NOTE - PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR
RIGHTS AND THE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
Some jurisdictions do not allow mandatory arbitration pro- visions or class action waivers. In such jurisdictions, the following dispute resolution provisions do not apply. The Owner may have other rights that may vary by jurisdiction.
INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION NOTICE: BY PURCHASING EQUIPMENT OR MAKING A CLAIM UNDER THIS BASIC LIMITED WARRANTY, THE OWNER IS AGREEING THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN THE OWNER AND LENNOX WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AS MORE FULLY OUTLINED BELOW.
1 - Contact Lennox: Please report any Dispute (defined in items 1 and 2 on page 5) to:
ATTN: Consumer Affairs
P.O. Box 799900
Dallas, TX 75379-9900
2 - Mandatory Arbitration: Both the Owner and Lennox agree that all Disputes must be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, and not by a court or jury; however, the Owner or Lennox may assert claims in small claims court if (i) the claims qualify for small claims court, (ii) the matter remains in small claims court, and (iii) the matter proceeds only on an individual (not a class or representative) basis.
Both the Owner and Lennox waive the right to a trial by jury and any right to have a Dispute heard in court. Instead, all Disputes must be resolved in arbitration by a neutral third- party arbitrator. In arbitration, Disputes are resolved by an arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, discovery is more limited than in court, and the arbitrator’s decision is subject to limited review by courts. However, the arbitrator must follow the law and can award the same damages as in court, including monetary damages, injunctive relief, declaratory relief, and other relief. The arbitrator’s award can be confirmed in any court of competent jurisdiction.
A single arbitrator, with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), will conduct the arbitration, and the award may not exceed the relief allowed by applicable law. The arbitration will be conducted in the county of the Owner’s residence or other mutually agreed location. For claims of $50,000 or less, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for consumer- related Disputes will apply. For claims over $50,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. If either set of rules is not available, the AAA rules applicable to consumer Disputes apply. The AAA’s rules and a form initiating arbitration proceedings are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
This arbitration provision is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), which governs its interpretation and enforcement. To the extent the FAA does not apply to any Dispute, the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, will apply. The arbitrator will decide all issues of interpretation and application of this Dispute Resolution section, the arbitration provision, and this Basic Limited Warranty, with the exception of deciding whether the Arbitration Class Action Waiver in Paragraph 2a is valid or enforceable. Except as expressly stated in Paragraph 2a, a court will resolve any question regarding the validity or enforceability of Paragraph 2a. This Dispute Resolution section will survive termination of this Basic Limited Warranty. The requirement to arbitrate shall be broadly interpreted.
a - Arbitration Class Action Waiver (for all states other than California): The Owner and Lennox agree that arbitration will proceed solely on an individual basis and no Dispute will be arbitrated as a class action, consolidated with the claims of any other party, or arbitrated on a consolidated, representative, or private attorney general basis. Unless the Owner and Lennox agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make awards is limited to Disputes between the Owner and Lennox. The arbitrator’s award or decision will not affect issues or claims involved in any proceeding between Lennox and any person or entity who is not a party to the arbitration. The arbitrator may award monetary, declaratory, or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator’s award, if any, will not apply to any person or entity that is not a party to the arbitration.
A court, not the arbitrator, will decide any questions regarding the enforceability of this Paragraph 2a. If a court deems any portion of this Paragraph 2a invalid or unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision in Paragraph 2 (other than this sentence) will be null and void and not apply. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an arbitration occur on a class action or collective basis.
Arbitration Class Action Waiver (for California): The Owner and Lennox agree that arbitration will proceed solely on an individual basis and no Dispute will be arbitrated as a class action, consolidated with the claims of any other party, or arbitrated on a consolidated, representative, or private attorney general basis; provided, however, that the Owner shall be permitted to seek and obtain public injunctive relief in arbitration. Unless the Owner and Lennox agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make monetary damage awards is limited to Disputes between the Owner and Lennox. The arbitrator may award monetary relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator’s monetary award, if any, will not apply to any person or entity that is not a party to the arbitration. A court, not the arbitrator, will decide any questions or disputes regarding the enforceability of this Arbitration Class Action Waiver other than a dispute over whether this Arbitration Class Action Waiver is enforceable under McGill v. Citibank, N.A., 2 Cal 5th 945 (2017) and related case law (that question shall be determined by an arbitrator). If a court deems any portion of this Arbitration Class Action Waiver invalid or unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision (other than this sentence) will be null and void and not apply. If an arbitrator deciding the McGill issue finds that this Arbitration Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, then the entire arbitration provision (other than this sentence and the preceding sentence) shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an arbitration occur on a class action or collective basis.
b - Agency Proceedings: This arbitration agreement does not preclude the Owner from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Lennox on the Owner’s behalf.
c - Fees and Costs: If the Owner’s total damage claims in an arbitration are $25,000 or less, not including the Owner’s attorney fees (“Small Arbitration Claim”), the arbitrator may, if the Owner prevails, award the Owner’s reasonable attorney fees, expert fees, and costs (separate from Arbitration Costs as defined below), but may not grant Lennox its attorney fees, expert fees, or costs (separate from Arbitration Costs) unless the arbitrator determines that the Owner’s claim was frivolous or brought in bad faith. In a Small Arbitration Claim case, Lennox will pay all arbitration filing, administrative, and arbitrator costs (together, “Arbitration Costs”). The Owner must submit any request for payment of Arbitration Costs to the AAA at the same time the Owner submits its Demand for Arbitration. However, if the Owner wants Lennox to advance the Arbitration Costs for a Small Arbitration Claim before filing, Lennox will do so at the Owner’s written request which must be sent to Lennox at the address in paragraph 1. In a Small Arbitration Claim case, Lennox agrees that the Owner may choose to have the arbitration carried out based only on documents submitted to the arbitrator or by a telephonic hearing unless the arbitrator requires an in-person hearing. If the Owner’s total damage claim in an arbitration exceeds $25,000, not including the Owner’s attorney fees (“Large Arbitration Claim”), the arbitrator may award the prevailing party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, or it may apportion attorneys’ fees and costs between the Owner and Lennox (such fees and costs being separate from Arbitration Costs). In a Large Arbitration Claim case, if the Owner is able to demonstrate that the Arbitration Costs will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Lennox will pay as much of the Arbitration Costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.
d - Mass Arbitration (for residents outside of California only): A “Mass Arbitration” shall be defined as any one of the following: (i) the same lawyer or law firm, alone or with other lawyers or law firms, files or causes to be filed 30 or more Small Arbitration Claims and/or Large Arbitration Claims within a thirty-day period; (ii) the same lawyer or law firm, alone or with other lawyers or law firms, files or causes to be filed 50 or more Small Arbitration Claims and/or Large Arbitration Claims within a sixty-day period; (iii) the same lawyer or law firm, alone or with other lawyers or law firms, serves as counsel (regardless of whether the lawyer or law firm is counsel of record) for 30 or more persons who file a Small Arbitration Claim and/or Large Arbitration Claim within a thirty-day period; or (iv) the same lawyer or law firm, alone or with other lawyers or law firms, serves as counsel (regardless of whether the lawyer or law firm is counsel of record) for 50 or more persons who file a Small Arbitration Claim and/ or Large Arbitration Claim within a sixty-day period. In the event of a Mass Arbitration, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subpart (c) above, Lennox shall (i) not be required to advance or pay Arbitration Costs for any arbitration and (ii) may be awarded its reasonable attorney fees, expert fees, and costs if it prevails (without having to show that the Owner’s claim was frivolous or in bad faith). The immediately preceding sentence shall apply only to only those arbitrations that are filed once the definition of Mass Arbitration is met. Thus, by way of example, if the same law firm files 35 Small Arbitration Claims within a thirty-day period, the first 29 Small Arbitration Claims shall be governed by subpart 2(c) and the last six Small Arbitration Claims (i.e., arbitration numbers 30 through 35) shall be governed by this subpart 2(d). Once a law firm or lawyer is deemed part of a Mass Arbitration, all Small Arbitration Claims and Large Arbitration claims he/she/it files, assists in filing, or causes to be filed shall be governed by this subpart (d) unless and until the law firm or lawyer does not file, assists in filing, or causes to be filed any Small Arbitration Claims or Large Arbitration Claims for a period of one year.
e - OPT OUT: BOTH AN ORIGINAL AND SUBSEQUENT OWNER MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION PROVIDING WRITTEN NOTICE (“THE OPT-OUT NOTICE”) TO LENNOX that is post-marked no later than 30 calendar days after the Owner’s purchase of the equipment (in the case of the original owner) or purchase of the premises at which the equipment was originally installed (in the case of a subsequent owner). The Opt-Out Notice must be mailed to Lennox at:
ATTN: Consumer Affairs
P.O. Box 799900
Dallas, TX 75379-9900
The Opt–Out Notice must state (i) the Owner’s name and address, and that the Owner opts out of arbitration, (ii) the date that the Owner purchased the equipment (if the original owner) or the premises where the equipment was originally installed (in the case of a subsequent owner), (iii) the equipment’s model name and number, (iv) the equipment serial number (which can be found on the unit nameplate), and (v) that the Owner elects to opt out of arbitration. The Owner must sign the Opt-Out Notice personally and not through another person or entity, and the Opt-Out Notice will apply only to the person or entity that signs it. Neither the Owner nor any other person or entity can opt out of arbitration on behalf of anyone else. Providing a timely Opt- Out Notice is the only way to opt out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration will not affect this Basic Limited Warranty, and the Owner will continue to enjoy the benefits of this Basic Limited Warranty if the Owner opts out of arbitration. Any Opt-Out Notice received after the opt out deadline will not be valid.
3 - Non-Arbitration Class Action and Jury Waiver: If for any reason any Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Owner and Lennox waive any right to a jury trial, and the Dispute will proceed solely on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis. Neither the Owner nor Lennox may be a class representative or class member or otherwise participate in any class, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding; provided, however, that in California an individual can seek and obtain public injunctive relief.
4 - Severability: If any provision of this Basic Limited Warranty shall be held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the parties intend for that provision to be amended and construed in a manner designed to effectuate the purposes of that provision to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a provision cannot be so amended or construed, it will be severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain unimpaired, valid, and in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall be interpreted so as to best reasonably effect the intent of the parties. To the extent there is a conflict between this severability clause and the severability clause in paragraph 2(a), the clause in paragraph 2(a) shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, the severability clause shall not be used in a manner that permits the Owner to bring a class or collective action.
DEFINITIONSIn addition to the terms defined above, the following definitions will apply to this Basic Limited Warranty:
1 - The terms “Dispute” and “Disputes” will be broadly interpreted to include any claims, disagreements, or controversies that the Owner and Lennox had, have, or may have against each other, whether based in contract or tort or on a statute or regulation or any other legal theory, including, without limitation, all claims, disagreements, or controversies related in any way to or arising in any way out of:
- a - the Equipment and components covered by this Basic Limited Warranty;
- b - any other Lennox equipment, component, or service;
- c - any Lennox advertising, representation, or marketing;
- d - any contract, warranty, or other agreement the Owner had or has with Lennox;
- e - any Lennox billing or other policy or practice;

- h - any claims Lennox brings against the Owner; and
- i - any aspect of the relationship between the Owner and Lennox.
2 - “Dispute” and “Disputes” includes claims, disagreements, or controversies that arose at any time, including before this Basic Limited Warranty became operative and after this Basic Limited Warranty is terminated.
3 - “Lennox” refers to Lennox International Inc., and Lennox Industries Inc., as well as their parents, affiliated companies, related companies, subsidiaries, divisions, departments, business units, representatives, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns.
4 - “Basic Limited Warranty” refers to this document.
5 - “Owner” refers to (i) the person or entity that originally purchased the Equipment from a Lennox dealer or other licensed professional HVAC contractor; and (ii) during the Warranty Period, the owner(s) and subsequent owner(s) of the premises where the Equipment is originally installed.

WYW Eligible Equipment – WYW provides End Customers of WYW Eligible Equipment with the opportunity to select the type of extended limited warranty coverage they prefer (i.e., the default Extended Limited Warranty or the WYW Extended Limited Warranty), subject to any terms, conditions, and registration requirements that may apply:
Non-Registration Exempt End Customers of WYW Eligible Equipment – Non-Registration Exempt End Customers who purchase WYW Eligible Equipment are required to register to be covered by the Extended Limited Warranty or to select the alternative WYW Extended Limited Warranty. You (with Your End Customer’s consent and authority) or Your End Customer must register WYW Eligible Equipment within 60 days of the date of installation (existing homes) or closing date (new construction) to be “Covered Equipment” under the Extended Limited Warranty, to select the alternative WYW Extended Limited Warranty, and/or to purchase an ESA being sold via the Registration Site.

Registration Exempt End Customers of WYW Eligible Equipment – Registration Exempt End Customers who purchase WYW Eligible Equipment are not required to register for Extended Limited Warranty, and such equipment is automatically deemed Covered Equipment covered by the Basic Limited Warranty and Extended Limited Warranty. Further, Registration Exempt End Customers are permitted to select the WYW Extended Limited Warranty in lieu of the Extended Limited Warranty option at no additional charge (and further opt to purchase an ESA being sold via the Registration Site at an additional charge), so long as such selection is made within 60 days of the date of installation (existing homes) or closing date (new construction).
Other Lennox Equipment – Non-Registration Exempt End Customers who purchase Lennox Equipment that does not qualify as WYW Eligible Equipment must register their equipment on the Registration Site within 60 days of the date of installation (existing homes) or closing date (new construction) for any applicable extended limited warranty to apply or to purchase any ESAs being sold via the Registration Site in connection with such equipment, to the extent such equipment qualifies as ESA Eligible Equipment. Registration Exempt End Customers who purchase Lennox Equipment that does not qualify as WYW Eligible Equipment do not need to register for any applicable basic limited warranty or extended limited warranty to apply or to purchase an ESA being sold via the Registration Site, to the extent such Lennox Equipment qualifies as ESA Eligible Equipment (but any purchase of an ESA via the Registration Site must be made within 60 days of the date of installation (existing homes) or closing date (new construction)).

- If an End Customer purchases an ESA, clearly and conspicuously disclose to the End Customer prior to purchase: (a) that, if applicable, the Lennox Equipment comes with a Lennox Limited Warranty or other written limited warranty by Lennox at no charge subject to any terms, conditions, and registration requirements that may apply; (b) the cost of the ESA; and (c) a link to such ESA’s terms and conditions, including, without limitation, coverage and exclusions.

PART FIVE – COVERAGE
Covered Parts (WYW Only) – If, during the applicable parts warranty period under the Basic Limited Warranty or applicable Extended Limited Warranty (i.e., the Extended Limited Warranty or WYW Extended Limited Warranty), a Covered Component in Covered Equipment fails and is covered by the terms and conditions of such warranty, LENNOX will provide a free replacement component. The End Customer will be responsible for all its obligations under the applicable warranty.
Covered Parts (Outside of WYW) - If, during the applicable parts warranty period, a part contained within covered equipment fails and is covered by the terms and conditions of such warranty, LENNOX will provide a free replacement component. The End Customer will be responsible for all of its obligations under the applicable warranty.
Covered Labor (WYW Only) – For a labor Claim to be covered under the WYW Extended Limited Warranty, the following conditions must be met: (a) the labor must have been performed by You on Covered Equipment with WYW Extended Limited Warranty coverage; (b) the labor must have been necessary to repair or replace a Covered Component in Covered Equipment that is necessitated by a mechanical breakdown (except in the case of a labor-only claim for refrigerant leak repairs, in which case the labor will be covered (but the refrigerant will not)); (c) the repair must have been properly performed and the repair time must not exceed the maximum labor repair hours set forth in the Repair Times Matrix found at www.LennoxPros.com/WarrantyYourWay; (d) the repair must have occurred during the 3 year labor coverage period; and (e) no exclusion contained within the applicable Lennox Limited Warranty applies. Your participation in WYW precludes you from obtaining any other labor coverage from LENNOX. Any attempt to obtain double reimbursement - i.e. reimbursement under multiple programs – may result in immediate termination of Your right to participate in WYW.
If the above terms are met, LENNOX will, directly or through Service Net or LENNOX-authorized third party, pay you (via check or secure ACH payment) the amount of 1 trip/diagnosis charge equal to $65 and reimburse Your labor at a basic rate of $85 per hour not to exceed the maximum repair hours set forth in the Repair Times Matrix. Reimbursement rates are in local currency and run with the Covered Equipment.1
You cannot make a Claim for labor (both the trip/diagnosis charge and the hourly rate), and You will be fully liable for labor, if the labor occurred: (a) during the first 90 days following installation; or (b) within 30 days of completion of Dealer Services (60 days for leak searches and repairs) on the same part, even if LENNOX approves the underlying parts Claim. If You subsequently perform a repair within that 30/60 time period using a different part(s) on the same Covered Equipment, LENNOX will reimburse You at the hourly rate but not for the trip/diagnosis charge. Lennox shall be permitted to deny parts and/or labor coverage if any of the exclusions set forth in the Lennox Limited Warranty, or any other applicable warranty, applies.
Coverage Under ESAs – ESA terms and conditions, as well as exclusions, are set forth in the ESAs. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT LENNOX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY COVERAGE UNDER ANY ESA. YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY ESA ARE SOLELY BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THE ESA.
PART SIX – PRICING AND MARKETING
Pricing – The Lennox Limited Warranty, or any other applicable basic limited warranty or extended limited warranty, comes at no additional cost (subject to any terms, conditions, and registration requirements that may apply), and You shall not charge for such coverage (except in the case of authorized overtime charges or after-hours service). If You purchase a higher reimbursement level than the WYW Extended Limited Warranty, You are not permitted to charge in connection with such higher reimbursement level.
Pricing for ESAs – Service Net or any LENNOX-authorized third party selling ESAs through the Registration Site is responsible for setting the price that You will be charged for ESAs, which will be displayed on the Registration Website. You must provide End Customers with the itemized cost for an ESA before purchase and must offer End Customers the right to purchase Lennox Equipment, including, in the case of WYW, ESA Eligible Equipment, without an ESA.
Marketing Materials – LENNOX may provide You with LENNOX-approved marketing materials (the “LENNOX-Approved Marketing Materials”) to market WYW. You must use only LENNOX-Approved Marketing Materials when you market, sell, and advertise WYW.
PART SEVEN – MAKING A CLAIM FOR COVERAGE
A claim for coverage under any applicable LENNOX warranty (each, a “Claim”) must satisfy each of the following requirements:
- Be submitted by You through LennoxPros within 45 days of Covered Component failure.
- Contain all the information reasonably requested by LENNOX to determine whether the applicable warranty and/or coverage applies.
- If the return of the Covered Component is a condition to coverage, comply with the Lennox Warranty Return Policy. You can obtain the current version from the following link: https://www.lennoxpros.com/partner-resources/app/warranty-tools.
- Not be subject to an exclusion.
If a Claim is not properly submitted, Lennox will reject the Claim and deny coverage. If You are improperly credited for a Claim, Lennox has the right to offset any future amounts it owes You in the amount of such improper credit.
PART EIGHT – DENIED LABOR CLAIMS.
If You maintain an accurate e-mail address on file with LENNOX, LENNOX will, either directly or through a LENNOX-authorized third party, send e-mail updates to You on the status of any submitted Claims for Covered Labor under a WYW Extended Warranty. With respect to each Claim, such e-mail will provide whether the Claim has been approved (either full or partial) or denied.
You must dispute any partial approval or denial within 30 days of the date LENNOX sent You notice of a partial approval or denial by contacting LENNOX (either by e-mailing at warranty@lennox.com or calling at 1-800-4-LENNOX). If at any time during the claims process LENNOX or an authorized third party requests additional information to demonstrate the validity of the Claim, You must provide that information in writing within 20 days of the request. Lennox has the right to deny any Claim for which You fail to provide adequate, complete, and timely information.

The Indemnifying Party will advance and/or promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses it incurs in responding to or defending against any Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to select its own counsel and to control the litigation or other dispute resolution, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. An Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Third Party Claim; however, failure to provide prompt notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations except to the extent the Indemnifying Party suffers material prejudice as a result.
PART ELEVEN – LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
NEITHER YOU NOR LENNOX WILL BE LIABLE TO EACH OTHER FOR (I) ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR (II) BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DIMINUTION IN BUSINESS VALUE, OR HARM TO GOODWILL OR REPUTATION. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LOSSES ARE DIRECT LOSSES OR INDIRECT LOSSES; WHETHER ARISING FROM CLAIMS BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTORY OR REGULATORY VIOLATION OR OTHERWISE; AND EVEN IF YOU OR LENNOX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Nothing in this Limitation of Liability modifies an Indemnified Party’s right in Part Ten.
PART TWELVE – WARRANTY DISCLAIMER.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT LENNOX IS NOT PROVIDING YOU AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND ALL WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS WARRANTY DISCLAIMER INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, THE QUALITY, WORKSMANSHIP, AND PERFORMANCE OF ANY LENNOX EQUIPMENT.

PART THIRTEEN – DISPUTE RESOLUTION (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS).
NOTICE REQUIREMENT – A PARTY MUST PROVIDE THE OTHER PARTY WITH NOTICE OF ALL CLAIMS IN WRITING AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE AND IN NO CASE LATER THAN ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE ON WHICH THE CLAIM ARISES. ANY FAILURE TO PROVIDE NOTICE IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THIS TERM AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF THE CLAIM. THIS NOTICE REQUIREMENT IS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO ANY CLAIM BEING BROUGHT FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Mandatory Arbitration - Any dispute arising out of or relating this Agreement will be resolved according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration panel will consist of 3 members. LENNOX and You will each select 1 member and those 2 members will select the third. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas. The laws of the State of Texas govern this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law principles. This arbitration agreement does not preclude Dealer from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies. Such agencies can, if applicable Law allows, seek relief against LENNOX on Dealer’s behalf. The prevailing Party in any arbitration shall be awarded its (a) arbitration fees, costs and expenses; (b) reasonable expert fees, costs and expenses; and (c) reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses.
Arbitration Class Action Waiver (for all states other than California) – You and LENNOX agree that arbitration will proceed solely on an individual basis and no Dispute will be arbitrated as a class action, consolidated with the claims of any other party, or arbitrated on a consolidated, representative, or private attorney general basis. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make awards is limited to Disputes between You and LENNOX. The arbitrator’s award or decision will not affect issues or claims involved in any proceeding between LENNOX and any person or entity who is not a party to the arbitration. A court, not the arbitrator, will decide any questions or disputes regarding the enforceability of this Arbitration Class Action Waiver. If a court deems any portion of this Arbitration Class Action Waiver invalid or unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision (other than this sentence) will be null and void and not apply. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an arbitration occur on a class or collective basis.
Arbitration Class Action Waiver (for California) – You and LENNOX agree that arbitration will proceed solely on an individual basis and no Dispute will be arbitrated as a class action, consolidated with the claims of any other Party, or arbitrated on a consolidated, representative or private attorney general basis; provided, however, that You shall be permitted to seek and obtain public injunctive relief in arbitration. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make monetary damage awards is limited to Disputes between You and LENNOX. The arbitrator may award monetary relief only in favor of the individual Party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that Party’s individual claim. The arbitrator’s monetary award, if any, will not apply to any person or entity that is not a party to the arbitration. A court, not the arbitrator, will decide any questions or disputes regarding the enforceability of this Arbitration Class Action Waiver other than a dispute over whether this Arbitration Class Action Waiver is enforceable under McGill v. Citibank, N.A., 2 Cal 5th 945 (2017) and related case law (that question shall be determined by an arbitrator). If a court deems any portion of this Arbitration Class Action Waiver invalid or unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision (other than this sentence) will be null and void and not apply. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an arbitration occur on a class or collective basis.
Non-Arbitration Class Action and Jury Waiver – If for any reason any Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, You and LENNOX waive any right to a jury trial, and the Dispute will proceed solely on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis. Neither You nor LENNOX may be a class representative or class member or otherwise participate in any class, consolidated, private attorney general or representative proceeding.
Definition of “Dispute” – The term “Dispute” and “Disputes” shall be broadly interpreted to include any claims, disagreements, or controversies that You and LENNOX had, have or may have against each other, including, without limitation, all claims, disagreements, or controversies arising out of or relating to any LENNOX-manufactured products or equipment, any business dealings between You and LENNOX, this Agreement, or any LENNOX Limited Warranty.

1 In the event the original End Customer or installing dealer of the Covered Equipment purchased a higher reimbursement level, Dealer will be paid the respective hourly rate of the purchased level. For the avoidance of doubt, the labor rate is tied to the Covered Equipment not Dealer. In other words, if Dealer provides covered labor for Covered Equipment Dealer did not install, and the installing dealer did not purchase a higher reimbursement level, Dealer will be paid the basic rate of $85 per hour regardless of whether or not Dealer typically purchases a higher reimbursement level when it installs WYW Eligible Equipment.
