5. AUTHORIZED DEALER REGISTRATION.
  1. 5.1. Authorized Registration. Kumho Tires is making this Service available to allow Authorized Users to access product training videos, marketing materials, guidelines, and certification opportunities, enabling them to better sell the product and enhance their expertise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service is made available exclusively for use by Kumho Tires’s Authorized Dealers and registering for a Authorized User Account does provide an unauthorized dealer with an Authorized Dealer status nor does Registration establish any current or future business relationship or expectation with Kumho Tires.

You must treat, secure, and protect your User ID and all related information as confidential information, and you must not disclose it to any other Person. You also acknowledge that your User ID and Authorized User Account is personal to you and you agree not to provide any other person with access to this Service or portions of it using your User ID, password or other security information and to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use thereof or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit and log out from your Authorized User Account at the end of each session. You agree not to access your Authorized User Account from a public or shared computer or other public network so that others are not able to view or record your password or other Authorized User Information.
  3. 5.3. Deactivation. We have the right to disable or deactivate any User ID, corresponding password or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these EDGE Terms.
6. NO BUSINESS EXPECTATION.

Your successful Registration and set up of an Authorized User Account in accordance with Section 4.1 does not obligate Kumho Tires and Kumho Tires does not make any promise to sell any products or services in any amount to any dealer. Authorized User acknowledges and agrees that these EDGE Terms govern Authorized User’s use of the Service only and that the terms and conditions of any business relationship between Kumho Tires and any Authorized Dealer are governed by separate agreements.

7. ACCURACY AND CHANGES TO DEALER INFORMATION.

You agree to provide your accurate, up-to-date and truthful Authorized User Information during Registration and when you otherwise provide information in connection with your use of the Service. You further agree to promptly update all your Authorized User Information whenever the information provided to us by you is found to be in error or becomes inaccurate. You can update your Authorized User Information by contacting us at [_KumhoEdge@KumhoTireUSA.com_]. We are not responsible for any service-related issues or errors arising from your failure to submit or maintain current and accurate Authorized User Information. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have failed to submit or maintain current and accurate Authorized User Information, we may temporarily suspend or terminate your access to your Authorized User Account and the Service.

8. DATA SECURITY.

In connection with Authorized User’s use of the Service, Authorized User shall maintain and implement for its Authorized Devices and Systems adequate technical and procedural access controls and System security requirements and devices, necessary for data privacy, confidentiality, integrity, authorization, authentication, non-repudiation, virus detection, and eradication.
