1. It is the sole responsibility of the Member to verify and ensure proper compatibility of their requested GenerLink device to operate with their generator. Upon completion of the installation of the GenerLink device, all sales are final.  

1. Because the integrity and accuracy of SECO Energy billing meter equipment must be maintained, SECO Energy shall have the right to interrupt the metering circuit and temporarily remove the GenerLink device to perform any tests or maintenance it determines necessary on its billing meter or related equipment. The Member also grants SECO Energy the right to disconnect the generator and ‘lock out’ the GenerLink device at any time the Utility determines there is a potential hazard. 

1. The Member understands and agrees that once the GenerLink device is installed, it is the only safe and allowable method for connecting a generator to the home. As a user of GenerLink, the Member further agrees to follow the GenerLink Start-Up Procedure provided in the Operating Manual. At all times, the GenerLink device shall be used solely for the purpose intended, in accordance with the Instructions and ‘Safety Tips’ contained in the Operating Manual. 

1. The GenerLink device must be installed by an approved installer and may not be removed or modified by anyone other than an approved installer. An approved installer is defined as a technician approved by your local electric utility (“Utility”). SECO Energy technicians are the only approved installers. The Member understands that any installation, removal, or modification by anyone other than an approved technician is dangerous and is expressly prohibited under the terms of this agreement. If the GenerLink device requires inspection, removal, repair, or replacement, the Member must contact SECO Energy to request that the GenerLink device be removed. 

1. The Member agrees to hold harmless and indemnify SECO Energy from any and all liability, claims or demands for the damage to property or injury or death to persons which may arise out of or be caused in any manner by any incident or occurrence involving the supplying of services under this Agreement.

Written notice of any defects or concerns with the operation of the GenerLink device must be received within forty-five (45) days from the installation date of the GenerLink device by Global Power Products at 225 Arnold Road, Lawrenceville, GA 30044, specifying any defects, or it shall be conclusively presumed that the Member has accepted the GenerLink device and found it to be in good operating condition and repair. This provision shall not be applicable to latent defects of which the Member could not reasonably be aware. 

 

1. Warranties are provided by the manufacturer, and all claims must be processed by Global Power Products, Inc. (1-800-886-3837). The member shall hold SECO Energy harmless from any liability in connection with the operation, service, and installation of the GenerLink system.

The total liability of SECO Energy and its affiliated companies arising from any form or case of action shall not exceed the purchase price.
