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

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.

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 suer or any other user

of your LG Smart TV suers as a result of your failure

to do so. Depending on the models of your LG

Smart TV, these features may not be available.

else (except where you dispose of your LG Smart TV

to a third party) unless you rst agree this with us in

writing.

that we have against you at a particular time, then
