-DISPUTES. AN “OPT-OUT” IS AVAILABLE UNDER SECTION 22.7 FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO BE
-EXCLUDED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS WAIVER.
-
-This is a legal agreement (“Agreement”) between you (an individual or entity,
-referred to hereinafter as “you”) and Seiko Epson Corporation (including its
-affiliates, “Epson”) for the enclosed software programs, including any related
-documentation, firmware, or updates (collectively referred to hereinafter as the

-version, or additions to or for the Software from Epson, the upgrade, updated
-version, modified version, or addition, shall be included in the defined term
-Software and governed by this Agreement. You acknowledge that Epson has no
-obligation to provide you with any Updates (as defined below in this Section 2)
-to the Software. Epson may, however, from time to time, issue updated versions
-of the Software and the Software may automatically connect to Epson or
-third-party servers via the Internet to check for available updates to the
-Software, such as bug fixes, patches, upgrades, additional or enhanced
-functions, plug-ins and new versions (collectively, “Updates”) and may either
-(a) automatically electronically update the version of the Software that you are

-agree and consent to automatically request and receive Updates from Epson or
-third-party servers, and that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
-apply to all of these Updates.

-the Software and further agree not to attempt to reverse engineer, decompile,
-disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software.
-You may not rent, lease, distribute, lend the Software to third parties or
-incorporate the Software into a revenue generating product or service. You may,
-however, transfer all of your rights to use the Software to another person or
-legal entity, provided that the recipient also agrees to the terms of this
-Agreement and you transfer the Software, including all copies, updates and prior
-versions, and the Epson Hardware, to such person or entity. The Software is
-licensed as a single unit, and its component programs may not be separated for
-some other use. Further, you agree not to place the Software onto or into a
-shared environment accessible via a public network such as the Internet or
-otherwise accessible by others outside the single location referred to in
-Section 1 above.
-
-4. Ownership. Title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in and
-to the Software shall remain with Epson or its licensors and suppliers. The
-Software is protected by United States Copyright Law, copyright laws of Japan
-and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property
-laws and treaties. There is no transfer to you of any title to or ownership of
-the Software and this License shall not be construed as a sale of any rights in
-the Software. You agree not to remove or alter any copyright, trademark,
-registered mark and other proprietary notices on any copies of the Software.
-Epson and/or its licensors and suppliers reserve all rights not granted. The
-Software may also contain images, illustrations, designs and photos

-adjusted and copied only in the manner designated by the Software, and (3) you
-may use the Materials only for lawful personal use, home use or as otherwise
-legally permitted.
-
-5. Open Source and Other Third-Party Components. Notwithstanding the foregoing
-license grant, you acknowledge that certain components of the Software may be
-covered by third-party licenses, including so-called “open source” software
-licenses, which means any software licenses approved as open 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 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. 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. Epson’s sole and exclusive liability and
-your exclusive remedy for breach of warranty shall be limited to either, at
-Epson’s option, the replacement of the media for the Software or to refund your
-money upon returning the Software and Epson Hardware. Any replacement Software
-will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty
-(30) days, whichever is longer. If the above remedy fails for any reason,
-Epson’s entire liability for a breach of warranty shall be limited to a refund
-of the price paid for the Epson Hardware. 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. 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.
-
-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 that the Software qualifies as
-“commercial” computer software within the meaning of FAR Part 12, paragraph (b)
-of FAR Subpart 27.405, or DFARS Subpart 227.7202, as applicable, and that no
-other regulation, or FAR or DFARS data rights clause, applies to the delivery of
-this Software to the Government. Accordingly, 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 FAR and DFARS provisions 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. 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. This Agreement may only be modified in writing signed by an
-authorized representative of Epson.
-
-14. Indemnification. 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. 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. You represent that you are of the legal
-age of majority in your state or jurisdiction of residence and have all
-necessary authority to enter into this Agreement, including, if applicable, due
-authorization by your employer to enter into this Agreement.
-
-17. Privacy, Information Processing. The Software may have the ability to
-connect over the Internet to transmit data to and from your Device. For
-example, if you install the Software, the Software may cause your Device to send
-information about your 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 Device for display. Any processing of information
-provided through the 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.
-
-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. If
-there is a conflict between this Agreement and terms and conditions of third
-party 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 information, products or software found on such websites/services
-and therefore cannot make any representations whatsoever with respect thereto.
-You agree that Epson is not responsible for the content or operation of such
-websites/services, and it is up to you to take precautions to ensure that
-whatever you select is free of items such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses and
-other items of a destructive nature. You are solely responsible for determining
-the extent to which you may use any content at any other websites/services to
-which you link from this Software.
-
-(IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES, THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS 19 - 23 APPLY
-TO YOU)
-
-19. Ink Purchases. For certain Epson printer products sold in North America,
-the Software may also display an option to buy ink from Epson. If you click on
-the buy button, the Software will cause your Device to display Epson Hardware
-cartridge types and ink levels and provide other information about your
-cartridges, such as the colors, available cartridge sizes, and prices for
-replacement ink cartridges, which you may purchase online from Epson.
-
-20. Downloadable Updates. You may also be able to download from an Epson
-Internet site updates or upgrades to the Software if such updates or upgrades
-are made available. If you agree to install the Software, any transmissions to
-or from the Internet, and data collection and use, will be in accordance with
-Epson’s then-current Privacy Policy, and by installing the Software you agree
-that such then-current Privacy Policy shall govern such activities.
-
-21. Epson Accounts and Promotional Messages. In addition, if you install the
-Software and register your Epson Hardware with Epson, and/or you create an
-account at the Epson Store, and provided your consent to such use, you agree
-that Epson may merge the data collected in connection with installation of the
-Software, registration of your Epson Hardware and/or creation of your Epson
-Store account, consisting of personal information and non-personally
-identifiable information, and use such merged data to send you Epson promotional
-or service information. If you do not wish to send information about your Epson
-Hardware or receive promotional or service information, you will be able to
-disable these features on a Windows system through the Monitoring Preferences
-section in the driver. On a Mac operating system, you can disable these
-features by uninstalling the Epson Customer Research Participation and Low Ink
-Reminder software.
-
-22. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND
-CLASS ARBITRATIONS
-
-22.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 22 shall apply to all Disputes
-between you and Epson. The term “Dispute” is meant to have the broadest meaning
-permissible under law and includes any dispute, claim, controversy or action
-between you and Epson arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
-Software, Epson Hardware, or other transaction involving you and Epson, whether
-in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort,
-statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis.
-“DISPUTE” DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more specifically, 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”). You and Epson also agree, notwithstanding Section 22.6, that a court,
-not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of action is for an IP Claim.
-
-22.2 Binding Arbitration. 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
-GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED. Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration
-shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized arbitration authority,
-pursuant to its code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes,
-but excluding any rules that permit joinder or class actions in arbitration (for
-more detail on procedure, see Section 22.6 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.
-
-22.3 Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for
-arbitration, 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.
-Notice to Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal
-Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way, Long Beach, CA 90806 (the “Epson Address”).
- The Dispute Notice 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
-Epson Address above. 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 (the “Dispute Notice”). Following receipt of the Dispute
-Notice, Epson and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before
-commencing arbitration.
-
-22.4 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an
-individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the
-action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
-
-22.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE
-THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL
-CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE
-PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR
-CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE
-ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A
-REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION
-PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR
-CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL
-AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.
-
-22.6 Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the
-arbitration shall be governed by the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the
-arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class or
-representative 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, and both parties
-shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the
-arbitrator. 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, a court
-may determine 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. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be
-available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator may award you the
-same damages as a court could, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief
-only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent
-necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. In some
-instances, the costs of arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation and the
-right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The
-arbitrator’s award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of
-competent jurisdiction.
-
-You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration
-hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in a location reasonably
-accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange County, California, at your
-option.
-
-a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to
-arbitrate a Dispute, 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. You can find a
-copy of a Demand for Arbitration at http://www.jamsadr.com (“Demand for
-Arbitration”).
-
-(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 (same
-address as the Dispute Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.
-
-b) Hearing Format. 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. The discovery
-or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed
-during the arbitration.
-
-c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for,
-all JAMS filings and arbitrator fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or
-Epson) pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.
-
-d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks $75,000 or
-less in damages exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs, if the arbitrator’s
-decision results in an award to you in an amount greater than Epson’s last
-written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you $1,000 or
-the amount of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay you twice the amount of
-your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse you for any
-expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably
-accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration.
-Except as agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall
-determine the amount of fees, costs, and expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant
-to this Section 22.6d).
-
-e) Attorney’s Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney’s fees and expenses for
-any arbitration commenced involving a Dispute under this Agreement. Your right
-to attorney’s fees and expenses under Section 22.6(d) above does not limit your
-rights to attorney’s fees and expenses under applicable law; notwithstanding the
-foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney’s fees
-and expenses.
-
-22.7 Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final,
-binding, individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative
-proceedings specified in this Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson
-Address within thirty (30) days of your assent to this Agreement (including
-without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the Software or other
-applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) 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 and
-representative proceedings specified in this Section 22. In the event that you
-opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall
-continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to
-litigation.
-
-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 22.7, 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 or representative 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 LAW, THEN ANY SUCH
-PROVISION SHALL NOT APPLY TO YOU BUT THE REST OF THE 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 DEEMED OR CONSTRUED
-TO, LIMIT ANY RIGHTS AVAILABLE TO YOU UNDER THE TRUTH-IN-CONSUMER CONTRACT,
-WARRANTY AND NOTICE ACT.
