Governing Law. The law of the province or territory of your purchase shall govern
this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent
that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/
territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or
controversy between you and LG, you and LG attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts of the province or territory of your purchase for the resolution of the
claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of
your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees
unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of

provided for herein, LG will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any
arbitration initiated in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and this
arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys'
fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including,
but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would.

the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the
