8. PERSONAL INFORMATION

8.1 In the Terms, Personal Information has the meaning given to that term in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

8.2 Upon submission of an account application, Members agree and consent to LSH's collection, use and disclosure of information (some of which may be Personal Information) about the Member. We will be unable to process your application or provide Iridium Club services to you if you do not provide personal information that we request.

8.3 LSH collects Personal Information and other information about Members so that LSH can carry out its business activities in a professional and efficient manner, and improve LSH's services. LSH also collects Member's Personal Information for the purposes stated in the LSH Privacy Policy, including delivering marketing materials to Members regarding new services and offers LSH believes may be of interest to Members, and conducting market research, marketing or promotional activities.

8.4 Personal Information will be collected directly from the Member.

8.5 By participating in the Iridium Club, the Member consents to receiving direct marketing from LSH.

8.6 Members may opt-out of direct marketing by following the link provided in any direct marketing email (where applicable) or making such a request directly to LSH.

8.7 Members may request access to, an update to, or deletion of their Personal Information held by LSH by contacting their LSH operated Mercedes-Benz retail outlet in writing.

8.8 We may disclose personal information to third parties we engage in connection with the Iridium Club, or as otherwise necessary and appropriate in the course of performing our activities and business functions. For example, we may disclose personal information to certain contractors or service providers we engage to provide the Benefits, and to other members of the LSH corporate group. Generally we are not likely to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients.

8.9 Members seeking more information about how LSH manages Personal Information may access the LSH Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy contains information about how you may access your personal information held by us and seek correction of such information. It also contains information about how you may complain about a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles and how we will deal with such a complaint.

9. LIABILITY

9.1 Certain laws may imply terms, warranties or guarantees into the Terms, the exclusion of which would contravene those laws or render void the clause containing that exclusion. LSH does not intend to exclude the application of those laws in this clause 9.

9.2 To the extent permitted by law, LSH excludes all liability arising from or in connection with the Terms or the Iridium Club. If LSH is not permitted to exclude its liability, then LSH's liability to a Member is limited to at LSH's option, the payment of $50, the replacement or resupply of the goods or services to which the liability relates or payment of the cost of doing so.

10. GENERAL

10.1 In these terms, unless the contrary intention appears:

  • (a) the singular includes the plural and vice versa;
  • (b) '$' means Australian dollars; and
  • (c) a reference to 'include' or 'including' means 'including but not limited to'.

10.2 The Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. LSH and the Member submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of that State.

10.3 If part or all of a clause of the Terms is illegal, void or unenforceable, then it will be severed from and does not affect the validity of the rest of the Terms.

10.4 LSH may update the Terms at any time at its discretion. Updated terms will be published on our website. If any update to the Terms materially affects a Member's rights, LSH will provide them with fourteen days' prior notice of the update.
