Additionally, Brady shall not be liable for any damages <br />(whether direct or indirect) resulting from work performed on boiler <br />systems where in the Customer has permitted untrained personnel <br />to perform services and adjustments on the boiler systems, or on <br />systems where safety systems have been altered or bypass or on <br />any systems where fuel oil ‘pooling’, gas odors, exposed piping, <br />suspected asbestos or other safety hazards exist. <br /> <br />If Brady is found liable for loss, damage or injury under any legal <br />theory due to a failure of the Customer’s services, system or <br />equipment in any respect, its liability shall be limited to a sum equal <br />to 10% of the Annual Service Charge or $1,000, whichever is <br />greater, as agreed upon damages and not as a penalty, as <br />Customer's sole remedy. The provisions of this Section shall apply <br />no matter how the loss, damage or injury or other consequence <br />occurs, even if due to Brady's performance or non-performance of <br />its obligations under this Agreement or from negligence, active or <br />otherwise, strict liability, violation of any applicable consumer <br />protection law or any other alleged fault on the part of Brady, its <br />agents or employees.

Discovery Period <br /> <br />No suit or action shall be brought against Brady or its agents, <br />employees, subsidiaries, affiliates or parents (both direct and <br />indirect) more than one year after the incident that resulted in the <br />loss, injury or damage occurred, or the shortest duration permitted <br />under applicable law if such period is greater than one year. The <br />provisions of this section shall apply to and benefit Brady and its <br />agents, employees, contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, and <br />vendors. If this Agreement provides for a direct connection to a <br />municipal police or fire department or other organization, then that <br />department or other organization may also invoke the provisions of <br />this section against any claims due to any failure of such <br />department or organization. Brady is not responsible for the <br />preservation of any computer programs or data and Customer is <br />responsible for maintaining adequate back-ups. <br /> <br />12. Warranty <br /> <br />Brady’s warranty with respect to manufactured material supplied is <br />limited to the manufacturer’s warranty (if any). In no event shall <br />Brady be liable to Customer for any breach of the manufacturer’s <br />warranty or for any consequential or special damages or for <br />transportation or other expenses, which may arise in connection <br />with any defective goods. <br /> <br />Brady’s warranty with respect to labor is that the services have <br />been properly performed. The labor warranty is for a period of 90 <br />days from completion and Brady’s obligation under this warranty is <br />limited to correcting any improperly performed labor. In no event <br />shall Brady be liable to Customer for any breach of the labor <br />warranty or for any consequential or special damages or for other <br />expenses, which may arise in connection with any improperly <br />performed labor. <br /> <br />Brady makes no warranty with respect to systems performance or <br />emissions readings between preventive maintenance inspections <br />and exhaust gas analysis. Additionally, Brady makes no warranty or <br />representation with respect to work performed on systems where in <br />the Customer has permitted untrained personnel to perform <br />services and adjustments on the boiler systems, or on systems <br />where safety systems have been altered or bypass or on any <br />systems where fuel oil ‘pooling’, gas odors, exposed piping, <br />suspected asbestos or other safety hazards exist. <br /> <br />THESE WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY MADE IN LIEU OF ANY <br />AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, <br />INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND <br />FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. <br /> <br />13. Exceptions to Warranty <br /> <br />The following “Conditions” are not covered by Brady’s warranty: <br />a. Damage or extra service needed as the result of accidents, <br />acts of God, lightning, strikes, riots, floods, terrorism, acts of <br />war, alteration, misuse, tampering or abuse, adjustments, <br />repairs or maintenance not done by Brady or from parts, <br />accessories, attachments or other devices not furnished by <br />Brady; <br />b. Customer's failure to properly follow operating instructions <br />provided by Brady; <br />c. Adjustments necessitated by misalignment of video cameras, <br />improper adjustment of monitor brightness and contrast tuning <br />dials or insufficient light on the area viewed by the camera(s); <br />d. Trouble due to interruption of Telecom Service; <br />e. Battery failure; <br />f. Devices designed to fail in protecting the Customer’s systems, <br />such as, but not limited to, fuses and circuit breakers; or <br />g. Changes to the Customer’s system requested by Customer. <br /> <br />If Customer requests service under the Warranty and Brady’s <br />representative finds that one of the “Conditions” has led to the <br />inoperability or apparent inoperability of the Customer’s system, or <br />any component, Brady may bill Customer for the service call <br />whether or not Brady actually works on the Customer’s system. If <br />repairs are required due to one of the above “Conditions,” Brady will <br />charge Customer for such work on a time and materials basis at <br />Brady’s then applicable rates for labor and materials. <br /> <br />14. Non-solicitation of Employees <br /> <br />Each Party acknowledges that the other Party has expended <br />significant time, effort and expense in the hiring, training, and <br />retention of its employees in conjunction with providing specialized <br />services, such as those provided in this Agreement, and therefore <br />shall not, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one <br />year thereafter, either directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or <br />employ any current or former employee of the other within one year <br />of such termination of employment date, with whom such Party has <br />had any contact during the course of this Agreement. <br /> <br />15. Additional Services <br /> <br />Service fees are premised on the equipment being in operable and <br />maintainable condition. If an inspection by Brady prior to or during <br />the performance of services reveals that additional services or <br />repairs are necessary, outside the scope of this Agreement, Brady <br />shall notify Customer. <br /> <br />Customer may instruct Brady to perform such repairs in writing, and <br />Brady shall perform those services or repairs at the currently <br />established rates (including rates reflecting overtime labor costs for <br />services provided outside normal business hours).
