3. NOTICE ABOUT ROOF
The roof of your property is a complex, custom-built system that includes multiple components including underlayment, roofing material (such as metal or tiles) and fasteners and/or caulk. Its effectiveness is a combination of materials used, proper installation and its expected useful life. Your roof needs to be maintained and/or replaced periodically and should be inspected regularly. Roofs are designed to prevent water from entering the interior of your building, but no roof is completely impermeable. Water can enter in a variety of ways, including by being blocked from draining by ice dams, due to improper installation, due to your roof or heat tape approaching or passing the end of its useful life and due to damage from wind, hail or other factors. Installing heat tape can help prevent ice dams, but in some cases, it can also increase the risk of flooding if the heat tape is not installed correctly or is not functioning correctly or at all. Heat tape comes in various sizes and types and some types and brands function more effectively than others and it must be replaced periodically (depending on the quality of the heat tape, it may need to be replaced as often as every five years). Heat tape requires adequate electricity and an interruption or variation in electricity can trip a circuit or damage the heat tape, stopping it from functioning effectively or at all.
You and your roofing contractor(s), heat tape installer(s), and/or manufacturers (if any) are responsible for your own roof, your own heat tape, and for their proper operation, management, and monitoring. PowderWatts cannot and does not assume the responsibility or liability for monitoring or managing your roof or your heat tape. The PowderWatts system can be a useful tool for you when installed and used properly. The PowderWatts system manages the electrical usage of your heat tape by turning it on or off based on information obtained through the system, which includes whether or not your heat tape has created a visible melt channel for water to drain through. Even though the PowderWatts system can function automatically to do this, you should check your cameras on a daily basis to see whether or not your heat tape is functioning. PowderWatts does not intend to, and shall not be deemed to, have assumed the responsibility for managing your roof or your heat tape for the purpose of preventing or reducing the risk of flooding and should not be relied upon to prevent or reduce the risk of flooding. The PowderWatts system is instead designed to assist you in saving energy by turning your system on or off when it detects the need for heat to create a drainage channel within the scope of its camera.
By allowing for the installation of the Equipment from PowderWatts, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review the Order Form, the Customer Agreement (including these Contract Terms), the PowderWatts’s warranty terms, and any other relevant agreement(s) and/or term(s), and you accept all such terms and conditions, including the limitations, exclusions, and disclaimers.
None of the PowderWatts Parties will be liable for any alteration to or transfer of any equipment, including, without limitation, removing or disabling software, applications, features, and/or functionalities. Any such alteration will void any applicable limited warranty.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer agrees to and acknowledges that:
- PowderWatts does not evaluate, review, install, repair or replace roofing systems, heat cables, or electrical infrastructure, and does not ensure that existing heat cable systems are properly designed, installed or sufficient
- PowderWatts does not guarantee snow or ice melt performance of the Equipment or Services, except as otherwise set forth herein
- The Equipment and Services do not provide protection in areas where no heat cable is installed or functioning
- All alerts are informational only and dependent on system connectivity, power availability, and environmental conditions. Alerts are not guaranteed to be continuous, accurate or real-time

They are responsible for installing the hardware and software according to our training, while also ensuring compliance with all electrical codes, safety regulations, licensing, and permits. Any damages resulting from their failure to adhere to these rules or laws are solely the responsibility of the independent contractor.
- RESPONSIBILITY FOR ROOF, HEAT TAPE AND FLOODING; DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND PERSONS. You acknowledge that you or your contractors have sole responsibility for the selection, design, installation, maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of your roof and heat tape, and no PowderWatts Party has or should have any responsibility or liability for these. You acknowledge that roofs can leak for a variety of reasons and that it is your responsibility to monitor and manage your roof and heat tape for proper functioning. You acknowledge that the use of heat tape to melt snow or ice is inherently risky and prone to failure or accident, which may involve leaking via ice dams and other causes into the interior of your roof or residence, causing water damage that may include damage to your attic, walls, flooring, furniture, other property of yours or your guests or third parties, including vehicles, valuables, records, and other items, and to any other parts of your home, and may ultimately result in mold or other risks or losses, which may also create health risks or hazards for residents or visitors, whether or not you install the PowderWatts equipment or use the services. The use of heat tape and the equipment and services may also increase the risk of fire due to the increased usage of electricity and to the additional installation and use of batteries, electrical cables, and outlets. The use of the equipment and services may increase the risk of such outcomes since the heat tape will not be constantly turned on. You are voluntarily entering into this agreement in order to experience energy savings and will remain responsible for your roof, your heat tape, and for monitoring the proper functioning of both, and will remain liable for and otherwise are willing to assume such risks. You agree that none of the PowderWatts parties will be liable for any damage resulting from the failure of the services or equipment to prevent or reduce the risks of flooding or to manage heat tape on the roof of your residence or property for such purpose, including, without limitation, any loss or failure of such heat tape to turn on or off or to function properly due to any fault, failure, deficiency, or defect in services or equipment.
- DAMAGES LIMITATION. Even though you have released the PowderWatts parties from any and all liabilities as described above, you acknowledge and agree that in the event that any of the PowderWatts parties are nonetheless determined to be liable to you or to any other person who accesses your property or is exposed to the equipment or any situation or issue caused by the services or equipment, then the PowderWatts parties will be liable to you and to such persons only for your or their direct damages. In no event will the PowderWatts parties be liable to you or them for an aggregate amount more than the fees paid by you to the PowderWatts parties during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of the event for services and equipment. None of the PowderWatts parties shall have any liability whatsoever for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages.

- Waiver. PowderWatts’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising any of its rights at law, in equity, under contract (including, without limitation, this Agreement and your applicable Customer Agreement) or otherwise (all of which are hereby expressly reserved) will not operate as a waiver by PowderWatts of such rights.
