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.
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer goods:
The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et seq],
The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C §§2101 et seq], and
The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act [15
USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703]. A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a
written promise that the product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair,
or replace defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies include damages for failing
to honor a written warranty or service contract or for violating disclosure provisions. [See
15 USC §2310(d).] Except for some labeling and disclosure requirements, the federal Act
does not preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]
LG offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed subscriber unit and its enclosed accessories
will be free from defects in material and workmanship, according to the following terms and
conditions:
(1) The limited warranty for the product extends for TWELVE (12) MONTHS beginning on the date
of purchase of the product with valid proof of purchase, or absent valid proof of purchase,
FIFTEEN (15) MONTHS from date of manufacture as determined by the unit’s manufacture
date code.
(2) The limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the product and is not
assignable or transferable to any subsequent purchaser/end user.
(3) This warranty is good only to the original purchaser of the product during the warranty period
as long as it is in the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories and Canada.
(4) The external housing and cosmetic parts shall be free of defects at the time of shipment and,
therefore, shall not be covered under these limited warranty terms.
(5) Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide information to reasonably prove the date
of purchase.
(6) The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the product to the Customer Service Department
of LG. LG shall bear the cost of shipping the product back to the consumer after the
completion of service under this limited warranty.
(1) Defects or damages resulting from use of the product in other than its normal and customary
manner.
(2) Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal conditions, improper storage, exposure to
moisture or dampness, unauthorized modifications, unauthorized connections, unauthorized
repair, misuse, neglect, abuse, accident, alteration, improper installation, or other acts which
are not the fault of LG, including damage caused by shipping, blown fuses, spills of food or
liquid.
(3) Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused directly by defects in material or
workmanship.
(4) That the Customer Service Department at LG was not notified by consumer of the alleged
defect or malfunction of the product during the applicable limited warranty period.
(5) Products which have had the serial number removed or made illegible.
(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied either in fact or by
operations of law, statutory or otherwise, including, but not limited to any implied warranty of
marketability or fitness for a particular use.
(7) Damage resulting from use of non LG approved accessories.
(8) All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed parts that are scratched or damaged due
to normal customer use.
(9) Products operated outside published maximum ratings.
(10) Products used or obtained in a rental program.
(11) Consumables (such as fuses).
LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund the purchase price of any unit that is
covered under this limited warranty. LG may choose at its option to use functionally equivalent
re-conditioned, refurbished or new units or parts or any units. In addition, LG will not re-install
or back-up any data, applications or software that you have added to your tablet. It is therefore
recommended that you back-up any such data or information prior to sending the unit to LG to
avoid the permanent loss of such information.
No other express warranty is applicable to this product. THE DURATION OF ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY OR
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION
OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY HEREIN. LG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE
USE OF THE PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR
ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow the exclusive limitation of incidental or consequential damages or
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts; so these limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.

in the continental United States:

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.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics
MobileComm U.S.A., 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.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.
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 specifically, 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 . 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 1000 Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict 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.
Fees/Costs.
You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written
demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek
more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the
AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration
and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this
arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses to the extent required by applicable law. If the arbitrator finds either the substance
of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose
(as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the
payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree
to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay
under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek
attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration
conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a
telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim
exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person
arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you
reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out.
You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG
can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice
to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of
the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to [email protected], with the subject line: “Arbitration
Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by
telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the
product
model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable
(the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can be found (i) on the product box; (ii) on a label on the back
of the product beneath the battery, if the battery is removable; or (iii) from the settings menu
via the following path: > > ). You may only opt out of the dispute
resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other
form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. 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 full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and
do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described
above.
