PlayStation disclaims most warranties and limits how much money you can recover from them if something goes wrong with their services.
PlayStation's warranty disclaimer and liability cap means that even if their service causes significant harm (such as loss of a digital game library), your financial recovery may be limited to a nominal amount such as the amount you paid in the past 12 months.
