COMODO SSL RELYING PARTY WARRANTY

The relying party warranty set forth herein (the "Relying Party Warranty") may provide an avenue of relief to people whose reliance on a Comodo-issued digital certificate results in a loss of money due to a fraudulent charge to their credit card by the holder of a Comodo digital certificate. If Comodo was negligent in issuing a digital certificate that resulted in a loss to a Relying Party ("you"), you may be eligible to receive up to US$1,000 per incident, subject to a maximum aggregate limit of $10,000 USD or $250,000 USD (as applicable) for all claims related to that digital certificate. The terms and conditions of the Relying Party Warranty are as follows.

1. Application

Before taking any action in connection with or relying in any way on a Comodo Digital Certificate (as defined below), you must read and agree to the Relying Party Agreement.

2. Definitions

The capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the following meanings, unless otherwise specified: "Digital Certificate" means an encrypted electronic data file (conforming to the X509 version 3 ITU-T standard) issued by Comodo in order to identify a person or entity or to provide SSL encryption using a Digital Signature or entity and which contains the domain name or identity of the person authorized to use the Digital Signature and a copy of their Public Key, a serial number, a time period during which the Digital Certificate may be used and a Digital Signature issued by Comodo. "Comodo CPS" means the Certification Practice Statement released by Comodo, as amended from time to time, which may be accessed from https://www.Comodo.com/repository/cps.html. "Subscriber" means a person who is issued a Digital Certificate signed by Comodo and who has entered into a Comodo Subscriber Agreement.

3. Relying Party Warranty Terms

3.1. Subject to the provisions herein, Comodo warrants solely for the benefit of Covered Persons (as defined below) that Comodo and its third party vendors have exercised reasonable care to perform the validation steps set forth in the appropriate Comodo CPS in issuing a Digital Certificate (the "Comodo Warranty").

3.2. If a Covered Person suffers monetary losses resulting directly from an online credit card transaction made with a Subscriber of a Comodo Digital Certificate, and the Covered Person fulfills all obligations described herein, Comodo will pay to the Covered Person, subject to the Payment Limits, Max Transaction Values, Incident Limit and exceptions described below, the amount fraudulently charged to the Covered Person's credit card by the Subscriber. This Comodo Warranty applies only if the Subscriber's Digital Certificate that was relied upon by the Relying Party was issued by Comodo in violation of the Comodo Warranty described herein, and only if the losses were monetary losses from an online credit card transaction.

4. Payment Limit

4.1. Comodo Digital Certificates. Each Comodo SSL certificate carries an aggregate maximum payment limit (the "Payment Limit") and a maximum transaction value ("Max Transaction Value") as described in the table below and the Comodo Certificate Subscriber Agreement, for all claims paid in connection with these Digital Certificates.

4.2. Incident Limit. A Covered Person may only receive a maximum payment of $1,000 per online transaction ("Incident Limit") for which the Covered Person claims there was a breach of the Comodo Warranty (each an "Incident"). If multiple Covered Persons are affiliated as to a common entity, then those multiple Covered Persons collectively are eligible to receive a maximum amount of $1,000 per Incident. Any payments to Covered Persons shall decrease by an amount equal to the sum of such payments the relevant Aggregate Limit available to any party for future payments for any claims relating to that Digital Certificate. For example, if a Digital Certificate carries a Payment Limit of $10,000, then Covered Persons can receive payments in accordance with this warranty for up to $1,000 per Incident until a total of $10,000 has been paid in the aggregate for all claims by all parties related to that Digital Certificate. Upon renewal of any Digital Certificate, the total claims paid for such Digital Certificate shall be reset to zero dollars.
