1. Your Acceptance
BY USING AND/OR VISITING THE YAMAHA WEBSITE, YOU SIGNIFY YOUR ASSENT TO BOTH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF WEBSITE ACCESS AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YAMAHA'S PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH ARE PUBLISHED AT /corporate/gen_privacy.aspx, AND WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

2. Yamaha Website
This Agreement applies solely to the Yamaha Website, which may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by Yamaha. For instance, if you apply for Yamaha Factory Financing or establish a Yamaha Card Account, you may access the independent website of HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A. or another third party. Yamaha has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites. In addition, Yamaha will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third party site. By using the Website, you expressly relieve Yamaha from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website. Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the Yamaha Website, and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit.

6. User Submissions
The Yamaha Website may now or in the future permit the publication of communications or data posted by you and other users ("User Submissions").

You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with User Submissions, you agree that you will not: (i) post material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post the material; (ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage Yamaha or any third party; (iii) post material that is obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful or embarrassing to another user or any other person or entity; (iv) post advertisements or solicitations of business; (v) post chain letters or pyramid schemes; or (vi) impersonate another person.

Yamaha does not endorse any User Submission or any opinion, recommendation or advice expressed therein, and Yamaha expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Submissions. Yamaha does not screen communications in advance, and shall not be responsible for screening or monitoring User Submissions. If notified by a user of a User Submission that allegedly does not conform to this Agreement, Yamaha may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and in its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the User Submission.

11. General
You agree that: (i) the Yamaha Website shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the Yamaha Website shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Yamaha, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Any claim or dispute between you and Yamaha that arises in whole or in part from the Yamaha Website shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Orange County, California. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy at /corporate/gen_privacy.aspx and any other legal notices published by Yamaha on the Website, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Yamaha concerning the Yamaha Website. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Yamaha's failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Yamaha reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review the Agreement for any changes. Your use of the Yamaha Website following any amendment of this Agreement will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms.
