To the extent that any provision of these Terms relates solely to such

4. SUBSCRIPTION OR CHARGES BASED ON CONTENT AND/OR SERVICES

Some or all Site content and/or Services available on or via this site may be
available conditioned on your purchase of a subscription or payment of a
one-time charge. If you elect for subscription-based content/Services and send
Sony a subscription application, you represent and warrant that you are at least
18 years old, that all information you submit is true and accurate (including,
without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date), and you agree
to pay all applicable subscription fees you incur plus all applicable taxes. You

period and to any applicable terms regarding availability/unavailability of
refunds for unused periods). Except where expressly provided in other applicable
terms, where subscription fees, access charges or other fees including one-time
charges are levied in respect of Services or access to, or download of content
from, this site (Fees), Fees shall be payable by Users in advance at the time,
by the means of payment and at the rates stipulated by Sony. Where charged, Fees
are subject to change at any time. Sony will make commercially reasonable
efforts to inform Users who subscribe for Fee-based content and/or Services of
any such changes in advance. Where User elects via or in connection with this
site to download or receive content for which Fees are payable (such as, without
limitation, certain mobile phone ringtones, screen savers, background wallpaper
designs, or games), User represents and warrants that his or her
access/receiving device supports such download/receipt and that it is compatible
with the format of the requested content. After download/sending of such content
(1) Fees paid in advance shall not be refunded, and (2) subject to any express
limitations, you may save the content on the destination device for which it was
intended but you are strictly prohibited from saving it elsewhere, editing or
modifying it, copying, distributing, or forwarding it to third parties or
allowing third parties to access it. The provisions of these Terms relating to
Site content (as defined below) shall also apply to any such sent/downloaded
content.


5. USER REGISTRATION AND LOGGING ON/OFF

To post, upload, or download materials, communicate via and to access this site,
Services, resources, and certain or all Site content (defined below), User may
be asked to provide registration details and log on. It is a condition of use of
this site, Services, and Site content that all registration details User
provides are and will remain true, correct, current, and complete. You agree to
notify Sony immediately of any changes that are relevant to your registration.
Notification should be made to the address or email address for Sony given on
this site or in these Terms above. If Sony believes the details are not correct,
current, or complete, or if Sony otherwise in its discretion believes such
action would be appropriate (including where it suspects the registration of
multiple accounts/User profiles by the same individual), it has the right to
refuse User’s access to the site, and/or any of its resources, Services, and
Site content, and to terminate or suspend User’s account (if any).

Where you log on in order to gain access to this site or a part of this site,
where Sony provides a “log-off,” “exit” (or similar) option, you undertake to
log off and exit from your account at the end of your session. Sony reserves the
right to log off logged on Users whose accounts are inactive for an extended
period of time. If one of the Services you access via this site is access to the
Internet itself (e.g., ISP Service), when you are connected, in order to
preserve quality of service for our users as a whole Sony, reserves the right
(1) to disconnect you from the Service if your connection to the Service is idle
or in any event after 15 minutes or such other time limit as we choose in our
reasonable discretion, and/or (2) to limit the total number of Users connected
to the Service at any one time and/or the length of time for which a User may be
connected in one session.


6. PASSWORDS AND ACCOUNT DETAILS

User is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his or her password,
account number, ID, and other details (if any) and for all activities under
User’s account. Any unauthorized use of User’s account or other breach of
security should be reported to Sony immediately. Your registration and/or
subscription is personal to you and you may not disclose or make available your
account name, ID, or password to others. Any disclosure by you of your account
name and password may result in termination of your registration and/or
subscription, and, where you register for fee/subscription-based
content/Services, such termination shall be without refund and may be subject to
additional charges based on unauthorized use.

displaying notices on this site or other communication means. Users who access
this site after changes have been posted on the site or otherwise communicated,
shall be bound by such changes as soon as such notices or new Terms are posted

these Terms is therefore recommended.

“SPAM” AND UPLOAD OF DESTRUCTIVE MATERIALS

All forms of “spam” or junk email, including uploading or sending multiple
unsolicited submissions to different discussion groups, mailing lists, and all
activities that facilitate spam, are prohibited on or via this site. Unless
Sony’s actual damages (where reasonably calculable) exceed this amount (in which
case the actual damages shall be payable by User), by way of liquidated damages,
you agree to pay Sony an amount of 5 euro for each item of “spam” sent through
your User account in breach of these Terms. Sony prohibits the uploading of
computer programs, files, and other materials that contain destructive or
disruptive features such as viruses, corrupted files, “hidden” files (such as
image files with audio files embedded), worms, Trojan horses, or bots for the
use of scrolling, showing multiple screens, and other activities that can be
disruptive to website integrity or functioning or online communication
generally.  


13. REVIEW OF USER CONTENT BY SONY

Through this site, Sony merely offers a “venue” for Users to access certain
specified services, Utilities, and/or information. Sony cannot and does not
undertake to screen, review, edit, censor, or otherwise filter or control User
content or the behavior of Users or User content or Site content. However, Sony
may, but shall not be obliged to, review, either by manual or automated means,
all User content that is or may be uploaded on this site, and monitor or review
any areas of this site where Users transmit or post communications or
communicate with each other or Sony (as applicable), including, without
limitation, chat rooms, news groups, bulletin boards, community pages,
photograph albums, personal web pages, or other use areas and forums (Forums),
as applicable. Sony retains the right (but disclaims any obligation) to reject,
not post, not use, remove, amend, deny access to, and/or delete any User
content, without notification, which it, in its sole discretion, considers to be
inappropriate or distasteful or otherwise in breach of these Terms (or their
spirit) and without any requirement for any complaint or claim in respect of the
relevant User content to be formally commenced or proved. Sony retains the right
(but is under no obligation) to co-operate with any law enforcement authorities
or in response to court and other official requests directing that Sony disclose
the identity of anyone posting User content.


14. NO LIABILITY—USER CONTENT AND SITE USE

The materials, information, and opinions (which may include User content)
included and/or expressed in or on Forums (or via any other means of accessing
User content) are not necessarily those of (or endorsed by) Sony or Sony
Affiliates or related entities. All User content should be considered
expressions of opinion only and not statements of fact. Any User content and/or
Services you obtain or use, or convey through site use, including use of any
Forums, will be at your own discretion and risk and are subject to the
disclaimers and liability limitations in these Terms. The security of this site
and User content cannot be guaranteed. You understand that whenever you release
personal or other information online—for example, via message boards or chat
rooms and other Forums—that information can be collected and used by people you
do not know. While Sony makes all reasonable commercial efforts to protect your
personal information and privacy, it cannot guarantee the security of any
information you disclose online. You make such disclosures at your own risk.
Except in relation to personal information submitted by a User for the purposes
of registration or opening or updating that User’s account (in relation to which
Sony makes all reasonable commercial efforts to protect your privacy), Sony
shall not be liable in respect of (and disclaims all liability in relation to)
User content submitted to an area of the site designated as (or expected to be)
a private, personal, or limited access area of the site that becomes available
to persons other than the User who submitted the User content. Similarly, Sony
shall not be liable in respect of (and disclaims all liability in relation to)
any non-availability of User content submitted to an area of the site designated
as a public area of the site or other Forums where Users other than the User who
submitted the User content may gain access to such content.

Sony is under no obligation to become involved in any dispute you have with
other Users or in any incident you are party to with other Users, or that are
affected by or otherwise related to this site.

Sony disclaims all liability relating to any User content, including any error,
virus, defamation, libel, obscenity, or inaccuracy contained in any User
content, whether or not arising under the laws of copyright, libel, privacy, or
otherwise, any prohibited User content and any other User content.

Sony disclaims all liability for unauthorized use (by other Users) of User
content, and disclaims (without limitation) all liability for use of User
content that breaches any copyright, trademark rights, or other intellectual
property rights of any other User or person.

User is solely responsible for any damage (including to Site content) resulting
from use (or submission) of any User content or the site (including disputes and
incidents described in the preceding sections) and related transactions or
occurrences.

Sony shall have no responsibility for unauthorized access to User’s account, or
automatic forwarding of messages and/or viruses (caused by viruses or otherwise)
to persons whose details have been submitted by a User for inclusion in any
on-line address book available through this site.

The limitations on and exclusions of liability in these Terms apply regardless
of whether the liability is based on breach of contract, tort (including
negligence or defamation), strict liability, breach of warranties, or any other
legal theory.


15. STORAGE AND LOSS OF USER CONTENT

Where Sony provides email facilities, web hosting, or other services via this
site involving the provision of computer storage space, or in relation to other
relevant Services, Sony reserves the right to impose and vary limits and/or
restrictions (temporary or otherwise) on the use of the Service, including,
without limitation, limits on the storage provided by reference to storage space
(e.g., a maximum total limit and/or a maximum per file/email size limit),
time/age of files (e.g., emails older than 180 days), number and/or size of
files (e.g., a maximum number of emails that may be sent from, stored within, or
received by your account), amount of data down- or uploaded, or any other
criteria Sony may specify. Without limiting the following paragraph, material
that exceeds any such limit may be deleted or not accepted for such storage.
Users may not on-sell any storage space offered through this site. Sony shall
not be liable for any loss, deletion, removal, or failure of delivery to the
intended recipient of User content uploaded to this site, whether caused by
computer virus, unauthorized access, or otherwise. Users are encouraged to
retain a back-up copy of all User content and Users undertake that they shall do
so in respect of all uploaded User content. Sony reserves the right to deny
access to this site and delete User content at any time without notice.


16. NO WARRANTIES—SITE SERVICES AND SITE CONTENT

All Site content and Services are provided “as is” and “as available” and Sony
expressly disclaims, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any
warranties and representations of any kind (Warranties) with respect to Site
content and Services, either expressed or implied, including any implied
warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular
purpose, and non-infringement of third-party intellectual property rights.
Without limitation: Sony gives no Warranty that Site content is appropriate,
available, or permitted for use in all locations, that it is virus-free or as to
its interoperability with any hardware, software, or content, or as to User’s
ability through this site to access or interact with any other service
providers, networks, users, or informational or computing resources through the
Internet. Those who access this site and use Site content and/or Services are
responsible for compliance with all applicable law and regulations, including
any applicable local laws.

Although Sony has attempted to verify the accuracy, reliability, and currency of
all Site content, including (as applicable) products, services, support, and
other details and descriptions obtained from third parties, Sony gives no
Warranty as to the accuracy of any statements in this site. Any materials,
products, support, services, or information at or referred to in this site may
be out of date. Sony makes no commitment to update Site content. Sony disclaims
any liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in Site content
(except insofar as such disclaimer would be inconsistent with its warranties and
other terms and conditions related to product or service sales, if any, by
Sony). Any decisions based on information contained in Site content (or User
content) are User’s sole responsibility.

Sony gives no Warranty that functions or Services available through and other
User interactions with the site will be constantly available, uninterrupted,
secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected or that this site or the
server that makes it available are free from viruses or other harmful
components. Sony and Sony Affiliates assume no responsibility, and are not
liable for, any damage to (or loss of data from), or viruses that may infect,
your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, or use
of this site, including downloading any images, software, or other Site content.
If use of Site content results in the need for servicing, repair, or correction
in equipment or data, User assumes all costs in that regard.

Information in Site content (and User content) does not constitute legal,
professional, financial, or medical advice and should not be relied upon. Site
content containing forward-looking statements or statements of intention should
not be relied upon. Sony reserves its right not to act in accordance with any
such statements.

This site may contain references to specific Sony products and services that may
be or may not be readily available in a particular country. Any such reference
shall not be taken as implying or warranting that any such products or services
shall be available at any time in any particular country.

Where applicable law prohibits or limits Sony’s exclusion of Warranties as set
out above, Sony excludes, disclaims, and limits such Warranties only to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law.


17. TRANSACTIONS WITH THIRD PARTIES

Where it is possible for Users to transact through this site (or any linked
site) with a third party (including other Users or a service provider or product
seller) who is not Sony, such transaction shall be (and any rights and
obligations shall arise) solely between you and the third party.


18. SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS AND ONLINE APPLICATIONS—RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

Any drivers, software, programs (including all upgrades and updates), browser
plug-ins, peripherals, and other applications, computer based services or
utilities, any software made available to Users in connection with, or to
facilitate access to, any subscription associated with this site and all files
and images, incorporated in or generated by software, programs, and other
materials available for download, or as a remote application or service, from
the Site content (Utilities) are provided by way of support and service to
Users. Title to Utilities (whether downloaded or not) is not transferred to
Users and is owned (as to all intellectual property rights therein) by Sony,
Sony Affiliates, or the relevant licensors. User’s use of any Utilities shall be
governed also by the terms of any associated on- or offline documents, end user
license or other relevant agreements, and terms and conditions specified by the
relevant vendor or licensor (EULA) (which shall supersede these Terms, in the
case of any inconsistency with these Terms). Where no EULA accompanies a
Utility, the Utility is licensed to you on a single-user, non-transferable,
non-exclusive, revocable basis.

Utilities may be used only as specified in the applicable EULA. User may not
reproduce, copy, rent, lease, reverse engineer, decompile, or sell Utilities,
except to the extent expressly permitted by the EULA or by applicable law.
Unauthorized use of Utilities violates copyright and other intellectual property
rights and Sony or the relevant licensor (as appropriate) reserves all rights.

Sony does not give any Warranty with regard to the accuracy or reliability of
the results or output that derives from the use of Utilities. Sony does not
accept any responsibility for loss of data or damage caused by the installation
or use of any of the downloaded Utilities, or give any other Warranty, or accept
any liability whatsoever with respect to Utilities.

Sony recommends that Users (and Users warrant that they shall) always create and
retain a copy of all data in hardware (with or in which Utilities will be
installed or used) before installing or using any Utilities.

Sony and Sony Affiliates do not (except as specifically stated in an applicable
EULA, if at all) offer support or assistance in using, installing, or
maintaining any Utilities, or resolving issues or problems that may occur as a
result of using or installing Utilities.

You acknowledge that the Utilities, and any accompanying documentation and/or
technical information, may be subject to applicable export control laws and
regulations. You agree not to export or re-export the Utilities, directly or
indirectly, in breach of any such laws or regulations.

Where Sony agrees (in writing) to provide technical support in relation to a
Sony product, it shall only provide that support on the relevant Sony products
with operating systems and other software in the same form and version as
shipped from the Sony or Sony Affiliate factory, and may elect not to provide
support on Sony products on which Utilities have been subsequently incorporated
or loaded.

Applicable EULAs may impose additional Warranty and liability exclusions or
limitations on Utilities.

The downloading of any Utility constitutes acceptance of these Terms. If you do
not agree with these Terms, you may not download any Utility or accompanying
online documentation.


19. NO LIABILITY—SITE CONTENT

Sony, Sony Affiliates, and all other persons involved in creating, producing,
hosting, or delivering Site content shall not be liable for any direct,
indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including in
respect of loss of data, loss of profit, business interruption or time incurred,
or damages of any other nature (including arising out of negligence and other
torts) that result from the use of, or the inability to use, Site content, even
if Sony or an authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of
such damages. Applicable law may not permit the liability exclusions in this
section in all cases. The liability exclusions in this section apply only to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In no case will Sony’s liability for
damage and loss (whether in contract, negligence, tort, or otherwise) exceed the
amount paid by User for accessing this site (except as otherwise prescribed by
mandatory, applicable law).

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude Sony’s or Sony Affiliates’ liability for
death or personal injury arising from Sony’s or any Sony Affiliate’s negligence.


20. PERSONAL INFORMATION, PRIVACY, AND COOKIES

By submitting information via this site or any related telephone registration
process: You consent to the processing of data personal to you, such as your
name and title, address, telephone number, contact details, and other personal
details (“Personal Data”), in accordance with the terms notified in the
“Personal Data” (or similarly entitled) part of the registration/data input form
or telephone registration process for this site. You acknowledge that the
processing of your Personal Data is necessary and/or desirable for the
personalization of your visit to this site and/or the granting and controlling
of access to this site or parts thereof to registered Users or paying
subscribers, and you consent to such processing. In certain circumstances Sony
may seek additional personal information, such as photocopies of identification
documents or credit cards, for example, for identity verification or fraud
prevention purposes. Where such additional information is submitted to Sony in
connection with this site, it shall also be regarded as “Personal Data.” Sony
may share, make available, or transmit Personal Data to other departments and
divisions in Sony and Sony Affiliates within Europe and (subject to Sony’s
strict compliance with applicable data protection laws) overseas, including Sony
Corporation, Japan. Sony will not disclose Personal Data to entities and
persons, other than Sony Affiliates (third parties), without your consent,
except in the cases below.

Personal Data may be disclosed to third parties to enable (1) the performance of
contracts you are party to or for other purposes specified in these Terms or in
the “Personal Data” (or similarly entitled) part of the registration/data input
form or telephone registration process for this site; or (2) compliance with
legal obligations to which Sony or any Sony Affiliate is subject. Personal Data
may be disclosed to third parties to enable them to provide services for or on
behalf of, or at the direction of, Sony or Sony Affiliates. In such cases, Sony
takes measures to ensure that the third parties comply with Sony’s privacy
policy and that such recipients (1) do not use Personal Data other than for the
purposes permitted; (2) obtain and process Personal Data only on condition that
they secure that Personal Data from unauthorized use and adopt and comply with
similarly stringent policies and terms on Personal Data protection and use; and
(3) comply strictly with applicable laws.

Where Personal Data is provided in connection with transactions connected with
this site involving payments (such as payment for subscriptions), Sony may
transmit Personal Data to third parties who are credit/fraud probability
assessment agencies or third parties who are otherwise involved in crime
prevention, in order to process the acceptability of your tendered credit card
or other payment methods or to combat crime, and/or to credit card and other
payment processing agencies. Personal Data transmitted to those third parties
may need to be transferred to the United States of America or other places
outside the European Economic Area, for processing and related purposes. Some
agencies have advised that transmitted Personal Data will also be used to
generate credit, risk, or fraud possibility assessments for Sony and other third
parties with whom you may enter into transactions.

Sony may use, process, and disclose without restriction any anonymous or generic
data (including statistics) in which you cannot be identified.

You may request Sony to inform third parties to whom Personal Data has been
communicated of corrections or deletions to that Personal Data. If Sony does not
have control of that Personal Data, Sony will use its reasonable efforts to
communicate your corrections and deletion requests. However, where Personal Data
has been transferred to credit card payment and certain other agencies for
payment processing, you may need to contact such agencies directly if you wish
Personal Data transferred to those agencies to be rectified or deleted. Sony
cannot assume, and excludes all, responsibility for rectifying or deleting
Personal Data that has been transferred (with your consent) to certain agencies
such as credit or fraud probability assessment, and payment processing agencies,
who require and/or assume control of that data. Sony accepts no liability for
any incorrect credit or other assessments generated by such third parties, or
any other consequences (including adverse credit ratings) of Personal Data
disclosed and used as contemplated in the “Personal Data” (or similarly
entitled) part of the registration/data input form or telephone registration
process for this site, and these Terms. By accessing this site, User accepts and
agrees that Sony, Sony Affiliates or its service providers may send cookies
(small pieces of data placed on your hard disk drive when you access a website
or a certain part of a website) to your computer or other access device in order
to personalize your visit to this site and/or to learn more about your use or
browsing habits while visiting this site. The cookie may contain personal
information about you and may be a persistent or single session cookie.

employees, and service providers and hold them harmless in respect of all
losses, costs, proceedings, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal costs
and expenses), or liabilities howsoever incurred by any of them as a result of
any claim by a third party resulting from a breach or non-observance by User of
any prohibition, or restriction on User’s activities in relation to this site
contained in these Terms, or of any undertaking, representation, or Warranty of
