Justice, BURNETT.
We agreed to answer the following questions certified by the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina:
I. Does State Farm’s South Carolina automobile policy obligate it to compensate an insured making a comprehensive or collision claim for any diminution in market value where there is no dispute that the vehicle was adequately restored to its pre-accident level of performance, appearance, and function?
II. If the answer to the previous question is yes, is Plaintiff bound by the appraisal provision within the insurance policy?
