6) Export
You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the various states and of the United States. You hereby agree that you do not intend to, and will not knowingly, without the prior written approval, if required, of the Office of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce or any other applicable government agency, export, either directly or indirectly, any Equipment or any portion of Equipment, or any software or any portion of software, to any country for which such approval is required.

You also understand that the requirements and restrictions of U.S. Law may vary depending on the Equipment and software delivered and may change over time and that, to determine the precise controls applicable to the Equipment and software acquired, it is necessary for you to refer to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and the U.S. Foreign Assets Control Regulations, or other applicable export regulations.
7) Warranty for Equipment
Mazda Computing warrants all Equipment to be free from material defects in workmanship or materials for a period of three (3) years from date of shipment. If at any time within three (3) year after shipment the Equipment does not function as warranted, return it and Mazda Computing will repair or replace it without charge. It is the customers responsibility to pay shipping charges to return the Equipment to us for repair or replacement. Equipment shipped back to you after warranty repair is standard Ground Shipping with the ability for the customer to upgrade the shipping method at the customers expense. For example, if you ship Equipment to Mazda Computing using two-day express shipping, Mazda Computing will schedule to return the repaired item to you using ground shipping, if a two-day shipping method is preferred, you will be charged the difference in price between ground and 2nd day. If any Equipment is subject to federal or state consumer warranty laws, and subject to applicable law, Mazda Computing’s statement of limited warranty included with the Equipment applies in place of these warranties. Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you or failure caused by an item for which Mazda Computing is not responsible may void these warranties. THIS WARRANTY REPLACES ANY OTHER WARRANTY, AND Mazda Computing MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

9) Limitation of Liability
If Mazda Computing defaults, or because of other liability you are entitled to recover damages from Mazda Computing, then, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages, Mazda Computing is only liable for the amount of any actual loss or damage up to the charges for the Equipment that is the subject of the claim. This limit also applies to any subcontractor, reseller, programmer, or developer as the maximum for which we are collectively responsible. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS Mazda Computing LIABLE FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES; LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF Mazda Computing HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
