A false alarm fee is hereby imposed on the responsible party of any alarm system connected to CLWAN, central station or by any other means of notification to reimburse the City for the costs incurred in the response to excessive false alarms. False alarm fees are referenced in Chapter
248, Fines, of the Code of the City of Crystal Lake.
Nothing in this chapter shall constitute a representation or
warranty that the alarm system or the monitoring of the alarm system
will prevent any loss by fire, burglary or otherwise, or that the
system will in all cases provide the protection for which it is installed
or intended. The City makes no representations or warranties, either
express or implied, as to any matter whatsoever, including without
limitation the condition of the equipment, its merchantability or
its fitness for a particular purpose. A subscriber may not rely on
any representation or warranties by the City, express or implied,
and nothing in this chapter or the requirements of this chapter shall
be deemed to create any express or implied warranty.
The City is not an insurer under this chapter and the subscriber
assumes all risk of loss or damage to the subscriber's premises or
contents thereof. The subscriber shall have the right to purchase
whatever insurance the subscriber requires in order to protect its
property and/or person(s) from injury or the commission of any crime.
In addition, this chapter does not create any certainty with regard
to the response time of any fire department or police department should
either or both of these departments be dispatched as a result of a
signal being received by the equipment required by this chapter. Nothing
in this chapter waives or releases any and all statutory or common
law immunities of the City of Crystal Lake which are specifically
reserved.
