23. EXCULPATORY CLAUSE: The parties agree that WNC is not an insurer and no insurance coverage is offered herein. Subscriber's payments to WNC are for the installation, rental and service of a personal emergency response system designed to reduce certain risks of loss, though WNC does not guarantee that no loss will occur. WNC is not assuming liability and therefore shall not be liable to Subscriber for any loss or injury sustained by Subscriber as a result of any cause whatsoever, regardless of whether or not such loss or injury was caused by or contributed to by WNC's negligent performance to any degree or failure to perform any obligation or strict products liability. Subscriber releases WNC from any claims for contribution, indemnity or subrogation.

24. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: The parties agree that the personal emergency response system is not designed or guaranteed to prevent any loss or injury. If, notwithstanding the terms of this agreement, there should arise any liability on the part of WNC as a result of any cause whatsoever, regardless of whether or not such loss, damage, or personal injury was caused by or contributed to by WNC's negligence to any degree or failure to perform any obligation or strict products liability, such liability will be limited to an amount equal to six (6) times the monthly payment paid by the Subscriber to WNC at the time such liability is fixed, or to the sum of $250.00, whichever is greater. If Subscriber wishes to increase WNC's maximum amount of such limitation of liability, Subscriber may, as a matter of right, at any time, by entering into a supplemental agreement, obtain from WNC a higher limit by paying an additional amount consonant with the increase of liability. This shall not be construed as insurance coverage.

25. PERSONAL MEDICAL DISCLOSURE AUTHORIZATION: Any medical or other personal information provided by subscriber to WNC may be disclosed by WNC to any personal emergency response personnel or medical personnel requesting same.

26. CONFLICTING DOCUMENTS. Should there arise any conflict between this agreement and Subscriber's purchase order or other document, this agreement will govern, whether such purchase order or document is prior to or subsequent to this agreement.

27. FULL AGREEMENT/SEVERABILITY. This agreement constitutes the full understanding of the parties and may not be amended or modified or canceled except in writing signed by both parties. This contract shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina. Should any provisions of this agreement be deemed void, all other provisions will remain enforceable.
