Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11, we or any of our programming partners may prosecute violations of the foregoing against you and other responsible parties in any court of competent jurisdiction, under the rules and regulations of the FCC, and other applicable laws. Subscription to the Services does not grant you the right to use any of our or our partners' trademarks.

You may login to the Online Service from any compatible Web Device (as defined below), but not from more than one Web Device at any one time.

e) User Safety.
If you use the Services it is your responsibility to exercise prudent discretion and observe all safety measures required by law and your own common sense. You assume the entire risk related to your use of the Services. XM assumes no responsibility for accidents resulting from or associated with use of the Services. Your Radio Service includes traffic and weather information, and you acknowledge that such information is not for "safety for life", but is merely supplemental and advisory in nature, and therefore cannot be relied upon as safety-critical in connection with any aircraft, sea craft or automobile usage. This information is provided "as is" and XM disclaims any and all warranties, express and implied, with respect thereto or the transmission or reception thereof. XM further does not warrant the accuracy, reliability, completeness or timeliness of the traffic and weather information disclosed on the Radio Service. In no event will XM, its data suppliers, service providers, marketing/distribution, software or Internet partners or hardware manufacturers be liable to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages or lost profits resulting from use of or interruptions in the transmission or reception of the Services.

f) Stock Ticker Usage (only applicable with certain XM receivers).
Certain stock quote data on the Radio Service is the intellectual property of the relevant provider or third parties that provide such data to the relevant provider. All data is delayed by approximately 25 minutes. The data is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and all ownership rights remain with the relevant information service provider. All stock quotes with 4 or 5 character symbols are NASDAQ traded companies.

You may only use stock quotes retrieved from the Radio Service for your own personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not sell or otherwise make any stock quotes available to anyone else. You bear all risk from any use or results of using any stock quotes.

Transmission of stock quotes may be subject to arbitrary delays beyond our control. Neither XM nor any stock quote provider warrants the accuracy, reliability, completeness or timeliness of the stock quote data. You acknowledge that the information service provider will not be liable to you or any third party for any losses arising from such delay. In no event will any information provider or XM be liable to you for any loss or special, incidental, consequential, direct or indirect damages resulting from delay or loss of stock quotes on the Radio Service.

g) Channel Blocking and Monitoring.
Some programming may include explicit language. Channels with a high frequency of explicit language are indicated on your channel line-up and on the channel display with an "XL." It is your responsibility to impose listening restrictions that you consider appropriate on others. Please contact our Listener Care Center 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346), or visit our website XMRADIO.com for information on channel blocking. The Online Service is designed to appeal to a broad audience, and some programming may include explicit language. Channel blocking is not available with the Online Service; therefore it is your responsibility to impose listening restrictions that you consider appropriate on others.

h) Commercial Subscribers (Radio Service only).

1. In addition to the other terms of this Agreement, this paragraph applies if you use the Radio Service in a commercial establishment. Channels with a high frequency of explicit language are indicated on your channel line-up and on the channel display with an "XL." These channels may not be appropriate for the patrons of a commercial establishment. If you use the Radio Service in a commercial establishment, you must inform us promptly of any complaints you receive from any patron about the content of our Radio Service. It is your responsibility to impose listening restrictions that you consider appropriate on others and for your patrons. Please contact our Listener Care Center 1-888-689-2300 or visit our website XMRADIO.com for information on channel blocking. We reserve the right to block any channels from a commercial establishment based on listener complaints, FCC inquiry, negative publicity, or similar factors.
2. If you use only XM's Radio Service in a commercial establishment, you are not responsible for the payment of any copyright royalties to ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or for any sound recordings, as these are included in your subscription fee, unless you operate an establishment that charges an admissions or membership fee (e.g. a theme park, skating rink, dance club, health club, etc.) or use music sources other than XM's Services (e.g. CDs, DJs, live music or terrestrial radio, etc.), in which case you are responsible for payment of any copyright royalties to ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or for any sound recordings. Our subscription fees and other charges and fees are subject to change. Please do not include comments or questions with your payment. If paying against invoices, mail all payments to the following address:

i) Commercial Use Prohibited (Online Service only).
The Online Service is not intended for public use. It is intended for private use and enjoyment, and you are not permitted to use the Online Service for broadcast in a commercial establishment.

2. CHANGE IN TERMS.

Due to the evolving nature of our business, its competition, and the requirement and costs of programming suppliers, we reserve the right to change the terms on which we offer the Services from time to time, as we believe appropriate, including the fees and charges. If we make any such changes, we will send you a notice describing them and their effective date, in the manner described in Section 12(a), or we will send you an entirely new Agreement to replace this Agreement. You always have the right to cancel the Services at any time if these terms are not acceptable to you. If you elect not to cancel your Services after receiving our notice of a change, your continued receipt of Services from us will constitute acceptance of the changed terms. If you notify us that you do not accept such terms, then we may cancel your Services as provided in Section 8.

3. RADIO SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS.

Radio Service may be unavailable or interrupted from time to time for a variety of reasons, such as environmental or topographic conditions and other things we can't control. Radio Service might also not be available in certain places (e.g., in tunnels, parking garages, or within or next to buildings) or near other technologies. Home, portable and office-based receivers function best when the antenna is placed in or near a south-facing window with a clear view of the sky. Even if your antenna is near a south-facing window, certain window treatments could interfere with reception. We are not responsible for any interruptions of Radio Service that occur beyond our control.

4. ONLINE SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS.

Online Service availability may be limited or unavailable based on unavailability or difficulties with the Internet generally or your web browser, computer, home wiring, or Internet service provider and other things beyond our control. The Online Service is available at speeds of either 32 kbps or 64 kbps and functions best when streamed over a broadband connection. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to the Online Service and operation of the Online Service may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control.

a) Term.
The term of this Agreement is indefinite and Services will continue until canceled.

b) Your Cancellation.
You may cancel Services by notifying us. This notice will become effective at the end of your billing cycle. You are responsible for payment of all outstanding balances accrued through that effective date. We (or the creditor or lessor of your vehicle, if your Subscription Fee is included in the amount financed or leased) will refund amounts you may have prepaid on a quarterly, annual or multi-year basis representing those months beyond the billing cycle month during which you cancelled your service. Fees attributable to certain promotional offerings or Services received during trial periods may not be refunded. Service credits will not be refunded in cash, but will be honored in the form of Services for the remaining length of the credit.

c) Our Cancellation.
We may cancel your Services at any time if you fail to pay amounts owing to us when due, subject to any grace periods, for breach of any other material provision of this Agreement or for any other reason.

You must comply with all of the terms and conditions of this entire Customer Agreement or we may cancel your Services.

9. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION.

XM may collect personal information about your use of the Services that helps us customize our Services.

10. LIMITS ON OUR RESPONSIBILITY

a) DISCLAIMERS.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, WE MAKE NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE RADIO SERVICE OR YOUR XM RADIO. YOUR USE OF THE ONLINE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE CONTENT AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE ONLINE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ALL SUCH WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT) ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

b) LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES RELATING TO THE USE OR PURCHASE OF ANY XM RADIO OR ANY WEB DEVICE, THE RADIO SERVICE OR THE ONLINE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU AND ANY OTHER PERSONS RECEIVING OUR SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE, WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS THAT YOU HAVE PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE THAT YOU RECEIVED DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE SPECIFIC EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE APPLICABLE DAMAGE OR LOSS. THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK IS REFLECTED IN OUR PRICES. YOU MAY HAVE GREATER RIGHTS THAN DESCRIBED ABOVE UNDER YOUR STATE'S LAWS.

c) You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless XM from and against any claims arising out of your use of the Services and any breach by you of this Agreement. This indemnification obligation includes the acts or omissions of anyone accessing the Online Service using your Login ID, with or without your permission.

11. RESOLVING DISPUTES.

In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, you agree that any legal or equitable claim relating to this Agreement, or the Services (referred to as a "Claim") will be resolved as follows:

1. Informal Resolution.
   We will first try to resolve any Claim informally. Accordingly, neither of us may start a formal proceeding (except for Claims described in Section 11(c)) for at least 60 days after one of us notifies the other of a Claim in writing. To initiate a claim, you must send notice to the address on the first page of this Agreement. If XM initiates a claim, we will send our notice to the billing address on file with us.
2. Formal Resolution.
   Except as provided in Section 11(c), if we cannot resolve a Claim informally, any Claim either of us asserts will be resolved only by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules") that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement will govern. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If you initiate an arbitration, you agree to pay a fee of $125 or, if less and you tell us in writing, the amount that you would pay to initiate a lawsuit against us in the appropriate court of your state. We agree to pay any additional fee or deposit required by the American Arbitration Association in excess of your filing fee. We also agree to pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding up to a maximum of one-half day (four hours) of hearings. Other fees, such as attorney's fees, expenses or travel to the arbitration and the costs of a proceeding that goes beyond one-half day will be with AAA rules. The arbitration will be held at a location within 100 miles of your residence unless you and we both agree to another location. To start the arbitration, you or we must do the following things:
   1. Write a demand for arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered;
   2. Send three copies of the demand for arbitration plus the appropriate filing fee to: American Arbitration Association, 601 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 700, Washington, D.C. 20004;
   3. Send one copy of the demand for arbitration to XM SATELLITE RADIO INC. In the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Otherwise, the arbitrator's decision is final and binding on all parties and may be enforced in any federal or state court that has jurisdiction. A court may sever any portion of this Section 11 that it finds to be unenforceable.
3. Exceptions.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing:
   1. any dispute over the validity of either party's intellectual property rights or our licenses to operate our business;
   2. any Claim based on Section 11(b) above; and
   3. any dispute involving a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C. §605, or the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2521, may be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction.
   Nothing in this Agreement shall affect our ability to terminate your Services for non-payment of amounts owed to us when due. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from bringing an action in a court of competent jurisdiction in order to collect any unpaid amounts.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

a) Notice.
Notices to you will be deemed given when deposited in the mail or on the date that an e-mail is sent. Mailed notices may be included in our statements or emails to you. We may also provide notice to you by telephone, which will be deemed given when a message is left with you or someone answering the telephone at your residence or commercial establishment. Your notices to us will be deemed given when we receive them at the address (regular or e-mail) or telephone number set forth on the first page of this Agreement.

b) Applicable Law.
The interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, other applicable federal laws, and the laws of the state and local area where Service is provided to you. This Agreement is subject to modification if required by such laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 11 shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

c) Assignment of Account or Agreement.
We may assign your account or this Agreement and all rights and/or obligations hereunder to any third party without notice for any purpose, including without limitation collection of unpaid amounts, in the event of an acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger or sale of substantially all of the party's assets to another entity. You hereby consent to such assignment. You must continue making all required payments to us in accordance with your billing statement, unless notified otherwise.

d) Other.
This Agreement states our entire agreement. No salesperson or other representative is authorized to change it for you, although XM may modify it without prior notice to you (see Section 2). If any provision is declared by a competent authority to be invalid, that provision will be deleted or modified to the extent necessary, and the rest of this Agreement will remain enforceable. The specific terms of this Agreement that expressly or by their nature survive termination shall continue thereafter until fully performed.
