2. DANBI IS NOT AN INSURER; CUSTOMER OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE

All on-site service calls, troubleshooting, field repairs, false alarm resets, battery replacements, weather/surge damage repairs, or AHJ compliance re-inspections shall be billed separately at DanBi's standard published time-and-materials rates (including trip fees, labor rates, and replacement parts).
(c) Emergency service dispatches requested outside standard business hours (M-F 8:00 AM โ 5:00 PM) will be billed at DanBi's prevailing emergency overtime rates.

7. TRANSMISSION PATHWAYS AND FORCE MAJEURE
(a) Signal transmission relies on third-party cellular networks, internet service providers (ISPs), and telephone carriers. DanBi is not responsible for signal drops, cellular carrier outages, internet disconnections, line cuts, power surges, or atmospheric interference beyond DanBi's reasonable control.

(c) Early Termination Fee: If Customer terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the initial term without cause, Customer agrees to pay DanBi as liquidated damages an early termination charge equal to 75% of the total remaining monthly monitoring charges for the unexpired balance of the term.
(d) Suspension for Non-Payment: If Customer fails to pay any recurring monthly charge or invoice when due, DanBi reserves the right, upon ten (10) days' written notice, to suspend central station monitoring services and signal transmission.
