5. LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY – Company hereby warrants (“Limited Warranty”) only to the purchaser that first activates the Product, that the Product will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period equal to the term of the initial service plan you purchased from the dealer (“Limited Warranty Period”) which in any event cannot exceed three years. The Limited Warranty Period shall not be extended by your subsequent purchase of service renewals. The Limited Warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear and does not cover repair or replacement if the Product is damaged by tampering, misuse, accident, abuse, neglect, improper installation, misapplication, alteration of any kind, disaster, defects due to repairs or modifications made by anyone other than Company or an authorized service representative of Company, device obsolescence, or reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna systems outside the Product. Further, the Limited Warranty does not apply to physical damage of any nature whatsoever to the Product, including any opening or attempted opening of the Product, and any such opening or attempted opening of the Product shall render the Limited Warranty invalid. THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCT AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. THE SOFTWARE LOADED ON THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY. COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY. However, some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, AND YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF ANY PROPOSAL, SPECIFICATION, OR SAMPLE. THE TERM OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE AMOUNT OF TIME AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. You agree that neither Company nor any other party has made any representations or warranties, nor have you relied on any representations or warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose with respect to the Products. You acknowledge that no affirmation of fact or statement (whether written or oral) made by Company, its representatives, a Reseller, or any other party outside of this Agreement with respect to the Products shall be deemed to create any express or implied warranty on the part of Company, its representatives, or a Reseller. The Price for replacement of Product outside of the Limited Warranty is $90.00 (“Replacement Cost”). To obtain warranty service or out of warranty replacement, contact the Customer Service Department using the support number located from the login screen within the Kahu mobile app. Upon verification of coverage or upon payment of the Replacement Cost, an RA# will be issued and provided to you by Company via fax, email, or over the phone. You must then return to the dealer where You purchased the Product, and a replacement Product will be installed at no additional installation cost. If you are unable to return to the dealer, you may request a mobile installation. Mobile installation fees are not covered by the Limited Warranty or included in the Replacement Cost and are due before Company will schedule the installation.
6. Limitation of Liability. YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE KAHU SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Company’s total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose. In the event of a conflict between this agreement and Your SSA, the limitations of liability in the SSA will govern.

Customer waives any and all claims against the Wireless Carrier and Company for such suspension or termination. Customer understands that the Wireless Carrier cannot guarantee the security of wireless transmissions and will not be liable for any lack of security relating to the use of the Wireless Service.

19. ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS
19.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 19, a “Dispute” is any contract, tort, statutory or other claim or dispute between Company and Customer arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any resulting transaction or relationship (including any such relationship with third parties who do not sign this Agreement). “Dispute” includes any disagreement over the interpretation and scope of this Section 19, or the arbitrability of the Dispute.
19.2 Agreement to Arbitrate Upon Request. Any Dispute shall, at Company’s or Customer’s request, be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court. Arbitration will be by one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. Customer waives any right Customer may have to arbitrate a Dispute as a class action (this is referred to below as the “class action waiver”). Arbitration will be conducted by and under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Ave., Floor 10, New York, NY 10017-4605 (www.adr.org), or any other arbitration organization Customer selects, subject to Company’s approval. Customer may get the rules of the organization by contacting it or visiting its website.
19.3 Arbitrators and Location of Arbitration. Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges selected under the applicable rules. The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law in making an award. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in the federal district in which Customer resides, or at some other location convenient to Customer.
19.4 Costs of Arbitration. Company will pay Customer’s filing, administration, service or case management fee and Customer’s arbitrator or hearing fee all up to a maximum of $1,500.

Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law.
19.5 Award and Right to Repeal. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on all parties, except that if the arbitrator’s award for a party is $0 or against a party exceeds $100,000, or includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, that party may request a new arbitration hearing under the rules of the arbitration organization by a three-judge panel. Unless prohibited by law, the appealing party requesting new arbitration shall be responsible for the filing fee and other arbitration costs, subject to a final determination by the arbitrators of a fair apportionment of the costs. Any arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state arbitration law.
19.6 Additional Provisions. Customer and Company retain the right to sue in small claims court for a Dispute within that court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. Neither Customer nor Company waive the right to arbitrate by filing suit. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. If any part of this Section 19, other than the class action waiver, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Section 19 is enforceable. If the class action waiver is deemed or found to be unenforceable, then this entire Section 19 shall be unenforceable.
19.7 Right to Opt Out. Customer may opt out of this Section 19 regarding arbitration by doing so in writing to Company as set forth in Section 18.7 of this Agreement (“Notices”), postmarked no later than 10 days from the date of this agreement.
