13.2 Buyer agrees, acknowledges and confirms that the limitations of liability set out in this Section are fair and reasonable in the commercial circumstances of this Agreement and that XDI would not have entered into this Agreement but for Buyer’s agreement to limit the liability of XDI in the manner, and to the extent, provided herein.

Buyer shall have no right whatsoever to such information other than to use it for purposes of the transactions covered hereunder. XDI will not disclose, without Buyer’s prior written consent, information submitted to it by Buyer which is confidential and proprietary to Buyer and clearly designated as such.
15. Force Majeure. In the event either party is unable to fully perform its

Timely notice of such inability to perform shall be given to the other party. In the event of XDI’s inability to perform due to force majeure, Buyer shall be entitled to reduce its purchase obligations towards XDI by the quantities purchased from other sources, but shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement.
16. Waiver. Any delay by a party in exercising its rights hereunder will not constitute a waiver of its rights or its ability to enforce any such rights.

parties. Nothing hereunder or in the course of performance of this Agreement shall grant either party the authority to create or assume any obligation on behalf, or in the name, of the other party, or shall be deemed to create the relationship of joint venture, partnership, association or employment between the parties.

The parties agree to submit all such disputes to binding arbitration which shall be held in the metropolitan area of Detroit, Michigan, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pertaining to commercial arbitration. Within thirty (30) days after either party has notified the other in writing that it is submitting a dispute to arbitration, three (3) arbitrators shall be appointed in accordance with said rules. Neither party shall be allowed to object to an arbitrator appointed by the other party. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive damages or any other damages excluded herein. The arbitration award shall be final and binding, and it may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction. The party prevailing in the arbitration or any other legal proceedings shall be entitled to recover its costs including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred due to the arbitration or other legal proceedings.
22. Validity of Quotation. Each Quotation (and the prices and quantities
thereunder) issued by XDI shall be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of issuance unless otherwise stated therein, and such Quotation is deemed revoked if Buyer has not provided its acceptance of such Quotation in writing prior to the end of the defined period.
23. XDI Will not provide custom tuning parameter changes to the masses. We will provide to only Authorized dealer / tuners of XDI.

By purchasing you accept that there is no refunds when purchasing an XDI product and wanting our custom tuning parameters, rather than getting a tune from an authorized dealer/tuner. XDI may provide these settings to a new, established tuner if the customer supplies their information prior to sale.
