3.4 Maximum Liability. In the event that Crystal Clean Car Wash is found liable for damage directly caused by the Company’s equipment or personnel, the Company’s maximum liability shall be limited to the actual documented cost of the specific service rendered to the Customer on the date of the incident.

3.5 Damage Claims. Any damage claim must be reported to a Company representative on-site before the Customer leaves the premises.
