Upon the request of NET NV during regular business hours at a time agreed upon by Customer and NET NV, Customer will permit NET NV and its agents, to access the Premises to remove all Net NV Equipment and other material provided by NET NV.
11.SURVIVAL
11.1. Survival. The Parties’ respective representations, warranties, and covenants, together with obligations of indemnification, confidentiality and limitations on liability will survive the expiration, termination or rescission of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect.
12. LANDLORD APPROVAL
12.1. Landlord Approval. If Customer does not own the residence or commercial building in which the NET NV Service will be installed, Customer promises to obtain landlord or property owner approval prior to any installation.
12.2. NOTICE. NET NV expressly notifies Customer that Landlord or owner approval is often required for leases and rental agreements, especially those related to multi-tenant apartment buildings. By signing this Master Service Agreement, Customer acknowledges this Notice and hereby assumes a duty to review any agreement, including but not limited to any lease or rental agreements, and laws related or relevant to Customer’s possession of the Premises to ensure Customer complies with all obligations prior to authorizing Net NV Service installation.
12.3. Modification to the Premises. As authorized by Section 3 herein, Customer understands that installation of NET NV Service may involve modifications to the premises (the “Property”). While these modifications are often minor, standard professional installation many times includes drilling holes in order to run cable and attach equipment securely to the outside of the structure. It is Customer’s duty and obligation to review and understand the terms of Customer’s lease or rental agreement, if any, to ensure that such modifications are not prohibited by any such lease or rental agreement. Customer agrees to complete any and all conditions and obligations under such lease or rental agreement prior to authorizing NET NV Service installation.
12.4. Access to the Premises. As part of NET NV’s Internet Service, NET NV will install certain networking and telecommunications equipment and facilities, including but not limited to, antennae, cabling, electrical boxes, poles, and other radio equipment (collectively, the “Equipment”). Customer expressly grants NET NV or its third-party contractors permission to enter the Premises, including the rooftop, for the purposes of installing, operating, repairing, maintaining, or modifying the Equipment as reasonably necessary to make available for purchase the Internet Services provided by NET NV to NET NV’s customers. NET NV uses certain Equipment that may serve as an Access Point for nearby NET NV customers. By executing this Agreement, Customer acknowledges and agrees that NET NV’s permitted access to the Premises includes access to perform work, including but not limited to operating, repairing, maintaining, or modifying, the Equipment as reasonably necessary for the benefit of NET NV’s customers who may utilize the Equipment. Net NV agrees to remove the equipment from the Property within one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving written notice from Customer to help@netnv.net.
12.5. Indemnification and Release of Liability for Violation of Lease or Rental Agreement. Customer hereby releases NET NV (including any installation technician or third-party contractor) from any liability related to damages Customer and/or Customer’s landlord or Premises owner may claim as a result of an alleged violation of Customer’s lease or rental agreement as it relates to the installation of NET NV Services. Customer agrees that the Indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8 herein apply to any claims, suits, judgements, and causes of action arising out of any alleged violation of Customer’s rental or lease agreement as a result of NET NV’s Service.
12.6. Installation. Should Customer’s landlord only approve the NET NV Service installation subject to special requirements that make the actual install more expensive (or exceeds what NET NV or its third-party contractors offers as part of its standard professional installation), NET NV may charge Customer a corresponding charge, to be agreed upon by Customer and the NET NV installer, for the additional services. Moreover, Customer understands that technical issues may still prevent installation of the NET NV Service. Though this is rare, challenges such as a poor line of-sight to the NET NV Access Point, or inadequate cable pathways, can prevent installation of the NET NV Service, in which case the NET NV Service will not be installed, and Customer will not be charged.
