Manufacturer, and their respective heirs, assigns, spouses, family members, affiliates, officers,
directors, attorneys, insurers, shareholders, successors, subsidiaries and/or parent companies,
and survives the termination of the Warranty Period. SUBJECT TO CONSUMER’S RIGHT TO
BRING ANY CLAIM AGAINST MANUFACTURER IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION CONSUMER AND MANUFACTURER AGREE THAT ANY
DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF
THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING ISSUES OF ARBITRABILITY, SHALL, ("DISPUTE"), AT THE
OPTION OF EITHER PARTY, BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A SINGLE
NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR ADMINISTERED BY JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION
SERVICES ("JAMS") UNDER ITS APPLICABLE ARBITRATION RULES IN EFFECT AT THE
TIME THE DISPUTE ARISES. DISPUTES SHALL NOT BE RESOLVED BY COURT OR JURY
TRIAL, AND CONSUMER IS WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. The JAMS
Policy on Consumer Arbitration and Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness in effect at the
time the Dispute arises are deemed incorporated by reference herein and shall govern the
Arbitration.
The JAMS Rules and may be found at www.jamsadr.com, by searching for "JAMS
Arbitration Rules" using a service such as www.Google.com or www.Yahoo.com, or by asking
Manufacturer for a copy of the rules. If for any reason JAMS will not administer the arbitration,
either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction with authority over the location where
the arbitration will be conducted for appointment of a neutral Arbitrator.
The Arbitration hearing shall, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, be held
within forty-five miles of where CONSUMER resides. Manufacturer shall pay all costs and
expenses unique to arbitration, including without limitation the arbitrator’s fees. The Parties shall
be entitled to discovery as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator must
follow applicable law and may award only those remedies that would have applied had the matter
been heard in court. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court of
competent authority.
8.02 Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver. This Agreement affects your
ability to participate in class, collective or representative actions. Consumer and Manufacturer
agree to bring any Dispute in Arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, collective,
or private attorney general representative basis. There will be no right or authority for any Dispute
to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general
action, or as a member in any purported class, collective, representative, or private attorney
general proceeding ("Class Action Waiver"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
or the JAMS Rules, disputes regarding the validity, enforceability, or breach of the Class Action
Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In
any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney
general action and (2) a civil court of competent jurisdiction finds all or part of the Class Action
Waiver unenforceable, the class, collective, representative, and/or private attorney general action
to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class
Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration. The Class Action Waiver shall be
severable in any case in which the dispute is filed as an individual action and severance is
necessary to ensure that the individual action proceeds in arbitration.
8.03 Commencing the Arbitration. All claims in arbitration are subject to the same statues
of limitations that would apply in court under applicable law. The Party bringing the claim must
demand arbitration in writing and deliver the written demand by hand or first-class mail to the other
party within the applicable statute of limitations period. The demand for arbitration shall include
identification of the parties, a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim(s), and a
specification of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration shall be provided to Provider’s
registered agent for service of process. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes regarding the
timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration.
8.04 Enforcement of this Agreement. This Agreement is the full and complete agreement
relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Agreement and shall supersede all
other agreements concerning arbitration. In the event any part of this Agreement is held
unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement will be enforceable. If the Class Action Waiver in Section
2 of this Agreement is unenforceable, Manufacturer and Consumer agree that this Agreement is
otherwise silent as to any Party’s ability to bring a class, collective, or representative action in
arbitration.
9.01 Governing Law. This Limited Warranty and any Warranty Claim hereunder shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California, unless the Consumer lives in and the Product was
installed in a residence located in a different state, in which case the laws of the state of installation
shall apply.
9.02 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
Parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and all prior or contemporaneous
agreements, representations, or understandings by and between the Parties, whether written or
oral, are superseded and merged herein.
9.04 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions
shall not be affected thereby, and said illegal and/or invalid part, term, or provision shall be
deemed not to be a part of the Agreement.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights which vary
from state to state.
