What to Do If You Are Not Satised With Service
If you feel VIZIO has not met its obligations under this warranty, you may
attempt to resolve the issue informally with VIZIO. If you are unable to resolve
the issue informally and wish to le a formal claim against VIZIO, and if you are a
resident of the United States, you must submit your claim to binding arbitration

to have your claim heard by a judge or jury. Instead your claim will be heard by a
neutral arbitrator.

UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS
COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY
OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR VIZIO PRODUCT, INCLUDING
ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
WARRANTY, A BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, OR THE VIZIO PRODUCT’S

ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION
ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED
BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY
PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more
about the American Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by
visiting www.adr.org. Since this warranty concerns a transaction in interstate or
international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply.
The ling fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and
VIZIO, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the
American Arbitration Association, at which point VIZIO will cover all additional
administrative fees and expenses. VIZIO waives its right to recover attorneys’
fees in connection with any arbitration under this warranty. If you are the
prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer-Related Disputes applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys’
fees as the arbitrator may determine.
The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which
you resided at the time of your purchase (if in the United States). The place
of arbitration will be Irvine, California, or your county of residence (if in the
United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other
damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except
as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential
damages, and any award will be limited to monetary damages and will include
no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction
to pay a monetary amount. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator
46
will be binding and nal, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal
Arbitration Act, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as
may be required by law, neither you nor VIZIO nor an arbitrator may disclose the
existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this warranty without the
prior written consent of you and VIZIO.
ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL
BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. VIZIO AND YOU AGREE
THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE
TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS
OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION
OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR COMBINED WITH
ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN
CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ANY SUCH ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING.
