Last revised on: January 25, 2025

1. Application and Acceptance of this Agreement

These Terms of Use (including the binding arbitration provision located here) along with our Privacy Notice, and any additional guidelines, terms, procedures or rules that may apply to a specific feature of the Digital Services (collectively, the “Agreement”) that are owned or operated by Build My Ride, LLC or its affiliates (“we”, “us”, “our” or “BMR”), are a contract in electronic form between you (“you,” “your,” and “yourself”) and BMR. This Agreement applies to the extent you use the Digital Services to (a) act as a “Buyer” submitting bids expressing an intent to purchase vehicles or other products and services listed by Sellers on the Digital Services, (b) act as a “Seller” submitting information in connection with the listing of a vehicle or other product or service on a Digital Service by BMR on your behalf or (c) as a visitor, registrant or user in any other capacity permitted by these terms (together with “Buyers” and “Sellers”, collectively, “Users”). This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms governing your access and use of the Digital Services. This Agreement applies to BMR and its affiliates only and does not cover other companies, including third parties that may advertise or sponsor content, products or services on the Digital Services or any third-party platforms (such as social media platforms or app stores) or other channels that you may use to access the Digital Services or any Content (as defined below).

The Digital Services and Content are for general information, discussion and entertainment purposes only. The term “Content” includes, without limitation, information, data, text, photographs, videos, audio clips, written posts, articles, comments, software, scripts, graphics and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made available through or in connection with the Digital Services. We make no representations or guarantees about any aspect of the Digital Services and Content and do not endorse any opinions expressed by any Users. THE DIGITAL SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PUBLISHED “AS IS” AND YOUR USE OR RELIANCE ON THE DIGITAL SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF USING OR RELYING ON THE DIGITAL SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT.

2. Our Role

The Digital Services include a platform for vehicle listings and information services. We are not the creator or owner of the items posted on the Digital Services by Sellers for Buyers to bid on. Rather, we provide the Digital Services, which enable Users to access certain features and functionalities, including posting vehicles and other products and services, and bidding on such products and services. Sellers are responsible for ensuring that any of their User Content meets all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations, and that any goods (including vehicles) and services promoted, offered or otherwise described on the Digital Services are described in listings, and/or delivered as described, in an accurate satisfactory manner. For any payment processing related to Purchases made on the Digital Services, if the Seller or third party responsible for the applicable vehicle or other good or service selects a payment processing method that uses a third party to process the payment, then we do not process that payment transaction.

As part of the Digital Services, BMR may assist Sellers in the creation of their listings (including the content of such listing) but it remains each Seller’s responsibility to make sure that its listings are accurate.

BMR IS NOT AN AUTOMOBILE BROKER, DEALER OR TRADITIONAL AUCTIONEER AND WE DO NOT SELL, EXCHANGE, BUY, OR OFFER FOR SALE, NEGOTIATE OR ATTEMPT TO NEGOTIATE, A SALE OR EXCHANGE OF AN INTEREST IN ANY VEHICLE LISTED ON THE DIGITAL SERVICES. BMR HAS NEVER: (I) HELD TITLE FOR ANY VEHICLE LISTED ON THE DIGITAL SERVICES, (2) INSPECTED ANY VEHICLE LISTED ON THE DIGITAL SERVICES OR (3) HAD ANY VEHICLES LISTED ON THE DIGITAL SERVICES IN ITS LEGAL POSSESSION.

3. Privacy Notice

In connection with your access to or use of the Digital Services, we may obtain information from you directly or about you through the Digital Services. We will use your information in accordance with our Privacy Notice, which describes our privacy practices as well as choices you may have with respect to the collection and processing of some of your information. Please take a moment to review our Privacy Notice. The Privacy Notice is incorporated into this Agreement and forms part of the Agreement.

4. Accuracy of Your Information & Communication Methods

The information you submit to us through the Digital Services, including as part of your account creation, registration or membership, or for any listings, must be truthful, accurate and current. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of such information. If we believe that your information is not truthful, accurate or current, we have the right to terminate, suspend or refuse you access to the Digital Services.

We may send you information relating to your use of the Digital Services (e.g., payment authorizations, invoices, changes in password or payment method, confirmation messages, notices) in electronic form only, for example via emails to your email address provided during registration, if applicable. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.

If you are not of an age old enough to enter into contracts in your state (i.e., a minor), you need to review this Agreement with your parent or guardian before using the Digital Services; if your parent or guardian does not agree with the Agreement as applied to you, then you are not authorized to access or use the Digital Services.

You agree to immediately notify BMR of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Credentials or any other breach of security. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorized use of your Credentials or for your failure to follow the requirements set out in this Agreement.

(b) BMR may in its sole discretion maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users. If you open an account to use or Access the Digital Services on behalf of a company, organization or other entity, then (i) “you” includes you and that entity, and (ii) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to the Agreement and that you agree to the Agreement on the entity’s behalf.

8. User Content

“User Content” means any and all information and content that a User submits to, or uses with, the Digital Services (e.g., photos, audio, video, messages, text, files, or other content you provide us, including any listings that appear on the Digital Services (regardless of any role that BMR has in the listing)). You are solely responsible for your User Content. User Content may include unsolicited or invited submissions. You assume all risks associated with use of your User Content, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness or usefulness by others, or any disclosure of your User Content that makes you or any third party personally identifiable. You may not state or imply that your User Content is in any way provided, sponsored or endorsed by BMR. Because you alone are responsible for your User Content (including backing up your data), you may expose yourself to liability. Under no circumstance will BMR be liable for any inaccuracy or defect in any User Content.

You hereby grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to BMR an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free and fully paid, worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and perform, prepare derivative works of, incorporate into other works, and otherwise use your User Content, and to grant sublicenses of the foregoing, for any lawful purpose. You agree to irrevocably waive (and cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Content.

Because we do not control User Content, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any User Content and we make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content, and we assume no responsibility for any User Content. Your interactions with other Users of the Digital Services are solely between you and such User. You agree that BMR will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between you and any User of the Digital Services, we are under no obligation to become involved. We are not a party to any vehicle sale contract between any Buyer and Seller that originates on or through the Digital Services and you are solely responsible for any of your interactions with other Users (including transacting for a Purchase involving a vehicle). Additionally, you acknowledge that other Users may post comments about your User Content which may be derogatory, and BMR has no obligation to monitor or delete any such User Content. BMR may remove or modify any User Content without notice or liability at any time in BMR’s sole discretion. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. BMR shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any User’s action or inaction.

9. User Submissions

Unsolicited Submissions

You agree that we may use information/User Content you provide us through emails, Q&A, blogs, forums, polls, or through any other User generated submission, and may use your name and any stories you provide us in articles or other features published on the Digital Services or in our publications, advertising or sponsored content. If you provide us with personal anecdotes, they may be attributed to you. BMR can edit, rewrite, use, and reuse the User Content, including your name, likeness, photograph, and biographical information you provide, with or without attribution, including publication in the Digital Services or our publications, advertising or sponsored content.

Invited Submissions

From time to time, the Digital Services may expressly request submissions of concepts, stories, or other potential content from you (“Invited Submissions”). Please carefully read any specific rules or other terms and conditions that appear in connection with such Invited Submissions as such terms and conditions will govern the submissions and may affect your legal rights. If no such additional terms govern those submissions, then this Agreement will apply in full to any Invited Submissions you make. IN ANY EVENT, ANY MATERIAL YOU SEND TO US WILL NOT BE TREATED AS CONFIDENTIAL. Regardless of any industry custom or practice, we will not pay you for the use of any content that you submit to through the Digital Services.

10. Enforcement

If we become aware of a User’s violation of this Agreement, including the rights of any other User or third party, we may take certain remedial steps, including refusing access to the Digital Services to any person or entity and change eligibility requirements at any time.

If we become aware that any of our Users has repeatedly infringed the proprietary rights of any third party, we may take steps to terminate that User’s access to the Digital Services. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review information we obtain from or about you and your use of the Digital Services, to investigate, and/or to take appropriate action against you in our sole discretion. Such acts may include removing or modifying your User Content, terminating your access to the Digital Services (including any User account, registration or membership), legal action and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities. If BMR elects to modify User Content, BMR nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the User Content.

BMR reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this Agreement, including without limitation, any violation arising from any information obtained about you (including unsolicited or invited submissions), postings or emails you make on or send through the Digital Services. BMR may seek to gather information from the User who is suspected of violating this Agreement and from any other User. BMR may suspend any Users whose conduct or postings are under investigation and may remove such material from its servers as it deems appropriate and without notice. If BMR believes, in its sole discretion, that a violation of this Agreement has occurred, it may edit or modify any submission, posting or emails, remove the material permanently, cancel postings, warn Users, suspend Users and passwords, terminate accounts, or take other corrective action it deems appropriate. BMR may cooperate with law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing BMR to disclose the identity of anyone posting any emails or publishing or otherwise making available any materials that are believed to violate this Agreement. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS BMR (AND ITS AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, PARTNERS AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE CO-BRANDERS, LICENSORS, PAYMENT PROCESSING PARTNERS, OTHER PARTNERS AND OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS) FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY BMR (AND ITS AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, PARTNERS AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE CO-BRANDERS, LICENSORS, PAYMENT PROCESSING PARTNERS, OTHER PARTNERS AND OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS) DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND/OR FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUNCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER BMR OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

13. Fees, Purchases and Referrals

(a) Payment of Fees.

You agree to pay any applicable fees, including Buyer’s fees, Seller listing fees, or other fees set forth on our website in connection with bids or for any purchases you make of any products, features and/or services (“Purchases”), listed on the Digital Services, including, without limitation, any applicable sales, uses or similar taxes or charges. Certain products, fee-based services or features that you purchase, access or download via the Digital Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions presented to you at the time of purchase, access or download.

All payments made by you to BMR shall be facilitated through Stripe, Inc, BMR’s third party payment processing service. Stripe’s terms of service can be found at https://stripe.com/us/terms. All information that you provide in connection with a Purchase must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by any users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a Purchase on the Digital Services at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You also agree to pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any Purchase.

Prices listed for vehicles or any other products or services listed by Sellers on the Digital Services are set by the Sellers and BMR is not responsible for setting or negotiating any prices or related fees. Listed prices set by the Sellers on the Digital Services may exclude government fees and taxes, registration and titling fees, regulatory and electronic processing charges, inspection charges, emission testing charges, and any other fees required by law. A Seller may add any or all of the foregoing or any other taxes and fees to the listed price when calculating the final sale price to charge a Buyer.

All amounts listed on the Digital Services are in U.S. dollars.

(b) No Refunds.

All Purchases made from a Seller using the Digital Service are between the applicable Buyer and Seller; for that reason, in the event you seek a refund related to a Purchase or have any questions, you must directly contact the applicable Seller.

(c) Bidding and Auction.

(i) Reserve and Publication
In order to use the Digital Services to list a vehicle or other product, a Seller may indicate whether there is a minimum price at which the Seller is willing to consider a sale to a Buyer (the “Reserve”) or whether no such minimum bid is required (“No Reserve”). A Seller may reduce or waive a Reserve during the auction by notifying BMR of such change via email or, if available, BMR’s web-based notification tools made available to Seller. BMR will only approve a listing for publication on the Digital Services once a Seller has either selected a Reserve or selected “No Reserve” for the applicable listing.

(ii) Seller Acknowledgment

If you or any other User submits a vehicle or other product or service to sell on the Digital Services, and we accept such vehicle, product or service, then you, or such other User, are considered a “Seller” on the Digital Services. You are responsible in all respects for the User Content and any other information related to any vehicle, product or service you decide to sell. You are also fully responsible in all respects for consummating the transaction with the applicable Buyer in accordance with the Agreement.

IN THE EVENT A USER ACCESSES OR USES THE DIGITAL SERVICES TO SELL A VEHICLE OR OTHER PRODUCT OR SERVICE AS A “SELLER,” ANY SUCH USER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT FOLLOWING PUBLICATION AND FOR THE PERIOD THAT SUCH SELLER’S LISTING IS MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE DIGITAL SERVICES, SUCH SELLER MAY NOT LIST, POST OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE THE APPLICABLE VEHICLE OR OTHER PRODUCT OR SERVICE ON ANY OTHER AUCTION, DEALERSHIP, OR LISTING SERVICE. FURTHERMORE, EACH SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT AT ANY TIME FOLLOWING PUBLICATION, SELLER’S LISTING MAY BE REMOVED BY BMR (IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION).

(iii) Buyer Acknowledgment

Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Buyer fees associated with each bid submitted via the Digital Services are binding and thus due and payable to BMR in accordance with the Agreement, and (ii) Buyer is responsible for all applicable government fees and taxes for applicable vehicles listed via the Digital Services . If you decide to bid on a vehicle that has been listed by a Seller on the Digital Services, you acknowledge and agree that your bid constitutes the first non-binding step in expressing your interest to a Seller in the listed vehicle and does not in and of itself create a formal contract between you as the Buyer and such Seller. It is the responsibility of a Buyer and Seller, respectively, to negotiate the terms of a binding transaction and enter into a formal contract. This contracting is outside of the scope of this Agreement and the Digital Services, neither of which bind the parties to each other. Buyer’s responsibility for any shipping or delivery fees shall be set forth in the formal agreement between the applicable Seller and Buyer.

We do not inspect any vehicles or any other goods that a Seller lists on the Digital Services. You acknowledge and agree that BMR bears no risk associated with purchasing a vehicle from a Seller listed via the Digital Services..

14. Release

If you have a dispute with one or more Users of the Digital Services (including merchants) or any other third parties, you release BMR (and its affiliates, service providers, partners, and its and their respective co-branders, licensors, payment processing partners, other partners and officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents) from claims, demands, liabilities, costs, or expenses and damages (actual and consequential of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes). In entering into this release, you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) to the extent permitted by applicable law that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

15. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold BMR (and its affiliates, service providers, partners, and its and their respective co-branders, licensors, payment processing partners, other partners and officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents) harmless from any and all damage (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise), loss, liability, cost and expenses (including, without limitation, costs and reasonable attorneys’ and accounting fees) resulting from any claim, demand, suit, proceeding (whether before an arbitrator, court, mediator or otherwise) or investigation made by any User or third party (each, a “Claim”) due to or arising out of (a) your use of the Digital Services or Content, (b) information you provide or we obtain about you and your use of the Digital Services, (c) your violation of this Agreement; (d) your violation of applicable laws or regulations or (e) the actions or inactions of any third party to whom you grant permission to use your user account to access the Digital Services (including the sharing of your Credentials).

24. Dispute Resolution (Arbitration Clause and Class Action Waiver)

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

24.1 Except for either party’s claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret, any and all disputes between you and BMR arising under or related in any way to this Agreement, must be resolved through binding arbitration as described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. It includes, but is not limited to, all claims and disputes relating to your use of any of the Digital Services.

24.2 YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND BMR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND BMR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

24.3 The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this section. For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, the AAA, you and BMR must abide by the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions; and (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. If the claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules. The arbitrator’s ruling is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event this agreement to arbitrate is held unenforceable by a court, then the disputes that would otherwise have been arbitrated shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California. Claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall be exclusively brought in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California.

25. No Waiver

No failure or delay by BMR in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege under this Agreement.

26. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed solely and exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA without giving effect to any law that would result in the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

In accordance with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 USC sec. 512, our Digital Services have designated an agent to receive notices of claims of copyright infringement: Copyright Agent, support@buildmyride.com.

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
  • A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

We may give notice to our Users that we have received a notice of infringement by means of a general notice on our site, electronic mail to a User’s e-mail address in our records, or by written communication sent by first-class mail to a User’s physical address in our records. If you receive such a notice, you may provide counter-notification in writing to the designated agent that includes the information below. To be effective, the counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature;
    Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
  • A statement from you under the penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
  • Your name, physical address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your physical address is located, or if your physical address is outside of the United States, for the judicial district in which our offices are located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of allegedly infringing material or an agent of such person.
