related to the product arise.
What Happens If We Have A Dispute: Should a dispute or c

of the product, the terms of this Limited Warranty, or any serv
ice provided under the terms of this Limited Warranty (includ
ing any repair or replacement) (“Dispute”), You and Sony agr
ee that the Dispute shall be resolved exclusively through b
inding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND AND
MP-CL1A 3-MPA-011-01
30 EN
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 P
ROCEEDING WILL ONLY CONSIDER YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLA
IMS, AND BOTH PARTIES AGREE NOT TO HAVE ANY DISPU
TE 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 cou
rt or other similar court of limited jurisdiction, to the extent t
he 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 S
ony must make a written demand to the other for arbitration.
The Arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator. The a
rbitration will be administered in keeping with the Expedited
Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Suppl
ementary Proceedings for Consumer- Related disputes (“Rule
s”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), when app
licable and in effect when the claim is filed. You may get a co
py of AAA’s Rules by contacting AAA at (800) 778-7879 or visi
ting www.adr.org.
The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be share
d between You and Sony, but in no event shall Your fees ever
exceed the amount allowable by the special rules for Consume
rs Disputes provided for by AAA, at which point Sony will cove
r all additional administrative fees and expenses. This does n
ot prohibit the Arbitrator from giving the winning party their f
ees and expenses of the arbitration
MP-CL1A 3-MPA-011-01
when appropriate pursuant to the Rules. Unless You and Son
y agree differently, the arbitration will take place in the count
y and state where You live, and applicable federal or state la
w shall govern the substance of any Dispute during the arbit
ration. However, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
§ 1, et seq., will govern the arbitration itself and not any state l
aw on arbitration. The Arbitrator’s decision will be binding an
d 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

Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect t
he coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and You will c
