Warranty and Remedies

ATS warrants that all services provided hereunder or pursuant to a Schedule hereunder will be performed in accordance with generally accepted industry practices by a trained staff capable of rendering the services. ATS does not warrant that Customer’s equipment will be free of down time or other malfunctions; nor does ATS warrant that all malfunctions can or will be identified or predicted in advance or prevented. ATS warrants sensors it provides and installs for the duration of the applicable Schedule; however, Customer is fully responsible for ensuring gateway/non-interference with radio/cellular signal. Satisfaction of the above warranty will be limited, at ATS’ option, to the reperformance of any unsatisfactory services, replacement of any faulty sensors, or issuance of a credit for the purchase price of the services involved. Warranty satisfaction is available only if ATS’ examination discloses, to its reasonable satisfaction, that any alleged defect has not been caused by misuse; neglect; alteration or modification; accident; or unusual deterioration or degradation of the parts thereof due to physical environment or electrical or electromagnetic noise environment. Any technical advice furnished or recommendation made by ATS or any employee or representative of ATS concerning the Services furnished hereunder is believed to be reliable; but ATS makes no warranty, express or implied, of results to be obtained. Customer assumes all responsibility for loss or damage resulting from the application of such technical advice. Customer specifically waives and releases ATS from any and all damages, liabilities, claims, costs, and expenses that may arise based on malfunction or failure of any sensors or enabling software, or failure of ATS to predict or prevent any malfunctions, breakdown, or damage through the use of sensors and sensor technology except to the extent resulting from ATS’ gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR USE, OR PERFORMANCE OR APPLICATION WARRANTIES ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED. ANY WARRANTIES PROVIDED UNDER THIS CONTRACT ARE AVAILABLE ONLY TO THE CUSTOMER AND DO NOT EXTEND TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

Indemnity

Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold ATS, its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, loss, damage, cost, and expense of whatsoever nature, including attorney’s fees, arising from, resulting from, or in any way connected with Customer or Customer’s agent’s negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of any law or regulation.

Limits of Liability

In no event will ATS be liable for incidental, indirect or consequential damages of any kind, whether or not foreseeable. ATS’ maximum cumulative liability relative to all claims and liabilities, including that with respect to direct damages and obligations under any indemnity, whether or not insured, will not exceed the fees paid by Customer to ATS over the previous twelve (12) month period under the applicable Schedule or Notice of Enrollment. These disclaimers and limitations of liability will apply regardless of any other contrary provision of these Terms and Conditions or related agreement between the Parties and regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, and further will extend to the benefit of ATS’ vendors, appointed distributors and other authorized resellers as third-party beneficiaries. Each provision in this Contract, any Schedule, Notice of Enrollment, or other related agreement between the Parties which provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranty or condition, or exclusion of damages is severable and independent of any other provision and is to be enforced as such.
