AGREEMENT

FOR CERTAIN SOFTWARE AND SERVICE TO BE
USED WITH YOUR SONY PRODUCT

IMPORTANT – READ THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE
USING YOUR SONY PRODUCT. USING YOUR
PRODUCT INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF
THIS AGREEMENT.

If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA or
Sony’s applicable privacy policy, as amended from
time to time by Sony in its discretion, Sony is
unwilling to license the Sony Software (as defined
below) to you and unwilling to allow you to access
the Sony Services & Content (as defined below),
and you should promptly contact Sony for
instructions on the return of the entire Sony
Product and included Sony Software for a refund of
the purchase price of the Sony Product.

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a legal
agreement between you and Sony Electronics Inc.
(“Sony”), the licensor of the software (other than
the software which is governed by other licenses
as defined below, as “Excluded Software”) included
in this Sony Product and related materials which
shall be collectively referred to as the “Sony
Software.” This EULA covers the Sony Software and
that of Sony’s affiliates and third party licensors
(“Third Party Licensors”) and accompanying printed
or online documentation. The Sony Software
includes software in your Sony Product, including
updates or modified software, provided to you by
Sony, whether stored on media or downloaded to
the Sony Product via any method, but not Excluded
Software as defined below.

Note: This EULA contains a binding individual
arbitration clause and class action waiver. If
you wish to opt out of these provisions,
please follow the instructions in Section
entitled “Resolving Disputes; Arbitration;
Small Claims Waiver” below.

This Sony Product also includes the Sony

access to selected content services (“Services”)
from third party content providers including Sony
entities other than Sony Electronics Inc. (“Third
Party Providers”) as a courtesy to you. The Sony
Entertainment Network feature also provides you
access to selected Sony content services (“Sony
Content Services”), which services and related
content (“Sony Content”) shall both be considered
Sony Software under this EULA. The Sony
Entertainment Network feature requires an Internet
connection. Your ability to access the Services, and
the quality of the Services presented, are subject to
your Internet provider’s service and terms as well
as the broadband Internet connection speed you

quality of the Services presented, are subject to
your Internet provider’s service and terms. Video
quality and picture size varies and is dependent
upon the speed of your broadband service from
your Internet provider and delivery by the Third
Party Providers. The content, including but not
limited to data, music, sound, audio, photographs,
images, graphics, likenesses, software, text, video,
messages, tags, or other materials, provided by

and under the control of the Third Party Providers.
The Content and Services of each Third Party

be used for your own personal, private viewing,
and shall not be used for non-theatrical exhibition,
or any viewing or exhibition for which (or in a
venue in which) an admission, access, or viewing
fee is charged, or for any public exhibition or
viewing. The Services may be changed at any time
and may be unavailable from time to time.

You understand, acknowledge and agree that
access to certain Sony Product features, including
but not limited to your ability to access the Sony
Content & Services, requires an Internet connection
for which you are solely responsible. You are solely
responsible for payment of any third party fees
associated with your Internet connection, including
but not limited to Internet service provider or
airtime charges. The quality of the Sony Content &
Services presented is subject to your Internet
provider’s service and terms, and is also dependent
upon the speed of your Internet service. Operation
of the Sony Product and Sony Software, and access
to the Sony Content & Services, may be limited or
restricted depending on the capabilities,
bandwidth or technical limitations of your Internet
connection and service. You understand,
acknowledge and agree that Internet connectivity
is provided by third parties over which Sony has no
control. The provision, quality, availability and
security of such Internet connectivity, software and
services are the sole responsibility of such third
parties.

ALLOW SONY, THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS,
AND/OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES TO COLLECT
DATA FROM, CONTROL, AND/OR MONITOR THE
SONY PRODUCT AND OTHER DEVICES RUNNING

grant, you acknowledge that the Sony Product

licenses applicable to Open Source Components
prohibit any of the restrictions in this EULA with
respect to such Open Source Components, such

restrictions will not apply to such Open Source
Component. To the extent the terms of the licenses
applicable to Open Source Components require
Sony to make an offer to provide source code in
connection with the Software, such offer is hereby
made.

exclusions or limitations of implied warranties or
conditions, or allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or
exclusions may not apply to you.

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

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 remedy will be replacement of
the media not meeting Sony’s limited warranty.

THE MEDIA, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND/OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION
TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT 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.

The Sony Software and the Content may contain

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.

13

GB

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 [phone] 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 writing to Sony
Technical Response Center, 12451 Gateway
Boulevard, Fort Myers, Florida 33913, USA.

SOFTWARE AND SERVICE TO BE USED WITH
YOUR SONY PRODUCT

IMPORTANT – READ THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE
USING YOUR SONY PRODUCT. USING YOUR
PRODUCT INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF
THIS AGREEMENT.

If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, as
amended from time to time by Sony in its
discretion, Sony is unwilling to license the Sony
Software (as defined below) to you and unwilling
to allow you to access the Sony Services & Content
(as defined below), and you should promptly
contact Sony for instructions on the return of the
entire Sony Product and included Sony Software for
a refund of the purchase price of the Sony Product.

This End User Licence Agreement (“EULA”) is a legal
agreement between you and Sony Corporation, a
company incorporated in Japan (“Sony”), the
licensor of the software (other than the software
which is governed by other licences as indicated
below, the “Excluded Software”) included in this
Sony Product and related materials which shall be
collectively referred to as the “Sony Software.” This
EULA covers the world-wide market (except for the
United States of America, Canada and Japan) as a
territory, and also covers the Sony Software and
that of Sony’s third party licensors (“Third Party
Licensors”) and accompanying printed or online
documentation. The Sony Software includes
software in your Sony Product, other software,
including updates or modified software, provided
to you by Sony, whether stored on media or
downloaded to the Sony Product via any method.

This Sony Product also includes Sony
Entertainment Network feature which provides
access to selected content services (“Services”)
from third party content providers including Sony
entities other than Sony Corporation (“Third Party
Providers”) as a courtesy to you. The Sony
Entertainment Network feature also provides you
access to selected Sony content services (“Sony
Content Services”), which services and related
content (“Sony Content”) shall both be considered
Sony Software under this EULA. The Sony

Entertainment Network feature requires an Internet
connection. Your ability to access the Services, and
the quality of the Services presented, are subject to
your Internet provider’s service and terms as well
as the broadband Internet connection speed you
use. Video quality and picture size varies and is
dependent upon the speed of your broadband
service from your Internet provider and delivery by
the Third Party Providers. The content, including
but not limited to data, music, sound, audio,
photographs, images, graphics, likenesses,
software, text, video, messages, tags, or other
materials, provided by Third Party Providers
(“Content”) and the availability of the Services are
at the sole discretion and under the control of the
Third Party Providers. The Content and Services of
each Third Party Provider are provided pursuant to
the terms and conditions of that Third Party
Provider. Premium Content may require additional
fees and/or registration with the Third Party
Provider through a computer. The Services and the
Content may only be used for your own personal,
private viewing, and shall not be used for
non-theatrical exhibition, or any viewing or
exhibition for which (or in a venue in which) an
admission, access, or viewing fee is charged, or for
any public exhibition or viewing. The Services and/
or Content may be changed at any time and may
be unavailable from time to time.

SOFTWARE LICENCE

You cannot use the Sony Software except as
specified herein. The Sony Software is licensed, not
sold. Sony and its Third Party Licensors grant you a
limited licence to use the Sony Software only on
the Sony Product. The Sony Software may create
data files automatically for use with the Sony
Software, and you agree that any such data files
are deemed to be a part of the Sony Software. The
Sony Software is licensed as a single product, and
you may not separate its component parts for use
on more than one device unless expressly
authorized by Sony. You may not use the Sony
Software separately from the Sony Product. Except
as such prohibition is restricted by the applicable
law, you agree to be prohibited from modifying,
reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling
the Sony Software in whole or in part for any
purpose other than allowed under this EULA. In
addition, you may not rent, lease, sublicense, or sell
the Sony Software, but you may transfer all of your
rights under this EULA only as part of a sale or
transfer of the Sony Product provided you retain no
copies, transfer all of the Sony Software (including
all copies, component parts, any media, printed
materials, all versions and any upgrades of the
Sony Software, and this EULA), and the recipient
agrees to the terms of this EULA. Sony and its Third
Party Licensors retain all rights that this EULA does
not expressly grant to you. You shall not (a) bypass,
modify, defeat, or circumvent any of the functions
or protections of the Sony Software or any
mechanisms operatively linked to the Sony
