This Legal Notice, Disclosure, and Disclaimer (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement" or "Notice") is a legally binding instrument executed by and between the purchaser, end-user, consumer, or browser (hereinafter referred to as "Buyer," "You," or "Your") and Mint iPhones (hereinafter referred to as the "Company," "We," "Us," or "Our").

By visiting Our website, accessing Our materials, or purchasing, acquiring, or utilizing any hardware, consumer electronics, devices, accessories, or products (collectively, the "Products") offered for sale by the Company, Buyer explicitly acknowledges, covenants, and agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions, disclosures, and limitations set forth herein. If You do not agree to the terms of this Notice, You are strictly prohibited from purchasing or using the Products.

1. Manifest Status as an Independent Reseller and Non-Manufacturer Disclosure

1.1 Express Denegation of Manufacturer Status

The Buyer is hereby given express, unequivocal, and formal notice that Mint iPhones is a wholly independent commercial entity engaged solely in the retail resale and distribution of consumer electronics. The Company is not, under any circumstances, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), producer, designer, or fabricator of the Products sold.

1.2 Absolute Lack of Corporate Affiliation

All Products offered for sale by the Company are manufactured by third-party corporate entities (including, but not limited to, Apple Inc.). Mint iPhones is completely independent of, and maintains absolutely no corporate affiliation, joint venture, partnership, agency relationship, employment relationship, authorization, approval, or endorsement with the original manufacturers of the Products, their subsidiaries, or their authorized distribution networks.

1.3 Intellectual Property and Trademark Attribution

Any and all trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, product names, and copyrights appearing on the Products, packaging, or marketing materials (including, but not limited to, the terms "iPhone," "Apple," "iOS," and associated stylistic designs) are the exclusive, sole, and proprietary property of their respective third-party owners. The use of any third-party trademarks or brand names by Mint iPhones is strictly nominative, descriptive, and intended solely to identify the original manufacturing origin and compatibility of the secondary-market hardware being offered for resale. No transfer of intellectual property rights, licenses, or permissions is implied or executed under this Agreement.

2. Absolute "As-Is" and "With All Faults" Product Condition Disclosure

2.1 Secondary Market and Refurbished Status

The Buyer acknowledges and understands that the Products sold by the Company are secondary-market, pre-owned, used, or refurbished consumer electronics. Consequently, the Products may exhibit varying degrees of aesthetic wear and tear, cosmetic imperfections, battery degradation, and previous usage history.

2.2 Strict Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND STATUTORY LAW, ALL PRODUCTS, HARDWARE, COMPONENTS, AND ACCESSORIES SOLD BY MINT iPHONES ARE PROVIDED, TRANSFERRED, AND DELIVERED TO THE BUYER STRICTLY ON AN "AS-IS," "WHERE-IS," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS.

The Company hereby expressly, textually, and completely disclaims, waives, and negates any and all warranties, representations, guarantees, or covenants of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, oral, written, or arising by operation of law, usage of trade, course of dealing, or course of performance, including but not limited to:

• Any implied warranty of merchantability (fitness for the general purpose for which such goods are ordinary used);
• Any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or specific consumer requirement;
• Any implied warranty of title, quiet enjoyment, or non-infringement of third-party intellectual property rights;
• Any implied or express warranty regarding the aesthetic perfection, battery capacity, cellular network compatibility, software functionality, or operational longevity of the hardware.

2.3 Assumption of Risk by Buyer

The Buyer assumes the entire, absolute, and exclusive risk as to the performance, quality, functionality, operation, security, and condition of the purchased Products. Should the Products prove defective, non-functional, or operationally deficient in any manner subsequent to the execution of the purchase, the Buyer—and not the Company—assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, restoration, or correction.

3. Exclusion of Third-Party Manufacturer Warranties and Software Support

3.1 Voidance of OEM Warranties

The Buyer is explicitly cautioned that because the Products are sold via secondary-market resale channels, any original manufacturer warranties, service contracts, or supplementary protection plans (including, but not limited to, AppleCare or original OEM limited warranties) may be expired, void, terminated, unassignable, or otherwise unavailable to the Buyer. The Company makes no representations or representations whatsoever concerning the status, validity, or transferability of any such third-party manufacturer protection plans.

3.2 Software, Firmware, and Operating System Updates

The Company exercises no control over, and explicitly disclaims all liability regarding, the software, firmware, operating systems, and network ecosystem of the Products. The original manufacturer may, at its sole discretion, terminate software updates, patch support, security definitions, or application compatibility for older hardware models. The Company shall not be held liable if a Product becomes incompatible with third-party applications, cellular networks, carriers, or updated operating system software versions.

4. Comprehensive Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

4.1 Exclusion of Consequential and Incidental Damages

IN NO EVENT AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY—WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, STATUTORY VIOLATION, BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE—SHALL MINT iPHONES, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO THE BUYER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.

• Business interruption or operational downtime;
• Personal injury, property damage, or catastrophic hardware failure;
• Any financial loss arising out of or in connection with the purchase, use, inability to use, or operational failure of the Products.

4.2 Aggregate Liability Ceiling

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained within this Agreement, or any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy, the aggregate, maximum cumulative liability of Mint iPhones arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the sale of any Product shall be strictly limited to, and shall not exceed, the exact purchase price actually paid by the Buyer to the Company for the specific individual unit of hardware giving rise to the alleged claim.

4.3 Indemnification Covenant

The Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify, protect, and hold completely harmless Mint iPhones, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, directors, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, lawsuits, judgments, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal costs) arising out of, or resulting from, the Buyer's improper use, unauthorized modification, or resale of the Products.
