2. THE PERMACONN SYSTEM

2.1 The Permaconn System is designed to reduce the risks of loss or damage to the End User’s property or the property of others located on the End User’s premises utilising the Permaconn System. However, RDCCO Pty Ltd does not guarantee that the Permaconn System cannot be removed, tampered with or made to stop working by the End User or the Customer or by any unauthorised person, that particular losses or injuries will be prevented by using the Permaconn System, that the Permaconn System will work continuously and without errors, including where interruptions or errors are due to something beyond RDCCO Pty Ltd’s reasonable control or that the Permaconn System, like all mechanical and electronic devices will not develop faults.

2.2 The Customer and End User agree that use of the Atlas Web Platform, Rapidlink Cloud Portal and Pocket Secure as part of the Permaconn System is at their own risk. The display of events or actions at the End User's premises on the Atlas Web Platform is indicative only and RDCCO Pty Ltd does not warrant or guarantee the actual occurrence of any events or actions displayed on the Atlas Web Platform.

2.3 RDCCO Pty Ltd does not know the value of the End User’s personal safety, premises or its contents or the property of others located on the End User’s premises and the Customer’s liability to the End User. The purpose of this agreement is not to act as insurer for the Customer in respect of the End User’s personal safety, premises or its contents or the property of others located on the End User’s premises or for any loss, claim or liability which the Customer may suffer pursuant to providing the Permaconn System to the End User.

2.4 The amount paid under this agreement is based upon the services RDCCO Pty Ltd performs and the limited liability RDCCO Pty Ltd assumes under this agreement, and is unrelated to the value of the End User’s property or the property of others located on the End User’s premises or for any loss, claim or liability which the Customer may suffer pursuant to providing the Permaconn System to the End User. Subject to the provisions of this agreement and to the maximum extent allowed by law, in the event of any loss or injury to any person or property, the Customer agrees to look exclusively to its insurer to recover damages and waives all subrogation and other rights of recovery against RDCCO Pty Ltd that any insurer or other person may have as a result of paying any such claim, loss, liability or injury.

2.5 The Permaconn System may contain software which is owned by third parties or is open source, and licensed under separate third party terms. Where this is the case, such software is only procured by RDCCO Pty Ltd on the Customer’s behalf, and the use of such software is governed by those third party terms and not the terms of this Agreement. Those third party terms may be notified upon installation, use or activation of the software, or set out or referred to in any documentation provided by RDCCO Pty Ltd. Prior to using any such software, the Customer may review the third party terms, and if they are unsatisfactory to the Customer it must not use the software, and may terminate this agreement by notifying RDCCO Ptd Ltd accordingly, and upon delivering the Permaconn System to RDCCO Pty Ltd as required by clause 7.2.2 will receive a refund of any amounts already paid to RDCCO Pty Ltd. By using the relevant software, the Customer will be deemed to have accepted any such third party terms.
