limitation of the foregoing, shall not under any circumstances 
proceed as part of a class action.    The arbitration shall be 
conducted before a single arbitrator, whose award may not 
exceed, in form or amount, the relief allowed by the applicable 
law.  The arbitration shall be conducted according to the 
American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration 
Rules applicable to consumer disputes.  This arbitration provision 
is entered pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.  The laws of 
the State of Texas, without reference to its choice of laws 
principles, shall govern the interpretation of the Limited Warranty 
and all disputes that are subject to this arbitration provision.  The 
arbitrator shall decide all issues of interpretation and application 
of this arbitration provision and the Limited Warranty.  
For any arbitration in which your total damage claims, exclusive 
of attorney fees and expert witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less 
(Small Claim), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your 
reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs as part

was brought in bad faith.  In a Small Claim case, you shall be 
required to pay no more than half of the total administrative, 
facility and arbitrator fees, or $50.00 of such fees, whichever is 
less, and SAMSUNG shall pay the remainder of such fees.  
Administrative, facility and arbitrator fees for arbitrations in 
which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees and 
expert witness fees, exceed $5,000.00 (Large Claim) shall be 
determined according to AAA rules.  In a Large Claim case, the 
arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion among 
the parties, reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and 
costs.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators award in any 
court of competent jurisdiction.  
This arbitration provision also applies to claims against 
SAMSUNGS employees, representatives and affiliates if any 
such claim arises from the Products sale, condition or 
performance.
