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 AM's Rules by contacting AM 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.
IF YOU
DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY
THE
BINDING
ARBITRATION
PROVISION,
THEN:
(1) You must notify Sony in writing within 30
days of the date that You purchased the product; (2) Your written notification must be mailed to Sony
Electronics
Inc.,
16535 Via
Esprillo,
MZ 1105, San Diego CA
92127, Attn: Legal Department; AND (3) Your written notification must include (a) Your NAME, (b) Your ADDRESS, (c) the DATE You purchased the product, and (d)
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.
