Will I receive a discount on my insurance for having a security
system installed?
Most homeowner’s policies offer discounts. Questions should be
addressed to your insurance company. For your records, we furnish
a Certificate of Installation at the time of your installation.
22.
Do you provide an incentive for referring another customer?
Brink’s offers you one month free monitoring for each new customer
you refer that has the Brink’s Home Security system installed.
23.
How do I receive credit for referring another customer?
Please have the person you refer write your name and telephone
number in the space provided at the bottom of their contract. Your
account will be credited within 60 days of their installation date.
24.
What taxes will I pay on the system?
Taxes will vary according to the laws of your state, city and county.
Most states require collection of a sales tax on equipment you
purchase. Some states require collection of a service tax which
would apply to the basic equipment connection fee, monthly
monitoring charges and charges for repair labor. Unless you choose
to purchase the Standard Protective Equipment, Brink’s will bill
you a fee once per year to reimburse Brink’s for property tax
assessed to Brink’s by your local taxing authority. This tax is
generally less than $15. This is more fully explained in your
Protective Service Agreement.
25.
What happens if I add DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) service
to my home?
Converting your phone to a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) service
or other high speed data line could affect the ability of the Brink’s
Home Security system to transmit alarm signals. If you have
switched to DSL or other high speed line service, you should
immediately test the Brink’s system’s transmission capability by
following the directions in this manual. If the transmission is not
successful, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. It may
be necessary for Brink’s to install a filter provided by your DSL
company in connection with the Brink’s control panel. Note that
although installation of the filter will generally allow communication,
due to the nature of DSL service the Brink’s system will not be
able to communicate if your telephone is in use or otherwise off
the hook.
