Service Policy

You understand and acknowledge that any time SIE services your PS3 system (either within the Warranty Period or under a separate service arrangement), it may become necessary for SIE to provide certain services to your PS3 system to ensure it is functioning properly in accordance with SIE guidelines. Such services may include the installation of the latest software or firmware updates, or service or replacement of the PS3 hard disk or the PS3 system with a new or refurbished 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 or alteration of data, although some content cannot be backed up and must be reinstalled by the user. You should also remove any peripherals, non-PS3 system components, and any content that you consider proprietary, private, or confidential before you send in your PS3 system for service. SIE shall not be liable for damages resulting from your failure to comply with the foregoing, or any instructions provided to you by SIE.

After SIE services the Product and returns it to you or returns a factory-recertified product to you under this warranty, this warranty applies to the returned product for the longer of (i) 90 days from the date that SIE ships the Product or the factory-recertified product or (ii) the original Warranty Period.  SIE 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.
