You will provide all required information for each such Active Tolling Vehicle on the Console, including, without limitation, license plate number, vehicle identification number, year, make and model of the Active Tolling Vehicle, and the physical address where the Active Tolling Vehicle is based.
You are responsible at all times for ensuring all information provided remains accurate and complete as long as such Active Tolling Vehicle is enrolled in the Tolling Services. In the event we notify you that we require additional information regarding an Active Tolling Vehicle or Authorized Users, you will promptly provide that information to us. You hereby acknowledge that the Tolling Services for an applicable Active Tolling Vehicle or Authorized User may not commence or may be suspended until you provide such information.
Car IQ will ensure all Active Tolling Vehicles are properly registered with Toll Authorities with an associated account for which the Tolling Authority can assess Tolls. You give Car IQ and the Tolling Service Provider the right to communicate with all Toll Authorities as designated agent for you regarding the processing of Tolls and Toll Events and any other aspect of the Tolling Services. In the event that the Toll Authority requires written authorization from you naming Car IQ and/or a Tolling Service Provider designated by Car IQ as designated agent, you will provide such a permission letter within no more than three (3) business days after written request.
Car IQ will confirm that an Active Tolling Vehicle’s license plate and vehicle information matches the information captured by a Toll Authority at a Toll Event, and upon confirmation, pay for all Tolls and Penalties incurred on an Enrolled Toll Road by an Active Tolling Vehicle. Upon receiving such payment, the Toll Authority will close the transaction and take no further action against you.

Unless you provide notice to Car IQ to deactivate services for specifically identified Active Tolling Vehicles, you will pay all Tolling Fees and Expenses and any other expenses incurred from such Active Vehicles and any associated Transponders.
Car IQ will refund any applicable Tolling Fees and Expenses to you if you provide evidence (toll receipts, hotel receipts, gas receipts etc.) that show the Active Tolling Vehicle was not in the area of the Tolls that were charged to such Active Tolling Vehicle. You will cooperate with Car IQ to correct any incorrect vehicle information or assignment of Transponders that may have causes such improper charges.
Based on the location of a given Active Tolling Vehicle, you may require a Transponder based on the applicable rules of the relevant Tolling Authorities in proximity to such location, subject to all applicable Tolling Fees and Expenses associated with the shipping and use of such Transponder. If a Transponder is required, Car IQ will assign a Transponder to the license plate associated with such Active Tolling Vehicle and ship such Transponder to the applicable address that you provide in connection with such Active Tolling Vehicle.
Transponders will include labels with key information about the Active Tolling Vehicle and a unique Transponder identification number, check digit and corresponding bar code, and where applicable, you will also receive adhesive strips, suction cups or similar products to affix the Transponders to your Active Tolling Vehicle (“Affixing Products”).
You will be responsible for the installation of Transponders into Active Tolling Vehicles. Upon delivery, you will assume responsibility for all Transponders and Affixing Products. You are responsible for all Tolling Fees and Expenses incurred by the Transponders until such Transponders are returned to an address designated by Car IQ using a trackable package delivery service.
You will not obtain any title or ownership of the Transponders. All Transponders that Car IQ provides to you will be returned at your sole cost and expense upon the removal of any Active Tolling Vehicle from the Tolling Services.
You will immediately report to Car IQ any lost or stolen Transponders. Car IQ will cause the de-activation of lost or stolen Transponders after receipt of notice from you in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Toll Authority. Car IQ will invoice you for each lost, damaged, or stolen Transponder as provided for in the Tolling Fee Schedule.
