Telco / Long Distance Carrier Charges and Services:

The Federal Communications Commissions in Part 68 regulations, defines that a connectorized type of demarcation (jack) will be provided to separate the purchased privately-owned system from the utility company outside lines.  Cady Business Technologies, as a courtesy, will fill out all of the necessary documents to order the proper interface jack to connect with the system in this Agreement and gives Cady Business technologies express permission to order this jack on buyer’s behalf with the understanding that all such charges associated with this jack’s installation are to be borne by the buyer.  Such charges are filed in public tariff filings with the Public Service Commission by the local serving utility company.  In addition, Cady Business Technologies will, at the buyer’s request and authorization act as a liaison between the local telco and/or long distance providers for the expressed purpose of “coordinating” the removal, addition, or relocation of telephone lines, circuits, or services thereof as disclosed to Cady Business Technologies.  The re-occurring billing and the accuracy of such billing from those vendors remain the sole responsibility of the buyer and not Cady Business Technologies.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to provide suitable electrical power receptacles and circuits to provide power for the equipment listed in this agreement.  If a new circuit or receptacle is being installed to accommodate the equipment in this Agreement, it is the buyer’s responsibility to certify through his licensed electrical contractor that the circuit provided is of the proper voltage and current-carrying capacity.  Cady Business Technologies is not responsible for checking AC power circuits to certify their correctness.

Any charges for damage which results from our connection to improperly supplied circuit voltages, connections, or inadequate grounding will be the responsibility of the buyer.  The buyer is additionally advised that computerized telephone systems may be sensitive to electrical noise which is carried along the power circuits into the telephone switching equipment.  If circuits separate from those which possess noise, or if filters are required, it will be the responsibility of the buyer to pay for such circuits and filters as may be required.

Other Circuits:

Conduit:

In the event the system is to be installed in a building with a plenum ceiling, the buyer agrees to pay the added cost of using Teflon or code approved cable if such provision is not clearly stated as part of the agreed system configuration.  The requirement or non-requirement of Teflon cable is defined by Minnesota Fire Safety codes.
