END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

FOR CERTAIN SOFTWARE AND SERVICE TO BE USED

WITH YOUR SONY PRODUCT

IMPORTANT – READ THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE USING YOUR SONY PRODUCT. USING YOUR PRODUCT

INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA or Sony’s applicable privacy policy, as

amended from time to time by Sony in its discretion, Sony is unwilling to license the

Sony Software (as defined below) to you and unwilling to allow you to access the

Sony Services & Content (as defined below), and you should promptly contact Sony

for instructions on the return of the entire Sony Product and included Sony Software

for a refund of the purchase price of the Sony Product.

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a legal agreement between you and

Sony Electronics Inc. (“Sony”), the licensor of the software (other than the software

which is governed by other licenses as defined below, as “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 in your Sony

Product, including updates or modified software, provided to you by Sony, whether

stored on media or downloaded to the Sony Product via any method, but not

Excluded Software as defined below.

Note: This EULA contains a binding individual arbitration clause and class action waiver. If you wish

to opt out of these provisions, please follow the instructions in Section entitled “Resolving

Disputes; Arbitration; Small Claims Waiver” below.

This Sony Product also includes the Sony Entertainment Network feature which

provides access to selected content services (“Services”) from third party content

providers including Sony entities other than Sony Electronics Inc. (“Third Party

Providers”) as a courtesy to you. The Sony Entertainment 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. The Sony Entertainment 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. Your ability to access the

Services, and the quality of the Services presented, are subject to your Internet

provider’s service and terms. 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 may be changed at any time and may be unavailable from time to

time.

You understand, acknowledge and agree that access to certain Sony Product features,

including but not limited to your ability to access the Sony Content & Services,

requires an Internet connection for which you are solely responsible. You are solely

responsible for payment of any third party fees associated with your Internet

connection, including but not limited to Internet service provider or airtime charges.

The quality of the Sony Content & Services presented is subject to your Internet

provider’s service and terms, and is also dependent upon the speed of your Internet

service. Operation of the Sony Product and Sony Software, and access to the Sony

Content & Services, may be limited or restricted depending on the capabilities,

bandwidth or technical limitations of your Internet connection and service. You

understand, acknowledge and agree that Internet connectivity is provided by third

parties over which Sony has no control. The provision, quality, availability and security

of such Internet connectivity, software and services are the sole responsibility of such

third parties.

THE SONY SOFTWARE AND THE SERVICES MAY ALLOW SONY, THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, AND/OR

OTHER THIRD PARTIES TO COLLECT DATA FROM, CONTROL, AND/OR MONITOR THE SONY PRODUCT AND

OTHER DEVICES RUNNING OR INTERACTING WITH THE SONY SOFTWARE.

SOFTWARE LICENSE

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 license 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 agree not to modify, reverse

engineer, decompile or disassemble the Sony Software in whole or in part or to use

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.

EXCLUDED SOFTWARE

Notwithstanding the foregoing limited license 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 licenses (“Open Source Components”),

which means any software licenses approved as open source licenses by the Open

Source Initiative or any substantially similar licenses, including but not limited to any

license that, as a condition of distribution of the software licensed under such license,

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://www.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 licenses covering Open Source Components, the terms of

such licenses will apply in lieu of the terms of this EULA. To the extent the terms of the

licenses 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 licenses 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.

USER ACCOUNT

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.

DATA COLLECTION

Any Services provided by affiliates of Sony Corporation and/or third parties that you

access may also allow affiliates of Sony Corporation and/or third parties to collect

data about you and/or about the use of that service. Sony Corporation does not

control and is not in any way liable for such data collection and you should consult

the relevant privacy policy for each such Service before using it.

SONY’S RIGHTS TO USER’S MATERIAL

If you send any communications or materials to Sony by electronic mail or otherwise

(“Materials”), including any selections, comments, data, questions, suggestions, or the

like, all such Materials are, and will be treated as, non-confidential and non-

proprietary. Thus, 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, forever 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.

TRANSMITTED MATERIAL

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.

ADVERTISEMENTS, SERVICE COMMUNICATIONS

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. If you use the Sony Entertainment Network service, the SEN

and/or PSN Terms of Use/Service and the SEN and/or PSN Privacy Policy for your

country will apply and you will be required to agree to them. You understand and

agree that use of that service (and other services available through it) as well as

other services than those provided by Sony Entertainment Network may result in

you receiving or being shown recommendations and/or advertisements, service

announcements, administrative messages, news updates and the like which Sony

Corporation 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.

OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT AND RULES FOR MINORS (UNDER AGE 16)

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 are under the age of 16, you should ask your parent(s) or a

guardian before you: (i) e-mail Sony via the Service; (ii) send in any information; (iii)
