SONY to exercise or enforce any right or provision of

notice to SONY by contacting Sony Electronics Inc.
at 16530 Via Esprillo, MZ 1105, San Diego, CA 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 DISPUTE enforcing,
protecting, or concerning the validity of intellectual
property rights.
ARBITRATION INSTRUCTIONS (ONLY FOR
UNITED STATES RESIDENTS)
To begin arbitration, either you or SONY 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 (800) 778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. The
filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be
shared between you and SONY, 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 SONY 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
