AUTOMATIC UPDATE FEATURE
From time to time, SONY or the THIRD-
PARTY SUPPLIERS may automatically
update or otherwise modify the SOFTWARE,
including, but not limited to, for purposes
of enhancement of security functions, error
correction and improvement of functions,
at such time as you interact with SONY's
or third parties' servers, or otherwise. Such
updates or modifications may delete or
change the nature of features or other
aspects of the SOFTWARE, including, but not
limited to, functions you may rely upon. You
acknowledge and agree that such activities
may occur at SONY's sole discretion and that
SONY may condition continued use of the

ENTIRE AGREEMENT, WAIVER, SEVERABILITY
This EULA (and SONY's applicable privacy
policy separately presented to you, if any), as
amended and modified from time to time,
constitute the entire agreement(s) between
you and SONY with respect to the SOFTWARE.
The failure of SONY to exercise or enforce
any right or provision of this EULA shall not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any part of this EULA is held invalid, illegal,

enforced to the maximum extent permissible
so as to maintain the intent of this EULA, and
the other parts will remain in full force and

courts. The foregoing does not apply to you to
the extent applicable law of your jurisdiction
restricts or prohibits such agreements.
EQUITABLE REMEDIES
Notwithstanding anything contained in this
EULA to the contrary, you acknowledge and
agree that any violation of or non-compliance
with this EULA by you will cause irreparable
harm to SONY, for which monetary damages
would be inadequate, and you consent to
SONY obtaining any injunctive or equitable
relief that SONY deems necessary or
appropriate in such circumstances. SONY may
also take any legal and technical remedies
