General Provisions
To be covered by this Agreement, a Failure must first occur during the Plan's automatic monthly renewal ("Coverage Period"), which commences on the date that You approve this Agreement ("Effective Date") and runs for one month thereafter. The Agreement will renew automatically unless and until You cancel the Agreement or Tesla declines to renew the Agreement, as described in Section L and Section M below.
Coverage requires that (1) the Covered Windshield was purchased directly from and installed immediately by Tesla Service Center (including where applicable, the Vehicle's original windshield); and (2) if applicable, You authorize and pay Tesla to complete a Windshield Protection Plan Inspection ("Inspection"), along with any related services or repairs listed on the Inspection that are required to make the Vehicle eligible for coverage under this Agreement.
This Agreement is subject to the following terms, conditions, limitations, exclusions, and definitions and does not cover, among other specified items, damage to Your Vehicle. No person has the authority to change this Agreement or to waive any of its provisions. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of its subscriber or the recipient of a valid transfer of this Agreement and applies only to the Covered Windshield for the Vehicle. This Agreement is optional and not a condition to the purchase, leasing, or financing of a windshield, vehicle, or any other Tesla product.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy between You and Tesla arising out of, or related to, this Agreement is subject to binding arbitration on an individual basis in accordance with Section J below.

I. Limits of Liability
IMPLIED AND EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS ARISING UNDER APPLICABLE STATE LAWS OR FEDERAL STATUTE OR OTHERWISE IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, IF ANY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, OR THOSE ARISING BY A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, OR LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE COVERAGE PERIOD OF THIS AGREEMENT.
The performance of necessary repairs and parts replacement, up to one (1) Claim in any 12-month period, is the exclusive remedy under this Agreement or any implied warranties. Tesla is not obligated to provide duplicate remedies for the same issue under this Agreement and any Tesla limited warranty or service plan. Liability is limited to the reasonable price for repair or replacement of any Covered Windshield, not to exceed the manufacturer's suggested retail price for that part. Replacement may be made with parts of like kind and quality, including non-original manufacturer's parts or remanufactured parts.
In no event will liability for a Failure under this Agreement exceed the fair market value of the Vehicle at the time immediately preceding the Failure. In addition, the sum of all benefits payable under this Agreement shall not exceed the retail price originally paid to Tesla for the Vehicle.
Tesla does not authorize any person or entity to create for it any other obligations or liabilities in connection with this Agreement. The decision of whether to repair or replace a part or to use a new or remanufactured part will be made by Tesla, in its sole discretion.
Tesla will not pay for or reimburse You for services that are performed by any party other than a Tesla Service Center or Tesla Mobile Service. Tesla hereby disclaims any and all indirect, incidental, special and consequential damages arising out of or relating to Your Vehicle, including, but not limited to, transportation to and from a Tesla Service Center, loss of Vehicle value, loss of time, loss of income, loss of use, loss of personal or commercial property, inconvenience or aggravation, emotional distress or harm, commercial loss (including but not limited to lost profits or earnings), bus fares, vehicle rental, service call charges, gasoline expenses, lodging expenses, damage to a tow vehicle, and incidental charges such as telephone calls, facsimile transmissions, and mailing expenses.
The above limitations and exclusions shall apply whether Your claim is in contract, tort (including negligence and gross negligence), breach of warranty or condition, misrepresentation (whether negligent or otherwise) or otherwise at law or in equity, even if Tesla is advised of the possibility of such damages or such damages are reasonably foreseeable.
J. Agreement to Arbitrate
Agreement to Arbitrate. Please carefully read this provision, which applies to any dispute between You and Tesla, Inc. and its affiliates, (together “Tesla”).
If You have a concern or dispute, please send a written notice describing it and Your desired resolution to resolutions@tesla.com.
If not resolved within 60 days, You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between You and Tesla will not be decided by a judge or jury but instead by a single arbitrator in an arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. This includes claims arising before this Agreement, such as claims related to statements about our products. You further agree that any disputes related to the arbitrability of Your claims will be decided by the court rather than an arbitrator, notwithstanding AAA rules to the contrary.
To initiate the arbitration, You will pay the filing fee directly to AAA and we will pay all subsequent AAA fees for the arbitration, except You are responsible for Your own attorney, expert, and other witness fees and costs unless otherwise provided by law. If You prevail on any claim, we will reimburse You Your filing fee. The arbitration will be held in the city or county of Your residence. To learn more about the Rules and how to begin an arbitration, You may call any AAA office or go to www.adr.org.
The arbitrator may only resolve disputes between You and Tesla and may not consolidate claims without the consent of all parties. The arbitrator cannot hear class or representative claims or requests for relief on behalf of others purchasing or leasing Tesla vehicles. In other words, You and Tesla may bring claims against the other only in Your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action. If a court or arbitrator decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate cannot be enforced as to a particular claim for relief or remedy, then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) must be brought in court and any other claims must be arbitrated.
If You prefer, You may instead take an individual dispute to small claims court.
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days after signing this Agreement by sending a letter to: Tesla, Inc.; P.O. Box 15430; Fremont, CA 94539-7970, stating Your name, Order Number or Vehicle Identification Number, and intent to opt out of the arbitration provision. If You do not opt out, this agreement to arbitrate overrides any different arbitration agreement between us, including any arbitration agreement in a lease or finance contract.
K. Change of Vehicle Ownership
If You sell or otherwise transfer ownership of the Vehicle, You must record the transfer in the Tesla App. Subject to You so advising Tesla of the transfer, Your responsibility for future Subscription Fee under this Agreement will end immediately following the date of transfer as reasonably ascertained by Tesla, and Your rights and Tesla's obligations to You under this Agreement will terminate. The new owner will have the option to continue this Agreement, with no action required by You. If You sell or transfer the Vehicle, You hereby consent to the termination of Your rights under the Agreement, and the assignment of this Agreement to the new owner.
L. Cancellation and Termination by You

Cancellation by Tesla. Unless otherwise required by law, the refund (if any) will be calculated on a pro-rata basis reflecting the lesser of the unused days that have been paid for, less the amount of any Claims paid under this Agreement. If this Agreement is contracted in a jurisdiction where not permitted pursuant to applicable law at the time of purchase, the Agreement is void ab initio and of no force and effect and will not be deemed a cancellation.
