Exclusions and limitations
Except as stated above, Sony makes no warranties (express, implied, statutory or otherwise) regarding product or accompanying or constituent software quality, performance, accuracy, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise. If this exclusion is not permitted or fully permitted by applicable law, Sony excludes or limits its warranties only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any warranty that cannot be fully excluded will be limited (as far as permitted by applicable law) to the duration of this Guarantee.
Sony's only obligation under this Guarantee is to repair or replace products subject to these
Guarantee terms and conditions. Sony is not liable for any loss or damage relating to
products, service, this Guarantee or otherwise, including
