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

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
