WARRANTY (USA)
WARRANTY (USA)
ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION
THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF
IN COURT, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT. IN ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY
TRIALS ARE NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE THE SECTION TITLED "PROCEDURE FOR
RESOLVING DISPUTES" BELOW.
PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH
BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING
ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to "LG" mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc.,
its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents,
beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to "dispute" or
"claim" shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in
contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable
theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or
this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first
notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at
LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs,
NJ 07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve
your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product
that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If
you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim
for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during
the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims
between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below.
Any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any
other person's or entity's product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any
dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or
representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims
court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a
written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA's Consumer
Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the "AAA
Rules") and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at
www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this
provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your
written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan
Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.
If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth
in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues
are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the
