The Platform is controlled and operated within the United States and is not intended for use outside of the United States. You and your Authorized Users are hereby prohibited from accessing or using the Platform from any territory where the Platform or any of the features, functionality, tools, or content thereof, is illegal.

You must be approved for an account before you are able to use any of the Services. You may apply for an account by contacting Car IQ at sales@cariqpay.com, or via the Website.

Your account and account profile page will be created based upon the information you provide to us. You agree to provide complete, accurate and up-to-date information during the registration process and to update such information as necessary to ensure that it remains complete, accurate and up-to-date.

When you create your account, you will be asked to create a password or PIN, which you will be solely responsible for safeguarding. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords or PINs (passwords or PINs that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your Customer account or any other account that you may connect to your Customer account, including anyAuthorized User accounts. You agree not to disclose your password or PIN to any third party, and you agree to immediately notify Company of any unauthorized use of your account. You further acknowledge and agree that you will be solely responsible for any activities or actions on or through your account, including by your Authorized Users, whether or not you have authorized such activities

We may, in our discretion, without liability to you and without limiting our other remedies, with or without prior notice and at any time, decide to limit, suspend, deactivate or cancel your account and take steps to prevent you from using our Platform and Services at any time for any reason. Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account or your access to the Platform if you create more than one account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter is determined to be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, deceptive or fraudulent.

We reserve the right to cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a prolonged period of time. We also reserve the right to cancel accounts of Customers who fail to comply with the Terms, including the terms and conditions regarding user conduct, as set forth in the “User Conduct Guidelines” section below and elsewhere in the Terms.

If Company has suspended your account due to your actual or suspected breach of the Terms, such suspension will continue until the suspected breach is cured or otherwise resolved to Company’s reasonable satisfaction.

We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms and conditions of the Terms or that may be fraudulent or illegal.

Customer will pay Company the fees set out in the applicable Car IQ Fleet Master Services Agreement or any Fee Schedule incorporated by reference therein, if any, for access to the Platform and the Services (the “Fees”).

The Setup & Integration Fee shall become due and payable on the effective date set forth in your Car IQ Fleet Master Services Agreement. If the entire Setup & Integration Fee is not paid, Company may suspend performance hereunder, or terminate the Car IQ Fleet Master Services Agreement and any payments made for the Setup & Integration Fee prior thereto shall not be refunded. Company shall have no obligation to perform any work whatsoever unless or until the Setup & Integration Fee has been paid in full.

The Payment Platform Fee shall be calculated by Company on a monthly basis by multiplying the number of Active Vehicles during the month by the Standard Fee.  Full Standard Fees shall be payable for the month even if the vehicle was only an Active Vehicle for a portion of the relevant month. The Payment Platform Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears and shall be charged to the Customer’s Card Account the following month.

Any additional Fees payable shall be billed to Customer on a monthly basis and shall be charged to the Customer’s Card Account the following month.

If Customer believes that Company has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Company no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit.  Inquiries should be directed to Company’s customer support department at (510) 560-5006 or support@cariqpay.com.

Any unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Services.  Please note that, if you are participating in the charge card program, unpaid amounts due in connection with your Card Account may also accrue interest (and other Charges) as further described in your Car IQ Pay Vehicle Charge Card Agreement.

Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Company’s net income.

Company reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Service Term or then current renewal term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email).

Company reserves the right to set transaction velocity limits and individual transaction limits. Customer may also choose to set transaction frequency and amount limits for its Authorized Users on the Website.

Transactions approved and processed with a Card may only be used to purchase goods and services for business purposes of Customer and cannot be used for personal, family or household purposes.

If you would like to dispute any transactions made on the Platform, please contact customer service by emailing support@cariqpay.com.

You are solely responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access the App through an internet access provider or other third party, including without limitation data charges incurred if you are not connected to WiFi access, charges to receive SMS messages or other mobile access, which may be billed to you by your mobile provider. You agree that Company is not liable in any way for any third party charges.

If you are participating in a prepaid card program, you acknowledge and agree that the Cards are prepaid and can only be used to access value that you or your Business Administrator have previously loaded onto your Card Account. The value available to your Authorized Users is limited to the funds that you or your Business Administrator have loaded onto your Card Account. The Cards are not connected in any way to any other card or bank account. The prepaid Cards are not credit cards and your use of the prepaid Cards will not affect your credit rating. You will not receive any interest on your funds in the Card Account.

All prepaid Card Accounts are required to have a minimum prepaid balance. If any transactions cause the available balance in your prepaid Card Account to go below the required minimum balance or as otherwise instructed by you on the Platform to maintain the required minimum balance, Company is hereby authorized to issue instructions to your Issuer to replenish the balance of your prepaid Card Account by deducting such amount from your designated funding account. If there are not sufficient funds in your designated funding account or we are unable to replenish the balance of your prepaid Card Account for any other reason, Company may suspend your prepaid Card Account until such time as your prepaid Card Account is funded to the required minimum balance.

If the balance on your prepaid Card Account goes negative, including through any purchase transactions where the retailer or merchant does not request authorization, you shall remain fully liable for the amount of any negative balance and any corresponding transaction fees.  You agree to pay promptly for the negative balance.  If you do not promptly add sufficient funds to your prepaid Card Account to cover the negative balance, Issuer may cancel your Cards and pursue collection. Issuer further reserves the right to offset any negative balance by any current or future funds you may load to or maintain in your prepaid Card Account or funds in any other Card Account you maintain with Issuer now or in the future.

If you are participating in the charge card program, Lewis & Clark Bank will be the Issuer and your lender of record.  Issuer will establish your charge Card Account and the terms governing your access to the charge Card Account in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, a maximum credit limit, interest rates and other finance charges and fees, repayment terms, and transaction limitations. Issuer may limit your aggregate credit limits for lines of credit to any one Customer; or may limit the approval of transactions or new Cards that would or would likely result in an aggregate amount of outstanding credit on all Cards issued to exceed a set amount.  Please refer to your Car IQ Pay Vehicle Charge Card Agreement for additional terms and conditions that will apply to your charge Card Account.  In the event of any conflict between these Platform Terms and Conditions and the Car IQ Pay Vehicle Charge Card Agreement, the Car IQ Pay Vehicle Charge Card Agreement will govern.

As described in the Car IQ Pay Vehicle Charge Card Agreement, you agree to pay the full statement balance each month by the payment due date indicated on your statement. For the avoidance of doubt, you may not carry the statement balance across billing cycles. If you do not pay the full statement balance by the payment due date, we or the Issuer may decline to authorize any future transactions on your Card Account and/or Cards until the full statement balance has been paid, and you will be charged interest and a late payment fee in addition to interest on your transactions. No agreement between you and any Authorized User (including an agreement that will obligate the Authorized User to make payments in connection with your charge Card Account) will in any way affect your obligations.

We may, in our sole discretion, require you to have one or more personal or business guarantors for your charge Card Account (each, a “Guarantor”). You understand that if you default on your payment obligations, the Guarantor will also become liable for your obligations. You agree we have the right to require proof of the Guarantor’s current income and assets from time to time. You understand and acknowledge that your credit limit may be affected by the Guarantor’s current income and asset information. You further agree to immediately inform us of any significant change in circumstances regarding your Guarantor’s income or other application information.

In the event the applicable Car IQ Fleet Master Services Agreement is terminated, you will cease all use of the Platform and Services.  Customer will pay all Fees in full for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided.  No prepaid Fees shall be refunded by in the event of termination. All sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms, the receiving Party's obligations with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under any applicable Law will continue until such time, if ever, as such Confidential Information ceases to qualify for trade secret protection under one or more such applicable Laws.

• WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, COMPANY AND EACH ISSUER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED  TO  (I)  YOUR  USE  OF  OR  INABILITY  TO  USE  THE  PLATFORM  AND  SERVICES,  AND  (II)  ANY AUTHORIZED USERS’ USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES.

To the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, you agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Company, its parent, subsidiaries,  affiliates,  licensors  and  service  providers,  and  its  and  their  officers,  directors,  shareholders,  agents,  employees  and representatives, harmless (collectively “indemnify” or any variation thereof) from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including, any bodily injury, illness, death or damage to any real or personal property, or any other injuries, losses, or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind, and including documented legal fees and litigation expenses and costs, arising out of or relating to or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Platform, including any and all features, functionality, tools, content and Services available on and through the Platform, (ii) your breach of the Terms, including any violation of national, federal, state or local or other applicable laws, rules or regulations or any infringement or misappropriation of the rights of any third party, and (iii) your negligence or willful misconduct.

No person or entity shall be entitled to any form of equitable or implied indemnification at any time, except as provided by the Terms.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND COMPANY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

The Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of these Terms, all disputes, claims, controversies and matters between the Parties relating to or in connection with these Terms (or the breach thereof) or any transactions hereunder (a “Dispute”) shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Either Party may initiate arbitration by filing a claim in accordance with the AAA Rules. Any issue concerning the extent to which any Dispute is subject to arbitration, or concerning the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of these procedures, including any contention that all or part of these procedures are invalid or unenforceable, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and resolved by the arbitrator(s). The arbitration shall take place in or around San Francisco, California before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules and shall be conducted in the English language. For Disputes involving a claim of $500,000 or more in relief, a panel of three arbitrators shall be selected to hear the Dispute.  In such case, each Party shall select one arbitrator who shall be independent and unaffiliated with such Party, and the two arbitrators shall then select the third arbitrator.  If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator, then the AAA shall select the third arbitrator. All arbitrations shall be conducted and resolved on an individual basis and not a class-wide, multiple plaintiff or similar basis. No arbitration shall be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving any other person or entity. The arbitrator(s) shall have no power to award (i) damages inconsistent with these Terms, (ii) punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages or (iii) damages in excess of the limitations set forth in these Terms.

Both of us agree that if we make any amendment to this Dispute Resolution section (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future, that amendment will not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment will apply to all other disputes or claims governed by this section that have arisen or may arise between you and Company. We will notify you of amendments to this section by email. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you may close your Card Account within 30 days and you will not be bound by the amended dispute resolution terms. If you do not have a Card Account (or once you have closed your Card Account, if applicable), you must cease using the Platform immediately. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Company in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted the Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Terms).

Our collection and use of information is governed by our Privacy Policy. By accessing and using the Platform, you consent to the collection and use of this information as set forth in the Privacy Policy. You understand and agree that in connection with the provision of Services, Company will collect information about the Fleet, Active Vehicles and Authorized Users, including location and other vehicle data and that such data may be shared with third parties including fuel merchants. Customer shall make written disclosure to Authorized Users and drivers of Active Vehicles that Customer uses electronic devices to monitor the condition, performance, operation and location of its vehicles as well as transactions made, and that this information is shared with Company and third parties in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

As part of providing you the Platform, we may need to provide you with certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services, which you may not be able to opt-out from receiving.

These Terms, any applicable Car IQ Fleet Master Services Agreement, our Privacy Policy, any applicable Car IQ Vehicle Payment Card Program Agreement and any applicable Supplemental Terms, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Company regarding your access to and use of the Platform and supersede and replace any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements between you and Company and regarding the subject matter hereof.

You may not assign, transfer, delegate or sublicense any of your rights or obligations under the Terms, including by operation of law or merger or consolidation, without our express prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion. Any attempted assignment, transfer, delegation or sublicense by you without the foregoing consent will be null and void. Company may assign, transfer, delegate and/or sublicense our rights and obligations under the Terms, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion, without restriction.

Subject to the foregoing, the Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by the Terms.

Any provisions of the Terms that contemplate performance or observance subsequent to the expiration or termination of these Terms shall survive such expiration or termination.

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to the Terms, will be in writing and given by Company via e-mail (in each case to the address that you provide). The date on which such notice is transmitted will be deemed the date of receipt.

Our failure to exercise any right or enforce any obligation under these Terms or to take action with respect to a breach by you or others will not constitute a waiver of such right, obligation or breach. The waiver of any right, obligation or breach will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Company. In addition, no waiver granted in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance.

Except as expressly set forth in the Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under the Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies available under contract, at law, in equity or otherwise.

Except as otherwise provided in the Terms, if an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Terms to be invalid, void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, for any reason, the offending provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which will remain in full force and effect.

The headings in the Terms are for reference purposes only and do not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (e.g., with respect to the Issuer(s)), the Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto.
