THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED

Some
jurisdictions do not
allow

exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

or allow limitations
on
how
long
an

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 (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.
