This information will be used to inform us about how the Application and Services are performing and it may be disclosed to third party providers that we engage to track and collect information about the functioning of applications and services and how they can be improved. Some of our third party providers are located overseas and as a result you authorise us to transfer and store this information outside of Australia.

You are liable for any third-party fees or charges incurred as a result of your use of the Application and the Services at any time. You may be required to provide your credit card information or other payment details before you can access certain Services made available through the Application.
- Excessive Use: If at any time your use of the Application and the Services is so excessive that it interferes with our ability to provide the Application and the Services to other customers, we may suspend or revoke your access to the Application and the Services, at our sole election.
- Availability: The Application and the Services are downloaded to your compatible smartphone and connected to your vehicle via Bluetooth®. The Application and the Services will be provided to your vehicle only: within Australia; if the Lexus Enform hardware and software is up to date on both your vehicle and compatible smartphone; your compatible smartphone is connected to your vehicle; when your vehicle is within the operating range of your telecommunications carrier and in an area not affected by atmospheric and topographical conditions (e.g. bad weather or when indoors or underground); and subject to the technological limitations of the communication and GPS systems that the Application and Services rely upon, including your carrier service being operational or available and the availability of GPS location information. Due to the large number of different mobile phones on the market and continual development of devices, Lexus cannot fully guarantee compatibility of your device with the Application and the Services and we recommend checking functionality of your device when connected to your vehicle.
- Limited Warranty: You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of the Application and the Services is at your sole risk and that the entire risk as to satisfactory quality, performance, accuracy and effort is with you. Nothing in these Terms limits, excludes or modifies or purports to limit, exclude or modify the statutory consumer guarantees as provided under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any other applicable laws in the States and Territories of Australia. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Application and the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, with all faults and without warranty of any kind and Lexus hereby disclaims all warranties, guarantees and conditions with respect to the Application and the Services. Lexus does not warrant against interference with your enjoyment of the Application and the Services, that the functions contained within the Application or Services or performed or provided by them will meet your requirements, that the operation of the Application or Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects (if any) in the Application or Services will be corrected. No oral or written information or advice given by Lexus or its authorised representative shall create a warranty.
Lexus expressly limits its liability for breach of a condition or warranty implied or a consumer guarantee imposed by virtue of any legislation to the following remedies (the choice of which is to be at Lexus’ sole discretion):
- in the case of goods, any one or more of the following:
the replacement of the goods or supply of equivalent goods;
the repair of the goods;
the payment of the costs of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or
the payment of the costs of having the goods repaired; and
- in the case of services, the supply of the services again or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.
The information accessed via the Application or any Service is not exhaustive. Lexus will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information provided via the Application and/or Services is accurate and current, but makes no warranties or representations that this information is accurate, complete, current or suitable for your purposes. In particular, location data provided by the Application or any Service is for basic navigational purposes only and is not intended to be relied upon. - Limitations: Apart from the technological limitations outlined above, the Application and/or Services may also be affected by the electrical system design and architecture of your vehicle and the installation of window tinting. For example, if your vehicle's battery is discharged, disconnected, in 'sleep' or 'power off' mode or if the electrical component is damaged in an accident, then the Application and/or Services may not be available. The installation of window tinting may also obstruct GPS signals. Many window tinting films contain some metallic content that can interfere with the GPS signals. We recommend that only organic or charcoal based window tinting be used on a vehicle fitted with the in-vehicle display incorporating the Application. The availability of the Application and/or Services is also subject to applicable legislation, government regulations or orders, the capability limitations of the in-vehicle display, the Application and/or Services and any modifications and upgrades that may be carried out to those systems and applications. We may also suspend the Application and Services at any time without notice and liability in an emergency or temporarily deactivate the Application and/or Services for nuisance or safety reasons. We may at any time change or cease, temporarily or permanently, any element or functionality of the Application and/or Services, including but not limited to, introducing new applications or functionality, or supplementing, changing or discontinuing any part of the current applications or functionality.
- Termination: We may discontinue the Application and/or Services in part or in full at any time if you breach these Terms. We may also suspend or terminate the Application and/or Services at any time without notice or liability: in the event of circumstances beyond our reasonable control which results in us being unable to perform on time our obligations under these Terms (including, without limitation, fire, storm, explosion, an act of God or terrorism); or if it is impractical to continue the Application and/or Services; or if we are unable to secure or obtain the rights necessary to provide the Application and/or Services including, without limitation, connections necessary for the transmission of signals between your location, the Lexus Customer Assistance Centre and any other location which we deem necessary for the provision of the Application and any or all of the Services. We may also terminate the Application and/or Services for operational reasons with reasonable notice to you. You may terminate the Application and Services upon notice to the Lexus Customer Assistance Centre or by other methods notified to you by us from time to time. Should you wish to terminate the Application and/or Services and such termination includes Third Party Services, such termination will be subject to Third Party Terms.

Except for any liability that cannot by law be excluded or limited, We (including our respective officers, employees and agents) exclude all liability for any loss or damage(including direct, indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of opportunity, loss of profits, loss of data or business interruption costs) arising out of or related in any way to your use or inability to use the Applicationand/or the Services, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, including negligence or otherwise) and even if Lexus has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose. To the extent that any liability cannot be excluded by law, We limit our liability for any loss or damage suffered or incurred by you in respect ofthe Application and/or the Services to the minimum allowed by law or, where no minimum is specified, $100.
