WARRANTY (USA)
WARRANTY (USA)
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 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:
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. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH
WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Denitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its parents,
subsidiaries and afliates, and each of their ofcers, directors, employees, agents, beneciaries, 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 rst notify LG in writing
at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn:
Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. 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, either party may proceed to le a
claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30
day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding
arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. 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 specically,
without limitation of the foregoing, 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.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for
arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted
before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration
is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are
available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this
provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to
LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.
If there is a conict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section
will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the
arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues
relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court
to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between
us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
