Your Obligations Before Service

required to supply a purchase receipt (or copy) to show that the product is within the warranty period.

or in packaging that affords an equal degree of protection. VIZIO Technical Support will provide

ALL USER DATA AND DOWNLOADED APPLICATIONS STORED ON A PRODUCT WILL BE DELETED IN
THE COURSE OF SOME IN-HOME AND ALL SHIP-IN WARRANTY SERVICE. If this occurs, your product
will be restored to its original state. You will be responsible for restoring all applicable user data and
downloaded applications. Recovery and reinstallation of user data and downloaded applications is not
covered under this warranty. In order to protect your personal information, VIZIO recommends that you
always clear all personal information from the product before it is serviced, regardless of the servicer.
VIZIO's Responsibilities
If VIZIO determines that a product is covered by this warranty, VIZIO will (at its option) repair or replace it,
or refund the purchase price to you. There will be no charge for parts or labor during the warranty period.
Replacement parts may be new or recertified at VIZIO's option and sole discretion. Replacement parts and
VIZIO's labor are warranted for the remaining portion of the original warranty or for ninety (90) days from
warranty service, whichever is longer.
Types of Service
TVs that are 32 inches or larger will usually be serviced in-home. In-home service requires complete and
easy access to the product and does not include de-installation or re-installation of the product. In-home
service is subject to availability. VIZIO will provide other service options when in-home service is not
available.
All other VIZIO products must be sent to a VIZIO service center to obtain warranty service. VIZIO is not
responsible for transportation costs to the service center, but VIZIO will cover return shipping to the
customer.

What to Do If You Are Not Satisfied With Service
If you feel VIZIO has not met its obligations under this warranty, you may attempt to resolve the issue
informally with VIZIO. If you are unable to resolve the issue informally and wish to file a formal claim
against VIZIO, and if you are a resident of the United States, you must submit your claim to binding
arbitration according to the procedures described below, unless an exception applies. Submitting a claim
to binding arbitration means that you do not have the right to have your claim heard by a judge or jury.
Instead your claim will be heard by a neutral arbitrator.
Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)
UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS
DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR VIZIO PRODUCT,
INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANTY, A
BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, OR THE VIZIO PRODUCT'S SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE, WILL BE
SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND
CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR
CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more about the American Arbitration Association and its
rules for arbitration by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this warranty concerns a
transaction in interstate or international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply.
The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and VIZIO, but in no event
will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the American Arbitration Association, at which point
VIZIO will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. VIZIO waives its right to recover attorneys'
fees in connection with any arbitration under this warranty. If you are the prevailing party in an arbitration
to which the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes applies, then you are entitled to
recover attorneys' fees as the arbitrator may determine.
The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which you resided at the time of
your purchase (if in the United States). The place of arbitration will be Irvine, California, or your county
of residence (if in the United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other
