LIMITED WARRANTY ON MEDIA
In situations where the Sony Software or any part thereof is furnished on media,
Sony warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of its delivery to
you, the media on which the Sony Software is furnished to you will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This limited warranty
extends only to you as the original licensee. Sony’s entire liability and your exclusive

ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION LASTS,
SO THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY
FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments
requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft
navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines,
or weapons systems, in which the failure of the Sony Software could lead to death,
personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (“High Risk Activities”).
SONY, EACH OF THE THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR
CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES.
RESTRICTIONS ON EXPORT OF ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGY
The Sony Software and the Content may contain encryption technology. You
acknowledge that any export of Sony Software or the Content containing encryption
technology from the United States or subsequent re-export of such software by a
person located outside of the United States requires a license or other authorization
from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security. You further
acknowledge that the Sony Software or the Content containing encryption technology
and acquired from Sony is not intended for use by a foreign government end user. By
accepting this license agreement, you agree to abide by all relevant U.S. export laws
and regulations in the purchase and use of the Sony product being acquired,
including but not limited to those regulations relating to the export control of
cryptographic items and not to transfer, or authorize the transfer, of the Sony
Software or the Content to a prohibited country or otherwise in violation of any such
restrictions or regulations.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER
THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS ARISING
UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS EULA. Any cause of action you may have with respect to
the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action
arises.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT, NOTICE, WAIVER, SEVERABILITY
This EULA, the limited warranty accompanying the Sony Product, Sony’s then-current
privacy policy, and any additional terms and conditions posted on the Services,
together constitute the entire agreement between you and Sony with respect to the
Sony Product, the Sony Software, the Services, and the Content. Any notice by Sony
hereunder may be made by letter, e-mail, or posting on the Services. The failure of
Sony to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this EULA shall not constitute a
waiver of such right or provision. If any part of this EULA is held invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible
so as to maintain the intent of this EULA, and the other parts will remain in full force
and effect.
THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES
Each Third Party Licensor and each Third Party Provider is an express intended third-
party beneficiary of, and shall have the right to enforce, each provision of this EULA
with respect to the software, service, and content, as applicable, of such party.
TERM
This EULA is effective until terminated. Sony may terminate this EULA immediately if
you fail to comply with its terms by giving you notice. In such event, you must destroy
the Sony Software and accompanying documentation, and all copies you have made
of them. In addition, upon termination you will have no recourse against Sony, its
affiliates, its Third Party Licensors, or its Third Party Providers for your inability to use
the Sony Software or the accompanying documentation, the Services, or the Content.
DE-REGISTRATION OF YOUR DEVICE
Should you return your Sony Product to its place of purchase, transfer your Sony
Product in accordance with this EULA, or if this EULA is terminated, you agree to: (i)
de-register the Sony Product by deleting any and all accounts you may have
established on or have accessed through the Sony Product; and (ii) reset the Sony
Product to its original factory settings. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR
MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ANY ACCOUNTS YOU HAVE WITH THIRD
PARTIES AND ANY USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE OF
THE SONY PRODUCT.
RESOLVING DISPUTES; ARBITRATION; SMALL CLAIMS WAIVER
This EULA will not be governed or interpreted in any way by referring to any law
based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) or any other act
derived from or related to UCITA. Further, the United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this EULA.
If a Dispute arises, you agree to first give notice to us by contacting Sony Electronics
Inc. at 16530 Via Esprillo, San Diego, California 92127, Attn: Legal Department, and
engaging in good faith negotiations to attempt to resolve any Dispute for at least 14
days, except that you or Sony (or any of its affiliates) may skip this informal
negotiation procedure for Disputes enforcing, protecting, or concerning the validity
of intellectual property rights. “Dispute” is defined as any disagreement, cause of
action, claim, controversy, or proceeding between you and any Sony entity related
to or arising out of the Sony Product, Sony Software, Sony Services & Content or this
EULA. Dispute is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.
ANY DISPUTE THAT IS NOT RESOLVED THROUGH THE INFORMAL NEGOTIATION PROCESS DESCRIBED
ABOVE SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION.
To begin arbitration, either you or we must make a written demand to the other for
arbitration. The arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator. It will be
administered in keeping with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial
Arbitration Rules, and the Supplementary Proceedings for Consumer-Related
disputes when applicable (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
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 us, 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 we 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. 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. The
arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the party
seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that
party’s individual claim. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the
arbitrator’s decision.
Despite the above, you have the right to litigate any Dispute in small claims court or
other similar court of limited jurisdiction in the United States, 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 amount in controversy) are
satisfied.
Despite anything to the contrary in this EULA, you may reject changes made to the
binding arbitration provision if: (1) you’ve already begun authorized use of the Sony
Product at the time the change was/is made; and (2) you mail written notice to the
address in the immediately preceding paragraph within 30 days after the particular
change was/is made. Should such a situation arise, you will still be bound by the
Dispute procedures you previously agreed to and existing before the change you
rejected was made.
Any Dispute determined not subject to arbitration and not initiated in small claims
court will be litigated by either party in a court of competent jurisdiction in either
the Superior Court for the County of San Diego or in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of California.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, either party may initiate litigation
immediately with respect to any matter arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement for which equitable relief (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) is
sought. You agree that any violation of or non-compliance with any term or
condition this EULA by you will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice,
and will cause irreparable harm to Sony, its affiliates or third party licensors for
which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to Sony obtaining
any injunctive or equitable relief that Sony deems necessary or appropriate in such
circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies that may be
available to Sony under contract, at law or in equity.
FEEDBACK
Should you have any questions concerning this EULA, you may contact Sony by

Florida 33913, USA.
