5. Community Services, Vehicle Listings, Reviews and Ratings.
5.1. Community
Services. CarHub provides a number of means by which you may communicate
with other users and with us, including various communication and
personalization tools and services that are part of our CarHub community (the “Community Services”). The Community
Services may include comments, discussion forums, vehicle listings, reviews,
and ratings, in which you or other users may post content, messages, materials
or other items on the Service. All of your communications made to or through
these other means or our Community Services, as well as any attachments to
those communications or otherwise submitted to us (such as documents, photographs
and videos) are included in the definition of “User Content,” and are subject
to the terms for User Content as set forth above. You are solely responsible
for your use of such Community Services and use them at your own risk. No
action should be taken based upon any of the information contained in the
Community Services. You should seek independent professional advice from a
person who is licensed and/or knowledgeable in the applicable area before
acting upon any opinion, advice, or information contained on the Service. All
statements, information and other User Content submitted by users are solely
the opinions of users, and not of CarHub. You are responsible for all usage and
activity in the Community Services through your username and password,
including use of your username and password by any third party. You are
responsible for all usage and activity in the Community Services through your
username and password, including use of your username and password by any third
party. You should be aware that disclosure in the Community Services of your
full name, street address or other personal information raises safety concerns
and may result in solicitations from third parties or unwanted communications.
We disclaim any responsibility or liability arising from your disclosure of
such personal information, or any other information, in the Community Services.
5.4. Vehicle
Listings. The information in vehicle listings provided on the Service is
supplied by the seller or other third parties. CarHub is not responsible for
the accuracy of such information. CarHub provides the Service and all
information and materials without conditions, representations or warranties of
any kind, either expressed or implied. CarHub is not a party to any transaction
between vehicle buyers and sellers that originates from information found on
the Service. Prices do not include additional fees such as government fees and
taxes, title and registration fees, licensing and plate fees, finance charges,
dealer document preparation fees, and emission testing. You expressly
understand and agree that any vehicle valuations are opinions and may vary from
vehicle to vehicle. Actual valuations are based upon current available
information and analysis of market conditions, and will vary depending on
specifications, vehicle condition or other particular circumstances pertinent
to a particular vehicle or the transaction or the parties to the transaction.
5.5. Reviews
and Ratings. There are parts of the Service to provide reviews and ratings
of your personal experience with a vehicle or dealership. Your review should
describe your experience with facts. Please only write a review if you own or
regularly drive the vehicle. Your review should contain facts and details of
your driving experience. Your review of a dealership must describe an
experience that occurred within the past two (2) years. While we do permit you
to include your description of and frank opinion about your experience, we do
not permit conduct that is otherwise prohibited in our user conduct policy
herein. However, we do not remove a review or comment in response to
allegations that it contains defamatory language or inaccuracies, or because it
may be offensive to some people. If you, or a member of your household, are associated
with any automotive manufacturer, dealer or advertising agency, or with a
supplier to the automotive industry, you are required to disclose that
relationship in your review and in any comment. You may not submit a review of
your experience if you have been offered any payment or other incentive to do
so, or if you have a personal relationship with the owner or any of the
employees of the dealership. It is a violation of these Terms of Service for
you to (i) create, submit or post any review on behalf of another person, (ii)
create, submit or post any review that is not a bona fide reflection of your
actual experience, or (iii) advise or induce anyone else to create or post, or
to participate or assist anyone in the creation or posting of, any review that
is not a bona fide reflection of the actual experience of the person submitting
that review. Anyone who violates the foregoing prohibition will be subject to
legal recourse by us, including claims for damages and/or for indemnification
as provided herein.

13. Termination,
Suspension, and Restrictions, and Survival of Terms.
13.1. Termination,
Suspension, and Restrictions. CarHub may terminate or suspend your access
to or ability to use the Service immediately, without prior notice or
liability, for any reason or no reason, including breach of this Agreement. In
particular, CarHub may immediately terminate or suspend accounts that have been
flagged for repeat copyright infringement. Upon termination of your access to
or ability to use the Service, your right to use or access the Service will
immediately cease. CarHub may change, restrict access to, suspend, or
discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, including availability of
any feature, database, or content. CarHub may also impose limits on certain
features and services or restrict your access to all or parts of the Service
without notice or liability.
13.2. Survival of Terms. This Agreement’s terms and conditions that by
their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including,
without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations
of liability. Termination of your access to and use of the Service shall not
relieve you of any obligations arising or accruing prior to termination or
limit any liability that you otherwise may have to CarHub or any third party.
14. Disclaimers.
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF THE SERVICE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, AND MOBILE SERVICES), IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS
PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE
LAW, CARHUB, ITS
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS, DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
CARHUB DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT
THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED
OR THAT SERVICE OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR
ANY OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. CARHUB DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE CONTENT OR
DATA ON THE SERVICE, WITH RESPECT TO THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY
OR OTHERWISE. CARHUB
DOES NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY
PRODUCTS, VEHICLES, OR SERVICES ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH
THE SERVICE OR ANY HYPERLINKED SERVICES OR FEATURED IN ANY OTHER ADVERTISING,
AND CARHUB WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING
ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS, VEHICLES, OR
SERVICES. AS WITH THE PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS, VEHICLES, OR SERVICES THROUGH ANY
MEDIUM OR IN ANY ENVIRONMENT, YOU SHOULD USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND EXERCISE
CAUTION WHERE APPROPRIATE. APPLICABLE LAW
MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.
15. Limitations
of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL CARHUB, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM YOUR USE
OF THE SERVICE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, AND MOBILE
SERVICES), OR ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT OR DATA,
(II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING
FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE, (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR
USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION AND/OR
FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN, (IV) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF
TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICE, (IV) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR
THE LIKE, WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICE BY ANY THIRD
PARTY, AND/OR (V) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR DATA OR FOR ANY
LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT OR
DATA POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICE,
WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND
WHETHER OR NOT CARHUB IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE
FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CARHUB
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR USER CONTENT OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL
CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM THE
FOREGOING RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. IN NO
EVENT WILL CARHUB’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO USE THE SERVICE.
16. Indemnification.
To
the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless CarHub, its parent corporation, officers, directors, employees and
agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses,
liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to
attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Service
(including, without limitation, Hardware, Software, and Mobile Services); (ii)
your violation of any term of this Agreement; (iii) your violation of any third
party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy
right; or (iv) any claim that your User Content caused damage to a user or third
party. CarHub may assume the exclusive defense and
control of any matter for which users have agreed to indemnify CarHub and you
agree to assist and cooperate with CarHub in the defense or settlement of any
such matters. This
defense and indemnification obligation will survive the termination of this
Agreement and your use of the Service.
17. Dispute Resolution.
17.1. Mandatory
Arbitration. For any dispute you have with CarHub, you agree to first
contact CarHub and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If CarHub has not
been able to resolve the dispute with you informally, we each agree to resolve
any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other
equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement
by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration
Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect
for the AAA, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in the
County of Los Angeles, State of California, in the United States. Each party
will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees
in accordance with AAA rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall
include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs
for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This
arbitration agreement survives the termination of this Agreement between you
and CarHub.
17.2. Waivers
of Class Action and Trial by Jury. You and CarHub both waive any right to
participate in any class action involving disputes between us, and you and
CarHub are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. All claims must be
brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class
member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless we
agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s
claims. This class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration
agreement and may not be severed. If for any reason this class action waiver is
found unenforceable, then the entire arbitration agreement will not apply.
However, the waiver of the right to trial by jury set forth in this Section
will remain in full force and effect.
17.3. Other
Remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an
individual action in small claims court. Nothing in this Section precludes you
from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or
other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security,
intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.
17.4. Time
Limitations. YOU AND CARHUB AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THIS AGREEMENT MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1)
YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY
BARRED.
18.
Children Under 13. The Service is a general
audience service and is not intended for children under 13. We require that
only persons 13 years of age or older use any of the Service. By using the
Service, you hereby represent that you are at least 13 years old. To view information on our policy
regarding the privacy of children under the age of 13, please see the Privacy
Policy. Parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or
filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting
access to material that may be considered harmful to minors.

20. Users From Other Jurisdictions.
By accessing or using the Service, or submitting information, you acknowledge
that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Agreement and
consent to having your data transferred to and processed in the United States.
If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, please do not use the
Service. The Service is controlled and operated by CarHub from the United
States. We do not represent or warrant that the Service, or any part thereof,
is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who
choose to access the Service, do so on their own initiative and at their own
risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and
regulations. You also are subject to United States export controls in
connection with your use of the Service and are responsible for any violations
of such controls, including, without limitation, any United States embargoes or
other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. We may limit the
availability of the Service, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic
area or jurisdiction that we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion.
21. General. This Agreement shall be
governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without
respect to its conflict of laws principles. This Agreement, including, without
limitation, these Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy and any
other legal notices published by us on the Service, shall constitute the entire
agreement between you and CarHub concerning the Service. 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 CarHub’s failure to assert any right
or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right
or provision. We reserve the right to amend this Agreement, including, without
limitation, these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, at any time and
without notice, and it is your responsibility to review this Agreement,
including, without limitation, these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy
for any changes. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder,
may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by CarHub
without restriction. Your use of the Service following any amendment of this
Agreement will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms.
