5 <br /> <br />Customer’s exclusive remedy and Brady’s exclusive liability <br />under this Agreement or otherwise (including negligence) shall <br />be for direct damages, which shall in no event exceed so <br />much of the purchase price as is applicable to the portion of <br />the particular services with respect to which damages are <br />claimed. In no event shall Brady be liable to Customer, nor <br />shall Brady have any obligation to indemnify Customer, for any <br />other loss or damage, or for any incidental, special or <br />consequential damages of any kind, or for the loss of use of <br />Customer's facilities, its loss of revenue, or for any similar or <br />dissimilar consequential damages with regard to the operation, <br />non-operation or failure of the equipment, or damage to <br />property or other injury arising from this Agreement. This <br />exclusion applies regardless of whether such damages or <br />indemnification are sought based on breach of warranty, <br />breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort, or any <br />other legal theory. <br /> <br />In no event shall Brady be liable for any damages (whether <br />direct or indirect) resulting from hazardous materials, mold, <br />fungus, bacteria, microbial growth, or other contaminates or <br />airborne biological agents. Additionally, Brady shall not be <br />liable for any damages (whether direct or indirect) resulting <br />from work performed on boiler systems where in the Customer <br />has permitted untrained personnel to perform services and <br />adjustments on the boiler systems, or on systems where <br />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 />If Brady is found liable for loss, damage or injury under any <br />legal theory due to a failure of the Customer’s services, <br />system or equipment in any respect, its liability shall be limited <br />to a sum equal to 10% of the Annual Service Charge or <br />$1,000, whichever is greater, as agreed upon damages and <br />not as a penalty, as Customer's sole remedy. The provisions <br />of this Section shall apply no matter how the loss, damage or <br />injury or other consequence occurs, even if due to Brady's <br />performance or non-performance of its obligations under this <br />Agreement or from negligence, active or otherwise, strict <br />liability, violation of any applicable consumer protection law or <br />any other alleged fault on the part of Brady, its agents or <br />employees. If any other person, including Customer's <br />subrogating insurer, makes any claim or files any lawsuit <br />against Brady in any way relating to the services, system or <br />equipment that are the subjects of this Agreement then <br />Customer shall indemnify and hold Brady harmless from any <br />and all such claims and lawsuits including the payment of all <br />damages, expenses, costs and attorneys' fees. <br /> <br />11. 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 <br />the loss, injury or damage occurred, or the shortest duration <br />permitted under applicable law if such period is greater than <br />one year. The provisions of this section shall apply to and <br />benefit Brady and its agents, employees, contractors, <br />subsidiaries, affiliates, and vendors. If this Agreement provides <br />for a direct connection to a municipal police or fire department <br />or other organization, then that department or other <br />organization may also invoke the provisions of this section <br />against any claims due to any failure of such department or <br />organization. Brady is not responsible for the preservation of <br />any computer programs or data and Customer is responsible <br />for maintaining adequate back-ups. <br /> <br />12. Warranty <br /> <br />Brady’s warranty with respect to manufactured material <br />supplied is limited to the manufacturer’s warranty (if any). In no <br />event shall Brady be liable to Customer for any breach of the <br />manufacturer’s warranty or for any consequential or special <br />damages or for transportation or other expenses, which may <br />arise in connection 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 <br />90 days from completion and Brady’s obligation under this <br />warranty is limited to correcting any improperly performed <br />labor. In no event shall Brady be liable to Customer for any <br />breach of the labor warranty or for any consequential or <br />special damages or for other expenses, which may arise in <br />connection with any improperly performed labor. <br /> <br />Brady makes no warranty with respect to systems <br />performance or emissions readings between preventive <br />maintenance inspections and exhaust gas analysis. <br />Additionally, Brady makes no warranty or representation with <br />respect to work performed on systems where in the Customer <br />has permitted untrained personnel to perform services and <br />adjustments on the boiler systems, or on systems where <br />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 <br />ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR <br />IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF <br />MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR <br />PURPOSE. <br /> <br />13. Exceptions to Warranty <br /> <br />The following “Conditions” are not covered by Brady’s <br />warranty: <br />a. Damage or extra service needed as the result of <br />accidents, acts of God, lightning, strikes, riots, floods, <br />terrorism, acts of war, alteration, misuse, tampering or abuse, <br />adjustments, repairs or maintenance not done by Brady or <br />from parts, accessories, attachments or other devices not <br />furnished by Brady; <br />b. Customer's failure to properly follow operating <br />instructions provided by Brady; <br />c. Adjustments necessitated by misalignment of video <br />cameras, improper adjustment of monitor brightness and <br />contrast tuning dials or insufficient light on the area viewed by <br />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 <br />systems, such as, but not limited to, fuses and circuit breakers; <br />or <br />g. Changes to the Customer’s system requested by <br />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 <br />system, or any component, Brady may bill Customer for the <br />service call whether or not Brady actually works on the <br />Customer’s system. If repairs are required due to one of the <br />above “Conditions,” Brady will charge Customer for such work <br />on a time and materials basis at Brady’s then applicable rates <br />for labor and materials. <br /> <br />14.
