LIMITED HARDWARE WARRANTY AND LIABILITY
Service policy
You understand and acknowledge that any time SCEA services your PS™ 
system (either within the Warranty Period or under a separate service 
arrangement), it may become necessary for SCEA to provide certain services to 
your PS™ system to ensure it is functioning properly in accordance with SCEA 
guidelines. Such services may include the installation of the latest software or 
firmware updates, or service or replacement of the PS™ system’s hard disk or 
the PS™ system with a new or factory recertified product. You acknowledge and 
agree that some services may change your current settings, cause a removal of 
cosmetic stickers or system skins, cause a loss of data or content, or cause some 
loss of functionality. You should back up your hard disk regularly to prevent loss of 
data, although some content cannot be backed up and must be reinstalled by the 
user. You should also remove any peripherals, non-PS™ system components, 
and any content that you consider proprietary, private, or confidential before you 
send in your PS™ system for service. SCEA shall not be liable for damages 
resulting from your failure to comply with the foregoing, or any instructions 
provided to you by SCEA. SCEA reserves the right to refuse service or void the 
warranty of any PS™ system that has been modified or tampered with.
Except as otherwise stated in the Limited Hardware Warranty and Liability 
above, you agree that (i) the services are provided "AS IS" without any 
express or implied warranties; and (ii) SCEA shall not be liable for any direct 
and indirect, consequential, or special damages, including any damages that 
may arise from loss of data or functionality. The foregoing limitation shall 
apply to the extent permitted by applicable law.
