11The arbitration shall be conducted according to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules applicable to consumer disputes. The AAA Rules are available online at or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The laws of the State of Texas, without reference to its choice of law principles, shall govern the interpretation of the Agreement and all disputes that are subject to this Agreement. The arbitrator shall decide all issues of interpretation and application of this Agreement.For any arbitration in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less (“Small Claim”), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs as part of any award, but may not grant Samsung its attorney fees, expert witness fees or costs unless it is determined that the claim was brought in bad faith. In a Small Claim case, you shall be required to pay no more than half of the total administrative, facility and arbitrator fees, or $50.00 of such fees, whichever is less, and Samsung shall pay the remainder of such fees. Administrative, facility and arbitrator fees for arbitrations in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert witness fees, exceed $5,000.00 (“Large Claim”) shall be determined according to AAA rules.
12In a Large Claim case, the arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion among the parties, reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs to the extent allowed by the applicable law. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction.This Agreement also applies to claims against Samsung’s employees, representatives, parents and other afliates if any such claim relates in any way to or arises in any way from the Standard Limited Warranty or the Product’s sale, condition or performance.

It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
17These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations: the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientic and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum reported value.
18This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the device.Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certied to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

If the device feels hot to the touch, discontinue use and close all applications or turn off the device until it cools. Always ensure that the device has adequate ventilation and air ow. Covering the device can signicantly affect air ow, may affect the performance of the device, and poses a possible risk of re or explosion, which could lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to property. Covering the device can trap any dissipating heat and redirect it back to the device while it’s active. Although the device might not currently be in full use, background applications and functions can generate heat that can accidentally be trapped when covered.

The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices) varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the headphones that are used. As a result, there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of sound, settings and equipment.Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientic research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and devices, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss
26and potential hearing problem varies. Additionally, the amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the headphones that are used. As a result, there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of sound, settings, and equipment.Here are some common recommendations when using your device:• Use of headphones or earbuds while driving may be prohibited or restricted in your area; check local laws and regulations.• Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into a device.• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.• Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, not realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to your hearing.• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
27• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background noise. By blocking background noise, noise-cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than when using earbuds.• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected.• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, if speech sounds muffled, or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.You can obtain additional information on this subject from the following sources:American Academy of Audiology Phone: (800) 222-2336 or 703-790-8466Email: infoaud@audiology.org
