Network Security Recommendations

To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network

environment using appropriate security measures.

Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and

fax lines, and other intrusions:

•Enable security on your wireless LAN

Enable the appropriate security on the wireless LAN you plan to use with your product. Network

security such as a network password can deter interception of traffic over the wireless LAN. Your

router may already have a default password enabled by your Internet service provider (ISP). See your

ISP and router documentation for instructions on how to change the default password and better

secure your network.

•Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall

Connecting your product directly to the Internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead,

connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already

have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best

results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.

•Change the default administrator password on your product

If your product has an option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator

password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs,

passwords, and contact lists.

Parent topic: Wi-Fi or Wired Networking

Wi-Fi Infrastructure Mode Setup

You can set up your product to communicate with your computer using a wireless router or access point.

The wireless router or access point can be connected to your computer over a wireless or wired network.

The Wi-Fi environment needs to be

improved. Turn the wireless router off and

then turn it on. If the connection does not

improve, see the documentation for the

wireless router.

Move your product closer to your router or access point,

and remove any obstacles between them. Then turn off

your router or access point, wait about 10 seconds, and

turn it back on again. If you still cannot connect to your

product, check the documentation that came with your

router or access point for solutions.

Scan Resolution Guidelines

The Resolution setting, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your

scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes with the following

disadvantages:

• Larger file sizes

• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans

• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper

If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the

resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan 2. Follow these guidelines to determine the

resolution setting you need:

• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.

Increase the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same

amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is

300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600

dpi.

• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.

Select the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:

• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi

• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Connecting a Telephone or Answering Machine

You must connect your product to a telephone wall jack to send or receive faxes. If you want to use the

same telephone line to receive calls, you can connect a telephone or answering machine to your product

using an additional phone cable.

Note: If you do not connect a telephone to your product, make sure Receive Mode is set to Auto.

Otherwise, you cannot receive faxes.

173

1. Connect a phone cable to your telephone wall jack and to the LINE port on your product.

Note: If you have a DSL or ISDN connection, you must connect the appropriate DSL filter, or ISDN

terminal adapter or router to the wall jack to be able to use the line for faxing or voice calls using your

product. Contact your DSL or ISDN provider for the necessary equipment.

174

2. If you are connecting a telephone or answering machine to your product using a second phone

cable, remove the cap from the EXT port on your product.

175

3. Connect a second phone cable to your telephone or answering machine and to the EXT port on your

product.

Note: If you connect an answering machine and Receive Mode is set to Auto, set the number of

rings before your product answers a call to a number that is higher than your answering machine's

setting for the number of rings.

Any phone or answering machine must be connected to the EXT port for your product to detect an

incoming fax call when the phone is picked up. Epson cannot guarantee compatibility with VoIP,

cable phone systems, or fiberoptic digital services such as FIOS.

Refilling Ink and Replacing the Maintenance Box

When the ink level is below the lowest line on the ink tank, you need to refill it. Periodically check the ink

tank to see if it needs to be refilled.

Before checking the ink level or refilling an ink tank as described here, be sure to read the ink safety

precautions.

Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank.

Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on a tank could damage the

product.

Ink Safety Precautions

Checking the Ink and Maintenance Box Levels

Purchase Epson Ink and Maintenance Box

Refilling the Ink Tank

Maintenance Box Replacement

Ink Safety Precautions

Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling

the ink tank correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink level in the tank; instead it estimates

the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may generate

inaccurate messages if the ink tank is not refilled according to these instructions.

As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tank to ensure the ink level does not fall

below the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank

could damage the product.

Ink Handling Precautions

Observe the following when handling the ink:

• Keep ink bottles and the ink tank out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or

handle the ink bottles and bottle caps.

• Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after removing its seal; otherwise, ink may leak.

• Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tank, ink tank cap, and opened ink bottles or

ink bottle caps.

224

• If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them

immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately. Seek medical advice if

problems persist.

Ink Refilling Precautions

• Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.

• Epson's warranties do not extend to any damage caused by the use of third-party ink or ink not

designed for your printer.

• This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tank is filled or refilled with

ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

• Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. Ink bottles are vacuum

packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print

quality may be affected.

• If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the product

when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank could damage the product.

• Epson recommends filling the ink tank to the upper line when the product is not operating.

• After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for

at least three hours before using it.

• Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.

• Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an ink

bottle after removing its seal, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature

changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to

keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking

when you transport the bottle.

• Use the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.

• Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottle.

Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information

• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from the ink tank during printing

and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head.

• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or

performance.

Message Appears Prompting You to Reset the Ink Level

If you see a message on the LCD screen prompting you to reset the ink level, do the following:

1. Refill the ink tank all the way to the upper line.

276

Note: Depending on the operating conditions, you may see the ink reset message even when there is

still ink in the tank.

2. Follow the instructions on the LCD screen to reset the ink level.

Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling

the ink tank correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink level in the tank; instead it estimates

the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may generate

inaccurate messages if the ink tank is not refilled according to these instructions.

As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tank to ensure the ink level does not fall

below the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank

could damage the product.

Product Cannot Connect to a Wireless Router or Access Point

If your product has trouble finding or connecting to a wireless router or access point, try these solutions:

• If you are connecting the product via Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and the Wi-Fi icon on your

product's LCD screen is not lit or does not appear, make sure you select one of the WPS options from

the product control panel within 2 minutes of pressing the WPS button on your router.

• Make sure to place your product within contact range of your 2.4 GHz router or access point. Avoid

placing your product near a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal object, such as a

filing cabinet.

281

Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and

5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band,

give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home

Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for

instructions.

• Verify that your router or access point is operating correctly by connecting to it from your computer or

another device.

• Print a network connection report and check the codes and messages on the report to help determine

the cause of the problem.

• You may need to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router or access

point.

• Try restarting your router following the instructions in your router documentation.

Note: If you are reading these instructions online, you will lose your Internet connection when you

restart your router.

• Check to see if access restrictions, such as MAC address filtering, are set on the router or access

point. If access restrictions are set, add your product's MAC address to your router's address list. To

obtain your product's MAC address, print a network status sheet. Then follow the instructions in your

router or access point documentation to add the address to the list.

• If your router or access point does not broadcast its network name (SSID), follow the instructions that

came with your product to enter your wireless network name manually.

• If your router or access point has security enabled, determine the kind of security it is using and any

required password or passphrase for connection. Then make sure to enter the exact WEP key or WPA

passphrase correctly.

• Check if your computer is restricting the available wireless channels. If so, verify that your wireless

access point is using one of the usable channels and change to a usable channel, if necessary.

• If you cannot connect your product to a device using Wi-Fi Direct, you may have exceeded the

maximum number of devices connected to your product (8). Print a network status sheet or access

Web Config on the browser for your device and check the number of connected devices. If 8 devices

are already connected, disconnect a device by deleting the product's SSID from the Wi-Fi screen of

that device. If fewer than 8 devices are connected, check the accuracy of your other network settings,

move your device closer to your product, and try connecting again.

• If you are using a Wi-Fi Direct connection that suddenly disconnects, the Wi-Fi direct password on

your device may have been changed. If necessary, delete the existing DIRECT-xxxxxxxx connection

settings from your device and enter a new password. See your device documentation for instructions.

1. Reset your product's network settings to their factory defaults.

2. Windows only: Uninstall your product software.

3. Restart your router following the instructions in your router documentation.

Note: If you are reading these instructions online, you will lose your Internet connection when you

restart your router, so note the next step before restarting it.

4. Download your product software from the Epson website using the instructions on the Start Here

sheet.

• If you have replaced your router, reinstall your product software to connect to the new router.

Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and

5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band,

283

give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home

Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for

Cannot Print Over a Network

If you cannot print over a network, try these solutions:

• Make sure that your product is turned on.

• Make sure you install your product's network software as described in your product documentation.

285

• Print a network status sheet and verify that the network settings are correct. If the network status is

Disconnected, check any cable connections and turn your product off and then on again.

• Print a network connection report and check the codes and messages on the report to help determine

the cause of the problem.

• If you are using TCP/IP, make sure the product's IP address is set correctly for your network. If your

network does not assign IP addresses using DHCP, set the IP address manually.

• Make sure your computer and product are both using the same wireless network.

• If network printing is slow, print a network status sheet and check the signal strength. If it is poor, place

your product closer to your router or access point. Avoid placing your product near a microwave oven,

2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal object, such as a filing cabinet.

Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and

5 GHz) mode. See your router documentation for instructions.

• Try restarting your router following the instructions in your router documentation.

Note: If you are reading these instructions online, you will lose your Internet connection when you

restart your router.

• Check if there are any paused print jobs.

• Make sure your printer is selected as the default printer.

• Check if the selected printer port is correct.

• Check to see if your wireless router or access point has an enabled Privacy Separator function that is

preventing printing from a device over the network. See your router or access point documentation for

instructions on disabling the Privacy Separator function.

• If you are connecting the product via Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and the Wi-Fi icon does not appear

on your product's LCD screen, make sure you select one of the WPS options from the product control

panel within 2 minutes of pressing the WPS button on your router.

• Check your wired LAN router or access point to see if the LED for the port to which your product is

connected is on or flashing. If the link LED is off, try the following:

• Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to your product and to your router, access

point, switch, or hub.

• Try connecting your product to a different port or a different router, access point, switch, or hub.

• Try connecting with a different Ethernet cable.

286

• Try printing to your product from another computer on the network.

Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and

5 GHz) mode. See your router documentation for instructions.

• If you are connecting the product via EpsonNet Setup and the Wi-Fi icon does not appear on the LCD

screen, make sure your product software was installed correctly. If necessary, reinstall your software.

• Align the print head.

• Adjust the print quality in the product software.

• You may need to increase the image resolution or print a smaller size; see your software

documentation.

Note: Images from the Internet may be low resolution and not result in a high quality printout.

• If you enlarged the image size in an image-editing program, you need to increase the image resolution

setting to retain a high image quality. Increase the image resolution by the same amount you increase

the image size. For example, if the image resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the

image size for printing, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.

Note: Higher resolution settings result in larger file sizes, which take longer to process and print.

Consider the limitations of your computer system when selecting a resolution, and select the lowest

possible resolution that produces acceptable quality to keep file sizes manageable.

Scanning is Slow

If scanning becomes slow, try these solutions:

• Scan your original at a lower resolution, if possible.

• Make sure your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If you are scanning a high-

resolution image, you may need more than the minimum requirements. If necessary, increase your

system's memory or reduce the resolution.

• If scanning becomes slower after scanning continuously with the ADF for a long time, the scanner may

have automatically slowed down to protect the scanner mechanism from overheating or becoming

damaged. Let the scanner rest with the power on for 30 minutes, then try scanning again.

Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors

Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and

monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use

CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).

Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the

software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.

To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try

scanning again:

• If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, adjust the Contrast setting.

• If the Image Type setting is Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.

information, or is not registered in your contacts list, as necessary.

• If you cannot send faxes at a specified time, make sure the date and time are set correctly on the

product.

• If you have not connected a telephone to the printer, set the Receive Mode setting to Auto on the

control panel.

320

• If you are receiving faxes using the FAX Utility, check that your product is registered as a fax product

in your operating system:

Windows: Make sure the product appears in Devices and Printers,Printer, or Printers and Other

Hardware. If the product does not appear, uninstall and re-install the FAX Utility.

Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver

1. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND

CLASS ARBITRATIONS

1.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 1 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, Epson

branded products (hardware and including any related software), 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,

also agree, notwithstanding Section 1.6,that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of

action is for an IP Claim.

1.2 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 1.6 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 1, (b) this Agreement

memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 1 shall survive termination of this

Agreement.

1.3 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.

344

1.4 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.

1.5 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.

1.6 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 1.1

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:

345

(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 1.6d).

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

1.6d) 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.

1.7 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 1. 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.

1.8 Amendments to Section 1. 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

346

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 1 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 1.7, if you

timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement).

1.9 Severability. If any provision in this Section 1 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 1.5. This

means that if Section 1.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 1 (but only Section 1)

shall be null and void.
