1. The Contract.
These Terms and Conditions govern the hardware service and/or replacement service provided to you for the Sony branded product ("Product") listed on your
proof of purchase ("Proof of Purchase"). Your "Contract" includes these Terms and Conditions and your Proof of Purchase. The provider contractually
obligated to you under the terms of this Contract ("Provider") is Federal Warranty Service Corporation, [P.O. Box 105689, Atlanta, GA 30348-5689], [1-877-
881-8578] in all states except in Florida where the Provider is United Service Protection, Inc., [11222 Quail Roost Drive, Miami, FL 33157], [1-877-881-8578];
and in Oklahoma where the Provider is Assurant Service Protection, Inc. [P.O. Box 105689, Atlanta, GA 30348-5689], [1-866-266-9459]. Although Sony
Electronics, Inc., [16530 Via Esprillo, Bld 1 San Diego, CA 92127] ("Sony") is not the Provider and this Contract is between you and the Provider, Sony is the
administrator of this Contract and when you need service you should call Sony at [1-855-766-9777]. This Contract is not related to nor an extension of your
manufacturer's warranty, and instead includes only these Terms and Conditions and Proof of Purchase. This Contract is not a contract of insurance. Unless
otherwise regulated under state law, the contents of this Contract should be interpreted and understood within the meaning of a "Service Contract" in Public
Law #93-637.
2.WHAT IS COVERED.
The available coverages are listed below. The coverage you purchased will be indicated on your Proof of Purchase.
2.1. Hardware Coverage
This Contract provides coverage for Product hardware failures due to defects in workmanship and/or materials, including power surge while properly
connected to a surge protector. You may be asked to provide your surge protector for examination to validate a claim. Your Contract may provide for repairs
or, depending on the Product, replacement coverage only. For PC customers, this Contract provides for one replacement of a factory installed rechargeable
battery over the life of the Contract. Sony may use non-original manufacturer parts or re-manufactured parts for the repair.
2.2. Accidental Damage
You may also purchase optional coverage for failures due to accidental damage from handling ("ADH"), such as drops or spills that arise from normal handling
and use of the Product. ADH coverage only applies to operational or mechanical failure caused by an accident from handling that is the result of an
unexpected or unintentional external event that arises from your normal daily usage. If the Product is replaced all obligations owed under this Contract will
have been satisfied.
ADH coverage does not protect you in the cases of (a) theft, loss, misplacement, war, terrorism, fire, abuse, a willful or intentional act, (b) alteration or
modification of the Product in any way, (c) damage caused by failure to perform manufacturer's recommended operating instructions/standards or
recommended maintenance, (d) cosmetic damage (e.g., scratches or dents) that does not prevent the proper functionality or use of the Product.
3. If You Need Service
If you need service during the Coverage Term, Sony will either (a) repair the defect, or failure due to ADH, using new or refurbished parts, (b) exchange the
Product as a repair solution with an authorized replacement Product that may be new or refurbished, of like quality and functionality (c) replace the Product
with an authorized replacement Product that may be new or refurbished, of like kind, quality and functionality not to exceed the purchase price of the Product;
or (d) provide you with an amount equal to the purchase price of the Product less any sales tax, shipping, and service claims previously paid. Sony will try to
match specific replacement preferences such as equipment color, cosmetics, or features, but this is not guaranteed.
If your Product is un-repairable and Sony replaces your Product, upon receipt of your Product by Sony, the replacement Product will be shipped to you. When
you receive the replacement Product, the originally covered Product will become Sony ?s property. If the Product is un-repairable and Sony replaces the
Product all obligations owed under this Contract will have been satisfied.
If your Product is repairable and Sony exchanges your Product as a repair solution, upon receipt of your Product, the exchange Product will be shipped to
you. When you receive the exchange Product, the originally covered Product will become Sony's property. If the Product is repairable but Sony chooses to
exchange the Product as a repair solution, this Contract will continue to provide coverage on the exchange Product for the remainder of your Contract
coverage.
In the event that you are provided a replacement Product prior to your return of the originally covered Product, a hold on your credit card for an unrecovered
equipment fee will be required ("Unrecovered Equipment Fee"). If you do not return your Product within 15 days after receipt of your replacement Product, the
Unrecovered Equipment Fee will be processed. Upon timely receipt by Sony of your Product, the hold will be removed. If you do not provide a credit card
authorization for the Unrecovered Equipment Fee, you will be shipped a box with a pre-paid postage label to deliver your original Product prior to providing a
replacement Product.
If your Product fails three (3) times due to the same part failure, upon the fourth service request for the same part failure, Sony will replace the failed Product
with an authorized replacement Product, which may be new or refurbished, of like kind, quality and functionality not to exceed the original retail purchase price
of the Product. Replacement of the Product will satisfy all obligations owed under this Contract.
4. How to Get Service.
Call Sony at [1-855-766-9777] Monday to Friday, 5:00am 9:00pm PST, Saturday and Sunday, 6:00am - 5:00pm PST. All service will be provided by Sony
or Sony's authorized service providers. If you purchased on-site service, but due to special circumstances (such as environmental or technical requirements, if
your Product has failed due to ADH, repairs cannot be made on-site, or you are located more than fifty (50) miles from an authorized service provider), this
Contract will cover the shipping cost of your Product to an authorized service provider. Sony will inspect the Product and validate that the reported failure is
covered under this Contract. If the failure is not covered, you will be responsible for covering the cost of repair at that time or the Product will be returned to
you.
5. Coverage Term.
Coverage may begin either on the date of Product purchase or the date of Product shipment (if purchased online) and will end after the expiration of the term
listed on your Proof of Purchase ("Coverage Term"). This Contract provides benefits during and in addition to Sony's manufacturer limited warranty; it does not
replace Sony's manufacturer limited warranty, but provides certain additional benefits during the term of the Sony manufacturer limited warranty. There is no
