source licenses by the Open Source Initiative or any substantially similar
licenses, including without limitation any license that, as a condition of
distribution of the software licensed under such license, requires that the
distributor make the software available in source code format (such third-party
components, “Third-Party Components”). A list of Third-Party Components, and
associated license terms (as required), for particular versions of the Software
is indicated at https://support.epson.net/terms/, the end of
this Agreement, relevant user manual/CD, or the license information displayed
on your Device/in Software. To the extent required by the licenses covering
Third-Party Components, the terms of such licenses will apply in lieu of the
terms of this Agreement. To the extent the terms of the licenses applicable to
Third-Party Components prohibit any of the restrictions in this Agreement with
respect to such Third-Party Components, such restrictions will not apply to
such Third-Party Component.
6. Multiple Versions of
Software.
You
may receive or obtain the Software in more than one version (e.g. for different
operating environments; two or more language translation versions; downloaded
from an Epson server or on a CD-ROM), however, regardless of the type or number
of copies you receive, you still may use only the media or version appropriate
for the license granted in Section 1 above.
7. Disclaimer of Warranty and
Remedy.
Subject
to Section 25 (which may apply to you if you acquire goods and services from
Epson in Australia), if you obtained the Software by media from Epson or a
dealer, Epson warrants that the media on which the Software is recorded will be
free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use for a period of
90 days from the date of delivery to you. If the media is returned to Epson or
the dealer from which the media was obtained within 90 days of the date of
delivery to you, and if Epson determines the media to be defective and provided
the media was not subject to misuse, abuse, misapplication or use in defective
equipment, Epson will replace the media, upon your return to Epson of the
Software, including all copies of any portions thereof. You acknowledge and
agree that the use of the Software is at your sole risk. THE SOFTWARE IS
PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. EPSON AND ITS SUPPLIERS
DO NOT AND CANNOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS YOU MAY OBTAIN BY USING
THE SOFTWARE. Epson does not warrant that the operation of the Software will be
uninterrupted, error free, free from viruses or other harmful components or
vulnerabilities, or that the functions of the Software will meet your needs or requirements, or does not warrant the availability of any
Third-Party Services through the Software. Epson’s sole and exclusive liability
and your exclusive remedy for breach of warranty shall be limited to the
replacement of the media for the Software. Any replacement Software will be
warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30)
days, whichever is longer. Epson is not liable for performance delays or for
nonperformance due to causes beyond its reasonable control. This Limited
Warranty is void if failure of the Software resulted
from accident, abuse, or misapplication. THE STATED LIMITED WARRANTIES AND
REMEDY ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS. EPSON DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL
WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, HOWEVER,
DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, AND IN SUCH
STATES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
8. Limitation of Liability.
Subject
to Sections 25 and/or 28 (which may apply to you if you acquire goods and
services from Epson in Australia), TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EPSON OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING UNDER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY, MISREPRESENTATION, OR
OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS,
BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS,
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, OR ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF EPSON OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF DAMAGES IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS, AND IN SUCH STATES, THE ABOVE
LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY. FURTHERMORE,
EVEN IF THE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS IN PARAGRAPH 1 AND PARAGRAPH 2 OF THIS
SECTION DO NOT APPLY AND THE APPLICATION OF THE CLAUSES REGARDING EXEMPTION AND
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET OUT IN OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SECTION 7) IS HELD TO BE WHOLLY AND PARTIALLY
INVALID, AND EPSON IS LIABLE FOR COMPENSATION, THE LIABILITY BORNE BY EPSON
WILL BE LIMITED, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE UNDER LAW, TO DIRECT DAMAGES THAT ARE
NORMALLY INCURRED, AND EPSON WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOST PROFITS
OR OTHER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SAME SHALL APPLY,
TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE UNDER LAW, IN CASES WHERE THERE IS ANY WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF EPSON. If Epson is liable for damages because
of the reasons that are attributable to Epson, such liability shall be borne
solely by Epson and the platformer from which you downloaded the Software shall
not be liable.
9. U.S. Government Acquisition
of the Software.
This
Section applies to all acquisitions of the Software by or for the U.S.
Government (“Government”), or by any prime contractor or subcontractor (at any
tier) under any contract, grant, cooperative agreement, “other transaction”
(“OT”), or other activity with the Government. By accepting delivery of the
Software, the Government, any prime contractor, and any subcontractor agree (a)
that the Software qualifies as “Commercial products,” as that term is defined
at 48 C.F.R. Section2.101, consisting of “Commercial computer software” and
“Commercial computer software documentation,” as such terms are used in 48
C.F.R. Section 12.212 or 48 C.F.R. Section 227.7202, as applicable, and (b)
that consistent with 48 C.F.R. Section 12.212 or 48 C.F.R. Sections 227.7202-1
through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the Software is provided to the Government
only as a Commercial product and with only those rights as are granted to all
other end users pursuant to this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this
Agreement govern the Government’s (and the prime contractor and
subcontractor’s) use and disclosure of the Software, and
supersede any conflicting terms and conditions of the contract, grant,
cooperative agreement, OT, or other activity pursuant to which the Software is
delivered to the Government. If this Software fails to meet the Government’s
needs, if this Agreement is inconsistent in any respect with Federal law, or if
the above cited provisions of 48. C.F.R do not govern, the Government agrees to
return the Software, unused, to Epson.
10. Export Restriction.
You
agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any
country or used in any manner prohibited by the United States Export
Administration Act or any other export laws, restrictions or regulations.
11. Entire Agreement.
Subject
to Section 28 (which may apply to you if you acquire goods and services from
Epson in Australia), this Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties
related to the Software and supersedes any purchase order, communication,
advertisement, or representation concerning the Software.
12. Binding Agreement;
Assignees.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties
hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives.
13. Severability; Modifications.
If
any provision herein is found void or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction (subject to Section 22.8 and 22.9 if you are a located in the
U.S.), it will not affect the validity of the balance of the Agreement, which
shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. Epson may modify the
provisions of this Agreement by posting a revised version of this Agreement and
its effective date within the Software in advance, or by providing advance
notice to you to the extent reasonably practicable. Epson may provide shorter
or no advance notice of the changes if it determines that doing so is
reasonable to manage significant risks. Epson must act reasonably and modify
the provisions of this Agreement only to the extent reasonably necessary to
protect its legitimate business interests. For example, Epson may modify the
provisions of this Agreement to reflect new features or functionality provided
in the Software, to protect Epson's intellectual property, to prevent fraud or
misuse of the Software, for security or technical reasons, or due to changes in
applicable law. The most recent version of this Agreement will be available
through the Software and will apply from the effective date, superseding any
previous version. The revised Agreement will become effective on the Effective
Date. To the extent permitted by law, your continued use of the Software after
the effective date of the revised terms will constitute your acceptance of the
changes. If you do not agree to the terms of the revised Agreement, you must
discontinue use of the Software.
14. Indemnification.
Subject
to Section 28 (which may apply to you if you acquire goods and services from
Epson in Australia), you agree that you will indemnify and hold harmless, and
upon Epson’s request, defend Epson and its directors, officers, shareholders,
employees and agents from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), actions, suits, and
claims arising from (i) any breach of any of your obligations in this Agreement
or (ii) any use of the Software or the Epson Hardware. If Epson asks you to
defend any such action, suit or claim, Epson will have the right, at its own
expense, to participate in the defense thereof with counsel of its choice. You
will not settle any third-party claims for which Epson is entitled to
indemnification without the prior written approval of Epson.
15. Termination.
Subject
to Section 28 (which may apply to you if you acquire goods and services from
Epson in Australia), without prejudice to any other rights Epson has, your
license rights under Section 1 above and your warranty rights under Section 7
above, shall automatically terminate upon failure by you to comply with this
Agreement. Upon termination of such rights, you agree that the Software, and
all copies thereof, will be immediately destroyed.
16. Capacity and Authority to
Contract.

to Section 28 (which may apply to you if you acquire goods and services from
Epson in Australia), if applicable, due authorization by your employer to enter
into this Agreement.
17. Privacy, Information
Processing.
The

Epson Hardware such as model and serial number, country identifier, language
code, operating system information, and Epson Hardware usage information to an
Epson Internet site which may return promotional or service information to your

Software, shall be according to applicable data protection laws and the Epson
Privacy Policy located at https://global.epson.com/privacy/area_select_confirm_eula.html. To the extent
permitted by applicable laws, by agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and by
installing the Software, you consent to the processing and storage of your
information in and/or outside your country of residence. If there is a specific
privacy policy incorporated into the Software and/or displayed when you use the
Software (for example, in the case of certain software application software),
such specific privacy policy shall prevail over the Epson Privacy Policy stated
above.
17.2 Temporary Stoppage etc. of
the provision of the use of the Software.
In
any of the events set forth in the following items, or any events where it is reasonably
necessary to protect its legitimate interests, Epson reserves all rights to
temporarily stop or suspend or terminate the provision of the use of the
Software and discontinue or terminate support of the Epson Products and the
Software, at any time. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Epson shall
not be liable for any disadvantage, loss, damage, liability, penalty, fine,
charge, expense, payment or cost of any nature or kind incurred by you due to
the said stoppage, suspension or termination of the provision of the use of the
Software or the supports of the Epson Products and the Software.
(1)
Epson
needs to conduct maintenance of the server in relation to the provision of the
use of the Software, or when Epson needs to perform emergency maintenance as a
result of trouble with or disruptions of the Software;

regulation or any measure implemented under the foregoing, or when it becomes
necessary to stop, suspend or terminate the provision of the use of the Software
due to a governmental or legal order.
17.3 Subcontracting.
Epson
may, at its discretion, subcontract, to a third party
including a platformer, all or part of the work required for the provision of Software.
18. Third Party Websites.
You
may, through hypertext or other computer links from the Software, gain access
to websites and use certain services that are not under the control of or
operated by Epson, but rather are controlled by third parties. You acknowledge
and agree that Epson is not responsible for such third party
sites or services, including their accuracy, completeness, timeliness,
validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality, or any other aspect
thereof. These third party websites/services are
subject to different terms and conditions and when you access and use third
party websites/services, you will be legally bound by the terms and conditions
of those websites/services. The third party
websites’/services’ terms and conditions will govern with respect to your
access and use of those websites/services. Although Epson may provide a link to
a third party website/service from the Software, such
a link is not an authorization, endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation by
Epson with respect to such website/services, its content, its owners or its
providers. Epson provides such links for your reference and convenience only.
Accordingly, Epson makes no representations whatsoever concerning such
websites/services and does not provide any support related to such third party sites or services. Epson has not tested any

of this or any prior Agreement arising out of or relating to this Agreement
(including its formation, performance, or breach), the Software, Epson
Hardware, the parties’ relationship with each other and/or any other
transaction involving you and Epson, whether in contract, or with respect to
warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute,
regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. However, a
“Dispute” does not include a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark
infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement, (c) copyright infringement
or misuse, or (d) trade secret misappropriation (an “IP Claim”). A “Dispute”
also does not include a request for public injunctive relief. You and Epson
agree, consistent with Section 22.6(a), that a court, not an arbitrator, may
decide if a claim or cause of action is for an IP Claim, as well as whether a
claim seeks public injunctive relief.
22.2 Initial Dispute Resolution.
Before
submitting a claim for arbitration in accordance with this Section 22, you and
Epson agree to try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If
Epson and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within the sixty
(60) days, you or Epson may commence an arbitration in accordance with Section
22.6. Notice to Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal
Department, 3131 Katella Avenue, Los Alamitos, CA 90720-2335. Any notice of the
Dispute shall include the sender’s name, address and contact information, the
facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. Any notice sent to
you will be sent to the most recent address Epson has in its records for you.
For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address changes by
emailing us at EAILegal@ea.epson.com or writing us at the address above. You
and Epson agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing
arbitration in accordance with this Section 22. To minimize the cost and inconvenience
to all parties, and to promote prompt resolution of Disputes, you and we agree
that engaging in this initial dispute resolution process is a material term of
this Agreement and a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing any
arbitration.
Consistent with
Section 22.6(a), you and Epson agree that any disagreements regarding
compliance with this Section 22.2 shall be decided by a court, not an
arbitrator; pending resolution of any such disagreements by a court, which may
include requests to compel compliance with this Section 22.2, you and we agree
that arbitration (as well as any obligation to pay arbitration fees) shall be
stayed until the initial dispute resolution process in Section 22.2 is
complete. You and Epson acknowledge that either party’s failure to comply with
the provisions of this Section 22.2 would irreparably harm the other, and you
and Epson agree that a court may issue an order staying arbitration (and any
obligation to pay arbitration fees) until the initial dispute resolution
process in this Section 22.2 is complete.
22.3 Binding Arbitration.
If
we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from
the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 22.2 above,
then either party may initiate binding arbitration. Except as stated below in
Section 22.4, you and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by
binding arbitration according to this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU
WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING, AND YOUR RIGHT TO
DISCOVERY AND GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE MORE LIMITED THAN IN COURT. Pursuant to
this Agreement, and except as stated below in Section 22.6(h), binding
arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized arbitration
provider, pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or
its applicable code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes, but excluding any rules that permit class
arbitration. For more detail on the procedure to initiate arbitration and what
your demand for arbitration should include, see Sections 22.6(g) and 22.6(h)
below. You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act
(9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this
Section 22, (b) this Agreement memorializes a transaction in interstate
commerce, and (c) this Section 22 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
22.4 Exception - Small Claims
Court.
Notwithstanding
the parties’ agreement to resolve Disputes through arbitration, either party
can elect to have an individual claim resolved in small claims court of your
state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction, even
if the claim was initiated by another party in a different forum.
22.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND
CLASS ARBITRATION.
YOU
AND EPSON AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY
IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS action or class arbitration. If
any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in
this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration
can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in
Section 22.3 shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties
shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
22.6 Arbitration Procedure.
(a)
The arbitrator
shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under
law or in equity, except for requests for public injunctive relief, if any,
which shall be decided by a court, not an arbitrator. If either party seeks
public injunctive relief, that request for relief shall be severed from any
arbitration proceeding and stayed pending a final determination of the
arbitration. Nothing in Section 22 of this Agreement shall be construed as a
waiver of either party’s right to seek public injunctive relief, and you and we
agree to cooperate to effect the stay of any requests
for public injunctive relief.
The
arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any
federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to
resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation,
applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including any
claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.
Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the arbitrator, and
consistent with Sections 22.1, 22.2, 22.6(a) and 22.6(h) of this Agreement, a
court may determine: (i) the limited question of whether a claim or cause of
action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of “Disputes”
in Section 22.1 above; (ii) disagreements regarding compliance with the initial
dispute resolution provisions in Section 22.2 above; (iii) disagreements
regarding claims for public injunctive relief as set forth in this Section
22.6(a); and/or (iv) disagreements regarding the provisions for “Mass
Arbitration” in Section 22.6(h) below.
(b)
Costs of Arbitration and Legal Fees.
In some
instances, the costs of arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation. Each
party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration
at its own expense. If, however, the arbitrator determines that a claim or
defense asserted by you or Epson is patently frivolous or in bad faith, the
arbitrator may award the reasonable legal fees and costs incurred by the other
party defending against the claim or defense. By way of illustration only, and
without limitation, a patently frivolous claim may be found where it is based
on a product never purchased by a claimant.
(c)
Discovery.
The discovery
or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be
allowed during the arbitration. The right to discovery may be more limited in
arbitration than in court.
(d)
Awards.
The
arbitrator’s award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
(e)
Hearing Format and Location.
You may choose
to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone or, if you and we both agree, to
conduct it online, in lieu of appearing live. Arbitration hearings not
conducted by telephone or online shall take place in a location reasonably
accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange County, California, at
your option.
(f)
Settlement Offers.
During the
arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed to
the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to
which you or Epson is entitled.
(g)
Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding Before JAMS.
Except as
stated in Section 22.6(h) below, if you or Epson commences arbitration, the
arbitration shall be governed by the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and
Procedures or the applicable rules of JAMS that are in effect when the
arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a
class-wide basis (the “JAMS Rules”), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling
1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes
shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, which shall be selected in
accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and both
parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of
the arbitrator. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute before
JAMS, both parties agree to the following procedure:
(i)
Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the
Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be
recovered. The demand also must identify the product purchased, identify the
date and place of purchase and, if possible, provide the serial number and
proof of purchase. You can find a copy of a demand for arbitration at http://www.jamsadr.com.
(ii)
Send three copies of the demand for arbitration, plus the appropriate filing
fee, to: JAMS, 500 North State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868,
U.S.A.
(iii)
Send one copy of the demand for arbitration to the other party (at the same
address as the notice of a dispute, above in section
22.2), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.
(h)
Initiation of Mass Arbitration Before FedArb.
Notwithstanding
Sections 22.3 and 22.6(g), if 20 or more demands for arbitration are filed
relating to the same or similar subject matter and sharing common issues of law
or fact, and counsel for the parties submitting the demands are the same or
coordinated, you and we agree that this will constitute a “Mass Arbitration”.
If
a Mass Arbitration is commenced, you and we agree that
it shall not be governed by JAMS Rules or administered by JAMS. Instead, a Mass
Arbitration shall be administered by FedArb, a
nationally recognized arbitration provider, and governed by the FedArb Rules in effect when the Mass Arbitration is filed,
excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class-wide basis (the “FedArb Rules”), and under the rules set forth in this
Agreement. The FedArb Rules are available at https://www.fedarb.com/ or by calling
1-650-328-9500. You and we agree that the Mass Arbitration shall be resolved
using FedArb’s Framework for Mass Arbitration
Proceedings ADR-MDL, available at https://www.fedarb.com/.
Before
any Mass Arbitration is filed with FedArb, you and we
agree to contact FedArb jointly to advise that the
parties intend to use FedArb’s Framework for Mass
Arbitration Proceedings ADR-MDL. The individual demands comprising the Mass Arbitration shall be submitted on FedArb’s claim form(s) and as directed by FedArb.
Consistent
with Section 22.6(a) above, you and Epson agree that if either party fails or
refuses to commence the Mass Arbitration before FedArb,
you or Epson may seek an order from a court of competent jurisdiction
compelling compliance with this Section 22.6(h) and compelling administration
of the Mass Arbitration before FedArb. Pending
resolution of any such requests to a court, you and we agree that all
arbitrations comprising the Mass Arbitration (and any obligation to pay
arbitration fees) shall be stayed. You and Epson acknowledge that either
party’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 22.6(h) would
irreparably harm the other, and you and Epson agree that a court may issue an
order staying the arbitrations (and any obligation to pay arbitration fees)
until any disagreements over the provisions of this Section 22.6(h) are
resolved by the court.
22.7 30 Day Opt-out Right.
You
may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual
arbitration procedure and waiver of class proceedings set forth in Sections
22.3 to 22.6 of this Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson address
listed above in Section 22.2 within thirty (30) days of your assent to this
Agreement 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 proceedings specified in this Section 22. In the
event that you opt-out consistent
with the procedure set forth above, all other terms set forth in the Agreement,
including this Section 22, shall continue to apply, including the requirement
to provide notice prior to litigation. If you opt-out
of these arbitration provisions, Epson will also not be bound by them.
22.8 Amendments to Section 22.
Notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Epson agree that if
Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class
action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson’s address) in this
Agreement, Epson will obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable
amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the applicable amendment, you
are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in
accordance with the language of this Section 22 (or resolve disputes as
provided for in Section 22, if you timely elected to opt-out) when you first
assented to this Agreement.
22.9 Severability.
If
any provision in this Section 22 is found to be unenforceable, that provision
shall be severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force
and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class
actions as provided in Section 22.5. This means that if Section 22.5 is found
to be unenforceable, the entire Section 22 (but only Section 22) shall be null
and void.
23. For New Jersey Residents.
NOTWITHSTANDING
ANY TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF ANY OF THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN
SECTIONS 7 OR 8 ARE HELD UNENFORCEABLE, VOID OR INAPPLICABLE UNDER NEW JERSEY

AGREEMENT SHALL REMAIN BINDING ON YOU AND EPSON. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION
IN THIS AGREEMENT, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO, NOR SHALL IT BE
