That's a disclaimer of liability, not an NDA. It says "you can't sue us", not "you can't talk about it".

This is specifically to avoid court arguments that the free repair is an admission of guilt (which, yes, is the kind of thing that happens in civil cases).

If you read my comment, you'll note that I'm merely quoting a part of the agreement. The full agreement is linked in case you're curious about the NDA terms.

There have been quite a few commenters that haven't bothered to read even my short comment, let alone the (also rather short) agreement, yet still felt qualified to determine that the NDA clauses aren't present. They are.

Personally, due to the overbroad scope I find these liability limiting clauses at least as objectionable as the NDA clauses.

"You agree to keep confidential" is the key phrase.
