Sony PlayStation 3 Sécurité Et Support Technique page 15

This warranty does not apply to any system software that is pre-installed in the
PS3™ hardware, or is subsequently provided via update or upgrade releases.
Such system software is licensed to you under the terms and conditions of a
separate end user license agreement at http://www.scei.co.jp/ps3-eula/ and such
software is provided pursuant to its own warranty.
Service policy
You understand and acknowledge that any time SCEA services your PS3™ system
US
(either within the Warranty Period or under a separate service arrangement), it may
become necessary for SCEA to provide certain services to your PS3™ system to
ensure it is functioning properly in accordance with SCEA guidelines. Such services
may include the installation of the latest software or firmware updates, or service or
replacement of the PS3™ system's hard disk or the PS3™ system with a new or
factory recertified 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. SCEA shall not be liable for damages resulting from your failure to
comply with the foregoing, or any instructions provided to you by SCEA. SCEA
reserves the right to refuse service or void the warranty of any PS3™ system that has
been modified or tampered with.
Except as otherwise stated in the Limited Hardware Warranty and Liability
above, you agree that (i) the services are provided "AS IS" without any express
or implied warranties; and (ii) SCEA 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.
