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 properjurisdiction 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.
