LIMITED WARRANTY 33
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to "LG" mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc.,
its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents,
beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to "dispute"
or "claim" shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in
contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable
theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this
Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first
notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG
at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs
07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your
claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that
is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you
and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for
arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute
during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims
between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below.
Any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving
any other person's or entity's product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing,
any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or
representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims
court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make
a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA's Consumer
Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the "AAA
Rules") and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at
www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of
this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of
your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 1000
Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the
rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any
court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating
to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for
the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and
any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with
applicable federal law.
