Subscriber acknowledges that Company reasonably relies on Subscriber’s commitment to the terms of this Agreement for the then entire Term, and that the amounts described above bear a reasonable relationship to and are
not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss to be incurred by Company upon Subscriber’s default.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the defaulting party will remain liable to the non-defaulting party for any damages incurred by the non-defaulting party due to the default even if such default is cured.

You understand and agree that (i) the amount you pay to Company is based solely only on the value of the Services we provide and not on the value of you or your premises or its contents, (ii) it is difficult to determine in advance the value of any personal injury or death or the property that might be lost, stolen or destroyed if our Services fail to operate properly and it is difficult to determine in advance what portion, if any, of any property loss, personal injury or death would be proximately caused by a Detection Event. You further understand that the amounts being charged by us are not sufficient to guarantee that no loss will occur.
11. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
Company will indemnify and hold Subscriber, its respective principals, agents, affiliates, directors, partners, representatives, members, officers, managers, employees, trustees and beneficiaries harmless from damage, loss, injury, liability and expense including legal fees and disbursements (each, a “Loss”) for claims arising from Company’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement (each, a “Breach by Company”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing hold harmless obligation will not apply to any Loss arising from or due to, directly or indirectly, occurrences or the consequences that the Service is intended to detect, avert or record (collectively, “Detection Events”). It is understood and agreed that third party or direct Subscriber claims or lawsuits arising from such Detection Events will be governed by Section 20.
COMPANY’S SERVICES DO NOT CAUSE AND CANNOT ELIMINATE OCCURRENCES OF THE EVENTS THEY ARE INTENDED TO DETECT OR AVERT. COMPANY MAKES NO GUARANTY OR WARRANTY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THAT THE SERVICES, SYSTEMS OR EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED WILL DETECT OR AVERT SUCH EVENTS OR THE CONSEQUENCES THEREFROM. ACCORDINGLY, COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERTAKE ANY RISK THAT SUBSCRIBER’S PERSON OR PROPERTY, OR THE PERSON OR PROPERTY OF OTHERS, MAY BE SUBJECT TO INJURY OR LOSS IF SUCH AN EVENT OCCURS.

AS A RESULT OF PAYING ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH LOSS, SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUBSCRIBER OR ANOTHER PERSON. IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 20 IN ITS ENTIRETY, COMPANY IS FOUND LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS DUE TO A DETECTION EVENT, ITS LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED, IN THE AGGREGATE, TO A SUM EQUAL TO THE ANNUAL SERVICE CHARGE, AS AGREED UPON DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY, AS SUBSCRIBER’S SOLE REMEDY. THE PARTIES AGREE TO SUCH A LIMIT OF LIABILITY BECAUSE, AS NOTED ABOVE, COMPANY IS NOT AN INSURER IN RESPECT OF DETECTION EVENTS. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGES TO PROPERTY.
12. BLUE PENCIL. In the event any term or condition set forth herein is found to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remainder of the agreement and each term shall continue in full force and effect.

In the event of any violation of this Section, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as an equitable accounting of all profits or benefits arising out of such violation, which remedy will be in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Disclosing Party may be entitled. For purposes of this Agreement, Information will also be deemed to include, without limitation, the confidential and proprietary information of any entity owning all or a majority of the Disclosing Party’s outstanding corporate stock or other ownership interests (“Parent Corporation”) and of any entity a majority or all of whose corporate stock or other ownership interests is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Corporation (“Affiliate”), whether such Information is provided to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party, the Parent Corporation or any Affiliate.

14. SUBCONTRACTORS. Company may not have any of the Services performed by subcontractors unless Subscriber’s prior written consent is obtained.
15. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The parties intend that an independent contractor relationship will be created by this Agreement. Subscriber is interested only in the results of Company’s work and will not exercise any control over the conduct or supervision of the Services or the means of its performance. Accordingly, Company will have full responsibility for the payment of all federal, state, and local taxes or contributions imposed pursuant to unemployment insurance, social security, income taxes, and workers’ compensation statutes, or any other similar statute and Company will be responsible solely for any liability resulting from the acts, omissions, or negligence of Company or its agents, employees, or subcontractors arising out of the performance of the Services.
16. NO AGENCY. Company does not have, nor will hold itself out as having, any right, power or authority to create any contract, obligation or other liability, either express or implied, that is binding upon Subscriber.
17. NO MEDIA RELEASES OR PUBLICATION. Without the prior
written consent of the other party, each party agrees not to: (a) advertise or publish in any manner that it has contracted with the other party; or (b) use the name or logo of the other party.
18. WAIVER. The failure of a party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement will in no way affect that party’s right to enforce such provision, nor will the waiver by a party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver of any further breach of the same provision or any other provision.
19. EXHIBITS. All exhibits described in this Agreement will be deemed to be incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, except that if there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the provisions of any exhibit, the provisions of this Agreement will control.
