SONY'S RIGHTS TO USER'S MATERIAL
If you send any communications or materials to
Sony by electronic mail or otherwise
("Materials"), including any selections,
comments, data, questions, suggestions, or the
like, all such Materials are, and will be treated as,
non-confidential and non-proprietary. Thus, to
the maximum extent as permitted under the
applicable law, you give up any claim that use of
such Materials violates any of your rights
including moral rights, privacy rights, proprietary
or other property rights, rights of publicity, rights
to credit for material or ideas, or any other right,
including the right to approve the way Sony uses
such Materials. Any Material may be adapted,
broadcast, changed, copied, disclosed, licensed,
performed, posted, published, sold, transmitted,
or used by Sony anywhere in the world, in any
medium, for the period in which the above-
mentioned rights given up by you exist and
without attribution or compensation to you.
Furthermore, you hereby assign all right, title, and
interest in, and Sony is free to use, without any
compensation to you, any ideas, know-how,
concepts, techniques, or other intellectual
property rights contained in the Materials,
whether or not patentable, for any purpose
whatsoever, including but not limited to
developing, manufacturing, having
manufactured, licensing, marketing, and selling
products using such Materials. However, you
agree and understand that Sony is not obligated to
use any such ideas, know-how, concepts, or
techniques or Materials, and you have no right to
compel such use.
TRANSMITTED MATERIAL
Internet transmissions are never completely
private or secure. You understand that any
message or information you send to Sony may be
read or intercepted by others, unless there is a
special notice that a particular message (for
example, credit card information) is encrypted
(sent in code). Sending a message to Sony does
not cause Sony to have any special responsibility
to you.
OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT AND RULES
FOR MINORS
Certain Content may not be suitable for minors or
other users. Such Content may or may not be
rated or identified as having explicit language, or
otherwise being for a mature audience.
Therefore, you acknowledge that you are using
the Services at your own risk and that Sony has no
liability to you for the Content, including any
Content that may be offensive. You are
responsible for supervising the use of the Sony
Product, the Sony Software, Excluded Software,
the Services, and the Content by any minor. If you
have no legal competence to execute any
agreement with any third party without consent of
your parent(s), a guardian or other individuals
who have a right to give the consent to you under
the applicable law, you should obtain consent
before you : (i) e-mail Sony via the Service; (ii)
send in any information; (iii) enter any contest or
game that requires information about you or
offers a prize; (iv) join any club or group; (v) post
any information on any bulletin board or enter
any chatroom; or (vi) buy anything online.
Some jurisdictions may not allow exclusions or
limitations of incidental or consequential
damages, exclusions or limitations of implied
warranties or conditions, or allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,

JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
