THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE. PLEASE SEE SECTION 5 BELOW.

1. Product Limited Warranty. SSI warrants that its products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for thirty (30) days or for the period stated on your invoice, whichever is longer. The warranty period begins on the date you receive the product(s) from SSI. During the warranty period, SSI will, at its option: (i) provide replacement parts necessary to repair the product, (ii) repair the product, (iii) replace the product with a comparable or superior one, or (iv) refund the amount you paid for the product, LESS SHIPPING & HANDLING, upon its return. You must assist SSI in diagnosing issues with your product and follow SSI’s warranty processes. You must obtain warranty service from SSI. SSI will not reimburse you for service performed by others. You may be required to ship your product to and from SSI at your expense. Replacement parts and products will be serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to the original part, and warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. If SSI asks you to return defective parts or products, you must do so within seven (7) days after you receive the replacement parts or products. SSI will charge you for replacement parts or products if you fail to do so.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER MISUSE OR MINOR IMPERFECTIONS THAT DO NOT MATERIALLY ALTER FUNCTIONALITY. PRODUCTS SOLD BY STI AS “USED” MAY NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS SIMILAR NEW PRODUCTS. STI DOES NOT WARRANT AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY MISUSE, ABUSE, ACCIDENTS, VIRUSES, DATA LOSS, UNAUTHORIZED SERVICE OR PARTS, OR THE COMBINATION OF STI PRODUCTS WITH OTHER PRODUCTS. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER SOFTWARE-RELATED ISSUES.
2. Services and Service Limited Warranty. For a period of thirty (30) days after services are performed by SSI under this Agreement, SSI warrants that such services were performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. You should back up all files before services are performed and remove any data from parts or products returned to SSI. SSI IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF YOUR DATA.
3. Warranty Process. If the product you received from SSI is defective during the warranty period, you must contact SSI via phone (713-932-0657) and/or via email ([email protected]) before taking any further action. After confirming your problem, SSI will determine the appropriate action to take. SSI may require you to ship the defective product to SSI in order to repair or replace it. In the event SSI does require you to return the defective product, SSI will provide you with a Returned Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”) number. You must include this number with the defective product when you return it. FAILURE TO OBTAIN AN RMA NUMBER PRIOR TO SHIPPING YOUR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT TO SSI RELIEVES SSI OF ALL FURTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS WARRANTY AGREEMENT. Returned products must be shipped, at your expense, to: SourceTech Systems Inc, 1701 Bingle Road, Suite 4, Houston, TX 77055, or to whatever other address SSI provides you.

EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SSI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OTHER THAN THOSE WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY AND INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION, OR MODIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
5. Dispute Resolution. You and SSI agree that any Dispute between You and STI will be resolved exclusively and finally by arbitration administered by the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) and conducted under its rules, except as otherwise provided below. You and SSI will agree on another arbitration forum if NAF ceases operations. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator, and will be limited solely to the Dispute between You and SSI. The arbitration, or any portion of it, will not be consolidated with any other arbitration and will not be conducted on a class-wide or class action basis. The arbitration shall be held at any reasonable location near your residence by submission of documents, by telephone, online, or in person, whichever method of presentation You choose. If You prevail in the arbitration of any Dispute with SSI, SSI will reimburse You for any fees you paid to NAF in connection with the arbitration. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. Should either party bring a Dispute in a forum other than NAF, the arbitrator may award the other party its reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in staying or dismissing such other proceedings or in otherwise enforcing compliance with this dispute resolution provision. You understand that, in the absence of this provision, You would have had a right to litigate disputes through a court, including the right to litigate claims on a class-wide or class-action basis, and that You have expressly and knowingly waived those rights and agreed to resolve any Disputes through binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. This arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. For the purposes of this provision, the term “Dispute” means any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, applicability, or validity thereof, (ii) the related order for, purchase, delivery, receipt, or use of any product or service from SSI or iii) any other dispute arising out of or relating to the relationship between You and SSI; the term “SSI” means SourceTech Systems Inc., its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, beneficiaries, agents, assigns, and/or component suppliers (both hardware and software); and the term “You” means you, or those in privity with you, such as family members or beneficiaries.
