transferred to you. You are only entitled to the limited
use of LG Software as is granted in these license
terms.
You may not copy, modify, decompile or reverse
engineer our software in any way unless you are
allowed to do so by law. We reserve the right to
suspend, withdraw or discontinue all or part of the
Services without notice if we consider that you are in
breach of these Terms of Use.
You acknowledge that LG Software has not been
developed to meet your individual requirements. We
make no promises or guarantees that LG Software
is free from bugs or errors or that it will always be
available. We use commercially reasonable efforts
to provide LG Software on a continuous, high quality
basis but cannot guarantee that they will always be
available, uninterrupted or error free. It is possible
that we may have to interrupt or discontinue the LG
Software or suspend or restrict your use of all or any
part of the Services where we consider it reasonably
necessary for technical, operational, security, legal or
regulatory reasons.
We do not accept any responsibility if for any reason
the Services or any part of them are unavailable at
any time or for any period.
Although you may use LG Software to download and
access content or applications made available by third
parties on your LG Software, we make no promises
or guarantees that you will always be able to access
such content or applications. So far as we are legally
able to do so, we exclude any warranties, conditions
or other terms which may be implied into these
license terms by law.
So far as we are legally able to do so, we exclude any
liability for any loss or damage incurred by you or
any other person in connection with your use of LG
Software. We are only responsible for loss or damage
suffered that is a foreseeable result of our breach
of these license terms or our negligence up to the
amount specied below, 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 when you starting using LG Software.
For any loss or damage that is not excluded
under these license terms, whether in contract,
tort (including negligence) or otherwise, the total
liability of us and our group of companies to you
is limited to the amount that you paid for your LG
Software service. To the extent permissible under
the applicable laws, some jurisdictions do not allow
the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental
or consequential damages, or have legislation that
restricts the limitation or exclusion of liability, so the
above limitation may not apply to you.
Nothing is these license terms shall limit or exclude
our liability for death or personal injury relating from
our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
or any other liability that cannot be excluded or
limited by law.
LG Software provides access to “apps” and link to
other services owned and operated by third parties,
such as content providers. Any third party apps,
services and content that you access via the Services
are made available to you by these third party
providers and are outside the scope of these Terms of
Use.
Your dealings with any third party providers are solely
between you and the relevant provider and may be
subject to the provider’s own terms and conditions
and privacy policy. We encourage you to read these
documents, although we are not responsible for their
content. We do not accept any responsibility for apps,
services or content provided by third party providers.

interruption, disabling, removal of or suspension of
any content, application or service made available

nor liable for customer service related to the content,
application and services. Any question or request for
service relating to third party’s content, application
or services should be made directly to the respective
content and service providers or application
developers, as appropriate.
These terms do not affect your statutory rights as a
consumer.
Suitability of the Services for children and parental
control tools
Modify this accordingly to suit if appropriate: The
Services are not directed at children under the age
of 13 and are not structured specically to attract
children under 13. Further, certain content that
you may access through your use of the Services
may contain material that you consider indecent,
objectionable or which may not be suitable for
children.
If you permit a child to use your LG Smart TV to
access the Services, you are solely responsible for
deciding whether or not the relevant Services are
appropriate for access by that child.
[Your Smart TV offers a parental control tool (by
way of a 4 digit PIN). If you have enabled the 4-digit
PIN, your LG Smart TV will not be able to display
restricted content unless you type in the PIN. You
are responsible for setting up and maintaining the
parental control tool and any other controls that are
available, and we will not be responsible for any harm,
loss or damage you suffer or any other user of your
LG Smart TV suffers as a result of your failure to do
so. Depending on the models of your LG Smart TV,
these features may not be available.
Viruses and Security
Modify this accordingly to suit if appropriate: We use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the
Services are secure and virus free, but those efforts
cannot and do not guarantee that the Services will be
free from bugs, viruses, or other vulnerabilities.
Further, we do not accept responsibility for any loss
or damage caused by a virus, distributed denialof-service attack, or other technologically harmful
material that may infect your LG Smart TV, data or
other material belonging to you, during your use of
the Services.
Modify as you think appropriate: Complaints

about the Services, please contact [include reference
to non-personal LG email address].

Use and the documents referred to in them contain

relating to your use of the Services.
We may assign, sub-contract or otherwise transfer
any or all of our rights and obligations under these
Terms of Use to any company, rm or person. We
can only do this if it does not materially affect your
rights under these Terms of Use. You may not assign,
sub-contract or otherwise transfer your rights or
obligations under these Terms to anyone else (except
where you dispose of your LG Smart TV to a third
party) unless you rst agree this with us in writing.
If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right that
we have against you at a particular time, then this
does not prevent us from later deciding to exercise or
enforce that right.

illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court
or regulator, then, where required, that part shall be
deleted and the remaining parts of the Terms of Use
will continue to be enforceable.

that are enforceable by any person who is not party
