Terms of Use

BY ACCESSING THIS SITE, YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the “Terms and Conditions”).

1. Definitions.
2. “LDV” means LDV, Inc., its employees, officers, directors, and all other persons or entities affiliated with LDV responsible for creating, maintaining, and publishing the Site.
3. “Content” means all information or images contained on the Site, including but not limited to, trademarks, copyrights, advertisements, data, text, graphics, photos, software and video.
4. “Site” means the Internet site located at the URL address www.ldvusa.com
5. “User” means any person or entity that accesses or uses the Site in any manner.
6. This Site is a vehicle listing and information service that brings together buyers and sellers. Except in those cases where LDV is the seller of a listed vehicle, LDV is not a party to any transactions between vehicle buyers and sellers that originate on or through the Site. Information about a particular vehicle is supplied by the seller, not by LDV. The price and other terms of any sale remain subject to direct negotiation between the buyer and the seller. LDV cannot verify the information that other sellers supply or guarantee the vehicles they offer. Nor can LDV assure the seller of a vehicle that the payment he or she receives from the buyer is legitimate. When using this to find a buyer for your vehicle or a vehicle to purchase, we urge you to use the same common sense and good judgment you would use in selling a vehicle through, or responding to, a classified ad in the newspaper.

EXCEPT AS TO SALES OF LDV OWNED VEHICLES AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LDV, INCLUDING ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, DISTRIBUTORS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AGENTS OR OTHERS INVOLVED IN CREATING, SPONSORING, PROMOTING, OR OTHERWISE MAKING AVAILABLE THE SITE AND ITS CONTENTS (COLLECTIVELY THE “COVERED PARTIES”), BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (I) LOSS OF GOODWILL, PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES; (II) YOUR INABILITY TO USE, UNAUTHORIZED USE OF, PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE SITE; (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR TAMPERING WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OR TRANSMISSIONS; (IV) THE PROVISION OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE ANY SERVICE; (V) ERRORS OR INACCURACIES CONTAINED ON THE SITE OR ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND RELATED GRAPHICS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITE; (VI) ANY TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH THIS SITE; (VII) ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE INCLUDING DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER OR COMPUTER SYSTEM CAUSED BY VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, DURING OR ON ACCOUNT OF ACCESS TO OR USE OF THIS SITE OR ANY SITE TO WHICH IT PROVIDES HYPERLINKS; OR (VIII) DAMAGES OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE SITE, ANY DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, OR ANY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITE.

EXCEPTION: If for any reason the law does not allow LDV to limit or exclude liability for these incidental or consequential damages, it is agreed by the user and LDV that LDV's liability to the user for all losses, damages, injuries, and claims of every kind (whether the damages are claimed under the terms of a contract, or they're claimed to be caused by negligence or other wrongful conduct, or they're claimed under any legal theory) will not be greater than the amount the user paid to access the site, either express or implied, including but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, title, noninfringement of intellectual property, security and fitness for a particular purpose.

13. Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted or addressed herein are reserved by LDV.
14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. YOU AND LDV AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES (“Claims”) THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THE TERMS OF THE VISITOR AGREEMENT, THE LDV SITES, OR ANY SERVICE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BILLING DISPUTES) SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury. Instead, Claims are decided by an arbitrator whose authority is created by and governed by this arbitration agreement. Review of arbitration awards in the courts is very limited.
16. CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND LDV AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. WE BOTH AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE NO CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS IN ARBITRATION. In addition, neither you nor LDV may participate in a class or representative action in court as a class member if the claims asserted in the litigation would fall within the scope of this arbitration agreement if asserted directly by you or LDV. To be clear, you and LDV both waive any right to participate in any class action involving disputes between us. This class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration agreement and may not be severed. If for any reason this class action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entire arbitration agreement will not apply. However, the Jury Trial Waiver set forth in Section 9 of the Visitor Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
17. ARBITRATOR AUTHORITY: The arbitrator's authority is governed by this arbitration agreement. You and LDV agree that the arbitrator may award the same relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award – consistent with and limited by the Visitor Agreement (including the limitations of liability set forth in Section 10), but the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief that extends beyond you and your dealings with LDV. An arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party if a court would be authorized to do so under the applicable law.
18. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES: You and LDV agree that your agreement affects interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies. All arbitrations shall be conducted by JAMS Endispute under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS”). These Rules are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.comor by calling 1.800.352.5267. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and this arbitration agreement, then this arbitration agreement shall control. LDV will pay all filing fees and costs associated with commencing an arbitration, but you will be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees (if you chose to use an attorney in arbitration) unless you prevail in the arbitration and the arbitrator finds that you are entitled to recover your fees under the law. If you bring an arbitration against LDV, the arbitration hearing will be held in a mutually convenient location.
19. User’s Consent To Be Legally Bound To Terms and Conditions. In consideration of being allowed to use the Site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions. Use of the Site in any manner shall constitute your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and your assent to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to be legally bound by all the terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions, you are strictly prohibited from accessing and/or using the Site in any manner.
20. Severability. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
