LG Electronics, Inc. (“LGE”) together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “LG Group”, “we”, “our” or “us”) welcomes you, the end-user (“User(s)” or “you”), to our service.

These terms of use (“Terms of Use”) set forth information necessary for Users to use various services, such as mobile apps and websites, that we provide in connection with our products and smart devices (including customized services based on your preference) listed here (collectively, “LGE Service”). These Terms of Use, for example, include the following:

• how you may use the LGE Service and how we provide the LGE Service to you;

• rights, responsibilities, and rules applicable to you and LGE in connection with your use of the LGE Service;

We also recommend that you read other policies that may apply to your use of the LGE Service, including the Privacy Policy, which can be found on the LGE Service here.

These Terms of Use shall, in principle, apply to your use of the LGE Service. However, in respect of your use of certain services, you may be subject to service-specific terms in addition to these Terms of Use. For example, when purchasing goods and services on the LGE Service, the Terms and Conditions of Purchase may apply, and you will be presented with such terms that will need to be accepted in order to complete your purchase. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this agreement and such service-specific terms, the service-specific terms will prevail but only with respect to that service. In addition, for certain services, additional policies, instructions, guidelines, and notifications may apply, and we advise that you read them carefully prior to your use of these services.

If we suspend or delete your accounts, we will try to notify you at least 30 days before suspension or deletion at the email address registered on your account.

3. Rights and Obligations of the Users

However, the license is provided on a limited, non-transferable, revocable and non-exclusive basis, and you may use the LGE Service and the LGE Content for personal and non-commercial purposes only. The license granted includes software and other data necessary for the provision of the LGE Service and the LGE Content, along with the applicable updates, upgrades, improvements, modifications, changes and additions. Upon consenting to these Terms of Use, you will be granted the license to use the LGE Service and the LGE Content only within the conditions specified in these Terms of Use and the applicable End User License Agreement (“EULA”) for the LGE Content, if any. You will not acquire any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights relating to the LGE Service and the LGE Content, except as expressly specified herein or in the applicable EULA. Further, the details and the scope of the license may vary depending on the country, your device and type of operating system, internal policies of LGE and its business partners, and other operational or technical needs. You agree that we have no liability to you for any non-interoperability between LGE Content you download and your mobile device, and any damages caused by your erroneous input of the information concerning your device.

License to User Created Content

You may, on certain LGE Services, upload, submit, store, transmit, receive or share your reviews, posts, photos, messages, documents and other content (“User Created Content”), to which you hold the copyright. You will retain ownership of any User Created Content that you submit, and you are not required to provide such User Generated Content on the LGE Service. We make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of the User Created Content or any User Generated Content uploaded by any other user.

By uploading or sharing User Created Content on the LGE Service, you will grant LGE a worldwide, non-exclusive, free of charge, revocable, transferable and sub-licensable license to copy, edit, distribute, translate, digitalize, publish, implement, indicate, modify and create derivative works of, the User Created Content for the duration of the protection of the intellectual property rights in the User Created Content, to the extent necessary for the operation, promotion and improvement of the LGE Service.

Further, LGE may sublicense the foregoing license to the following parties:

- other Users to ensure the LGE Service functions as originally designed (e.g., sharing posts with selected persons); or

- third party service providers who have a contractual relationship with LGE, for the limited purpose of allowing LGE to provide the LGE Service in accordance with these Terms of Use.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LGE holds the license to the User Created Content only to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, and is not granted any right in excess of such limit.

5. Restriction of Use of LGE Service and Deletion of User Created Content

Possible Measures in Case of Problems

In any of the following events, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the LGE Service or delete your Account or User Created Content:

• if you or your User Created Content are in material or repeated culpable breach of these Terms of Use, additional terms that may apply to your use of the LGE Service, LGE’s other policies (which are available at LG ThinQ App Info) or any applicable laws and regulations;

• if you explicitly indicate your lack of intent to comply with these Terms of Use and additional terms that may apply to your use of the LGE Service;

• if it is necessary to comply with legal obligations or court orders;

• if your behavior or your User Created Content is reasonably deemed to cause damage to or create liability on the part of others, including other Users and LGE (e.g., hacking, phishing, harassment, transmission of spam, misleading conduct, false information, invasion of others’ privacy, defamation, or unauthorized display of content that does not belong to the User); or

Notification

If deemed reasonably possible, prior to taking the foregoing measures, we will notify you of our rationale for taking such measures to give you a chance to rectify the identified problem. However, we may decide to not notify you if the notification may:

• cause damage to or create liability on the part of other Users, third parties, or LGE;

• violate applicable laws and regulations or orders of a regulatory authority;

• interfere with the investigation of regulatory authorities; or

• undermine the operation, integrity, or security of the LGE Service.

Users’ Responsibility Relating to Measures such as the Restriction of Use

The applicable User, not LGE, will be responsible for any damage and loss (including with respect to data and content) that may arise out of or in connection with the implementation of measures as a result of the User's breach of these Terms of Use, such as restriction of the User’s use of the LGE Service or termination of the User's Account. To avoid any data loss, please create backups or ensure that the data and content stored via the LGE Service are also stored in another location, by using e.g., online backup services.

6. Change, Suspension and Termination of the LGE Service

Change of the LGE Service

If we add new functionality to or launch a new version of the LGE Service or in the event of a change in applicable law, we may change the LGE Service as follows:

• change, add, or delete elements or functions of the LGE Service, for example, for enhanced functions, performance security, bug fixes, and service improvement;

• suspend or limit the use of or access to the LGE Service, including access to Accounts;

• examine, flag, modify, decline to post, block access to or delete any LGE Content without notice or liability; or

• disable access to, block or modify remotely any LGE Content previously downloaded from the LGE Service to your device, if such actions are necessary or appropriate as a result of LGE's contractual obligations, changes in law, a court order, or for other reasons.

If LGE removes, disables access to, or otherwise blocks you from accessing any LGE Content, you will need to contact the provider of the relevant LGE Content.

Suspension and Termination of the LGE Service

To the extent permitted by applicable law, LGE may suspend or terminate all or part of the LGE Service in any of the following events at any time:

• to operate or improve the LGE Service or to comply with obligations under applicable laws;

• if LGE’s business partners that provide LGE with elements of the LGE Service decide to terminate the provision of all or part of such elements of the LGE Service; or

• in the event of maintenance, inspection or replacement or failure of the information and communication facilities (such as, computers, servers and telecommunication networks), surge in traffic, interruption of communication, and other reasonable ground making it difficult to continue the operation of the LGE Service.

LGE may suspend or terminate all or part of the LGE Service at any time and for any business reason by providing you a prior written notification at least 30 days before such suspension or termination.

Notification, Compensation and Liability in the Event of Change, Suspension or Termination

Material change, suspension and termination adversely affecting the use of the LGE Service will be notified to Users in advance via the email registered on the Account or other reasonable ways, including posting on the LGE Service. However, changes may take effect immediately without prior notification if there is a change in any applicable law or regulation or there are security reasons which mean such change, suspension or termination is required. If you do not wish to continue using the LGE Service following a material change, suspension or termination, you may terminate your Account.

Unless otherwise required under applicable laws and regulations, Users will not be entitled to any compensation in connection with the change, suspension or termination of all or part of the LGE Service.

The rights and obligations of the User and LGE under these Terms of Use shall survive the termination of the LGE Service or the User’s Account.

7. LGE’s Liability and Warranties

Liability

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits our liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict our liability.

If we fail to comply with these Terms of Use, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms of Use or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into these Terms of Use.

We only supply the LGE Service for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the LGE Service, or any LGE Content, for any commercial or business purposes and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

We are not liable for any loss or damage suffered by you as a result of: (i) your negligence whilst using the LGE Service; (ii) your breach of these Terms of Use; or (iii) in case of force majeure.

Use of the LGE Service and the LGE Content may require access to the Internet. Please note that depending on your telecom service plan, additional mobile charges may apply to your Internet access. We are not liable for the connection or speed of your Internet service.

Warranties

LGE’s warranty with respect to the LGE Service (including the content of the LGE Service, functions of the LGE Service, trustworthiness, availability and satisfaction of the Users’ needs) and the LGE Content is limited to (1) the matters provided by these Terms of Use and additional terms that may apply to your use of the LGE Service and the LGE Content, or (2) the extent permitted under applicable laws and regulations. No other warranty is given in connection with the LGE Service and the LGE Content. In particular, a smart device connected with the LGE Service and the LGE Content could be disconnected with the LGE Service or become unusable, due to poor network connection or update of the LGE Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, the LGE Service and the LGE Content are provided ‘as is’ or ‘as available’ and is without any warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to, merchantability, maintenance of good quality, skilled manipulation of devices, fitness for a particular purpose, integrity, adequacy, no virus, calm environment and non-infringement with respect to the LGE Service and the LGE Content.

Please note that some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, terms or conditions or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitations and exclusions may be limited in their application to you and you may have additional rights. For further information about your statutory rights, please contact your local authority, trading standards department, citizens’ advice bureau or equivalent.

8. Third Party Service

We collaborate with global business partners to provide useful content via the LGE Service. The LGE Service may include content (e.g., information, links, and advertisements), products, services, apps, and other materials provided by a third party (“Third Party Service”). You may enjoy various benefits through the Third Party Service. However, we do not control the Third Party Service, and accordingly to the extent permitted by applicable law we are not liable for any damage or loss arising out of your use of the Third Party Service. We do not make any representations or warranties regarding, and to the extent permitted by applicable law accept no liability in respect of, the Third Party Service. You agree that your use of the Third Party Service will be at your sole risk, and we will have no liability to you as a result of your exposure to the Third Party Service.

9. Advertisement

We provide various LGE Services free of charge, and to this end some LGE Services may include (customized) advertisements, which may be provided based on certain Users’ preferences. The LGE Service may include advertisements and marketing information provided by us or a third party, and for those advertisements and marketing information provided by third party advertisers, we are unable to control the usefulness, accuracy, or completeness of such information. Accordingly, unless we are attributable, we will not be responsible for any liability arising out of such advertisements and communication or transaction between you and such advertiser, including any damage that may arise out of any reliance by you on such advertisements.
