THESE TERMS CREATE A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND HONDA AND
INCLUDE A DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION PROVISION UNDER WHICH
CERTAIN CLAIMS MAY NOT BE BROUGHT IN COURT OR DECIDED BY A JURY. PLEASE
READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. By indicating acceptance of these Terms, or by downloading,
installing or using the Mobile App, or by otherwise using HondaLink or any of the Connected Vehicle
Services, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with Honda. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO
THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION PROVISION IN

1. Description of HondaLink.
a. General. HondaLink gives you access to interactive features and digital services that are
intended to enhance your user experience (“Connected Vehicle Services”). The Connected Vehicle
Services may be provided directly by Honda, by our service providers, or by an Independent Provider (as
defined below). Not all Connected Vehicle Services are available on all Vehicles and some Connected
Vehicle Services are subject to separate terms and conditions (“Connected Vehicle Service Terms”) in
addition to these Terms. For information about Connected Vehicle Services available for your Vehicle,
please visit: https://mygarage.honda.com/s/hondalink-marketing. If you wish to receive any of the
Connected Vehicle Services with separate Connected Vehicle Service Terms, at the time of enrollment or
registration, you will be provided with a copy of, and will be required to accept, the applicable Connected
Vehicle Service Terms.
b. Independent Providers. In some cases, you may use HondaLink to access Connected Vehicle
Services provided by independent third parties (each, an Independent Provider”). For the Connected
Vehicle Services provided by Independent Providers, Honda is acting solely as an intermediary between
you and the Independent Provider. Each Independent Provider may have its own separate terms of use and
privacy notice and you may be required to accept an Independent Provider’s additional terms of use in order
to access the applicable Connected Vehicle Services. Honda does not endorse, and hereby disclaims all
liability or responsibility to you or any other person for, any services provided by an Independent Provider.
c. Children. Honda does not knowingly collect personal information from persons less than 13
years of age without verifiable parental consent. If Honda learns that personal information of persons less
2
11350690.6
than 13 years of age has been collected without verifiable parental consent, Honda will take the appropriate
steps to delete such information. To make such a request, please contact Honda by mail at American Honda
Motor Co., Inc., ATTN: Honda Automobile Customer Service, 1919 Torrance Blvd., Mail Stop: CHI-5,
Torrance, CA 90501 or by phone at 1-800-999-1009.
d. Changes to HondaLink, Connected Vehicle Services and Terms. To the extent permitted by
law, Honda reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify HondaLink and the Connected Vehicle
Services at any time, without notice to you. Honda also from time to time may change these Terms
prospectively. If we do so, we will change the “last updated” date on these Terms and, where required by
applicable law, provide you with appropriate notice. You agree that your continued use of HondaLink or
any of the Connected Vehicle Services constitutes your agreement to the amended Terms. If you do not
agree to any amended Terms, DO NOT USE HONDALINK
OR ANY OF THE CONNECTED VEHICLE
SERVICES. You may not amend or modify these Terms except by way of an express writing signed by
Honda.
e. Term. These Terms become effective immediately when you are granted access to HondaLink
or any of the Connected Vehicle Services and shall remain in effect (and if amended, as amended) until
your use of HondaLink and all of the Connected Vehicle Services is terminated in accordance with Section
23 below. IF YOU SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER YOUR VEHICLE, IF YOUR VEHICLE
LEASE ENDS, OR IF YOUR VEHICLE IS DESTROYED, YOU AGREE TO NOTIFY HONDA
PROMPTLY. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY HONDA, YOU WILL REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR
ALL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE, HONDALINK, AND THE
CONNECTED VEHICLE SERVICES.

may contact you in your Vehicle or by telephone (including through automatic dialing technology, to the
extent permitted by applicable law) at any number Honda has on file for you, including any cellular phone

to store or access the Mobile App in order to allow for or optimize your use of the Mobile App. The Mobile
App may include digital rights management controls and other technical measures to control access to the

measures or attempt to disable or circumvent such security features.

properly functioning factory-installed audio system in your Vehicle, you must be a registered user of

or in connection with these Terms, HondaLink, or any of the Connected Vehicle Services (but excluding
any Liabilities to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct). We reserve the right to
assume the sole control of the defense and settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding for which you
are obliged to indemnify us. You will cooperate with us with respect to such defense and settlement.
17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their interpretation, validity,
performance, or breach) (a “Dispute”), the Dispute shall be resolved solely as follows. A party shall send
a written notice to all affected parties describing the Dispute and any relief requested, including any specific
damages claimed. In order to permit the affected parties to attempt to resolve the matter amicably, no
arbitral or judicial proceeding may be commenced until the passage of sixty (60) days from the receipt of
the written notice.

11350690.6
If the affected parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within the 60-day time period, any Dispute, other
than a claim for wrongful death or personal injury, shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration
administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Rules (information about
the AAA and its rules is available at www.adr.org.). In the event that the AAA is unavailable or unwilling
to administer the arbitration, and the parties are unable to agree to a substitute, a substitute shall be appointed
by the court. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ss. 2, et seq. The
obligation to arbitrate under this section shall extend to any claims against any affiliates, officers, directors,
contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, agents, or employees of a party. This provision shall not apply to
claims of patent, trademark, or copyright infringement or misappropriation of trade secrets.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to an award of all
costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in the successful prosecution or defense of any
claim. However, if a claimant recovers less than the respondent’s highest written offer made before the
commencement of arbitration, the respondent shall be deemed to be the prevailing party for this purpose.
The arbitrator shall have authority to issue any and all remedies authorized by law, but the arbitrator shall
have no authority to conduct proceedings on a class or aggregated basis without the written consent of all
parties; provided, however, that in the event of the filing of over twenty five (25) arbitration claims against
Honda or any of its any affiliates, officers, directors, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, agents, or
employees raising substantially the same or similar Dispute, the AAA may at the request of such
respondents appoint a single arbitrator or panel of arbitrators to resolve some or all common issues of law
or fact.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may at its option file an individual claim in any small claims court
for disputes or claims within the scope of its subject matter jurisdiction if such court has personal
jurisdiction.
If at any time any party requests mediation, all affected parties shall participate in a mediation directly and
not solely through counsel, the requesting party to bear the costs and fees of the mediator(s).
Without derogation of the parties’ obligation to arbitrate, for any claims other than those in small claims
court, jurisdiction for any court proceedings arising out of or relating to a Dispute shall be vested exclusively
in the state or federal courts sitting in and for Los Angeles County, California, U.S.A., except that any
judgment thereof or any arbitral award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. If for any
reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury
trial.
If any part of this dispute resolution and arbitration provision is later deemed invalid as a matter of law,
then it shall be severed and the remaining portions of this provision shall remain in effect, with the exception
that if a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that the above class action waiver is
unenforceable, then this arbitration provision will be void as to you.
18. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. These Terms and use or operation of HondaLink and the Connected
Vehicle Services are governed by the substantive laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to
its or any other jurisdiction’s conflict of laws principles that would apply another law. The United Nations
Convention for the International Sale of Goods is hereby disclaimed.
19. Limited Third Party Beneficiaries. Honda’s licensors and its affiliates that are controlled by or under
common control with Honda are intended third party beneficiaries of Sections 15 and 16, and all of Honda’s
disclaimers and limitations of liability in these Terms.

28. Interpretation of Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any provision of these

support services to you with respect to the Mobile App. To the extent that there are any such

of liability in these Terms) will be Honda’s sole responsibility.

of the Mobile App infringes on a third party’s intellectual property rights, Honda (and not Apple)
will be solely responsible for any investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such
intellectual property infringement claims.
(g) If you have any questions, complaint or claims with respect to the Mobile App they should be
