If you do not agree to the terms of this End User Licence Agreement (“EULA”), as amended from time to time by Sony in its discretion, Sony is unwilling to license the Sony Software (as defined below) to you – in such case please contact us before using the Sony Product (you can find our contact details of your local Sony company at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/) and we will provide you with instructions on how to return the entire Sony Product and included Sony Software for a refund of the purchase price of the Sony Product. If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, as amended from time to time by Sony in its discretion, Sony is unwilling to allow you to access the applicable Sony Content Services and Sony Content (as defined below).
This EULA is a legal agreement between you and Sony Corporation, a company incorporated in Japan (“Sony”), the licensor of the software (other than the software which is governed by other licences as indicated below, the “Excluded Software”) included in this Sony Product and related materials which shall be collectively referred to as the “Sony Software”. This EULA covers the Sony Software and that of Sony’s affiliates and third party licensors (“Third Party Licensors”) and accompanying printed or online documentation. The Sony Software includes software (including updates or modified software) in your Sony Product, and any other software, provided to you by Sony, whether stored on media or downloaded to the Sony Product via any method.
This Sony Product also includes a certain network feature which provides access to selected content services (“Services”) from third party content providers including Sony entities other than Sony Corporation (“Third Party Providers”) as a courtesy to you. The network feature also provides you access to selected Sony content services (“Sony Content Services”), which services and related content (“Sony Content”) shall both be considered Sony Software under this EULA. Such network feature requires an Internet connection. Your ability to access the Services, and the quality of the Services presented, are subject to your Internet provider’s service and terms as well as the broadband Internet connection speed you use. Video quality and picture size varies and is dependent upon the speed of your broadband service from your Internet provider and delivery by the Third Party Providers. The content, including but not limited to data, music, sound, audio, photographs, images, graphics, likenesses, software, text, video, messages, tags, or other materials, provided by Third Party Providers (“Content”) and the availability of the Services are at the sole discretion and under the control of the Third Party Providers. The Content and Services of each Third Party Provider are provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of that Third Party Provider. Premium Content may require additional fees and/or registration with the Third Party Provider through a computer. The Services and the Content may only be used for your own personal, private viewing, and shall not be used for non-theatrical exhibition, or any viewing or exhibition for which (or in a venue in which) an admission, access, or viewing fee is charged, or for any public exhibition or viewing. The Services and/or Content may be changed at any time and may be unavailable or discontinued from time to time. Sony is not responsible or liable for the content, operation or availability of the Services and/or Content of Third Party Providers.
You cannot use the Sony Software except as specified herein. The Sony Software is licensed, not sold. Sony and its Third Party Licensors grant you a limited licence to use the Sony Software only on the Sony Product. The Sony Software may create data files automatically for use with the Sony Software, and you agree that any such data files are deemed to be a part of the Sony Software. The Sony Software is licensed as a single product, and you may not separate its component parts for use on more than one device unless expressly authorized by Sony. You may not use the Sony Software separately from the Sony Product. Except as such prohibition is restricted by the applicable law, you agree to be prohibited from modifying, reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling the Sony Software in whole or in part for any purpose other than allowed under this EULA. In addition, you may not rent, lease, sublicense, or sell the Sony Software, but you may transfer all of your rights under this EULA only as part of a sale or transfer of the Sony Product provided you retain no copies, transfer all of the Sony Software (including all copies, component parts, any media, printed materials, all versions and any upgrades of the Sony Software, and this EULA), and the recipient agrees to the terms of this EULA. Sony and its Third Party Licensors retain all rights that this EULA does not expressly grant to you. You shall not (a) bypass, modify, defeat, or circumvent any of the functions or protections of the Sony Software or any mechanisms operatively linked to the Sony Software; or (b) remove, alter, cover, or deface any trademarks or notices on the Sony Software. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that the software, network services, or other products other than the Sony Software upon which the Sony Software’s performance may depend might be interrupted or discontinued at the discretion of the suppliers (software suppliers, service providers, Third Party Providers, etc.) or Sony.
Notwithstanding the foregoing limited licence grant, you acknowledge that the Sony Product includes software subject to other terms and conditions governing the use of such software other than this EULA (“Excluded Software”). Certain Excluded Software may be covered by open source software licences (“Open Source Components”), which means any software licences approved as open source licences by the Open Source Initiative or any substantially similar licences, including but not limited to any licence that, as a condition of distribution of the software licensed under such licence, requires that the distributor make the software available in source code format. Terms and conditions applicable to Open Source Components are provided to you together with this EULA and/or stored in your device which may include but are not limited to the “Help” or “About” menus. Please visit http://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux for a list of applicable Excluded Software included in this Sony Product from time to time, and the applicable terms and conditions governing its use. Such terms and conditions may be changed by the applicable third party at any time without liability to you. To the extent required by the licences covering Open Source Components, the terms of such licences will apply in lieu of the terms of this EULA. To the extent the terms of the licences applicable to Open Source Components prohibit any of the restrictions in this EULA with respect to such Open Source Components, such restrictions will not apply to such Open Source Component. To the extent the terms of the licences applicable to Open Source Components require Sony to make an offer to provide source code in connection with the Software, such offer is hereby made.
As part of the agreement to allow you to access, browse, or use the Services and the Content, Third Party Providers and/or other third parties may require that you establish a user account (“Account”) for which you must provide them with true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and maintain/promptly update such information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any and all of your passwords associated with any such Account.
If you send any communications or materials to Sony by electronic mail or otherwise, including any selections, comments, data, questions, suggestions, or the like (“Materials”), all such Materials are, and will be treated as, non-confidential and non-proprietary (except as expressly provided for in the applicable privacy policy). Thus, to the maximum extent as permitted under the applicable law, you give up any claim that use of such Materials violates any of your rights including moral rights, privacy rights, proprietary or other property rights, rights of publicity, rights to credit for material or ideas, or any other right, including the right to approve the way Sony uses such Materials. Any Material may be adapted, broadcast, changed, copied, disclosed, licensed, performed, posted, published, sold, transmitted, or used by Sony anywhere in the world, in any medium, for the period in which the above-mentioned rights given up by you exist and without attribution or compensation to you. Furthermore, you hereby assign all right, title, and interest in, and Sony is free to use, without any compensation to you, any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property rights contained in the Materials, whether or not patentable, for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing, having manufactured, licensing, marketing, and selling products using such Materials. However, you agree and understand that Sony is not obligated to use any such ideas, know-how, concepts, or techniques or Materials, and you have no right to compel such use.
Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any message or information you send to Sony may be read or intercepted by others, unless there is a special notice that a particular message (for example, credit card information) is encrypted (sent in code). Sending a message to Sony does not cause Sony to have any special responsibility to you.
Content owners use Microsoft PlayReady™ content access technology (“PlayReady”) to protect their intellectual property, including copyrighted content. This Sony Product uses PlayReady technology to access PlayReady protected Content and/or WMDRM-protected Content (“WMDRM” means Microsoft Windows Media digital rights management technology). If this Sony Product fails to properly enforce restrictions on Content usage, Content owners may require Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) to revoke this Sony Product’s ability to consume PlayReady protected Content. Revocation should not affect unprotected Content or Content protected by other content access technologies. Content owners may require you to upgrade PlayReady to access their Content. If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to access Content that requires the upgrade.
Content owners use Widevine DRM content access technology to protect their intellectual property, including copyrighted content. This Sony Product uses Widevine DRM technology to access Widevine DRM-protected Content. Content owners may require you to upgrade Widevine DRM to access their Content. If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the upgrade.
Inclusion of the Service of a Third Party Provider does not mean that Sony approves of, or endorses, or recommends that Third Party Provider or its Content. You understand and agree that the Services and/or Content may include advertisements (“Advertisements”), and that these Advertisements are necessary in order for the Services to be provided. You understand and agree that use of the Services (and other services available through it) may result in you receiving or being shown recommendations and/or advertisements, service announcements, administrative messages, news updates and the like which Sony is not responsible nor liable for. SONY, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE ACCURACY, LEGALITY, RELIABILITY, OR VALIDITY OF ANY ADVERTISEMENT, SERVICE COMMUNICATIONS, OR CONTENT, AS WELL AS ANY LIABILITY ARISING UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW FOR THE ADVERTISEMENTS, SERVICE COMMUNICATIONS, AND CONTENT.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
Certain Content may not be suitable for minors or other users. Such Content may or may not be rated or identified as having explicit language, or otherwise being for a mature audience. Therefore, you acknowledge that you are using the Services at your own risk and that Sony has no liability to you for the Content, including any Content that may be offensive. You are responsible for supervising the use of the Sony Product, the Sony Software, Excluded Software, the Services, and the Content by any minor. If you have no legal competence to execute any agreement with any third party without consent of your parent(s), a guardian or other individuals who have a right to give the consent to you under the applicable law, you should obtain consent before you: (i) e-mail Sony via the Service; (ii) send in any information; (iii) enter any contest or game that requires information about you or offers a prize; (iv) join any club or group; (v) post any information on any bulletin board or enter any chatroom; or (vi) buy anything online.
YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT THE CONTENT AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS AND/OR SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES OVER WHICH SONY HAS NO CONTROL. THE SELECTION, PROVISION, QUALITY, PICTURE SIZE, AND AVAILABILITY OF SUCH CONTENT AND/OR SOFTWARE ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUCH THIRD PARTY PROVIDER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY. YOU AGREE TO COMPLY WITH ANY AND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS MAY SET FOR ITS SERVICE, CONTENT AND/OR SOFTWARE. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT ACCESS, BROWSING, AND USAGE OF THE SERVICES REQUIRES INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDED BY YOU, AND FOR WHICH YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PAYMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY FEES (SUCH AS INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER OR AIRTIME CHARGES) FOR SUCH ACCESS AND FOR DISPLAY OR DELIVERY OF ADVERTISEMENTS INCLUDED WITH THE SERVICES. OPERATION OF THE SERVICE MAY BE LIMITED OR RESTRICTED DEPENDING ON THE CAPABILITIES, BANDWIDTH OR TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS OF YOUR INTERNET SERVICE. SONY, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TIMELINESS, DELETION, MIS-DELIVERY, OR FAILURE TO STORE ANY USER COMMUNICATIONS OR PERSONALIZED SETTINGS.
THE SONY SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION, THE SERVICES, AND THE CONTENT ARE FURNISHED TO YOU “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, OF ANY KIND. SONY, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, AND ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SONY, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, AND ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SONY SOFTWARE OR ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION, THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SONY SOFTWARE, THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. FURTHERMORE, SONY, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, AND ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS DO NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE SONY SOFTWARE, THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT IN TERMS OF ITS CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY SONY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR A SONY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR CONDITION, OR IN ANY WAY CHANGE THIS EXCLUSION OF WARRANTY AND CONDITION. SHOULD THE SONY SOFTWARE, MEDIA ON WHICH THE SONY SOFTWARE IS FURNISHED, DOCUMENTATION, THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU (AND NOT SONY OR A SONY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
IN NO EVENT WILL SONY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY NEGLIGENCE ISSUES RELATED TO THIRD PARTY LICENSORS OR THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS), ITS AFFILIATES, ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS OR ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT OR DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS EULA, ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS OF USE OF THE SONY PRODUCT, DOCUMENTATION, THE SERVICES, THE CONTENT, DOWN TIME AND YOUR TIME, LOSS OF PRESENT OR PROSPECTIVE PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, INFORMATION OF ANY KIND, BUSINESS PROFITS, OR OTHER COMMERCIAL LOSS, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF SONY, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, OR ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE SONY SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION, THE SERVICES, AND THE CONTENT ARE FURNISHED TO YOU FOR USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. SONY, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, AND ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY RELATED TO THE SONY SOFTWARE, THE SERVICES, THE CONTENT, OR THIS EULA.
Some jurisdictions may not allow exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, exclusions or limitations of implied warranties or conditions, or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you - nothing in this EULA limits or excludes your mandatory legal rights as a consumer.
In situations where the Sony Software or any part thereof is furnished on media, Sony warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original purchase by you, the media on which the Sony Software is furnished to you will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This limited warranty extends only to you as the original licensee. Sony’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy will be replacement of the media not meeting Sony’s limited warranty. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ON THE MEDIA, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE BY YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION LASTS, SO THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
Sony and its Third Party Providers reserve the right at any time to charge fees for access to new Content or new Services or to portions of the existing Content or Services, or the Services as a whole. In addition, Third Party Providers may charge fees for access to their Content. In no event will you be charged for access to any portion or all of the Content and/or the Services unless Sony and/or a Third Party Provider obtain your prior agreement to pay such charges. If you do not consent to such charges, however, you may not have access to paid Content or Services for which such charges apply.
Sony respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we ask you to do the same. It is Sony’s policy, at its discretion as appropriate, (a) to terminate and/or disable the Content of Third Party Providers or users of the Services who may infringe or repeatedly infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Sony, its Third Party Providers or others; and/or (b) to forward reports of intellectual property rights violations to Third Party Providers and others for review and action per the terms of such Third Party Provider’s procedures for protection of intellectual property rights. The Sony Software and Content are protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. There may be proprietary logos, service marks, trademarks, likenesses, and trade names found in the Sony Software, the Content, or on the Services. By making the Sony Software and Content available on the Services, Sony and the Third Party Providers are not granting you any licence to utilize those proprietary logos, service marks, trademarks, likenesses, or trade names. Any unauthorized use of the Sony Software, the Services, or the Content may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and civil and criminal statutes. All right, title, and interest in and to the Sony Software and the Content, and any and all copies or portions thereof, are owned by Sony, its licensors, Third Party Licensors, suppliers and/or Third Party Providers. All rights not specifically granted under this EULA are reserved by Sony, its licensors, Third Party Licensors, suppliers and/or Third Party Providers.
You are responsible for all your activities hereunder, including all legal liability incurred from access, browsing, or use of the Services by you or by others who use the Services via your Sony Product or Account (as defined in the User Account section). You may use the Sony Software, the Services, and the Content for lawful purposes only. You may not distribute, exchange, modify, sell, or transmit anything you may copy from the Sony Software, the Services, or the Content, including but not limited to any data, text, software, likenesses, photographs, images, graphics, audio, music, sound, video, messages, and tags, for any business, commercial, or public purpose. You further agree not to interrupt/disrupt or attempt to interrupt/disrupt the operation of the Sony Software, the Service or the Content in any way.
If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have otherwise been violated, please first contact the Third Party Provider for the particular Service. If you are unable to contact such Third Party Provider, or the content at issue is Sony’s, you may contact Sony (the contact point of which is described in the documents accompanying with Sony Product) with the following information in a written notice:
(a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright or other intellectual property interest; (b) a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed; (c) a description of the particular Service and where the material that you claim is infringing is located on such Service, with enough detail that we may find the material; (d) your address, telephone number, and e-mail address; (e) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
To the maximum extent as permitted under the applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sony and all of its agents, directors, officers, employees, information providers, licensors and licensees, affiliates, content providers, and direct and indirect parent(s) (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability and costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of (i) any breach or alleged breach by you of this EULA in any manner, (ii) any information you submit to Sony hereunder, (iii) any breach or alleged breach by you of a third party’s rights, (iv) any damage caused by or alleged to have been caused by you to the Sony Software, the Services, or the Content. To the maximum extent as permitted under the applicable law, counsel you select for defense or settlement of a claim must be consented to by Sony and/or Indemnified Party(s) prior to counsel being engaged to represent you and Sony and/or Indemnified Party(s). You and your counsel will cooperate as fully as reasonably required by the Indemnified Party(s) in defense or settlement of any claim. Sony and/or Indemnified Party(s) reserve the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense or settlement, and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. You shall not in any event consent to any judgment, settlement, attachment, or lien, or any other act adverse to the interest of Sony or any Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of Sony and/or Indemnified Party(s).
From time to time, Sony or third parties may automatically update or otherwise modify the Sony Software, for example, but not limited to, for purposes of error correction, improvement of features, and enhancement of security features. Such updates or modifications may change or delete the nature of features or other aspects of the Sony Software, including features you may rely upon. You hereby agree that such activities may occur at Sony’s sole discretion and that Sony may condition continued use of the Sony Software upon your complete installation or acceptance of such update or modifications. Sony may add to, change, or remove any part, term, or condition of the EULA as it applies to the Sony Software, the Services, and/or the Content at any time without prior notice to you. Any such additions, changes, or removals or any terms posted in the applicable website shall apply as soon as they are posted. By continuing to use Sony Software or access the Services, the Sony Content Services, the Content, and/or the Sony Content after so posted, you are indicating your acceptance thereto. SONY MAY ADD, CHANGE, DISCONTINUE, REMOVE, OR SUSPEND ANY OF THE SERVICES OR THE SONY CONTENT SERVICES, TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY, AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE AND WITHOUT LIABILITY. WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO ANY OTHER RIGHTS, SONY MAY SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THIS EULA AS TO THE SERVICES, THE SONY CONTENT SERVICES, THE CONTENT, AND/OR THE SONY CONTENT IMMEDIATELY UPON NOTICE IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS EULA. Sony may take any legal and technical remedies to prevent violation of and/or to enforce this EULA, including, without limitation, immediate termination of your access to the Services, if Sony believes in its discretion that you are violating this EULA.
The Sony Software is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of the Sony Software could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (“High Risk Activities”). SONY, EACH OF THE THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES.
The Sony Software and the Content may contain encryption technology. You acknowledge that any export of Sony Software or the Content containing encryption technology from your residence or subsequent re-export of such software by a person located outside of your residence might require a licence or other authorization from any governmental authority. By accepting this licence agreement, you agree to abide by all applicable export laws and regulations in the purchase and use of the Sony product being acquired, including but not limited to those regulations relating to the export control of cryptographic items and not to transfer, or authorize the transfer, of the Sony Software or the Content to a prohibited country or otherwise in violation of any such restrictions or regulations.
EVEN IF TRIAL BY JURY MAY BE ADOPTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS EULA TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW. Any cause of action you may have with respect to the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises to the maximum extent as permitted under the applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on the time for commencement of actions (or prescribe a longer period), so this limitation may not apply to you.
This EULA, the limited warranty accompanying the Sony Product, and any additional terms and conditions posted on the Services, together constitute the entire agreement between you and Sony with respect to the Sony Product, the Sony Software, the Services, and the Content. Any notice by Sony hereunder may be made by letter, e-mail, or posting on the Services. 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, or unenforceable, that provision shall be 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 effect. To the extent permissible by law, this agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan.
Each Third Party Licensor and each Third Party Provider is an express intended third-party beneficiary of, and shall have the right to enforce, each provision of this EULA with respect to the software, service, and content, as applicable, of such party.
