I actually found out it was a contract when I contacted them, months later, about cancelling the service. They told me I had signed a contract and that I would have to pay the full term of the contract. The only way to get out of it was to move out of the house.
Well, a year later, when I did move out of the house, they sent me a bill for the full term of the contract, over $1,000. I called and told them I had moved, expecting for them to cancel the bill. Instead, they insisted that I was still responsible to pay the $1,000. When I reminded them that they told me I could get out of the contract if I moved, they basically said I was lying. I am a pastor. I'm not going to lie over $1,000. They threatened to take "legal action," which I assumed was small claims court. I ended up paying the bill just to save myself the hassle.
The receptionist was always sweet, but her supervisor was a real piece of work.
This company is not one you should do business with. Stay away.
"This client signed an agreement with us that clearly stated that the agreement was for a term of 60 months. This was written near the top of this completely legal agreement in the 5th sentence. The monthly amount of this agreement was only 22.95 per month. We assume a great deal of responsibility when we agree to monitor a client’s home for burglary, fire and medical emergencies. Since we don’t charge a large fee when we dispatch a technician to connect a client to our central station, we will actually lose money on the account if the client defaults before the end of the term. If a client wants a shorter agreement we will work with them but we may have to charge a slightly higher monthly fee. No one at our office would have told this client that they had to move out of the house in order to dissolve this agreement. We have no record that this client was ever unhappy with the quality of our service. All we asked for is that this client honor his word and to live up to the agreement that he made with our company. We are always happy to furnish a copy of an agreement if one is requested. In addition, we would be happy to credit this client back for this service if he connects his new home to our central station."
