return the defective one. When warranty service involves the exchange of the
product or of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. If Epson
cannot provide service on your product for any reason and no longer sells the
same model, we will replace your product with a model of equal or superior

F. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS
AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS:
-
Disputes. The terms of this Section F shall apply to all Disputes between you and Epson. The term “Dispute” is meant to have the broadest meaning permissible under law or in equity and includes any dispute, claim, controversy, or action between you and Epson arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance, or breach), the Software, Epson Hardware, the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or any other transaction involving you and Epson, whether in contract, or with respect to warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. However, a “Dispute” does not include a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement, (c) copyright infringement or misuse, or (d) trade secret misappropriation (an “IP Claim”). You and Epson also agree, notwithstanding Section F, that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of action is for an IP Claim.
-
Initial Dispute Resolution. Before submitting a claim for arbitration in accordance with this Section F, you and Epson agree to try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days, you or Epson may commence an arbitration in accordance with Section F(6). Notice to Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3131 Katella Ave., Los Alamitos, CA 90720. Any notice of the Dispute shall include the sender’s name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. Any notice sent to you will be sent to the most recent address Epson has in its records for you. For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address changes by emailing us at EAILegal@ea.epson.com or writing us at the address above. You and Epson agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration in accordance with this Section F(2).
-
Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section F(2) above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration according to this Agreement.ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR RIGHT TO DISCOVERY AND GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE MORE LIMITED THAN IN COURT. Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized arbitration provider, pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or its applicable code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes, but excluding any rules that permit class arbitration (for more detail on procedure, see Section F(6) below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section F, (b) this Agreement memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section F shall survive termination of this Agreement.
-
Exception–Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve disputes through arbitration, you or we may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
-
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND CLASS ARBITRATION. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION.
If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth herein shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. -
Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or the applicable rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class-wide basis (the “JAMS Rules”), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, which shall be selected in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, 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. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of “Disputes” in Section F(1) above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. In some instances, the costs of arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation, and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The arbitrator’s award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone or, if you and we both agree, to conduct it online, in lieu of appearing live. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone or online shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange County, California, at your option
a. Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties agree to the following procedure:
i. Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at http://www.jamsadr.com (“Demand for Arbitration”).
ii. Send three (3) copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.
iii. Send one (1) copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (at the same address as the notice of a dispute, above in Section F(2)), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.
b. Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration. -
30 Day Opt-out Right. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class proceedings set forth in Section F of this Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson address listed above in Section F(2) within thirty (30) days of your assent to this Agreement 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 proceedings specified in this Section F. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms set forth in the Agreement shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Epson will also not be bound by them.
8. Amendments to Section F. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson’s address) in this Agreement, Epson will obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in accordance with the language of this Section F (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section F(7), if you timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement). -
Severability. If any provision in this Section F 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 actions as provided in Section F(5). This means that if Section F(5) is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section F (but only Section F) shall be null and void.
G. Other Provisions:
- Other Rights You May Have: The Epson Limited Warranty Program gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
- Governing Law: Except for claims subject to arbitration pursuant to Section F, you and Epson agree that the law of the state or country where you reside shall govern.
