Many retail security programs are structured as lease systems, where the retailer pays some sort of recurring monthly fee. When the contract is nearing expiration, the retailer can elect to renew or sever the contract, but they own nothing regardless of what they do. Some security providers allow retailers to buy out the systems they’ve been using, but they will likely charge new prices for those used and dated systems. Making the switch to one provider can help ensure you have newer and up-to-date security systems and products.
