Certain third party software may be covered by open source software licenses ("Open Source Components"), which means any software licenses approved as open source licenses by the Open Source Initiative or any substantially similar licenses, including but not limited to 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. If and to the extent disclosure is required, please visit (http://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/common/search.html) or other Sony-designated web site for a list of applicable Open Source Components included in the Product from time to time, and the applicable terms and conditions governing its use.

If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, do not install or use the Product, instead you may return it, within 30 days after delivery of the Product, along with all associated material to your place of purchase for a full refund, less any shipping and handling costs.

The Product is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.
