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, or allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty
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 ATTORNEY 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
(BOO)
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.
Opt-Out Instructions. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, THEN: (1) You

BY THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER:'
Opting
out of
this
dispute
resolution
procedure will not
affect
the coverage
of
the
Limited Warranty in
any
way,
and
You will
continue
to
enjoy
the
benefits of the Limited Warranty.
