AT&T, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS DESIGNEES, VENDORS AND SUPPLIERS DO NOT GUARANTEE AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVAL OF INFORMATION ON THE DEVICE. After Device return, all Device information is not recoverable.
6. The condition, specifications, and other representations you have provided regarding the Device are accurate.

10. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AT&T, ITS VENDORS AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR MORE THAN THE AT&T APPRAISED VALUE OF THE RETURNED DEVICE.
11. You have wireless service under a separate Consumer Service Agreement, Wireless Customer Agreement or an AT&T business or government agreement (in any case the “Service Agreement”). Except as prohibited by applicable law, the Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration and Arbitration Agreement provisions or other dispute resolution provisions of your Service Agreement are incorporated by reference in this Agreement and will survive termination of your Service Agreement. Accordingly, ALL disputes under this Agreement shall be resolved by the dispute resolution provisions in your Service Agreement.
12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by calling the customer service department at 1-800-331-0500 (or any alternative customer service number we may provide to you from time to time). In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve a complaint You may have to Your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute we have with You after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through the dispute resolution provisions in Your Service Agreement. If Your Service Agreement includes an arbitration provision, we agree to resolve all disputes in binding arbitration or small claims court in accordance with that arbitration provision.
13. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same individual damages and individual relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis, without class, representative, or private attorney general proceedings. See att.com/disputeresolution for more details.
