One-Time Installation Agreement Terms and Conditions
The Client agrees to purchase and Sunco Communication and Installation Ltd. (Sunco) agrees to sell the equipment and services detailed in this Agreement (the “Equipment”) under the Terms and Conditions set out herein (the “Purchase Terms”).
1.Non-Cancellable Contract: Orders for Equipment are non-cancellable. Orders may only be cancelled or deliveries deferred if The Client immediately assumes liability and makes all payments to Sunco for: (a) all equipment that has been ordered and received by Sunco from the equipment manufacturer for the contracted sale; (b) all work completed at the unit price; (c) work in progress on the basis of the percentage of completion thereof times the order unit price; (d) raw material, unamortized tooling, engineering and other cancellation charges incurred on the basis of cost to Sunco, plus handling and overhead charges. Cancellation charges (including, without limitation, deposit adjustments) relating to orders for Equipment shall be determined at the time of cancellation or deferment. All requests for cancellations must be received in writing within 30 days of the Acceptance Date (signing date) and must be approved by Sunco. In the event that any of the aforementioned cancellation charges are applicable, Sunco shall provide an invoice to The Client and The Client shall remit such charges to Sunco forthwith.
2. Equipment: The Equipment shall be located and used only at the equipment location designated by the parties in writing (the “Equipment Location”). The Client shall cause the Equipment to be operated in compliance with the general operating specifications and standards of the manufacturer, and all applicable laws. Title to the equipment shall remain with Sunco until payment in full has been received. Accordingly, The Client shall not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the equipment until it has made payment in full to Sunco. At all times, The Client will use the Equipment only in the manner for which it is designed and as a prudent and careful owner would.
3. Labour Warranty: Sunco shall provide a labour warranty for 90 days following the Cutover Date. “Cutover Date” means the date on which the Equipment is connected to telephone carrier lines and becomes operational. Sunco shall provide all parts and equipment modifications which Sunco deems necessary to maintain the Equipment in good operating condition for a one-year period following the Cutover Date (the “Warranty Period”). Thereafter, Sunco shall only be obliged as identified in the separate and stand-alone “Managed Service Agreement,” where applicable, and if agreed to by The Client.
4. Limited Warranty: Subject to compliance by The Client with its obligations hereunder, Sunco warrants, for a period of one year, unless otherwise stated, from the Cutover Date, each item of Equipment, including attachments, replacements or upgrades in the future (the “Future Property”), to be free from defects in material or workmanship. This warranty does not extend and shall not apply to any item of Equipment which has been misused, neglected, or damaged in an accident, fire or other casualty, damaged by fluctuating line voltage, or faults on any telephone line installed, repaired or altered by anyone other than Sunco, combined with other equipment not previously approved by or supplied by Sunco for such purpose, damaged by failure to provide proper operating conditions or a failure to follow Sunco’s instructions, or removed from the Equipment Location. Subject to availability, Sunco shall have the right to substitute any internal parts with ‘as new’ items of the same specifications. In the case of such substitution, Sunco warrants that such items shall be extended the same warranty coverage as any other new item of the same specification.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR COLLATERAL, RELATING TO THE EQUIPMENT OR THE INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL SUNCO BE LIABLE TO THE CLIENT FOR DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SALE, USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT. THE CLIENT’S SOLE REMEDY FOR A BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT BY SUNCO OF THE EQUIPMENT.
Sunco is relieved from its obligations to perform pursuant to the warranty during any period when The Client is in default of payment or any other obligation under this Agreement.
5. Software License: Software is licensed on an “as is” basis.

If required by such suppliers, The Client shall sign software license agreements with such suppliers in the form required by them.
6. Equipment Location: The Client shall provide proper installation and operating conditions for the Equipment (including adequate equipment room and electric power feed) pursuant to Sunco’s specifications. The Purchase Price is based on information provided by The Client. The Client shall pay, in addition to Purchase Price, the cost of hosting, electric feed wiring, fire retardant cable and conduit, explosion proof speakers, building alterations, climate modification and other equipment or labour necessitated by The Client’s needs if such equipment, services or needs are not set out herein.
7. Installation: Sunco shall begin installing the Equipment at the Equipment Location before the estimated Cutover Date and continue installation in an expeditious manner so long as The Client makes progress payments as called for by the Payment Terms and is not otherwise in default. The Client acknowledges that it may be necessary to perform Equipment installation in multiple stages. If such staging is required, The Client further agrees and acknowledges that each stage may be accepted as a complete agreement, that all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall become applicable as if a complete agreement, and The Client will take title to any and all Equipment, upon payment to Sunco as per the terms and conditions herein agreed.
The Client shall, at its expense, provide Sunco with access to the Equipment Location for purposes of installation and otherwise co-operate with Sunco and prepare the Equipment Location in such a manner as to facilitate such installation.
