Brinks Home Plus Terms
Brinks Home Plus (July 26, 2024-current)

These Brinks Home Plus Extended Service Plan (the “Extended Service Plan”) Terms (“Terms”) govern and describe the hardware maintenance services (“Services”) Brinks Home™ will provide to you for certain qualifying device(s) from manufacturers authorized by Brinks Home (“Covered Devices”). See Exhibit A for a list of the current device categories. Covered device categories and manufacturers are subject to change. References to “you” and “your” are references to the person(s) named as the customer as identified on the alarm monitoring agreement to which these Terms relate. References to “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Brinks Home” refer to BH Security, LLC dba Brinks Home and/or its employees or third party service providers, as the case may be.
2. Eligibility for Extended Service Plan. You must be a current residential customer and up to date on all payments to Brinks Home to receive Services under your Extended Service Plan. The Extended Service Plan does not extend to any subsequent owner or other transferee of the equipment or alarm monitoring services. Other eligibility requirements, including geographic limitations, may apply. Please contact Brinks Home with eligibility questions.
3. Service Fees. The monthly fee for the Extended Service Plan is based on the retail value of all equipment in your System, not including any promotions or discounts, as determined by Brinks Home in its reasonable discretion, and is subject to change in the event additional equipment is subsequently added to your System. After the Initial Term, Brinks Home may increase the monthly fee of your Extended Service Plan not more than once per year (on a rolling twelve (12) month basis) to the then-current monthly fee offered by Brinks Home. You will be required to pay a trip fee for each request for Services you make under your Extended Service Plan that requires a technician be dispatched to your premises to perform Services. This trip fee covers the cost of the initial on-site diagnosis and testing in order to determine what repair/replacement may be needed, as well as the additional time the technician is on-site performing repairs/replacements. Service outside of regular business hours will be charged at a higher rate. Regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays. All charges are due upon completion of the Service visit.
4. When Your Extended Service Plan Begins and Ends. Your Extended Service Plan begins on the date you purchase the Extended Service Plan (a) in conjunction with an alarm monitoring agreement, or (b) on a standalone basis as a current alarm monitoring customer of Brinks Home. This Extended Service Plan supersedes and replaces any prior service or maintenance plan you may have from Brinks Home. The initial term of your Extended Service Plan shall be twelve (12) months (the “Initial Term”) and thereafter automatically renew yearly (each a “Renewal Term”). You authorize Brinks Home to charge the payment method you authorized in conjunction with your alarm monitoring services, as may be updated by you from time to time, until your Extended Service Plan is terminated or cancelled. After the Initial Term, you may cancel your Extended Service Plan by calling Brinks Home and completing Brinks Home’s then-current cancellation procedures. If cancelled, your Extended Service Plan will terminate at the end of the then-current billing period. Extended Service Plan fees and payments are non-refundable.
Brinks Home reserves the right to terminate your Extended Service Plan if you are no longer a customer in good standing with Brinks Home, if you fail to make any payment when due, or if you fail to comply with your obligations set forth Section 10 below. Brinks Home may change the availability and/or terms of this Extended Service Plan at its discretion (and where allowed by law). Any such changes will not apply to service visits under your Extended Service Plan to the extent those service visits were scheduled prior to the changes taking effect.
5. Early Termination. You agree that the fees and charges due under these Terms are based on your agreement to receive and pay for the Services during the Initial Term and that Brinks Home has relied upon this agreement in deciding to provide the Services to you. If you cancel your Extended Service Plan or you otherwise breach these Terms during the Initial Term, you will pay an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the remaining payments owed during the Initial Term. This amount is a termination charge and not a penalty. All amounts are due immediately without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which you expressly waive. No contract termination charges are due if you cancel your Extended Service Plan during the Initial Term but have not received Services or if you cancel your Extended Service Plan during any Renewal Term.
6. What the Extended Service Plan Covers. During the term of your Extended Service Plan, with respect to any Covered Device that is deemed inoperable by Brinks Home due to normal wear and tear or product malfunction, Brinks Home will, in its sole discretion: (a) ship a replacement product for the defective part; (b) credit you the current retail price of such product; or (c) provide for on-site repair or replacement of the defective part. Your Extended Service Plan covers damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal wear and tear, and failure of the product(s) to function in its intended manner, as confirmed by Brinks Home, for Covered Devices installed or sold by Brinks Home or a Brinks Home authorized dealer or otherwise monitored by Brinks Home pursuant to a current and valid alarm monitoring agreement, during the term of the Extended Service Plan. Brinks Home, in its sole discretion, will determine whether the Covered Device will be repaired, replaced, or have its current retail value credited. Services may not be available on all equipment in all geographical locations, and additional charges, terms and conditions may apply in certain locations.

Your Extended Service Plan will continue to cover Covered Devices up through the End of Service Life of each Covered Device. Brinks Home has no obligation to provide maintenance services for any products after such products reach the End of Service Life.

References to “you” and “your” are references to the person(s) who are named as the home/business owner of the premises as identified on the alarm monitoring agreement to which these Terms relate. References to “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Brinks Home” refer to BH Security, LLC. dba Brinks Home and/or its employees or third party service providers, as the case may be.
2. Eligibility for Extended Service Plan. You must be a current customer and up to date on all payments to Brinks Home to receive service under your Extended Service Plan. The Extended Service Plan does not extend to any subsequent owner or other transferee of the equipment or alarm monitoring services. Other eligibility requirements may apply. Please contact Brinks Home with eligibility questions.
3. When Your Extended Service Plan Begins and Ends. Your Extended Service Plan begins on the date you purchase the Extended Service Plan (a) in conjunction with an alarm monitoring agreement, or (b) on a standalone basis as a current alarm monitoring customer of Brinks Home.

Extended Service Plan fees and payments are non‐refundable.
Brinks Home reserves the right to terminate your Extended Service Plan if you are no longer a customer in good standing with Brinks Home, due to non‐payment or failure to comply with your obligations set forth Section 9 below. Brinks Home may change the availability, terms, trip fees and/or monthly price of this Extended Service Plan at its discretion (and where allowed by law). Any such changes will not apply to service visits under your Extended Service Plan to the extent those service visits were scheduled prior to the changes taking effect.
4. Service Fees. You will pay the monthly fee quoted to you at the time of enrollment during the Initial Term. Upon any renewal, the monthly price of your Extended Service Plan may be adjusted to the then‐current monthly price offered by Brinks Home. You will be required to pay a $75 trip fee for each service request you make under your Extended Service Plan that requires on‐site diagnostics. This trip fee covers the cost of the initial on‐site diagnosis and testing in order to determine what repair/replacement may be needed, as well as the additional time the technician is on‐site performing repairs/replacements. Service outside of regular business hours will be charged at a higher rate. Regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays. All charges are due and payable upon completion of the service call.
