Submission Form Below
- I understand that an express mechanic`s lien is hereby acknowledged to secure payment. Should legal action be necessary to enforce collection, I will be responsible for all legal expenses

- I understand and agree that Silver Lining may provide my contact information to a third-party organization that may contact me for the sole purpose of conducting a customer satisfaction survey.
- LIMITED WARRANTY. Subject to the specified exclusions and exceptions, Silver Lining provides a limited warranty for the work performed under this Repair Authorization. This limited warranty includes all repairs, paint and workmanship on sheet metal, frame, unitized chassis components, and mechanical items, but specifically excludes electric systems. This limited warranty is subject to any manufacturer’s warranty covering parts and materials. This limited warranty is non-transferable and valid for as long as I own the vehicle. During the limited warranty period, Silver Lining will repair or replace any defects caused by Silver Lining or its agents. All warranty repairs must be performed at one of Silver Lining’s facilities; any repairs or alterations to the vehicle performed non-Silver Lining facility in any manner whatsoever shall automatically void this limited warranty. This limited warranty shall not apply to repairs necessitated by any cause beyond the reasonable control of silver Lining, including any defects, damage, or malfunctions caused by or resulting from unauthorized service or parts, improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance, alterations, accidents, modification or repairs, subsequent repairs performed by a party other than Silver Lining, abuse, misuse, neglect, acts of God, or environmental damage. THE WARRANTIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS SERVICE CONTRACT ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In no event shall Silver Lining be liable for consequential, special, or indirect damages of any nature, and Silver Lining’s maximum liability shall be no greater than the amount actually paid to, and received by, Silver Lining for the services performed on the vehicle.
- MANDATORY ARBITRATION. I agree that all claims and disputes relating to this Repair Authorization (including the arbitrability of any issue), shall be exclusively, solely, and finally settled by confidential arbitration in the state in which the repair was performed, in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act(9 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq.), and the then-existing rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). There shall be a single arbitrator. The filing costs shall be the sole responsibility of the party filing arbitration. If the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, then each party shall select one individual to choose an arbitrator and those individuals shall agree on the arbitrator within 10 days. The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in any award the specific performance of these terms and/or costs and expenses of the arbitration (including reasonable attorneys’fees) in accordance with what he or she deems just and equitable under the circumstances. The arbitrator’s decision may be reduced to a judgment in any competent jurisdiction.

THE PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS REPAIR AUTHORIZATION AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY INTEND FOR ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED ABOVE TO BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS REPAIR AUTHORIZATION. THE PARTIES SHALL SUBMIT ONLY THEIR OWN, INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AND WILL NOT SEEK TO REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS, AND NO CLAIMS WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR HEARD TOGETHER WITH THE CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS.
