56. The Company accepts no liability following any loss, damage or injury caused by delays in installing the System or Signalling Equipment or any effective connection thereof.

57. No responsibility is accepted by the Company for any loss, damage or injury arising from the failure of the Security System to transmit an activation eligible for Police or Fire Authority attendance or for the activation to be categorised as eligible for Police or Fire Authority

63. Any such termination withdrawal or suspension of services or obligations arising under this Agreement as may occur by virtue of these provisions shall be without prejudice to the Company’s right to reclaim any payment due from the Customer to the Company together with interest thereon (both after as well as before Judgement) at the rate of 3% above HSBC base rate from time to time applying.

associated invoice.

d. Where an existing agreement term is due to expire during the period of cover, or where no antecedent agreement applies, you agree for these Terms and Conditions to be applied consecutively and successively from the date when the antecedent agreement expires, or from the start of the period of cover (whichever is the latter) until the end of the period of cover.
