  1. The church agrees to undertake maintenance and monitoring of the Alarm, as recommended by the manufacturer, for a minimum of five years and apply SmartWater as necessary. (You should be aware that the registration and use of approved marking such as SmartWater remains a policy condition of EIG.)
  1. The church should maintain adequate insurance for the fabric and contents of the church.
