DURATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE

ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ON THIS PRODUCT IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages,

lasts,
so the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to You

This Limited Warranty gives You specific legal rights and You may have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
For purchases made in the
U.S.:
Read the following Dispute Resolution/Arbitration provision
carefully.
It details Your rights and instructions should a
dispute related to the product arise.
What Happens If We Have A
Dispute:
Should a dispute or claim arise related to the
product,
Your purchase and/or use of the
product,
the terms of this Limited
Warranty,
or any service provided under the terms of this Limited Warranty (including any repair or replacement)
("Dispute"),
You and Sony agree that the Dispute
shall be resolved exclusively through binding
arbitration.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU ARE
GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) IN ANY DISPUTES IN
COURT.
You also agree that ANY
DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL ONLY CONSIDER YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS, AND BOTH PARTIES AGREE NOT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE
HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE
ACTION,
CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATIORNEY GENERAL ACTION. Despite the
above,
You
have the right to litigate any Dispute on an individual basis in small claims
court
or other similar court of limited
jurisdiction,
to the extent the amount at issue does
not exceed
$15,000,
and as
long
as such court has proper jurisdiction and all other requirements (including the amount in controversy) are satisfied.
Arbitration Instructions. To begin Arbitration, either You or Sony must make a written demand to the other for
arbitration.
The Arbitration will take place before a single
arbitrator.
The arbitration will be administered in keeping with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Proceedings
for Consumer-Related disputes ("Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), when applicable and in effect when the claim is filed
.
You may get a copy
of AAA's Rules by contacting AAA at (800) 778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org
.
The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between You and
Sony,
but in no event shall Your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the special rules for Consumers Disputes provided for by
AAA,
at which point Sony will cover
all additional administrative fees and
expenses.
This does not prohibit the Arbitrator from giving the winning party their fees and expenses of the arbitration when
appropriate pursuant to the Rules. Unless You and Sony agree
differently,
the arbitration will take place in the county and state where You live, and applicable federal
or state law shall govern the substance of any Dispute during the arbitration. However, the Federal Arbitration
Act,
9
U.S.
C.§
1,
et seq.
,
will govern the arbitration itself
and not any state law on arbitration. The Arbitrator's decision will be binding and
final,
except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.
