False (Nuisance) Alarm

“False alarm” means:(1) the activation of a security alarm system due to other than an unauthorized intrusion on the premises or the commission or attempted commission of an unlawful act, which the security alarm system is designed to detect; or (2) the activation of a fire alarm system designed to detect fires or other similar emergency event when no such danger exists. Activation of a security or fire alarm system caused by any malfunction of telephone line circuits or violent natural catastrophic conditions does not constitute a false alarm unless activation is the result of the alarm user’s failure to correct any malfunction within the alarm user’s control.
