Key Holder Program
The owner must provide One Pointe with 3 sets of keys. If requested we will make the copies for you however the owner will be billed $2.25 per key plus a full hour site visit to have the keys made and tested at the owner's residence. Once the keys are turned over to One Pointe they will remain the property of One Pointe until such time as the membership contract between One Pointe and the owner is terminated in writing. During the period that One Pointe is the custodian of the key we will be available to release the key to ONLY persons made authorized by the owner. An owner may request that a key is released for an extended period of time. All keys that are not returned to our office by persons designated by the owner will be reproduced at the expense of the owner. There are three options for termination of owner participation in the Key Holder Program: 1) the owner can pick up the key; 2) the owner can instruct One Pointe, in writing, to destroy the key; or 3) the owner can ask One Pointe to return the key by certified mail ($45.00 charge applies).

All of the terms and services provided for the Key Holder Program are included in the Alarm Availability Service. Alarm availability includes unlimited responses during regular business hours to burglar, motion, heat, low temp, and low battery signal. 24 hour on call staff will be in place to respond to all after hours calls. Any physical response needed will be billed accordingly. To terminate participation in Alarm Availability program, owner must contact both alarm company and One Pointe. If alarm company is not notified, or One Pointe is contacted to respond to an alarm subsequent to termination, One Pointe is obligated to respond and normal rates will apply.

Project Management
Any contractor supervision (beyond that required for routine services) or project management provided by One Pointe for a member will be subject to a management fee.

Site Visits

person on behalf of the owner, or prompted by an alarm or security issue. A site visit is for requests that are not specific for a trade task.
