The contact details of the AJAX Customer Service cannot be considered a rescue solution for any persons at risk at any facility where the Product is installed and/or used, and AJAX Customer Service shall not be a suitable replacement for any emergency response services. Any life-threatening or emergency situations should be reported to the appropriate response services in your country.

AJAX shall not accept any responsibility for any actions or inactions of any third party providing emergency response services.

Restrictions on the use of CCTV cameras: Recordings from video surveillance cameras (both Ajax brand and third-party manufacturers) when used with the Ajax Software are stored by default on the camera’s internal storage with access to them exclusively by the end user. When using video surveillance cameras, you, as an end user, can grant account administration rights to third parties, such as installers, security companies, etc.

Granting account administration rights to third parties, in particular, provides such third parties with access to video recordings and broadcasts from video surveillance cameras. By granting access to the data from CCTV cameras, you confirm that you fully understand and accept all responsibility for the transfer of administration rights to third parties. You agree that AJAX is not responsible for the actions or omissions of third parties, including the unlawful or unethical use of data from video surveillance cameras by third parties and their consequences.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in addition to the above liability, AJAX shall disclaim and exclude for itself and its suppliers any liability based on a contract, any violation of law (including negligence and direct liability), or otherwise for any direct, indirect, special, or punitive damages of any kind, any loss of income or profit, loss of business, loss of any information or data, or any other damages resulting from or in connection with any sale, installation, maintenance, use, operation, failure, or interruption of the Software or the Products, even if AJAX or its suppliers have been aware of the possibility of such damages.
