By using our Services, Customer expressly accepts and agrees to this Agreement and consent to contract with LiveControl electronically. If Customer does not agree with this Agreement, Customer may not use the Services. There shall be no force or effect to any different terms of any related purchase order or similar form even if signed by the parties after the date hereof, unless such order or form expressly states it prevails over this Agreement and is mutually executed by the parties. The Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. SERVICE; EQUIPMENT; SUPPORT
1.1 Service. Subject to Customer’s compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, LiveControl grants Customer the right to access and use the services specified in each Quote (collectively, “Service,” or “Services”) solely for the Site during the applicable Service Term (as defined below) for sole benefit of Customer, only as provided herein and only in accordance with applicable documentation provided by LiveControl. The Service is subject to modification, restriction, or suspension from time to time at LiveControl’s sole discretion, for any purpose deemed appropriate by LiveControl. “Site” shall mean the location(s) selected by Customer as set forth on a Quote to which Service will be delivered.
1.2 Support. Subject to the terms hereof (including payment of all applicable fees), LiveControl will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to provide technical support and maintenance services of the LiveControl provided equipment (“Support”). During Produced Events (as defined below), LiveControl agrees to provide one (1) LiveControl representative to remotely operate the Equipment per event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LiveControl reserves the right to suspend Customer’s access to the Services: (i) for scheduled or emergency maintenance, or (ii) in the event Customer is in breach of this Agreement, including failure to pay any amounts due to LiveControl.
1.3 Professional Services. Subject to the terms hereof, LiveControl agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to connect Customer with a vendor from a preferred network of approved vendors for standard installation and implementation assistance for the Services only if and to the extent such assistance is set forth on such Quote. LiveControl shall not be held liable for any actions or services provided by third-party installers. Customer acknowledges that they are not required to utilize LiveControl’s approved vendors, but in doing so, the Customer may incur additional fees. Please see Exhibit A for additional information for standard installation.
2. USE RESTRICTIONS AND CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

(a) Indemnification Scope.

(c) Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LiveControl will have no obligation with respect to any infringement claim based upon (a) any use of the Service that is not in accordance with this Agreement or the corresponding documentation; (b) any use of the Service in combination with other products, equipment, software, or data not supplied by LiveControl if such infringement would not have arisen but for such combination; or (c) any modification of the Service by any person other than LiveControl where such infringement would not have occurred absent such modification.

10.3 Indemnification Procedures. The Party seeking indemnification hereunder must notify the indemnifying party in writing, promptly after receipt of actual notice of any Claim for which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, any such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to notify. The indemnifying party shall have sole control and authority with respect to the defense, litigation, compromise or settlement of such Claim (except to the extent that any settlement involves material commitments, responsibilities or obligations on the part of the indemnified party, in which case such settlement shall require the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld). The indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. The indemnified party shall provide reasonable information, cooperation and assistance as required by the indemnifying party (at the indemnifying party's expense). The indemnified party reserves the right to participate at its own cost in any proceedings with counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, the indemnified party shall at all times be subject to the indemnifying party's sole control and authority with respect to defending, litigating or settling the Claim.

- Each camera must be within 150 feet of the equipment location
- Company requires an internet connection for the ability to stream. Ideally, this cable should be directly connected to the Customer's modem. Company’s installer will run a CAT6 cable from the provided router to Customer’s modem at a maximum of 200-feet. If there is an existing internet jack or port in the equipment location, this can be used as well, as long as it provides reliable access to the internet. WIFI cannot be used, a wired connection is required.

B). A member of Customer’s technical team who is in charge of your audio equipment C). A member of Customer’s technical team who works with, or is familiar with, the location’s ISP to ensure that the network is configured properly

Claims against the 3rd party installer must be filed within 30 days of installation to be valid. After those 30 days, Company no longer accepts any liability.
- Cameras must be installed on a permanent surface. The Customer is responsible to provide the proper location (i.e. wall, columns, pipes) for the cameras to be mounted ahead of installation. If the Customer is not able to provide a permanent surface for installation, the Customer will be responsible for the costs to install the proper mounting locations, in addition to the existing installation costs. If the Customer is not able to provide a permanent surface for installation, the Customer takes all responsibility for any damage done if mounting fails (i.e. property and personal injury).
- Any additional charges from our installation team (i.e. canceled visit fees), the Customer is responsible for the full cost.
- If Customer does self-installation or does not use the recommended installer provided by the Company, the Customer takes full responsibility for the equipment and any personal liability.

- The original installation is approved by the Customer automatically after 30 days unless communicated in writing to the Company. Any changes from the original installation will be funded by the Customer completely and the Company has no obligation to pay for reinstallation after the original installation.
