Why do I have to provide contacts and what are their obligations?

Contacts are the people who you’ve nominated as your company’s authorised after hours decision makers.

While we’re responsible for monitoring your alarm and advising your contacts of any exceptions, your contacts are responsible for making decisions about your security based on the information we provide. Once personal contact has been made with a contact, we consider that they’ve been duly advised and it’s now their responsibility to make a decision.

If they don’t want to make a decision or issue instructions it then becomes their responsibility to contact another contact who is able to make a decision.
