1. SONY ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

Through PSN, you can participate in SCEA's online community, play games online, and purchase content and services, such as new levels for your favorite games, movies, television shows or original programs such as Oore™. PSN may not be available, or may not be supported, in some countries and some languages. You must create a Sony Entertainment Network account in order to access PSN's content and services. SCEA reserves the right to deny the creation of any account at its discretion and for any reason. Currently, there are no charges for creating a Sony Entertainment Network account, but there may be charges associated with certain online content or services that are available through PSN. All information provided during Sony Entertainment Network account registration must be truthful and accurate. There are two types of Sony Entertainment Network accounts: Master Accounts and Sub Accounts. All Sony Entertainment Network accounts have an associated PSN mailbox for receiving text mail.

If you are 18 years or older, you can create a Master Account for yourself. Each Master Account can create up to six (6) associated Sub Accounts. You are not permitted to create Sub Accounts for persons under the age of 18 who are not your children or for whom you are not the legal guardian.

A Master Account has access to and control over the following aspects of its Sub Accounts: (i) financial aspects; (ii) content availability and (iii) certain chat features. Text mail from SCEA that relates to a Sub Account's purchases on PSN will be sent to the mailbox of the associated Master Account. At its sole discretion, SCEA may send text mail to the Master Account relating to the Sub Account's other activities on PSN.

A child under 18 can only have a Sub Account associated with a Master Account of the child's parent or legal guardian. If you are creating a Sub Account for a child under the age of 13, you must provide (i) your consent for SCEA to disclose, pursuant to SCEA's privacy policy, your child's personally identifying information to third parties for the purpose of allowing your child to participate in PSN activities, such as video and voice chat and gameplay; and (ii) your credit card information. Your credit card will be used to verify parental consent under laws requiring such consent. You will not be charged a fee for creating the Sub Account. If you do not consent to the disclosure of this requested information, you will not be able to create a Sub Account for the child. If all requested information is provided, a separate email containing a code will be sent to the Master Account's email account with instructions to complete registration by entering the code into the Sub Account using a personal computer. You will need to create for your child an Online ID that will be associated with the child's PSN Sub Account. Please note that the Online ID is publicly available to and viewable by all PSN users and your child may receive text emails from any PSN users, including adults, in your child's Sony Entertainment Network account mailbox. The parent's Master Account will not be notified of such text emails sent to a child's Sub Account mailbox. As the parent or legal guardian, it is your sole responsibility to monitor your child's access to or use of PSN, as well as any communications made or received by your child on or through PSN.
Some content and services may be objectionable or inappropriate to some users, including children under a certain age. Please consider your child's age and check any product, content or service ratings and descriptions, where available, before you access, download or purchase any items or permit your child to do so. In some cases, third parties provide ratings or descriptions for items, and SCEA therefore cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. In addition, not all content and services are rated.

Some content that you download to your PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system or PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system may be accessible by all users of that system. Please monitor all access to content, services, and communications that may be objectionable or age inappropriate. PSN parental controls will not apply to certain types of services or content such as content that is considered streamed material, user communication or certain categories of downloadable content. PSN parental controls may also not apply to some content that is not rated. Your child may not be able to access some content or services or play games rated for users older than his or her registered age. In some countries, parents and legal guardians with Master Accounts will be permitted to set their parental controls to override content restrictions on certain materials for associated Sub Accounts. Please see the Knowledge Base located at the following website for more information: http://playstation.custhelp.com/.

A Master Account can also create Sub Accounts for people over the age of 18. Credit card information is not required to create a Sub Account for someone over 18. Adult Sub Account holders must accept this Terms of Service and User Agreement and the applicable Privacy Policy themselves. The Master Account holder is jointly and severally legally and financially responsible for the actions of his or her Sub Account holders on PSN, regardless of their age.
Both Master Account and Sub Account holders select their own Online ID, Sign-In ID and password to gain access to their accounts. All users should safeguard their account information to prevent use by any other user. Certain information, which may include the Online ID, "About Me" statement, avatar pictures, country/area of residence, preferred language and recently played game titles, will be provided to all PSN users, including children. SCEA shall have no liability for any unauthorized usage of a Sony Entertainment Network account. Deletion or termination of a Master Account will result in the deletion and termination of all associated Sub Accounts.

2. PSN COMMUNITY
