1.3 In addition to Section 1.2, if you are under the age of 18 (or under the applicable age of majority in your country or territory of residence), you may use the Services only if you have the consent of your parent or guardian, including consent to these Terms.

2. USE OF THE SERVICE

2.1 YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE USE OF OR ANY RELIANCE UPON ANY INFORMATION OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES IS SOLELY AND COMPLETELY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY.

2.2 When you use the Services, or any information or content available through the Services (including, but not limited to, [map data, traffic, and directions]; the “Contents”), you may find that actual conditions differ from the Contents.  You must acknowledge that the Contents are not intended to replace the information provided on the road, such as [travel directions, time based restrictions, lane restrictions, road blockades, traffic signs, traffic lights, police instructions], etc.  Accordingly, you must use the Services or the Contents in your independent and good judgment.  You are responsible at all times for your conduct and its consequences.

2.3 You must obey, follow and comply with all actual road conditions, traffic and all other laws and regulations, and police and other governmental instructions.  For instance, although the Services may provide [an interface that enables you to operate your device on which the Software has been installed, through your voice commands and simplified finger movements while driving a vehicle,] it is your sole responsibility to evaluate whether the use of the interface is safe and legal under the circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, when you operate your mobile device (smartphones, tablets, etc.), you shall use it after stopping at a safe place and shall not operate your mobile device while you are riding because insufficient attention to the road and traffic may cause an accident. We highly recommend that while you use the Services you always remain aware of the traffic situation around. The volume always remain at an optimum level and does affect or completely shuts you off from outside road connectivity.

2.4 The Contents may include information or contents provided by you or third parties (collectively, “Third Party Content”).  We are not responsible in any way for your use of Third Party Content and any resulting damages.  For instance, we are not responsible for any incorrect or dangerous map directions the Software may access from other applications on your device. You are solely responsible for procuring any Third Party Content and paying any cost and fees therefor.

2.5 To use the Services, you may need a vehicle equipped with devices (Bluetooth, etc.) for Honda RoadSync, a mobile device (smartphones, tablets, etc.), a mobile accessory (headsets, earphones, microphones, etc.), and data carrier coverage (collectively, “Other Services”). When you use Other Services, you must comply with the terms of the applicable Other Services.  You are solely responsible for procuring any Other Services and paying any cost and fees therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Services are partially spatially restricted to the reception and transmission range of the radio stations of data carrier coverage operated by their respective network operators, requiring the activation of mobile data. In addition, the Services may be affected by obstacles such as atmospheric conditions, terrain conditions, vehicle positions, and buildings. We will not provide, or pay any costs and fees related to, Other Services. Some Other Services may not be compatible with the Services at your own risk and responsibility. We shall not be liable for any damages or trouble in the use of Other Services.
