Terms & Conditions

Please Read The Following Paragraphs Carefully Because They Require You To Arbitrate Disputes With Vehicle Databases And Limit The Manner In Which You Can Seek Relief From Vehicle Databases.

In The Event Of Any Controversy Or Claim Arising Out Of Or Relating In Any Way To These Terms And Conditions Or The Service, You And Vehicledatabases Agree To Consult And Negotiate With Each Other And, Recognizing Your Mutual Interests, Try To Reach A Solution Satisfactory To Both Parties. If We Do Not Reach Settlement Within A Period Of 60 Days, Then Either Of Us May, By Notice To The Other, Demand Mediation Under The Mediation Rules Of The Canadian Arbitration Association In North York, Ontario. We Both Give Up Our Right To Litigate Our Disputes And May Not Proceed To Arbitration Without First Trying Mediation, But You And Vehicle Databases Are Not Required To Arbitrate Any Dispute In Which Either Party Seeks Equitable And Other Relief From The Alleged Unlawful Use Of Copyrights, Trademarks, Trade Names, Logos, Trade Secrets Or Patents. Except As Otherwise Required Under Applicable Law, You And Vehicledatabases Intend And Agree: (A) Not To Assert Class Action Or Representative Action Procedures And Agree That They Will Not Apply In Any Arbitration Involving The Other; (B) Not To Assert Class Action Or Representative Action Claims Against The Other In Arbitration Or Otherwise; And (C) Will Only Submit Individual Claims In Arbitration And Will Not Seek To Represent The Interests Of Any Other Person Or Entity.

If Settlement Is Not Reached Within 60 Days After Service Of A Written Demand For Mediation, Any Unresolved Controversy Or Claim Will Be Resolved By Arbitration In Accordance With The Rules Of The Canadian Arbitration Association Before A Single Arbitrator In North York, Ontario. The Language Of All Proceedings And Filings Will Be English. The Arbitrator Will Render A Written Opinion Including Findings Of Fact And Law And The Award And/or Determination Of The Arbitrator Will Be Binding On The Parties, And Their Respective Administrators And Assigns, And Will Not Be Subject To Appeal. Judgment May Be Entered Upon The Award Of The Arbitrator In Any Court Of Competent Jurisdiction. The Expenses Of The Arbitration Will Be Shared Equally By The Parties Unless The Arbitration Determines That The Expenses Will Be Otherwise Assessed And The Prevailing Party May Be Awarded Its Attorneys’ Fees And Expenses By The Arbitrator. It Is The Intent Of The Parties That, Barring Extraordinary Circumstances, Arbitration Proceedings Will Be Concluded Within 90 Days From The Date The Arbitrator Is Appointed. The Arbitrator May Extend This Time Limit Only If Failure To Do So Would Unduly Prejudice The Rights Of The Parties. Failure To Adhere To This Time Limit Will Not Constitute A Basis For Challenging The Award. Consistent With The Expedited Nature Of Arbitration, Pre-hearing Information Exchange Will Be Limited To The Reasonable Production Of Relevant, Non-privileged Documents, Carried Out Expeditiously.
