IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Use, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. Please ensure that you check the applicable Terms every time you use our Site so that you understand which Terms apply. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms of Use by your continued use of the Site after the date such revised Terms of Use are posted.

The information provided on the Site is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Site.

ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER:

CONNECTING CCAR SELLERS AND BIDDERS

Auto Server Solutions Ltd connects those offering cars for sale (“Sellers”) and those looking to acquire cars (“Bidders”). The Services acts as a meeting place only; the actual contract for sale for each car listed on the Services is directly between the Seller and the winning Bidder.

When we use the word “you” in these Terms, it refers to any user, regardless of whether he or she is a Seller, Bidder, other registered user or unregistered user, while if we use one of those specific terms, it only applies to that category of user.

Before acquiring a car from any Seller (each, a “Seller Car”), Bidders are responsible for making their own determinations that the Seller Car is suitable. Auto Server Solutions Ltd is only responsible for connecting Sellers and Bidders, and can’t and won’t be responsible for making sure that any Seller Car is up to a certain standard of quality. Auto Server Solutions Ltd similarly can’t and won’t be responsible for ensuring that information (including credentials) any Bidder or Seller provides about himself or herself or about any Seller Car he or she is offering is accurate or up-to-date. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that they shall make reasonable efforts to complete the sale of their Seller Car if there is a winning bid. Each Bidder acknowledges and agrees that if they are the winning bidder in an auction through the Services, their bid is binding on the Bidder and the Bidder is responsible for all applicable government fees and taxes for the vehicle won through such bid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we don’t control the actions of any Bidder or Seller, and Sellers aren’t our employees.

Auto server solutions ltd does not directly offer the seller cars. You hereby acknowledge that Auto Server Solutions Ltd does not supervise, direct, control or monitor the seller cars and expressly disclaims any responsibility and liability for the seller cars, including but not limited to any warranty or condition of quality or fitness for a particular purpose, or compliance with any law, regulation, or code.

Sellers may not remove a car made available for auction on the Services before the end of such auction. While a Seller Car is listed on the Services, Seller may not list or make available such Seller Car on any other auction, dealership, listing service or publication.

ELASTICITY OF TERMS.

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with our Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will place a notice on our site, send you an email, and/or notify you by some other means.

If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

BASICS OF USING THE SITE.

You may be required to sign up for an account, select a password and user name (“Auto Server Solutions Ltd User ID”), and provide us with certain information or data, such as your contact information. You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. You may not select as your Auto Server Solutions Ltd User ID a name that you do not have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to impersonate that person. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission.

If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization’s or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).

You will only use the Services for your own internal, personal use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party. You will comply with all laws that apply to you, your use of the Services, and your actions and omissions that relate to the Services (for example, Sellers must comply with all laws that relate to the Seller Cars). If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren’t authorized to use the Services. We can’t and won’t be responsible for your using the Services in a way that breaks the law.

You will not share your Auto Server Solutions Ltd User ID, account or password with anyone, and you must protect the security of your Auto Server Solutions Ltd User ID, account, password and any other access tools or credentials.

The Auto Server Solutions Ltd Parties make no representations or warranties regarding suggestions or recommendations of services or products offered or purchased through or in connection with the Services including, without limitation, any Seller Cars. Seller Cars and services purchased or offered (whether or not following such recommendations and suggestions) through the Services are provided “AS-IS” and without any warranty of any kind from the Auto Server Solutions Ltd Parties or others (unless, with respect to such others only, provided expressly and unambiguously in writing by a designated third party for a specific product).

THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED BY Auto Server Solutions Ltd (AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

Auto Server Solutions Ltd (I) DOES MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CAR ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A SELLER THROUGH THE SERVICE (OR ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE OR SERVICE) AND (II) WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY MONITOR ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND A BIDDER OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER.

In the event of such a claim, suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).

CHOICE OF LAW.

These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya, 2010.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

 Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Auto Server Solutions Ltd and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from Auto Server Solutions Ltd. Both you and Auto Server Solutions Ltd acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, Auto Server Solutions Ltd ‘ officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.

(a) Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating arbitration. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Kenya. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of qualified arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Costs of Arbitration. The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Auto Server Solutions Ltd will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than seventy-five thousand ($20,000) dollars. Auto Server Solutions Ltd will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

 (c) Waiver of Trial. YOU AND Auto Server Solutions Ltd WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE. You and Auto Server Solutions Ltd are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Auto Server Solutions Ltd over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND Auto Server Solutions Ltd WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

(d) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Auto Server Solutions Ltd is entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (f) below.

(e) Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: “­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­________________________” postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement.

(f) Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (e), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Auto Server Solutions Ltd to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and Auto Server Solutions Ltd agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the Courts of the Republic of Kenya,.

(g) Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Auto Server Solutions Ltd.

MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms of Use and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Site or in respect to the Site constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.

We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control.

There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms of Use or use of the Site. You agree that these Terms of Use will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them.
