Alternate Claim Dispositions. (a) In some instances, in lieu of authorizing the repair or replacement services for a claim made under this Agreement, we will elect to remit a payment to you as the final disposition of the subject claim (hereinafter a “Claim Buyout”). The decision to elect a Claim Buyout rather than replacing or repairing Items is solely our option. The Claim Buyout amount will be strictly calculated based on: (i) our costs for the parts required to repair the Item to return it to Proper Operating Condition; or (ii) our costs to replace Items; and (iii) our estimated labor costs for our in-network Service Professional to perform the repair or replacement services.
