4.2 Licence to SunDrive

By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to use, reproduce, modify, display, and distribute Your Content in connection with operating and improving the Service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

SunDrive provides navigation assistance as a convenience only. You must at all times:

  • Not rely solely on SunDrive navigation for critical driving decisions

SunDrive is not a replacement for official navigation or local road authority information.

SunDrive integrates with third-party services including Apple Maps/MapKit and Google services. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY AUSTRALIAN LAW, WE EXCLUDE ALL CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE IMPLIED BY LAW.
