“Whether or not related to Consumertronics business, any visit to our facilities which is not with our clear, written, prior permission, or so permitted by us based on a fraudulent, erroneous or deceptive representation by the visitor, is an unauthorized visit which automatically results in a non-refundable Unauthorized Visitor Fee (UVF) for each visitor and for each visit for which the visitor assumes total personal liability for paying. The amounts of the UVFs are set by us based on our perception of the real and potential injury to us caused by the visitor and visit, as well as the amount of our time and inconvenience for the unauthorized visit. The UVF amounts may vary between $0 and $1,000,000+ per visitor per visit. UVF fees are independent and separate from all other fees, charges and costs the unauthorized visitor may be required to pay.”
