For purchases made in the

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
tor 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 tiling 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 tees 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:
