This limited warranty applies only to the projector and not to the projector lamp, which carries a limited warranty period of ninety (90) days from the date of original purchase. For warranty service, you may be required to provide proof of the date of original purchase.
• What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: If your product requires service during the limited warranty period, please call Epson at the number at the end of this statement and be prepared to provide the model, serial number, and, if required, date of original purchase. This line will be answered during Epson’s regular support hours (currently 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, and 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday – subject to change). 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.

Disputes, Arbitration, Governing Laws:

1. Both you and Epson agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or
   relating to Epson products or services or this agreement, shall be resolved by arbitration on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis, rather than in court. 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 and under the rules set forth in this agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation, including but not limited to, any claim that all or any part is void or voidable. JAMS rules are available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. 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. If you wish, you may appear at the arbitration by phone. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this agreement.

2. 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 customer.inquires@ea.epson.com. 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.

3. 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 F. 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.

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

5. 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.

6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or another misuse of trademark, patent infringement, copyright, or trade secret.

7. Any action must be brought within one (1) year of the expiration of the warranty.

8. 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 or representative actions. This means that if Section 9 (below) is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 9 (but only Section 9) shall be null and void.

9. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

10. This Section F is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act

11. Other Provisions:

12. 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.

13. Warranties in Canada: In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.

14. Governing Law: Except for any claims subject to arbitration pursuant to Section F, you and Epson agree that the law of the state where you reside shall govern.

15. Venue: Except for claims subject to arbitration pursuant to Section F, in the event of a dispute you and Epson both consent to the jurisdiction of your state of residence or, if none, then of the courts in Los Angeles County, California.
