  7. 7. Activated Phone Service Cancellation Fee. When you purchase a phone with wireless service, you will be required to enter into a Service Plan Agreement with a Carrier or Activated Phone Reseller in order to activate the phone. The terms and conditions of the Service Plan Agreement govern all aspects of your relationship with the Carrier and Activated Phone Reseller. Motorola shall have no liability in connection therewith. All Activated Phones require a Minimum Service Commitment as specified in the Service Plan Agreement you choose. If Buyer cancels the Service Plan Agreement before the expiration of the Minimum Service Commitment, the Carrier and/or the Activated Phone Reseller will charge Buyer a Service Cancellation Fee as specified in the Service Plan Agreement. Some Service Plan Agreements permit the Buyer to try-out the phone for a limited time, and if not satisfied, to cancel the Service Plan Agreement without incurring a Service Cancellation Fee. The ability to try-out the phone, as well as the duration of such test period, varies and is governed by the terms of the Service Plan Agreement you chose. All Activated Phones must be returned in accordance with the Carrier's and/or the Activated Phone Reseller's return policy. To view the Terms and Conditions of a Service Plan Agreement, please check the Legal Agreement section of the Plan Detail. These vary by Provider and Plan.

  8. 8. Return Policy. Downloaded Software is NOT returnable or refundable.

If Buyer returns damaged Product(s) or Product(s) without the included accessories, Motorola reserves the right to refuse or reduce the amount to be refunded to the Buyer.
    Damaged Products covered under Motorola's Limited Warranty may be returned only in accordance with Motorola's Limited Warranty. Activated Phones must be returned in accordance with the Carrier's and the Activated Phone Reseller's return policy, which can be found in the Legal Agreement section of the Plan Detail.

  9. 9. Disclaimer of Liability for Carrier's System and Other Services or Signals.

Motorola reserves the right to modify its warranty at any time, in its sole discretion. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to Buyer. This warranty gives Buyer specific legal rights, and Buyer may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

  11. 11. Third Party/Non-Motorola Products. THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS ARE SERVICED AND SUPPORTED EXCLUSIVELY BY THEIR MANUFACTURERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH TERMS AND CONDITIONS PACKAGED WITH THE PRODUCTS. MOTOROLA'S WARRANTY (IF ANY) DOES NOT APPLY TO PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT MOTOROLA-BRANDED, EVEN IF PACKAGED OR SOLD WITH MOTOROLA PRODUCTS.

ALL THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT ONLY TO ANY APPLICABLE WARRANTIES OF THEIR RESPECTIVE MANUFACTURES, DISTRIBUTORS AND SUPPLIERS, IF ANY.

No action will be brought for any breach of these Terms more than one year after the accrual of such cause of action. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Buyer.

Buyer agrees that all causes of action arising out of or connected with any Products ordered through the Website, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action.

  17. 17. General. The invalidity in whole or in part of any provision of these Terms will not affect the validity of other provisions, unless such invalidity would frustrate the purpose of these Terms. Motorola will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform due to any cause beyond its reasonable control.
