If your passcode is not provided by the individual answering the call to the central station operator, the AHJ will be dispatched and the central station operator will then use reasonable efforts to contact additional persons on your contact list. Some, but not all systems, may allow for timely disarming of the system before the AHJ is dispatched, and if the case, the alarm panel will send a "cancel" signal after the alarm was triggered. Company does not consider untimely "cancel" signals as valid cancellation of an alarm condition received by the central station operator. In such event, a verbal passcode will be required in order for the central station operator to attempt to cancel the dispatch. YOU acknowledge that whether or not a dispatch may be cancelled is at the sole discretion of the AHJ and agree not to hold Company responsible in any way for such dispatch and any consequences from the dispatch. The central station will comply with applicable ordinances that may differ from provision of the "verified response" described above only if provided in writing to Company by YOU. YOU assume all responsibility for any consequences resulting from your making any changes to the verified response procedure and YOU are responsible for ensuring that all information given to Company is current and in compliance with any local or other laws, regulations, ordinances or codes.
