That is why they are running at a 30-35% attrition rate. They could fix it
but it is easier for them to charge back the installing dealer.

No true. They have a list of equipment they will except from the dealers.

That falls under the installing dealers liability insurance, which in
Florida they must have in order to be licensed. Are you saying that ADT uses
unlicensed dealers?

Of course not. The installing dealer has their own insurance or if they
qualify through State quidelines can exempt themselves for Workers Comp,
which means they cannot go after the homeowner if they get hurt. Do some
fact finding before you post dribble.

So. A dealer can do what ever they want. It is their contract to sell
especially if the client doesn't want ADT or doesn't fit ADT's requirments.
The dealer isn't going to simply throw the customer away.

ADT's FASA course, as a provider, has not been renewed by the State and
their trainers have not been renewed by the State, meaning any cards issued
by ADT are invalid. Sorry, no ticky no laundry.
