DealersGear Terms and Conditions

This document sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which DealersGear ("we," "our"  or "DealersGear.com") provides advertising, marketing and other products and services to  dealerships, and is referred to below as this "Agreement." When a dealership (referred to below  as "you," "your" or "Dealership") submits to DealersGear any order form, or an on-line sign-up  form, for advertising, marketing or other products and/or services and we accept it (an "Order  Form"), this Agreement will govern the provision by DealersGear of the products and/or  services specified in that Order Form. 
 
Order Forms: The specific advertising, marketing or other products and/or services to be  provided by DealersGear (collectively, the "Services"), and the fees for the Services (the "Fees"),  are set forth in one or more Order Forms, and this Agreement is incorporated into and made a  part of each Order Form. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and  the terms of an Order Form, the terms of that Order Form will control. Hand-written  modifications to an Order Form will not be effective or binding on DealersGear unless initialed  or otherwise approved in writing by legal counsel for DealersGear. From time to time,  DealersGear may elect to reflect in the form of an email or other electronic communication to  Dealership (i) the Services that we will be providing, and/or (ii) Dealership's request for a  modification of the terms of an Order Form (including a modification to the Fees for a Service).  Upon the acknowledgement of, or consent by, Dealership to the provision of those Services, or  to such modification, that electronic communication will be deemed an "Order Form" (or a  modification to a prior Order Form) for purposes of this Agreement. 
 
Payment Terms: Dealership agrees to pay the Fees to DealersGear on or before the date such  Fees are due. For billing purposes only, Fees payable under each Order Form may be treated by  DealersGear as independent of each other. DealersGear may change the Fees for any Service at  any time on not less than 30 days' prior notice to Dealership.   
 
Term and Termination of Order Forms: The term of each Order Form will commence on the  actual launch date for the Services specified in that Order Form, and will continue until  terminated by one of the parties. If, after an Order Form is accepted by DealersGear, the launch  date does not occur within a reasonable time, we may withdraw that acceptance and cancel that  Order Form. Should either party choose to terminate the term of an Order Form or any Service  specified in an Order Form, such party may do so by giving not less than 30 days' prior notice to  the other party in the manner set forth in Section 12(unless otherwise noted in the Order Form).  In addition, DealersGear has the right to terminate the term of an Order Form (or, at our  election, suspend rendering any or all of the Services specified in that Order Form) immediately  in the event: (i) you fail to pay any Fees when due, (ii) you otherwise breach any provision of  this Agreement, that Order Form or any document referred to in that Order Form, (iii) any of  the Services specified in that Order Form are deemed by DealersGear or alleged or determined  by any governmental authority to violate any law, rule or regulation, or (iv) DealersGear  determines in the exercise of its reasonable discretion that you have abused any of the Services specified in that Order Form. In the event of termination of an Order Form by either party, all  Fees owed under that Order Form will become immediately due and payable. Since  DealersGear offers many of the Services as a "package" of services, if either party terminates the  term of any Order Form or any Service specified in an Order Form, other than in connection  with your termination of all Services, you may not be entitled to any reduction in the total  amount of the Fees.    Since this Agreement covers all Order Forms, and contains provisions that are intended by the  parties to survive the termination of all Order Forms, any provisions of this Agreement that by  their nature ought to survive the Order Forms will continue in full force and effect and will not  be subject to termination by the parties, even if an Order Form is terminated or if this  Agreement is terminated or purported to be terminated. 
 
Dealer-Supplied Information: You acknowledge and agree that (i) you are responsible for  the accuracy, completeness, clarity, applicability, compliance with law, rule and regulation, and  non-violation of any third party rights (collectively "Compliance") of all vehicle, dealership and  other information, and/or creative content or components thereof, provided or made available  to DealersGear (by you, your agents and/or third-party service providers) for use by  DealersGear in connection with the advertising and promotion of you or your vehicles,  including any disclaimers, conditions or other consumer disclosures to be displayed in such  advertising and promotions (collectively, your "Information"), and (ii) you are responsible for  updating in a timely manner any of your Information that ceases to be in Compliance. In  addition, you acknowledge and agree that (a) DealersGear does not have the ability or  obligation to determine the Compliance of your Information and, accordingly, you will bear the  consequences to the extent that any of your Information is not in Compliance, and (b)  DealersGear does not have the ability or obligation to determine whether the photos provided  or made available for a particular vehicle you offer for sale are of that vehicle or are "stock"  photos and, therefore, does not label as "stock" in any vehicle advertisement any of the photos  provided or made available to DealersGear; and, accordingly, you will bear the consequences to  the extent that any of such photos are not in Compliance. In some states, the advertised price for a vehicle is required to include any dealer  document/processing/vehicle preparation fee or similar charge. You are responsible for  assuring that the advertised price you provide to DealersGear for display includes all such  charges.     Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that (i) DealersGear may obtain your inventory  listings and related inventory data from you, your agents and/or your third-party service  providers, including your "Dealership System" (as defined in Section 5) and (ii) DealersGear  may use and provide such data to the persons and entities that assist us in providing the  Services, including in connection with advertising and marketing services provided on behalf of  DealersGear on third-party properties (for example, Facebook), and to other "Service Providers"  (as defined in Section 5). 
 
Sharing of Data and Information: DealersGear may, in the course of performing the Services,  obtain data relating to you and your business. You agree that (i) DealersGear may use and  provide such data to our Service Providers, and (ii) DealersGear may provide such data  (excluding, however, any such data that is generally regarded as "personally identifiable information") to other third parties in the conduct of our business.    If one of your stores holds a franchise to sell new vehicles, DealersGear may share data and  information it obtains from you, as well as any other information concerning your websites or  customers that DealersGear may have or obtain — with the manufacturer or distributor who  granted you that franchise and with any of their affiliates and their respective agents and  third-party service providers. In addition, if you engage or have engaged a third party to  operate or manage any of your websites, DealersGear may share any such data and information  with that third party and, at Dealership's request, with other third parties engaged by  Dealership. You consent to the sharing of data and information as set forth in this Section.
 
Consent to Recording of Calls: From time to time DealersGear may engage Service Providers  to provide a toll-free number that DealersGear may display for purposes of inducing calls to  you. These Service Providers may, at DealersGear direction and for its benefit, track and make a  recording of those calls. Those recordings may be used for quality assurance, training and  related purposes. When recording of such a call is activated, each caller to you will be notified  of the fact that recording is occurring (unless you expressly request that these Service Providers  not include such a notification, in which case you agree to yourself provide that notification). In  addition, from time to time, DealersGear may arrange for the recording of calls made by you to  our staff, or by our staff to your personnel, also to be used for quality assurance, training and  related purposes. When recording of such a call is activated for calls to DealersGear, each caller  to DealersGear will be notified of the fact that recording is occurring. However, for calls made  by DealersGear to your personnel, we will be relying on your notice to your personnel as  provided in the following paragraph.    You agree that (i) you will provide written notice to all "Call Handlers" (that is, all employees or  agents who work for you and who may make such recorded calls, or who may receive and  answer such recorded calls) that calls from DealersGear may be monitored and recorded and  may be stored and disclosed to third parties, (ii) you will obtain the prior, express written  consent of all Call Handlers to such recording before they are allowed to answer such recorded  calls, and (iii) you will be solely responsible for providing and maintaining such notices and  consents. 
 
DealersGear Products: If we list your vehicles on Facebook Marketplace, you agree to, and  will comply with, the Facebook Commerce Product Merchant Agreement (currently available at  www.facebook.com/legal/commerce_product_merchant_agreement).     The Marketplace Posting service, together with certain other products and services, generate  vehicle "Leads" (that is, expressions of interest by a consumer in a specific vehicle identified by  year/make/model or by vehicle identification number that are submitted to you. DealersGear is  not obligated to provide you with a minimum number of Leads. DealersGear does not  guarantee any sales as a result of your use of the DealersGear products and your obligation to  pay the Fees is unconditional and not dependent on any such sales. You agree not to resell or  otherwise transfer to another dealership or any other person or entity any Leads (or any data  included in any Leads) delivered to you by DealersGear products. 
 
Dealership License: Dealership hereby grants to DealersGear a non-exclusive, worldwide,  royalty-free license to use, copy, encode, store, archive, distribute, transmit and publicly display  Dealership logos, marks, trademarks and/or other Dealership intellectual property (the  "Marks") provided to and used by DealersGear in performing the Services. DealersGear is  further granted the right to sub-license the Marks to its Service Providers. Such right to use the  Marks will be limited to those uses reasonably required to perform the Services. Dealership  further grants DealersGear all additional rights and licenses (and the right to sub-license such  rights and licenses) reasonably required to perform the Services.   
 
Warranties/ Limitation of Liability/Indemnification: You represent and warrant that you  have all licenses required by applicable laws, rules and regulations to operate your automobile  dealership, and possess the required franchise(s) to represent the new vehicle brands you sell,  and that you are, and will remain, in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations  in your regular business and the use of the Services.
