The operation of a local alarm system is not intended to, nor will it, create a contract, duty or obligation, either expressed or implied, of response. Any and all liability and consequential damage resulting from the failure to respond to a notification is hereby disclaimed and governmental immunity as provided by law is retained. The alarm user acknowledges that emergency response may be influenced by factors such as: the availability of units, priority of calls, weather conditions, traffic conditions, emergency conditions, staffing levels and prior response history.
