D
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 damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual
damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not
award consequential damages, and any award will be limited to monetary
damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to
any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Judgment
on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final, except
for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act, and may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by
law, neither you nor VIZIO nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence,
content, or results of any arbitration under this warranty without the
prior written consent of you and VIZIO.
ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE,
WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. VIZIO AND YOU
AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY
DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER
PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED,
OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING
WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ANY SUCH
ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING.
Exceptions to Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver
IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THEN: (1) you must notify
VIZIO in writing within sixty (60) days of the date that you purchased the
product; (2) your written notification must be mailed to VIZIO at 39 Tesla,
Irvine, CA 92618, Attn: Legal Department; and (3) your written notification

the product, and (d) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the
binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver.
In addition, you may pursue a claim in small claims court in your county of
residence (if in the United States) or in Orange County, California. In such
case the provisions of the section titled “Binding Arbitration Agreement;
Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents)” will not apply.

then the entire section titled “Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action
Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)” will not apply. This warranty applies to the
