CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER

1. WARRANTY. Damage Control Athletix, LLC d/b/a Damage Control Mouthguards (“Damage Control Mouthguards”) hereby warrants the Damage Control Mouthguard purchased herewith to be free from defects in material and workmanship which could cause damage or injury to the sound, natural tooth or teeth of the original purchaser when used properly in a supervised athletic contest or coach-supervised training session. This Limited Warranty and Disclaimer ("Dental Warranty") shall extend for a period of 1 year from the date of purchase of the Damage Control Mouthguard. This Dental Warranty is the exclusive remedy and shall only extend to the original purchaser of such Damage Control Mouthguard above. Damage Control Mouthguard’s obligations under this Dental Warranty shall be limited to the lesser of:

 

1. The actual dental expense incurred by the original purchaser for dental injury or damage to the original purchaser's tooth or teeth; or

 

781. $312.50 (US) per injured or replaced tooth, up to a maximum total liability of $10,000(US) per incident. Dental or tooth injuries that occur during the same athletic contest or coach-supervised training session shall be deemed to be one incident, regardless of the number of rounds, practices, breaks, contests, and/or fights that occur during such athletic contest or training session and regardless of whether the damages or injuries are separated in time or occurrence or are the result of one or more rounds, contests, and/or fights involving one or more partner(s) or opponent(s) and/or the same or different partner(s) or opponent(s).

 

Damage Control Mouthguards’ obligations hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance that is or may be collected, available, or payable for the damage, injury or liability claimed, regardless of the source of such insurance, and an initial claimant deductible of $175.00 (US). Damage Control Mouthguards may require any person making the warranty claim to assign any insurance policies, claims, payments, or proceeds to Damage Control Mouthguards as a condition of payment under this Dental Warranty. Damage Control Mouthguards may require the person making the warranty claim to grant Damage Control Mouthguards the right of subrogation to any insurance policies, claims, payments, or proceeds as a condition of payment under this Dental Warranty. This certificate does not provide payment or indemnity for orthodontic treatments or preparation of a tooth or teeth to be used as an anchor for a bridge.
