6. Fees

 

An auction bid or offer initiates a non-binding transaction representing a buyer's serious expression of interest in buying the seller's item and does not create a formal contract between the buyer and the seller. The fees we charge the buyer for using our Services are shown in the Company site which is based on a percentage of the winning bid amount. We may change our buyer fees from time to time by posting the changes on the Company site.

 

If you are a seller, you are responsible for a listing fee at the time a vehicle is listed on the Company site. The amount of the listing fee is posted on the Company site. If you as a seller offers or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of Company, you may be liable to pay the buyer fee applicable to that item, even if the item doesn't sell, given your usage of Company Services for the introduction to a buyer. If you are a seller, you shall not charge the buyer additional fees over and above the bid price such as “dealer fees”, “document fees”, etc. The bid price is the final price of the item to be paid to the seller. You must have a payment method on file when buying or selling through Company and pay all fees and applicable taxes associated with our Services.  

All information that you provide in connection with a monetary transaction interaction with the Service must be accurate, complete, and current.

If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect amounts owed by charging other payment methods on file with us, retain collection agencies and legal counsel. In addition, you may be subject to late fees. Company, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your account to credit bureaus, and as a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. If you wish to dispute the information Company reported to a credit bureau (i.e., Experian, Equifax or TransUnion) please contact us at (480)845-6600.

Seller fees don't purchase exclusive rights to item exposure on the Company’s website, whether on a web page, mobile app, or otherwise. We may, in our sole discretion and without consent from, or payment, fee reduction, or other credit to, sellers, display third-party advertisements (including links and references thereto) or other Content in any part of our Services.

You may cancel your Company account at any time; however, there are no refunds for or in connection with cancellation; provided, that Seller’s fees may be refundable solely prior to a Seller’s listing being assembled.

16. Legal Disputes

 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND THE COLLECTOR CAR NETWORK, LLC AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. 

You and The Collector Car Network, LLC agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen, or may arise, between you and The Collector Car Network, LLC (including any claim or dispute between you and a third-party agent of The Collector Car Network, LLC) that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of this User Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of The Collector Car Network, LLC or its agents, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Legal Disputes Section.

 

Applicable Law

You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this User Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and The Collector Car Network, LLC, except as otherwise stated in this User Agreement.

 

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and The Collector Car Network, LLC each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen, or may arise, between you and The Collector Car Network, LLC (including any disputes or claims between you and a third-party agent of The Collector Car Network, LLC) that relate in any way to or arise out of this or previous versions of the User Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of The Collector Car Network, LLC or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through the Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

 

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND THE COLLECTOR CAR NETWORK, LLC AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE COLLECTOR CAR NETWORK, LLC AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, subject to your and The Collector Car Network, LLCs’ right to appeal the court's decision. All other claims will be arbitrated.

 

Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of the User Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief"), shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The use of the word "arbitrator" in this provision shall not be construed to prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over an arbitration; rather, the AAA's rules will govern the number of arbitrators that may preside over an arbitration conducted under this Agreement to Arbitrate.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a notice of the dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to The Collector Car Network, LLC should be sent to 1345 East Chandler Blvd Ste 101, Phoenix, AZ 85048 and by email to [email protected]. The Collector Car Network, LLC will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your Collector Car Network, LLC account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided, including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought. If you and The Collector Car Network, LLC are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or Collector Car Network, LLC may initiate arbitration proceedings.

A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to The Collector Car Network, LLC at the following address: 1345 East Chandler Blvd Ste 101, Phoenix, AZ 85048 and by email to [email protected].

Any settlement offer made by you or The Collector Car Network, LLC shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. The arbitration hearing shall be held in Maricopa County, Arizona or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Collector Car Network, LLC user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

Costs of Arbitration

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If (a) you willfully fail to comply with the Notice of Dispute requirement discussed above, or (b) in the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse The Collector Car Network, LLC for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by The Collector Car Network, LLC on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
