Situation:
Midland, Texas, Closed on new home and Chad the Technician arrived prompt as scheduled.
Task:
Chad was awesome, very knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable to go with his system. He installed most of the system that day but needed to return another time to install a couple outside cameras.
Action:
The doorbell camera stopped working and over the next few days went in and out of service. The cameras have never been fully installed and still do not work. Two technicians have been to my house multiple times now and still cannot get the cameras working.
All of this I was very patient with... but the other day my two kids came home from school and put the code in the keyfab but the door didn't open. So they called my wife but she was 40 mins away. Luckily, the neighbor (who we obviously didn't know) came over and asked them to come into her home. When my wife arrived home the neighbor told her the kids were upset, the workers were making rude comments to my daughter and she didn't feel comfortable leaving them alone outside.
Result:
I called Chad and told him I needed to cancel the security service. Instead of providing security for us - because of the faulty equipment installed, Safe Haven has actually created a dangerous and unsafe environment for my family... nothing more dangerous than a false sense of security.
Chad totally understood and said corporate would reach out to me. Below is the email I received from corporate... not a care in the world about the safety of my family. Pretty scary - ey!

Interesting email Megan,
No phone call, no apology for the doorbell system you installed not working, no apology for your keylock/unlock system you installed not working, no apology for your cameras not working, no apology for the system I paid over $4,000 for still not being fully installed yet, and absolutely no concern for the safety of a family you left vulnerable because your system didn't work.
The context of your communication leads the reader to believe Safe Haven has no real concern for a customers safety at all, you don't care if your equipment is working or not - or even if it's installed or not, only that you steal money from customers that you did not earn.
I do not believe I ever saw or read or signed any contract? I pushed a few buttons on an ipad if I remember correctly - but I know I never read anything because I didn't have my glasses on.
Regardless, if your contract reads, "Safe Haven Security will install faulty equipment that will not work and lock your children out of the home and leave them in grave danger.", then you're correct, you provided what we agreed to and I should pay a termination fee.
If your contract does not contain the above language - then please refund my payment in full.
Or, if you prefer to put this situation in front of a judge for him or her to decide what is fair - no problem, I'm perfectly happy to go down that route as well.
Thank you.
