User Agreement

We own the Site and the services available to Users through the Site (the "Services") are provided under the Terms and Conditions of this User Agreement ("Agreement").

Registration: To use the Site and the Services, you must complete a registration form on behalf of yourself or the company that will use the Services (the "User"). By submitting the registration form, you represent and warrant (a) that you are authorized to sign for and bind the User, and (b) that the User's business is authorized to operate as identified on the registration form. User shall provide current, complete and accurate information on the registration form and otherwise to us and shall update the information as required to keep it current, complete and accurate. If the User is a company or other entity, the representative of the company or other entity who will be the primary contact as between the company or entity and us (the "Primary Contact") must inform us of those individuals ("Authorized Representatives") who, in addition to the Primary Contact, are authorized to act for the company or other entity with respect to transactions and communications with us or through the Site. A User may communicate through and use the Site only through a Primary Contact or an Authorized Representative. A User will be bound by the actions of the Primary Contact or Authorized Representative until we are notified of any change in such Primary Contact or Authorized Representative.

The Site allows you the opportunity to correct or update your information and change or add Authorized Representatives. We may reject an applicant if we determine (in our sole discretion) that the User is not an appropriate User or is not making, nor has in the past made, proper use of the Services or the Site. We need not provide a reason for our rejection.

The term "Services" refers to any or all of the following services provided by us, our agents or our contractors: 1) authorizing access to and use of our Site, including passwords or other secure sections of the Site, 2) making available our facilities to deliver and process Request For Quotes (RFQs) and online auctions, 3) processing and making available to Suppliers RFQ's and online auctions, and 4) processing quotes and bids from Suppliers within certain categories and communicating the same to Buyers.

Modification of Agreement: We may modify this Agreement as we believe necessary. We will post substantial changes to the Agreement on the Site. If the modifications are unacceptable to User, then User may terminate this Agreement by giving notice of termination via e-mail to [email protected]. If User continues to use the Services (by initiating new RFQs, by responding to RFQs or by otherwise continuing to use the Services), then User will be considered to have accepted and agreed to the modifications.

Services: Upon acceptance of User's application for registration, we shall provide the Services subject to the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.

We shall expedite the RFQ and auction processes between Buyers and Suppliers developed the Site. The term "Buyer" refers to a business or individual in search of quotes for new or used parts, vehicles, or other transportation industry goods and/or services that may be accessible now or in the future through us, such as financial and/or insurance services. The term "Supplier" refers to a business or individual wishing to provide quotes or prices for items requested in RFQs by a Buyer.

Scope: Except as described in the Availability Section (next paragraph), we have no further responsibility after processing User's quotes or RFQs. In matching Buyers with Suppliers, we will use reasonable efforts to match a Buyer's needs with a Supplier's services, but will not guarantee that any contact provided will be best suited for any party or transaction. Our sole responsibility is to process RFQs and auctions, provide responses to RFQs and bids, make information available, and attempt to match Buyers with Suppliers.

Availability: The availability of the Services and the Site depends on many factors, including a User's connection to the Internet, the availability of the Internet, and the Internet backbone and equipment that, by its nature, is not fault tolerant. Although we will attempt to maintain the availability of the Site at all times, other than scheduled or emergency maintenance, we expressly disclaim any guarantee of availability.

Binding Agreements: Use of the Services available on this Site can result in the formation of legally binding contracts between and among Buyers and Suppliers and others in various jurisdictions. The laws of those jurisdictions will apply as to the ability of individuals to enter into such contracts.

Buyer Pricing: By acceptance of the Supplier's quote and submission of a purchase order, the Buyer agrees to pay the Supplier for the services as set forth herein or by separate contractual agreement.

Supplier Pricing: We charge a monthly subscription fee to Suppliers.

Involvement: This Site is intended to help independent parties communicate with each other. We are not involved in any transactions between a Buyer and a Supplier. Therefore, we do not take any responsibility for and make no representations or warranties regarding, and disclaim any and all liability for: (a) the quality, safety or legality of any advertised items in any jurisdiction; (b) the truth and/or accuracy of any listing; or (c) the rights or authority of any Supplier to offer for sale or complete the sale of any listed item or the rights or authority of any Buyer to complete the purchase of any item.

In the event that a dispute arises between or among one or more Users (including but not limited to a Buyer and a Supplier), User hereby releases us, our agents, employees, officers, directors, and contractors from any and all claims, demands and damages arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with such dispute in all jurisdictions.

We cannot and do not take any responsibility for User's infringement of or damage to third party intellectual property. However, should User became aware of any infringing or damaging use of such property, either User's own or a third party's, User must report such use to us. We will take whatever action we deem appropriate, possibly including legal action.

Supplier's Minimum Warranty: As a condition of registration, Supplier agrees to provide, to the original purchaser of the part, a minimum 30-day warranty. If any defect is discovered during the warranty period, Supplier must be informed immediately. All claims must be accompanied by the part and the original sales invoice. Transportation cost of any part to the Supplier is specifically excluded from this warranty, unless otherwise agreed. Supplier reserves the right to repair, replace or refund the purchase price of any part at its option.

Communications to the Company: We welcome User feedback, comments and questions. Users should keep in mind, however, that any ideas or suggestions submitted by Users would be treated as public and non-proprietary material.

Passwords and Security: User is responsible for and shall at all times maintain the confidentiality of its user names and passwords. Users may not permit use of the Services by a third party, and such action would be a violation of this Agreement. If User is a company or other entity, only a Primary Contact or an Authorized Representative may represent User and User is responsible for ensuring that its Primary Contact and Authorized Representatives maintain the confidentiality of User names and passwords and otherwise complies with this Agreement. If there is a breach of security through User's account, User must immediately notify our customer service department and change User's password. User will be liable for any unauthorized use of the Site or the Services.
