Exclusions and limitations
Except as stated above, Sony makes no warranties (express, implied, statutory or
otherwise) regarding product or accompanying or constituent software quality,
performance, accuracy, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise. If this
exclusion is not permitted or fully permitted by applicable law, Sony excludes or limits its
warranties only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any warranty that
cannot be fully excluded will be limited (as far as permitted by applicable law) to the duration
of this Guarantee.
Sony's only obligation under this Guarantee is to repair or replace products subject to these
Guarantee terms and conditions. Sony is not liable for any loss or damage relating to
products, service, this Guarantee or otherwise, including - economic or intangible losses -
the price paid for the product - loss of profits, revenue, data, enjoyment or use of the product
or any associated products - indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage. This
applies whether that loss or damage relates to:
❑ impaired or non-operation of the product or associated products through defects or
unavailability while with Sony or an ASN member, which caused downtime, loss of user
time or business interruption
❑ inaccuracy of output from the product or associated products
❑ damage to or loss of software programs or removable data storage media, or
❑ virus infections and other causes.
This applies to loss and damages under any legal theory, including negligence and other
torts, breach of contract, express or implied warranty, and strict liability (even where Sony
or an ASN member has been advised of the possibility of such damages).
Where applicable law prohibits or limits these liability exclusions, Sony excludes or limits its
liability only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. For example, some
countries prohibit the exclusion or limitation of damages resulting from negligence, gross
negligence, willful misconduct, deceit and similar acts. Sony's liability under this guarantee
will in no case exceed the price paid for the product, but if applicable law permits only higher
liability limitations, the higher limitations apply.
