THIS WARRANTY IS PROVIDED TO YOU IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE FOR THIS PRODUCT, WHICH SIE DISCLAIMS UNDER THESE TERMS.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED ABOVE, SIE EXCLUDES ALL LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFIT, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER THOSE DAMAGES ARE DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL AND HOWEVER ARISING UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW, AS A RESULT OF USING THIS PRODUCT. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THESE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which vary from state to state or province to province.

The warranty offered by SIE on this Product is the same whether or not you register your product.

This warranty does not apply to any system software that is preinstalled in the PS5 hardware, or is subsequently provided via update or upgrade releases.
