 Question

*********************

Ken,

We are in the process of changing our contract and trying to go digital at the same time.  We purchased your All in One contract along with some others.  

I noticed that another security company emails its agreement and at the time of installation/connection they get the customer to sign a "Acceptance of Agreement."  Also, in the first section of the agreement it states that

 

"1. Acceptance of this Agreement; Term.  You will have accepted this Agreement and be bound by its terms upon the earlier of (a) your signature on the Work Order and the Acceptance, (b) your acknowledgment or acceptance of this Agreement electronically  (c) the effective date of any installation or take over of the System as provided in Sections 2 and 3 below, or (d) your use of the Services"

 

Basically, could we,  before installation,  email the All in One agreement to the customer and have them sign an "Acceptance of Agreement" at time of service?

Would the customer then be legally bound by the agreement?

Thanks!

Answer

*********************

I do not favor the above procedure, nor do I think it likely that the court would enforce the contract terms based on signing a separate acceptance of agreement.

A number of issues come to mind.  Almost all jurisdictions require that consumer contracts be presented to the consumer at time of sale, and that a fully executed copy be provided to the consumer.  There is a three day notice of cancellation.  

There seems no reason why the All in One is not being signed by the consumer and returned to the alarm co.  If no part of the sale took place at the residence then no three day notice is required.  Although it is certainly possible to have agreements in separate documents I think you are leaving room for confusion.  I also don't think you can present a contract to a consumer, or commercial account for that matter, and by including a provision that permitting the work constitutes acceptance of the contract terms, bind the subscriber to the contract terms.  

There are acceptable ways to use printed and digital contracts.  Don't try banging a square peg into a round hole.

Question - is receiver your subscriber

***********************

Hi Ken,

Is there a problem with addressing a Service Contract to "John Doe, As Receiver for ABC Street Holding Co. LLC"? 

Lisa  A. Augello, Service Manager

AFEC GUARDIAN FIRE PROTECTION, INC.

Freeport, NY 

********************

Answer

********************

That would be a proper way to name the subscriber.  You should note however that your subscriber is the Receiver, and you can look only to the receivership estate for payment.  You need to be certain that the receiver will have the funds to pay you.  This is not a personal obligation of the receiver and if there are insufficient funds to pay expenses you will get stuck.  You can ask for whats called a Receiver's Certificate, which essentially is his commitment to pay you before terminating the receivership, but the receiver still has to have money in the estate.  You can ask that the party who asked for the receiver's appointment agree that you get paid out of the sale proceeds before the secured creditor.

Comments on choosing your words correctly from March 27, 2013 article

*********************

Ken:

Thanks for your daily emails. They're a great source of knowledge (and sometimes humor). Regarding the words Insure vs. Ensure, I would not be comfortable Insuring anything.

Insuring implies that there is some means of protection in place for future events. We take insurance out to protect us against a future catastrophy. Regardless of any particular dictionary's meaning, there is still human reaction and interpretation. To me, as a layperson in law, Ensure seems better, but I don't think either term is correct. Verify would sit better with me, again not as a lawyer. It implies nothing in the future, only the time of testing.

Just my opinion.

Ken

Verify or Confirm  In the context of the sentence, " will make an annual inspection of the security system. Inspection service includes testing of all components to insure proper working order."

Does the inspection include replacing Batteries, if so then the Tech is Insuring proper working order.

The Technician is testing a “System” he is “verifying” it by Visual and Function testing. He is Not insuring function, that is the Installers job. If the Inspecting Tech repairs the “System”, due to failed Tests, then the Tech is insuring “System” function Gotta love the ENGLISH language Insure or ensure It depends

Comment on unlicensed contractors from March 26, 2013 article

*********************

Ken –

The annoying part of the licensing law is that (1) nobody seems to be enforcing it and (2) more and more computer guys are servicing and selling security. I ran into two computer companies last week that do access control and surveillance and are not licensed.

I guess the same can be said for driving a motor vehicle without a license… Most people obey the laws...
