6. Disputes, Arbitration, Governing Laws:
A. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Epson products or services or this agreement, shall be
resolved by arbitration, rather than in court, in Los Angeles County, California. If you or Epson
commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the
arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class or representative basis, available at
http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling (800) 352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this agreement.
Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable
opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this
agreement.
B. Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you agree to try, for
sixty (60) days, to resolv
e any dispute informally by
contacting us at customer.inqui[email protected]. Please include your name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the
relief requested. You agree to act in good faith to resolve the dispute, but if you and Epson do not reach a
resolution within the sixty (60) days, you may commence an arbitration.
C. Opt-out. You may elect to opt out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual arbitration
procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this agreement by sending a
written letter to Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way, Long Beach,
CA 90806, within thirty (30) days of your purchase of the Epson products and/or services that specifies
(i) your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding
individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section
6. In the event that you opt out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall
continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.
D. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. There is no judge or
jury in arbitration and your grounds for appeal are limited, however, the arbitrator is empowered to grant
relief and award you the same damages as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief.
E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in a small claims court of your state or
municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
F. Any action must be brought within three (3) months of the expiration of the warranty.
G. You and Epson each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an
individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim
proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree
