Resident acknowledges receipt of such, that it has had opportunity to review the Privacy Policy and that it accepts the terms thereof.
  4. Bulk Wi-Fi. Management and Owner will be providing, as an amenity at the Community, Wi-Fi services for its residents. To provide this amenity routers must be installed in the units at the Community. Cox Communications will be the responsible entity for inspecting units at the Community and determining what, if any, additional equipment or upgrades to existing equipment will be needed for the installation of the Wi-Fi services contemplated by this Addendum. Resident consents to Cox Communications' entry into the leased premises for the purpose of inspecting existing telecommunications equipment and installing and/or maintaining any router or other necessary telecommunications equipment. For purposes related to the operation, testing, and maintenance of any Resident's Smart Home Equipment, Resident hereby expressly agrees and consents to Management and its authorized agents, connecting to and/or accessing any Wi-Fi router(s) located in any unit. Accordingly, Resident shall provide any unit Wi-Fi passwords and/or Wi-Fi configurations to Management upon request for such purposes. Resident further agrees to implement sufficient safeguards with regard to the protection from disclosure of any confidential, sensitive, personal, or proprietary information related to Resident's electronically stored information ("ESI") accessible through any Wi-Fi and/or the cloud to prevent inadvertent disclosures to any person or entity including, but not limited to, password protecting the ESI. The connections to and/or accessing of a unit's Wi-Fi router(s) shall be for the purposes of operating the smart home system and maximizing a unit resident's enjoyment and utilization of the smart home system's features.
  1. Limitation of Liability. Except as provided for or limited by applicable law neither Management nor Owner shall not be liable for any failures of Smart Home Equipment. The parties agree that neither Owner nor Managing shall be liable for any damages (actual, consequential, or otherwise) related to the use, inability to use, failure, suspension, or any other related issues regarding the Smart Home Equipment. It is acknowledged and agreed that neither Management nor Owner represents or warrants that the Smart Home Equipment technology works, will always work, or will work as anticipated. It is further agreed that none of the Smart Home Equipment features are intended to safeguard resident or otherwise provide any assurance of safety. Resident shall solely be responsible for ensuring its safety in the leased premises and shall not rely on any of the Smart Home Equipment top replace ordinary care and diligence. Management's and Owner's sole responsibility shall be to work as a conduit for resolution of any problems with the Smart Home Equipment.
