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.
Opt-Out Instructions.

YOU
DO
NOT

of
the date that

a clear statement that "YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH
ANY
SONY
ELECTRONICS ENTITY THROUGH ARBITRATION AND/OR BE BOUND
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.
