communicate at all with the Monitoring Station.  In such event, Central Station may be unable to communicate a Subscriber’s location to a First Responder, and a First Responder may not be able to locate such Subscriber.  Use of the 911 emergency services telephone line may enable a Subscriber to reach First Responders in this situation.  Subscriber understands the information in this paragraph.
  13. Fall Detection.  Subscriber understands that fall detection technology does not detect 100% of falls and may activate even when the Subscriber does not fall.  In addition, the system must have sufficient battery charge and/or cellular signal strength to transmit information.  A Subscriber should always push their help button when they need assistance.
  14. Email and Other Electronic Notices. In the event Subscriber elects to receive automatic email or other electronic notices of certain System events, e.g., the arming or disarming of the System, the triggering of an alarm by the System, etc., Subscriber acknowledges, understands and agrees that (i) any such notice is conditioned on (a) receipt of the data at Central Station’s Monitoring Station, (b) the proper operation of communication equipment, services, systems and networks including, without limitation, the internet, and (c) any failure, malfunction or delay in processing or transmitting the data by RapidSOS’s and/or Central Station’s equipment or software, and (ii) Company, RapidSOS and Central Station are hereby released from any liability arising out of or from, resulting from or in connection with the failure, malfunction or delay of any such notice for any reason, including Company’s, RapidSOS’s or Central Station’s or either of their respective representatives’ sole, joint or several negligence of any kind or degree.
  15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. SUBSCRIBER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES: THAT NONE OF COMPANY, CENTRAL STATION, RAPIDSOS, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, PARTNERS OR EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY, “REPRESENTATIVES”) IS AN INSURER; THAT SUBSCRIBER CURRENTLY HAS AND SHALL ALWAYS MAINTAIN INSURANCE COVERING SUBSCRIBER AND SUBSCRIBER PARTIES, INCLUDING, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, SUBSCRIBER PARTIES WHO MAY BE ON THE PREMISES, FOR MEDICAL, DISABILITY, LIFE, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE; THAT RECOVERY FOR ALL SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, COST AND EXPENSE SHALL BE LIMITED TO ANY SUCH INSURANCE COVERAGE ONLY; AND THAT COMPANY, CENTRAL STATION, RAPIDSOS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES ARE RELEASED FROM ALL LIABILITY DUE TO ACTIVE OR PASSIVE SOLE, JOINT OR SEVERAL NEGLIGENCE OF ANY KIND OR DEGREE, THE IMPROPER OPERATION OR NON-OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM, BREACH OF CONTRACT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BREACH OF WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR BY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO OR MALFUNCTION OF FACILITIES NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM, TRANSMIT ANY SIGNAL OR VIDEO IMAGE, OR OPERATE ANY MONITORING FACILITY.
