These Terms of Use shall, in principle, apply to your use of the LGE Service.

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 read and 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.

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.

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.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APPLICATION PROVIDER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY TERMS, CONDITIONS OR WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, CORRESPONDENCE WITH DESCRIPTION, SATISFACTORY QUALITY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE APPLICATION PROVIDER MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH REGARD TO ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE.

You agree to comply with all applicable and international export laws and regulations. These laws include restrictions on destinations, end users, and end use.
