29. WARRANTY CLAIM RELEASE OF LIABILITY

BY SUBMITTING A WARRANTY CLAIM AND RETAINING YOUR WARRANTY GLASSES UNTIL RECEIPT OF YOUR REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS NOT VSP’S STANDARD POLICY, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE FOLLOWING RELEASE.

SEEK THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF ITS EFFECT.

In consideration of Eyeconic ("VSP") allowing you (the "Releasor") to retain custody and control of your prescription glasses for which you have submitted a warranty claim for ("Warranty Glasses") and for which you are awaiting replacement glasses, you have agreed to the following release.

Associated Risks. Releasor has recently submitted a warranty repair claim to Eyeconic, Inc., a subsidiary of VSP, as a result of issues related to Releasor’s prescription eyewear. According to VSP’s normal policies and procedures related to warranty claims, Releasor has been advised that Warranty Glasses are to be sent to VSP before replacement glasses will be manufactured. However, Releasor has advised that due to exigent circumstances, Releasor must maintain custody and control over the Warranty Glasses until after the replacement glasses are made and sent to Releasor. Due to unforeseen risks in maintaining possession of and/or using the Warranty Glasses, Releasor has been advised that he/she will assume all risks in maintaining custody and control of the Warranty Glasses, along with any and all risks in any use of them from the time of the warranty claim until date of return ("Risks").

Assumption of the Risks. Releasor hereby freely assumes all Risks identified herein as well as other risks associated with the continued possession and/or use of the Warranty Glasses, to include any harm, injury or loss that may occur to Releasor or to a third-party, as a result of his/her possession and/or use of the Warranty Glasses.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY: Releasor hereby RELEASES VSP, its employees, agents, and officers ("the Released Parties") FROM ALL LIABILITIES, CAUSES OF ACTION, CLAIMS AND DEMANDS that arise in any way from any injury, death, loss or harm related to the continued possession and/or use of the Warranty Glasses, whether in Releasor’s custody or in the custody of a third-party to whom Releasor provided the Warranty Glasses to, that occur to Releasor or to any other person. This RELEASE includes claims for the negligence of the Released Parties. This RELEASE does not extend to claims for gross negligence, intentional or reckless misconduct, or any other liabilities that California law does not permit to be excluded by agreement. Releasor also agrees NOT TO SUE or make a claim against the Released Parties for death, injuries, loss or harm that occurs as a result of the continued possession and/or use of the Warranty Glasses as discussed herein.

INDEMINIFICATION HOLD HARMLESS AND DEFENSE: Releasor agrees to INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS AND DEFEND the Released Parties (defined above) against any and all claims to which this agreement applies, including claims for their own negligence or the negligence of others that are in possession of the Warranty Glasses. In accordance with these promises, Releasor will reimburse the Released Parties for any damages as a result of Releasor’s continued possession and/or use of the Warranty Glasses, reasonable settlements and defense costs, including attorney’s fees that they incur because of any such claims made against them.
