15. LIMITATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY: You have read, understand, and acknowledge the following inherent technical limitations relating to the use of the Services: (a) Wireless Network Coverage and Service: complete coverage of the service area at all times is improbable. The existence of adverse conditions, such as short-term unpredictable meteorological effects and sky wave interference from distant stations, can interrupt the Services and Software at times. Certain circumstances such as weather, tunnels, underground structures, terrain, high-rise buildings, enclosed or underground parking or driving areas, faulty installation, motor ignition and other electrical noises and radio signals from external sources may interfere with the Services and the Software. Pioneer utilizes wireless networks with broad coverage areas to access moving vehicles and assets. There are still areas within the Service area that have not yet been included in the wireless coverage areas. Therefore, if a vehicle travels out of the available Service area, communication with that vehicle is unavailable until it returns to the available Service area. Also, from time to time, poor coverage areas (“holes“) occur even in fully developed areas, thereby limiting system performance. Other wireless network environmental issues may affect the communications link between the Units and the Pioneer Online System. Environmental issues may include; service interruptions, network congestion, roaming and similar access issues. (b) Global Positioning System (GPS) Drift and Urban Canyon: GPS is a satellite based positioning system providing expansive coverage throughout the world. The GPS antenna must have a direct line of sight to the satellites. If that path is impaired (e.g. underground parking lots or the shadow of tall buildings), it can affect the ability of the Software and Services to recognize an accurate location. (c) Tampering with the Unit: If the Unit is tampered with, disconnected, or the Unit completely removed, the functionality of the Units, Services, and Software will be jeopardized. (d) Damage to the Unit: If the Unit is damaged or disconnected the functionality of the Units, Services and Software will be jeopardized. (e) Rights and Access to the Unit: If You lose your rights to use the Unit or access to the Unit for any reason, including without limitation as a result of the Unit or the vehicle in which it installed being repossessed, sold, transferred or otherwise taken from your custody or control, Services and Software will be unavailable and this Agreement is subject to immediate termination (f) Privacy: The Units, Services, and Software have many complex elements and are not guaranteed against eavesdroppers, hackers, denial of service attacks, viruses or interceptors. You acknowledge and agree, and undertake to inform any users of the Units, Services, and Software, that Pioneer and any of its Service Providers will not be liable for any lack of privacy or security resulting from use of Pioneer products, Services, or Software. In addition, to the extent You have a privacy right in the location, characteristics, performance or operation of a vehicle equipped with a Unit, or in Your own location, You agree to voluntarily waive such right. (g) Availability of Cellular Technology/Mapping: Services are based on cellular technology which may become obsolete in the future as a result of changes in wireless technology or actions by telecom regulators with respect to cellular technology in mapping applications. In such event, Pioneer will have no obligation to issue a refund or furnish substitute services. In addition, Pioneer assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or inaccuracy of any maps upon which the Services are based. Maps and routing information provided by the Software and Services are based on map information available to Pioneer through third party Service Providers, which information may be out of date, inaccurate or incomplete. Information may not reflect road hazards, weather, construction, new roads or temporary restrictions or signs. You are solely responsible for exercising judgment, obeying traffic rules, laws and instructions and evaluating for Yourself whether it is safe and legal to follow and maps or routing information. (h) Capacity Limitation: You recognize that unusual concentrations of usage may occur in certain locations. Pioneer will incur no liability for its inability to provide adequate Services hereunder arising from or related to a lack of network capacity on the equipment which results from the aforesaid usage concentration, and nothing herein will require Pioneer to expend any capital to insure capacity for Your use of the Services and the Software; (i) Data Collection Limitation: You recognize that not all Units may be able to collect all data from every vehicle. Pioneer assumes no responsibility for Services and Software features that are unavailable for a particular vehicle or due to limitations introduced by improper installation of the Unit, (j) Mobile Device and Operating System Compatibility: You recognize that the rDrive software may not be compatible will all mobile devices or all operating systems, or versions of operating systems. It is Your sole responsibility to provide compatible hardware and software, and Pioneer assumes no responsibility for Services and Software features that are incompatible with Your mobile device; (k) Vehicle Make and Model Compatibility: You recognize that some or all features of the Software and Services may be unavailable based on the particular Unit installed in the vehicle and the particular make, model, and model year of the vehicle; and (l) Vehicle must be on in order for an incident (i.e. crash or accident) to be detected.

17. ARBITRATION: This Arbitration Provision describes when and how a claim may be arbitrated. A “claim” is any claim, dispute or controversy between You and Pioneer that in any way arises from or relates to this Agreement and includes: initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims; disputes based on contract, tort, fraud and other intentional torts (at law or in equity, including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief); disputes based on constitutional grounds or on laws, regulations, ordinances or similar provisions; and disputes about the validity, enforceability, arbitrability, or scope of this Arbitration Provision or this Agreement. IF YOU OR WE CHOOSE ARBITRATION,

• ANY CLAIM WILL BE DECIDED BY ARBITRATION AND NOT IN COURT OR BY A JURY TRIAL.
• DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL ARE LIMITED BY THE ARBITRATION RULES OF THE ARBITRATION ADMINISTRATOR.
• YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS IN A CLASS ACTION (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”).
• CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ONE BUYER MAY NOT BE JOINED WITH CLAIMS BY A CO-BUYER OR CO-SIGNER.
• OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Either You or Pioneer may require any claim to be arbitrated, except neither party is obligated to arbitrate a claim that is brought and maintained as an individual (as opposed to a class) claim and that involves an amount in dispute or claim for damages of less than $25,000. Arbitration begins when a party gives written notice to the other party of the intent to require arbitration. This notice may be given before or after a lawsuit has been started over the claim or with respect to other claims brought later in the lawsuit. Arbitration of a claim must comply with this Arbitration Provision and the applicable rules of the arbitration Administrator. We will not choose to arbitrate an individual claim that You bring against us in small claims court or Your state’s equivalent court, if any. If that claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, or if You modify the claim to seek class relief, we then may choose arbitration.

The arbitration Administrator will be the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, (800) 778-7879. If the AAA is unwilling to serve as the Administrator, the parties will attempt to agree upon a substitute Administrator. If the parties are unable to so agree, each will select one representative, and the two (2) representatives will select a third party, and the two (2) representatives and the third party will select the Administrator. Any arbitration hearing that You attend must take place at a location reasonably convenient to Your primary location.

You give up Your right to participate in a class action. This means that You may not be a representative or member of any class of claimants or act as a private attorney general in court or in arbitration with respect to any claim. Notwithstanding any other part of this Arbitration Provision, the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver must be determined only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If a court limits or voids the Class Action Waiver, then this entire Arbitration Provision (except for this paragraph) will be null and void.

An Administrator charges fees to administer an arbitration proceeding. This may include fees not charged by a court. When You choose an Administrator, You should carefully review the fees charged by the Administrator. Pioneer will pay these fees if required by applicable law or if otherwise necessary to ensure that this Arbitration Provision is enforceable. Pioneer will not ask You to pay or reimburse Pioneer for any fees Pioneer pays the Administrator. If Pioneer requires a claim to be arbitrated, Pioneer will pay or reimburse You for up to $1,000 in fees that would otherwise be charged to You by the Administrator. However, if either Pioneer or You require a Claim to be arbitrated, You may tell Pioneer in writing that You are unable to pay the fees charged by the Administrator or that You believe those fees to be excessively high. If You do so, Pioneer will pay or reimburse You for up to all of the fees that would otherwise be charged to You by the Administrator if your request is reasonable and in good faith. Each party must pay the expense of that party’s attorneys, experts, and witnesses, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration, unless applicable law and/or this Arbitration Provision provide otherwise.

In addition to the parties’ rights to obtain discovery under the arbitration rules of the Administrator, either party may submit a written request to the arbitrator to expand the scope for discovery normally allowable under the arbitration rules of the Administrator. The Arbitrator will have discretion to grant or deny that request. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In response to a timely request from either party, the arbitrator must provide a brief written explanation of the basis for any award. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. However, if the amount of the award exceeds $100,000 or is a “take nothing” award, a party can appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the Administrator, which must reconsider any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. Reference in this Arbitration Provision to the “arbitrator” means the panel of arbitrators if an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision has been taken. Subject to applicable law, costs of any appeal will be borne by the appealing party regardless of the outcome of the appeal. This Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state arbitration law. The arbitrator must apply applicable statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law, and applicable substantive law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator is authorized to award all remedies permitted by substantive law that would apply if the action were pending in court. This Arbitration Provision survives the repayment of all amounts You owe Pioneer, the transfer of this Agreement, and any bankruptcy by You, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable bankruptcy law. Except as provided above, if any part of this Arbitration Provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, this Arbitration Provision and the Agreement will remain enforceable. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Provision and the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of this Agreement or any other contract between You and Pioneer, this Arbitration Provision will govern. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending Pioneer written notice of your intent to do so by registered mail, provided You send the notice within ten (10) days of the date of this Agreement. If You are a corporation, partnership, association or other business or commercial entity, You agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph 17: (1) Pioneer will not pay any part of Your costs and expenses of arbitration unless ordered to do so by the arbitrator; (2) any arbitration under this Agreement will be held in Orange County, California; and (3) You will not have the right to opt out of this arbitration provision.
