  1. PAYMENT AND TERMS. For the Monitoring Service, the subscriber agrees to pay the monthly, quarterly, or annual amount specified by the Company at the time of purchase 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. Subscriber agrees to pay all sales, service, property, use and local taxes; return check charges, or late charges, if applicable.

YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THE DEVICE MAY FAIL TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT A PORTION OF THE DEVICE RELIES UPON THE AVAILABILITY OF CELLULAR NETWORK COVERAGE TO OPERATE PROPERLY WHICH IS PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY THAT IS NOT CONTROLLED BY THE COMPANY.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMPANY WILL NOT SEND ANY COMPANY PERSONNEL IN RESPONSE TO ANY SIGNAL UNLESS A SERVICE AGREEMENT IS CURRENT AND ACTIVE BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSCRIBER.
