WARRANTY (CANADA)
WARRANTY (CANADA)
ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION
THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD
OF IN COURT, UNLESS THE LAWS OF YOUR PROVINCE OR TERRITORY DO NOT PERMIT
THAT, OR, IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS, IF YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT. IN ARBITRATION,
CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS ARE NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE THE SECTION
TITLED “PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES” BELOW.
PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT
SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A
COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, YOU AND LG
BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics Canada,
Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees,
agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to
“dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever
(whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any
other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or
performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must
first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter
to LGECI Legal Team at 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario, Canada M9L 2X6 (the “Notice of
Dispute”). You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably
resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify
the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief
being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days of LG’s receipt of
the Notice of Dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the
procedure set out herein. You and LG both agree that, during the arbitration proceeding, the
terms (including any amount) of any settlement offer made by either you or LG will not be
disclosed to the arbitrator until the arbitrator determines the dispute.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute
during the 30 day period after LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you and LG agree to resolve
any claims between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt
out as provided below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause
in the circumstances of the claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will
only apply if you expressly agree to the arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law,
any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving
any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the
foregoing, except to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at law, any dispute between
you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative
action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but
that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to
the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it
relates to the claims at issue between you and LG.
