1. What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail
purchaser of the Epson projector product enclosed with this limited warranty
statement that the product, if purchased new and operated in the United States,
Canada, or Puerto Rico will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a
period of two years from the date of original purchase. For warranty service, you may
be required to provide proof of the date of original purchaseited warranty applies
only to the projector and not to the projector lamp, which carries a limited warranty
period of ninety days from the date of original purchase. For warranty service, you
may be required to provide proof of the date of original purchase.

2. What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: If your product requires service during
the limited warranty period, please call Epson at the number on the bottom of this
statement and be prepared to provide the model, serial number, and, if required, date
of original purchase. If Epson confirms that warranty service is required, Epson will,
at its option, repair or replace the defective unit, without charge for parts or labor. If

product to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in the United States,
Canada, or Puerto Rico. You are responsible for securely packaging the defective unit
and returning it to Epson within five working days of receipt of the replacement.
Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the cost of the replacement
product in the event that you fail to return the defective one. If Epson authorizes
repair instead of exchange, Epson will direct you to send your product to Epson or its
authorized service center, where the product will be repaired and sent back to you.
You are responsible for packing the product and for all postage or shipping costs to
and from the Epson authorized service center. When warranty service involves the
exchange of the product or of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property.
The exchanged product or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard of
quality. If service cannot be provided on the product for any reason and Epson no
longer sells the same model, Epson will replace your product with a model of equal or
superior value. Replacement products or parts assume the remaining warranty period

6. Disputes, Arbitration, Governing Laws:

A. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Epson products or services

or this agreement, shall be resolved by arbitration, rather than in court, in Los
Angeles County, California. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration
shall be governed by the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration is
filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class or representative basis,
available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267, and under the
rules set forth in this agreement. Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral
arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the
selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this agreement.

B. Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you

agree to try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us
at [e-mail]. Please include your name, address and contact
information, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. You agree
to act in good faith to resolve the dispute, but if you and Epson do not reach a
resolution within the sixty (60) days, you may commence an arbitration.

C. Opt-out. You may elect to opt out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding,

individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings
specified in this agreement by sending a written letter to Epson America, Inc.,
ATTN: Legal Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way, Long Beach, CA 90806, within
thirty (30) days of your purchase of the Epson products and/or services that specifies
(i) your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded
from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and
representative proceedings specified in this Section 6. In the event that you opt
out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall continue to
apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.

D. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration and your grounds for appeal are limited,
however, the arbitrator is empowered to grant relief and award you the same
damages as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief.

E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in a small claims

court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and
is pending only in that court.

F. Any action must be brought within three (3) months of the expiration of the

warranty.

G. You and Epson each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be

conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or
representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in
arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or
Epson may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual
property rights.

H. If any provision in this Section 6 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall

be severed with the remainder of this agreement remaining in full force and effect.
The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class, consolidated or
representative actions in Section 6G above. This means that if Section 6G is found
to be unenforceable, then all of Section 6, except for this paragraph H, shall be null
and void.

7. Other Provisions:

A. Other Rights You May Have: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and

you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some
jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

B. Warranties in Canada: In Canada, warranties include both warranties and

conditions.

C. Except for Section 6, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, in the event

of a dispute in which the provisions of Section 6 are inapplicable, severed from the
remainder of this agreement, or you opt out pursuant to Section 6C, you and Epson
both consent to the jurisdiction of your state of residence.
