334

uuGeneral Information on the Audio SystemuHonda App License Agreement

5. Unauthorized Use and Abuse. You are responsible for ensuring your (and any authorized third parties’) use of the SOFTWARE and

SERVICES remains in compliance with this AGREEMENT and all other applicable HONDA TERMS and PROVIDER TERMS. You acknowledge

and agree that any use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES occurring through your VEHICLE will be deemed your actions and that HONDA and

PROVIDERS may rely upon such actions. You agree to immediately notify us if you suspect fraudulent or abusive activity involving the

SOFTWARE or SERVICES. If you so notify us or if we otherwise suspect fraudulent or abusive activity, you agree to cooperate with us in any

fraud investigation and to use any fraud prevention measures we prescribe. Your failure to immediately notify us or cooperate to use such

measures will result in your liability for all fraudulent usage or abusive activity associated with your VEHICLE.

6. SOFTWARE Updates. The SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be updated when your VEHICLE is serviced by a DEALER or remotely, over-the-

air, by HONDA from time to time; such updates may occur with or without further notice or your future consent. The SOFTWARE may be

updated at HONDA’s discretion and for any purpose including, without limitation, to patch or otherwise improve the SOFTWARE or

SERVICES functionality, security, or stability. All updates to the SOFTWARE and SERVICES are subject to this AGREEMENT and any other

applicable HONDA TERMS and PROVIDER TERMS.

7. Uninstalling, Removing, and Replacing the SOFTWARE. Replacing SOFTWARE or HONDA SERVICES with software or firmware not

VEHICLE functionality reliant upon the SOFTWARE or HONDA SERVICES null and void.

D. SOFTWARE Operational Notices and Warnings

1. Vehicle Geolocation Information. You acknowledge that your VEHICLE may be equipped with certain traffic and map features. The

traffic feature will automatically collect and transmit, through GPS technology, your Vehicle’s current location (longitude and latitude),

travel direction and speed (“VEHICLE GEOLOCATION INFORMATION”) to HONDA and PROVIDERS. The VEHICLE GEOLOCATION

INFORMATION is used by HONDA and PROVIDERS to provide traffic and navigation-related information to you, but may also be used to

provide other SERVICES or offers to you. HONDA will not use such VEHICLE GEOLOCATION INFORMATION for its own marketing efforts,

or provide such information to unaffiliated third parties for their own purposes, without your express consent.

Continued

335

uuGeneral Information on the Audio SystemuHonda App License Agreement

2. Potential Map Inaccuracy and Route Safety. Maps used by this system may be inaccurate because of changes in roads, traffic controls,

routing, or driving conditions. Always use good judgment and common sense when following suggested routes. Do not follow the route

suggestions if doing so would result in an unsafe or illegal driving maneuver, if you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would

be directed into an area that you consider unsafe. Do not rely on any navigation features included in the system to route you to emergency

services. Not all emergency services such as police, fire stations, hospitals, or clinics are likely to be contained in the map database for such

navigation features. Ask local authorities or an emergency services operator for such locations and routes. The driver is ultimately

responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore, must evaluate whether it is safe to follow the suggested directions. Any

navigation features are provided only as an aid. Make your driving decisions based on your observations of local conditions and existing

traffic regulations. Navigation features are not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by the SOFTWARE or

SERVICES should never replace any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe driving practices.

3. Speech Recognition: You acknowledge and understand that HONDA and PROVIDERS may record, retain, and use voices commands

when you use the speech recognition components of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. You and all VEHICLE operators and passengers (a)

consent to the recording and retention of voice commands in support of providing speech recognition components and (b) release HONDA

and PROVIDERS from all claims, liabilities, and losses that may result from any use of such recorded voice commands. Recognition errors

are inherent in speech recognition. It is your responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and address

any errors. Neither HONDA nor PROVIDERS will be liable for any damages arising out of errors in the speech recognition process.

4. Distraction Hazards. Navigation features may require manual (non-verbal) input or setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or insert

data while driving can seriously distract your attention and could cause a crash or other serious consequences; the ability to undertake such

interactions may also be limited by state or local law, which laws you are responsible to know and follow. Even occasional short scans of

the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving at a critical time. Pull over and stop the vehicle in

a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Do not raise the volume

excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable

to hear these sounds could result in a crash.

uuGeneral Information on the Audio SystemuHonda App License Agreement

E. Information Collection and Storage

1. Information Collection, Use, Transmission and Storage of Data. Consent to Use of Data: You agree that HONDA and PROVIDERS may

collect and use your information gathered in any manner as part of product support services related to the SOFTWARE or related services.

HONDA may share such information with third parties, including, without limitation, PROVIDERS, third party software and services

suppliers, their affiliates and/or their designated agents, solely to improve their products or to provide services or technologies to you.

HONDA, third party software and systems suppliers, their affiliates and/or their designated agent may disclose this information to others,

but not in a form that personally identifies you.

2. Information Storage. Depending on the type of multimedia system you have in your VEHICLE, certain information may be stored for ease

of use of the SOFTWARE including, without limitation, search history, location history in certain applications, previous and saved

destinations, map locations within certain applications, and device numbers and contact information.

(a) Vehicle Health Information. Your VEHICLE may remotely transmit information regarding the status and health of your VEHICLE

(“VEHICLE INFORMATION”) to HONDA without notification to you. VEHICLE INFORMATION may contain VEHICLE maintenance and

malfunction status that is derived from VEHICLE diagnostic data and includes, but is not limited to, status of powered doors and windows,

battery life data, battery charging data, VEHICLE speed, coolant temperature, air compressor revolution, output power, warning codes,

diagnostic trouble codes, fuel injection volume, and engine rotations per minute. VEHICLE HEALTH INFORMATION may be used by HONDA

for research and development, to deliver HONDA SERVICES and information to you, and to contact you, and is retained only for a period

of time necessary to fulfill these goals.

(b) VEHICLE Geolocation Data (non-navigation/map based). If you opt-in to geolocation-based SERVICES, your vehicle’s geolocation data

(latitude and longitude) will be automatically sent from your VEHICLE to HONDA and PROVIDERS.

(c) You understand that the inputting or uploading of information to your VEHICLE’s multimedia system or the SOFTWARE or SERVICES is

at your own risk and that HONDA is not responsible for unauthorized access to or use of any personal or other information. All information

uploaded to the SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be stored on your VEHICLES’s multimedia system and you understand that the security and

safety of your VEHICLE’s multimedia system is your sole responsibility.

F. NO WARRANTY. You understand and agree that your use of the SOFTWARE and SERVICES are solely at your own risk and that you

will be solely responsible for any damage to your VEHICLE’s multimedia system or any other equipment or any loss of data that may result

from your use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS

WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES

OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. HONDA makes no warranties that the

SOFTWARE or SERVICES will meet your requirements, or that the SOFTWARE or SERVICES will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, non-

infringing or error free. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any and all charges, costs or expenses associated with your

use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. Advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the SOFTWARE

or SERVICES are provided for informational purposes only and will not create any warranty not expressly made herein. You should not rely

on any such information or advice. We assume no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. We

do not make any warranty or representation that your use of the material displayed on, or obtained through, the SOFTWARE or SERVICES

is non-infringing of any rights of any third party. Any decision or action taken by you on the basis of information or content provided via

the application is at your sole discretion and risk. HONDA and PROVIDERS are not responsible or liable for any such decision, or for the

accuracy, completeness, usefulness, or availability of any content or information displayed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via

the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. To the extent jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, some of the above exclusions may

not apply to you.

G. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. You and HONDA are each waiving important rights.

1. Limitations on YOUR liability. HONDA cannot recover from you any consequential, indirect, incidental, or special damages, or attorney’s

fees in connection with your use of the SOFTWARE or HONDA SERVICES. HONDA WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW

ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN DIRECT, COMPENSATORY DAMAGES AS LIMITED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

338

uuGeneral Information on the Audio SystemuHonda App License Agreement

2. Limitation on HONDA and PROVIDER liability. Neither HONDA nor PROVIDERS will be liable to you or any other party for consequential,

indirect, incidental, special, or punitive damages (including without limitation lost profits) in connection with your use of the SOFTWARE

or SERVICES, even if HONDA or PROVIDERS are aware of the possibility of such damages. These limitations apply to all claims, including,

without limitation, claims in contract and tort (such as negligence, product liability and strict liability). To the extent that a jurisdiction does

not permit the exclusion or limitation of liability as set forth herein our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law in such

states. If HONDA or PROVIDERS are found liable to you for any reason, you agree that the aggregate liability of all these parties to you for

any claim is limited to ten U.S. dollars (US $10.00). Neither HONDA nor any PROVIDER would have agreed to provide the SOFTWARE or

SERVICES to you if you did not agree to this limitation. This amount is the sole and exclusive liability of HONDA and PROVIDERS to you,

and is payable as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Except where prohibited by law, you may not bring any claim against HONDA

or any third-party beneficiary more than two (2) years after the claim arises. We do not have any liability for SOFTWARE or SERVICES

interruptions of any length.

(a) Release of HONDA and PROVIDERS For yourself and anyone else claiming under you, you agree to release and discharge HONDA,

PROVIDERS, their respective officers, directors, and employees, and each third-party beneficiary from all claims, liabilities and losses in

connection with the SOFTWARE or SERVICES, including, but not limited to claims for personal injury or property damage arising from the

total or partial failure of performance of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES, even if caused by or based upon the negligence, gross negligence,

strict products liability, Deceptive Trade Practices Act violations, bad faith, or breach of warranty of us or the malfunction of the SOFTWARE

or SOFTWARE SERVICES. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN

DIRECT, COMPENSATORY DAMAGES AS LIMITED IN THIS AGREEMENT. YOU HEREBY RELEASE AND DISCHARGE HONDA AND ITS

LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS (INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTIES PROVIDING ALL OR PART OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES) FROM AND

AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, EXPENSES AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY INJURIES, DAMAGES, OR LOSSES TO

ANY PERSON (INCLUDING DEATH) OR PROPERTY OF ANY KIND RESULTING IN WHOLE OR PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM YOUR

USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES.

H. Survival. You agree that the limitations of liability and indemnities in this AGREEMENT will survive even after the AGREEMENT has

ended. These limitations of liability apply not only to you, but to anyone using the SOFTWARE or SERVICES via your VEHICLE, to anyone

making a claim on your behalf, and to any claims made by your family, employees, customers, or others arising out of or relating to your

VEHICLE, the SOFTWARE, or SERVICES.

I. Availability/Interruption. The SOFTWARE and certain SERVICES are made available through your VEHICLE’s compatible multimedia

system when the VEHICLE is turned on. Certain SERVICES may be available only through your compatible mobile device when it is within

the operating range of the VEHICLE and a wireless carrier. The availability of the SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be subject to transmission

limitation or interruption, including but not limited to technical obsolesce or sunsetting of the hardware, software or firmware, inside of

or external to the Vehicle, required for data transmission or receipt. HONDA does not guarantee that the SOFTWARE, SERVICES, or any

portion thereof will be available at all times or in all areas. You acknowledge and agree that HONDA is not responsible for performance

degradation, interruption or delays. You acknowledge that HONDA shall not be liable to you if the SOFTWARE or SERVICES in a given

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver^*

1HomeLink ® Universal Transceive r^*

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be programmed to operate up to three

remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or

home security systems.

Before programming HomeLink to operate a garage

door opener, confirm that the opener has an external

entrapment protection system, such as an “electronic

eye,” or other safety and reverse stop features. If it

does not, HomeLink may not be able to operate it.

Important Safety Precautions

■

Refer to the safety information that came with your garage door opener to test that

the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have the safety

information, contact the manufacturer.

NOTE:

Some LED lightbulbs installed in the garage door

opener can interfere with the training and consistent

operation of your HomeLink device. Please consider

use of Low RF interference bulbs in your garage door

opener.

Before programming HomeLink, make sure that people and objects are out of the

way of the garage or gate to prevent potential injury or damage.

When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage door’s path.
