 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

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

provided and installed by HONDA or a DEALER will render all representations and warranties for the SOFTWARE, HONDA SERVICES, and 
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.

 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.

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.

 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

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,

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

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

submissions. Filing and arbitrator fees to be paid per the sponsor rules. You may contact the sponsor for a fee waiver. If no fee waivers, 
HONDA will pay filing and arbitrator fees up to $5,000, unless law requires more. Each party is responsible for other fees. Arbitrator 
may award costs or fees to prevailing party, if permitted by law. HONDA will not seek fees, unless the claims are frivolous.

Miscellaneous:

 You may not assign this AGREEMENT without HONDA’s prior written consent. This AGREEMENT and any additional 

HONDA TERMS and PROVIDER TERMS represents the entire agreement between you and US. HONDA may amend the terms of this 
AGREEMENT by providing you with notices of such updated terms. If you do not consent to be bound by the updated terms, your sole 
remedy will be to cease using the SOFTWARE and SERVICES. If any part of this AGREEMENT is found invalid, void, or unenforceable, the 
balance of the AGREEMENT will remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as 
explicitly provided otherwise, this AGREEMENT and any disputes arising out of or relating to it will be governed by the laws of the State of 
California, except that California laws concerning choice of law or conflicts shall not apply if they would cause the substantive law of 
another jurisdiction to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section M shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of 
the State of California, as applicable, as set forth therein. The failure to enforce any term of this AGREEMENT on one occasion shall not 
prevent enforcement on any other occasion or the enforcement of any other term. Headings and captions shall not be considered included 
for purposes of interpretation or application hereof, but are for convenience only.

Arbitrator shall be an attorney or current or retired judge familiar with automotive or consumer software. The arbitrator shall follow 
substantive law, statute of limitations and decide all issues relating to the interpretation, construction, enforceability and applicability of 
this provision. The arbitrator may order relief permitted by law. This provision is governed and enforceable by the FAA. An award shall 
include a written opinion and be final, subject to appeal by the FAA.
This provision survives termination of this Agreement or relationship, bankruptcy, assignment or transfer. If part of this provision is 
unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. If unenforceability allows arbitration as a class action, then this provision is entirely 
unenforceable. YOU may opt out within 30 days of your initial use of the Software by sending a signed, written notice to HONDA at 
Honda Financial Services, P.O. Box 165007, Irving, TX 75016. HONDA reserves the right to make changes to this provision after
