A. Customer’s individual recordkeeping requirements. The Accsense System is a Data Retention Hybrid System designed to store records electronically.

B. Providing for gaps in service. Extended power outages, or failure of Customer’s internet connection may result in gaps in data collection. Customer is responsible for power systems, product batteries and internet connection required.
C. Loss of Data resulting from failure of Customer to timely respond to alarms, or to leave the system in an alarm state after notification. If an alarm is not cleared, the system will not reset and a second alarm will not be set should there be a subsequent
circumstance under which an alarm would normally be set. Customer shall be responsible for any damage or loss of data resulting from Customer’s failure to clear alarms.
D. Paying for excessive intentional triggering of alarms. The system is designed in such a manner that Customer should not have to test the system more frequently than monthly.

E. Paying for excessive alarms resulting from failure to institute corrective action. In the event that Customer encounters an equipment failure that results in repeated alarms, it is Customer’s responsibility either to correct the condition, or to deactivate the alarming function until such time as the condition can be corrected. Uncontrolled generation of alarm calls incur excessive costs with no corresponding benefit to the Customer, and are inconsistent with the intended purpose of the Service. Any uncorrected condition that results in the generation of 100 calls per month or more shall be considered a breach of this Agreement, and may, at our absolute discretion, result in immediate termination of the Service.
F. Assuring the system is functioning correctly. It is the Customer’s responsibility to visually observe that the lights are on the system, and to make sure that the alarms are not turned off unless triggered and reset, and that all alarms are operating by checking the data displayed online.
G. Providing necessary contact information. The Accsense System requires customer information in the form of default contact names and addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, for the purpose of distributing notifications of upcoming system maintenance events, subscription renewal dates, and other necessary information. Customer acknowledges that no alarm can be sent until the system is set up and configured with the necessary contact information.
