14. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS RESTRICTED RIGHTS. The Software is licensed only with
"restricted rights" and as "commercial items" consisting of "commercial software" and "commercial
software documentation" with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to the
terms and conditions herein. All Products are provided only with "restricted rights" with only those
rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and conditions herein. All Software
and Products are provided subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.227.19.
15. APPLICABLE LAW. This EULA is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where you are a resident
or, if a resident of the United States, by the laws of the state of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law
provisions. This EULA shall not be governed by the UN Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
(a) Non-United States residents. If a dispute, controversy or difference arising in any way from this
EULA or your use of the Software is not amicably settled, it shall be subject to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the jurisdiction where you are a resident. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Samsung may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any
jurisdiction.
(b) United States residents. ALL DISPUTES WITH SAMSUNG ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS
EULA OR YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND
BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT BY A COURT OR JURY. Any such dispute shall not be combined or
consolidated with any other person's or entity's claim or dispute, and specifically, without limitation of
the foregoing, shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class action. The arbitration shall
be conducted before a single arbitrator, whose award may not exceed, in form or amount, the relief
allowed by the applicable law. The arbitration shall be conducted according to the American Arbitration
Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules applicable to consumer disputes. This arbitration
provision is entered pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The laws of the State of Texas, without
reference to its choice of laws principles, shall govern the interpretation of the EULA and all disputes
that are subject to this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall decide all issues of interpretation and
application of this arbitration provision and the EULA. For any arbitration in which your total damage
claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less ("Small Claim"), the
arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs as
part of any award, but may not grant Samsung its attorney fees, expert witness fees or costs unless
it is determined that the claim was brought in bad faith. In a Small Claim case, you shall be required
to pay no more than half of the total administrative, facility and arbitrator fees, or $50.00 of such fees,
whichever is less, and Samsung shall pay the remainder of such fees. Administrative, facility and
arbitrator fees for arbitrations in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert
witness fees, exceed $5,000.00 ("Large Claim") shall be determined according to AAA rules. In a Large
Claim case, the arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion among the parties, reasonable
attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any
court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision also applies to claims against Samsung's
employees, representatives and affiliates if any such claim arises from the licensing or use of the
Software. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure by providing notice to Samsung no later
than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser's purchase of this device. To opt
out, you must send notice by e-mail to optout@sta.samsung.com, with the subject line: "Arbitration

resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect your use of the
device or its preloaded Software, and you will continue to enjoy the benefits of this license.
