LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT
ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN
ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE
DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, UNLESS
YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT. IN ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTIONS AND
JURY TRIALS ARE NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE THE SECTION TITLED
“PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES” BELOW.
Warranty Laws
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer
goods:
Ţ
The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et
seq],
Ţ
The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C §§2101
et seq], and
Ţ
The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission
Improvement Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703].
A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a written promise that the
product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair, or
replace defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies include
damages for failing to honor a written warranty or service contract or
for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC §2310(d).] Except for
some labeling and disclosure requirements, the federal Act does not
preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]

1. WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS:
LG offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed subscriber unit and its
enclosed accessories will be free from defects in material and workmanship,
according to the following terms and conditions:
(1) The limited warranty for the product extends for TWELVE (12)
MONTHS beginning on the date of purchase of the product with
valid proof of purchase, or absent valid proof of purchase, FIFTEEN
(15) MONTHS from date of manufacture as determined by the unit's
manufacture date code.
(2) The limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the
product and is not assignable or transferable to any subsequent
purchaser/end user.
(3) This warranty is good only to the original purchaser of the product
during the warranty period as long as it is in the U.S., including Alaska,
Hawaii, U.S. Territories and Canada.
(4) The external housing and cosmetic parts shall be free of defects at
the time of shipment and, therefore, shall not be covered under these
limited warranty terms.
(5) Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide information to
reasonably prove the date of purchase.
(6) The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the product to the
Customer Service Department of LG. LG shall bear the cost of shipping
the product back to the consumer after the completion of service under
this limited warranty.
4
2. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:
(1) Defects or damages resulting from use of the product in other than its
normal and customary manner.
(2) Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal conditions, improper
storage, exposure to moisture or dampness, unauthorized modifications,
unauthorized connections, unauthorized repair, misuse, neglect, abuse,
accident, alteration, improper installation, or other acts which are not
the fault of LG, including damage caused by shipping, blown fuses, spills
of food or liquid.
(3) Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused directly by defects in
material or workmanship.
(4) That the Customer Service Department at LG was not notified by
consumer of the alleged defect or malfunction of the product during
the applicable limited warranty period.
(5) Products which have had the serial number removed or made illegible.
(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied
either in fact or by operations of law, statutory or otherwise, including,
but not limited to any implied warranty of marketability or fitness for a
particular use.
(7) Damage resulting from use of non LG approved accessories.
(8) All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed parts that are
scratched or damaged due to normal customer use.
(9) Products operated outside published maximum ratings.
(10) Products used or obtained in a rental program.
(11) Consumables (such as fuses).
5
3. WHAT LG WILL DO:
LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund the purchase price
of any unit that is covered under this limited warranty. LG may choose at
its option to use functionally equivalent re-conditioned, refurbished or new
units or parts or any units. In addition, LG will not re-install or back-up
any data, applications or software that you have added to your phone. It
is therefore recommended that you back-up any such data or information
prior to sending the unit to LG to avoid the permanent loss of such
information.
4. STATE LAW RIGHTS:
No other express warranty is applicable to this product. THE DURATION
OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY
HEREIN. LG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE USE OF THE
PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE,
THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY
OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow the exclusive limitation of incidental or
consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts; so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty
6
gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE
RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT
IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS
THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG
Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates,
and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,
predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to
7
“dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any
kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation,
ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory)
arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of
the product or this Limited Warranty.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. You and LG
agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an
individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between
you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving
any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without
limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under
any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action.
Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small
claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a
class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you
or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be
administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and will be
conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration
Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to
as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The
AAA Rules are available online at
www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration,
as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described
in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to
8
LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc.Attn: Legal Department-Arbitration1000
Sylvan AvenueEnglewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between
the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in
this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any
court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide,
except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration
provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide.
The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law: The law of the state of your residence shall govern this
Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that
such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon
receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all
arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in
damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the
AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA
filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in
accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail
in the arbitration, LG will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
to the extent required by applicable law. If the arbitrator finds either the
substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or
brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth
in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration
fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to
9
reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise
your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided
for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses
from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose
to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents
submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an
in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds
$25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any
in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal
judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location
or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt
out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration
proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30
calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of
the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the
subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973.You must
include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and
address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product
model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number,
as applicable (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can be found (i) on the
product box; (ii) on a label on the back of the product beneath the battery,
if the battery is removable; or (iii) from the settings menu via the following
path: Settings
About phone Status). You may only opt out of the
10
dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by
e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out
of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution
procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way,
and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If
you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and
conditions of the arbitration provision described above.
