General
The provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Service are independent of each other and
the invalidity of any provision or a portion thereof shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any
particular provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision
shall be deemed to have been replaced with a valid and enforceable provision
that approximates as closely as possible the intent of the user and SlickCar.com as
reflected in the original provision.
Any delay or failure on the part of SlickCar.com to enforce any rights hereunder
to which it may be entitled shall not be construed as a waiver of the right and
privilege to do so at any subsequent time.
The user indemnifies and holds harmless SlickCar.com, and the officers,
directors, employees, partners, principals, agents and representatives of
SlickCar.com, from, against and in respect of any and all demands, claims, actions
or causes of action, liabilities, losses, and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to any breach by the user of any
covenant, representation or warranty made pursuant to these Terms and Conditions of Service.
All provisions which must survive in order to give effect to their meaning,
shall survive any expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions of Service, including
without limitation all of the user's representations, warranties and
indemnification obligations.
The Terms and Conditions of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict of laws
principles. The user and SlickCar.com consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of the state and federal courts located in King County for resolution of
any and all disputes arising out of or related to the Terms and Conditions of Service.
Limitation of Liability
To the full extent permissible under the applicable law, SlickCar.com shall not
be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages
resulting from the use or inability to use the Service.
In no event shall SlickCar.com have any liability for any incidental,
consequential, or indirect damages (including, but not limited to, damages
relating to loss of business, profits, goodwill, data, programs or information,
and the like) arising out of the use of or inability to use the Service or any
information, advice, or services provided on or downloaded from the Service or
accessed on the Internet from the Service, even if advised of the possibility of
such damages and regardless of the cause of action under which such damages are
sought, including, without limitation, breach of contract, negligence or other
tort. Because some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or
the limitation of liability for sequential or incidental damages, the above
exclusions and limitations may not apply to the user. In such states,
SlickCar.com's liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
The Service contains links to third-party World Wide Web sites and other
resources. SlickCar.com assumes no responsibility for the availability or content
of these outside sites and resources. Therefore, any concerns a user may have
regarding any other site should be directed to the relevant site administrator
or Webmaster.
The information, advice, facts, opinions or other content appearing on the
Service posted by Members or third parties are those of the respective authors
and do not reflect the views of SlickCar.com. SlickCar.com assumes no responsibility
or liability for these materials.
Links to Third Party Sites
Any third-party sites to which the Service may link are not under SlickCar.com's
control, and SlickCar.com does not assume any responsibility or liability for any
information, content, communications or materials available on such third-party
sites. Absent express language to the contrary, SlickCar.com does not intend links
contained on the Service to be referrals to, or endorsements of, the linked
third-party sites or the entities that operate them, and such links are provided
for convenience only.
Privacy
SlickCar.com ("SlickCar.com") believes that communities can
only truly be built through interaction and participation among Neighborhood
Members based on trust, privacy and freedom of expression.
SlickCar.com wants all Members to have the freedom to express themselves,
however at the same time, SlickCar.com wants all Members to feel secure.
This Privacy Policy covers SlickCar.com's treatment of personally
identifiable information that SlickCar.com collects when you are on the
SlickCar.com Network suite of sites, and when you use SlickCar.com's services.
This policy also covers SlickCar.com's treatment of any personally
identifiable information that SlickCar.com's business partners share with
SlickCar.com or that SlickCar.com may collect on a partner's site.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that SlickCar.com
does not own or control, or to people that SlickCar.com does not
employ or manage.
- SlickCar.com collects personally identifiable
information when you register for a SlickCar.com membership, when you sign
up for a SlickCar.com Network email newsletter, when you purchase a product or
service from SlickCar.com Network, when you visit the Service, and
when you enter our promotions or sweepstakes. SlickCar.com may also
receive personally identifiable information from our business partners.
- SlickCar.com uses information for three general purposes: to customize
the advertising and content you see, to fulfill your requests for certain
products and services, and to contact you about specials and new products.
- SlickCar.com Network will not sell or rent your personally identifiable
information to anyone.
- SlickCar.com Network may send personally identifiable information about you to
other companies or people when:
- We have your consent to share the information;
- We need to share your information to provide the product or service
you have requested;
- We need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of SlickCar.com
to provide a product or service to you. (Unless we tell you differently,
these companies do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information
we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us.);
- We respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process; or
- We find that your actions on our web sites violate the SlickCar.com Terms
of Service or any of our usage guidelines for specific products or services.
- SlickCar.com requests information from you on our order form when
making purchases. Here you must provide contact information (such as name and
shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill
your order. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is
used to get in touch with you.
- Once you register with SlickCar.com and sign in to the Service, you are
not anonymous to us.
- SlickCar.com also automatically receives and records information on our
server logs from your browser including your IP address, SlickCar.com
cookie information and the page you requested. SlickCar.com uses this data
to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
- From time-to-time the SlickCar.com requests information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include, but not limited to, contact
information (such as name, email) demographic information (such as age, zip code).
- At various times, SlickCar.com may decide to promote a referral service for
informing a friend about the Service. We will ask for a friend's name and email
address. SlickCar.com will automatically send them one (1) one-time email inviting
them to visit the site. The SlickCar.com stores this information for the sole
purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact SlickCar.com to
request removal of their information from the SlickCar.com database.
SlickCar.com makes every effort to ensure that your information is secure on our
system. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any
information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
SlickCar.com
is completely against and actively discourages unsolicited e-mail
("Spam"). Maintaining our email recipients' privacy is one of our main
concerns. We address this by requiring that each email message sent by
our servers include an easy way for the recipients to remove themselves
from the list (opt-out). In the event that a recipient cannot easily
remove him or herself, our customer advocacy staff is available to
remove that person from further email communications.
- Definition of Spam
"Spam",
as used in this policy, means any unsolicited email, generally received
as part of a mass mailing or sent to an inappropriate list. Spam is
also considered to be any promotion, information or solicitation that
is sent to a person via email without his or her prior consent or
permission. Spam is most often an e-mail message sent to a large number
of people without their consent. Also known as Unsolicited Commercial
E-mail (UCE), or junk e-mail, it is usually sent to promote a product
or service.
- Common Forms of Spam
- An
email message sent to a recipient that does not contain a way for the
recipient to opt-out or request that future mailings not be sent to
them.
- Any email message
sent to recipients who have not had any prior association with the
organization, or did not agree to be sent email messages by the
organization or their partners as mentioned in the opt-in/out
information.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once,
thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may
still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited
in some areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the
interests of our Members to enhance the experience on our site. Companies that
advertise on or are business partners with the Service may use their own
cookies. This privacy policy does not cover how these companies use their
cookies. Advertisers and business partners do not have access to the cookies set
by the Service.
