Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Limited Warranty applies only to the repair or replacement of the Product, and does not cover any cost or labor associated with the installation of the replacement Product, and the Company shall not be responsible for any labor or costs to repair damage to any weapon or firearm into which the Products were installed or incorporated or to any other property, however caused. Additionally, the Purchaser is solely responsible for all shipping costs associated with both the return of the broken or damaged Product, and for the shipment of the repaired or replacement Product. Any Product repaired or replaced hereunder will continue to be covered under the terms of this Limited Warranty for the duration of the original Limited Warranty period for the Product repaired or replaced.

ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE COMMENCED BY ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT BY DELIVERING TO THE OTHER PARTY A WRITTEN NOTICE REQUESTING ARBITRATION. ANY ARBITRATION HEARING SHALL BE HELD IN AKRON, OHIO.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY ARBITRATION RULES TO THE CONTRARY, THE AWARD OF THE ARBITRATOR(S) MUST BE MADE NO LATER THAN THREE (3) MONTHS FOLLOWING THE DATE ON WHICH THE ARBITRATOR(S) IS APPOINTED, UNLESS THE ISSUE IS THE SUBJECT OF LITIGATION BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY AND THE ARBITRATOR(S) DEEM IT APPROPRIATE TO DEFER ITS AWARD UNTIL THE LITIGATION IS RESOLVED.
