18. Additional Terms for the TradeVantage Resale Guarantee Service 

If you use or participate in the Resale Guarantee Service, the following additional terms and conditions shall apply:

In order to enroll a vehicle and utilize the Resale Guarantee Service, you must open a TradeVantage Account, pay an enrollment fee of six hundred dollars ($600.00) (“Enrollment Fee”) for each vehicle or submit a valid coupon code from one of our Partners, and provide us with certain information, including without limitation your full name, email address, the state your vehicle is registered to in the United States and other vehicle information such as its make, model, year and VIN. Enrollment in the Resale Guarantee Service automatically enrolls you in the TradeVantage Buying Service.  Please note that there are separate, additional terms and conditions associated with the TradeVantage Buying Service, which are also set forth herein.  Your Enrollment Fee is payable in the manner set forth on the enrollment form. You shall pay all fees or charges to your TradeVantage Account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. We reserve the right to modify the TradeVantage Resale Guarantee Services and the TradeVantage Buying Services and pricing at any time. TradeVantage reserves the right to deny enrollment of a user for any reason. For further information in connection with enrollment terms please see the “Enrollment for a TradeVantage Account” section of these Terms and Conditions.

After successful vehicle enrollment in your TradeVantage Account (including TradeVantage’s receipt of payment and acceptance of such enrollment) and for any time thereafter so long as you are the registered owner of the vehicle, you are eligible to make a resale request for the purchase of your vehicle (excluding certain types of Restricted Vehicles) from us (the “Resale Request”).

You may make a Resale Request by logging into your TradeVantage Account and navigating to the “Request To Sell Your Vehicle” section. When you make a Resale Request, you must be the registered owner of the vehicle, have actual physical possession of the vehicle, the vehicle must be located in the contingent United States, and have the ability to transfer valid title. When you make a Resale Request, you will be prompted to complete a vehicle questionnaire which will require information and photographs of the vehicle including, without limitation, information about any prior accidents, enhancements to the vehicle, photographs of the odometer, etc. (the “Vehicle Questionnaire”). 

By making a Resale Request, you agree that we and/or our Partners may use the personal contact information you provided, including your telephone number and email address, to communicate with you about the Resale Guarantee Service or other products and services that may be of interest to you. 

Upon submission of the Vehicle Questionnaire, TradeVantage will review it for accuracy and completeness. The Vehicle Questionnaire will be evaluated to determine whether the vehicle is eligible to receive one hundred ten percent (100%) of Kelley Blue Book (or its successor or other reasonable industry equivalent) (collectively “KBB”) Trade-in Value (the “KBB Trade-in Value”). In the event that the enrolled vehicle does not have a published KBB Trade-in Value, TradeVantage will make commercially reasonable efforts to make a Conditional Offer (defined below) based on an equivalent value.

In determining whether the vehicle is eligible to receive 100% of KBB Trade-in Value, TradeVantage will use the condition category as “Good” unless photographs provided by you, or the vehicle’s inspection indicates otherwise. TradeVantage will use the five-digit zip code you provided when you enrolled your vehicle with TradeVantage to determine 100% of KBB Trade-in Value. Certain deductions from the standard 100% KBB Trade-in Value may be made for items or occurrences in connection with the vehicle such as: condition, accidents, mileage, failing to have possession of two sets of keys to the vehicle, undisclosed paint work, etc. TradeVantage may also deduct for “special circumstances” as defined by KBB including but not limited to unusual vehicle color and excess inventory.  In the event that KBB’s “special circumstances” calculations lag the actual market conditions, based on TradeVantage’s good faith estimates and current data, TradeVantage reserves the right to adjust for excess inventory. TradeVantage also reserves the right to not process a Resale Request and/or to deduct from the standard 100% of KBB Trade-In Value for any current model year vehicle (or any vehicle that has been purchased within the last twelve (12) months).  TradeVantage also deducts an industry standard reconditioning fee of seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00) (the “Reconditioning Fee”).  

As soon as reasonably practical after completion of the evaluation process, TradeVantage will either: (i) deliver an offer (the “Conditional Offer”) to you for one of our Partners to purchase your vehicle, subject to final vehicle inspection (the “Conditional Offer Email”) or (ii) inform you that we have declined to extend a Conditional Offer and provide instructions on next steps (“Decline Email”). 

If we do not extend a Conditional Offer, the Decline Email will explain how you may request a refund of any Enrollment Fee (or a portion thereof) you paid directly for such vehicle enrollment (“Refund Option”).  If you did not pay the Enrollment Fee (or a portion thereof) directly through the Website, because our Partners paid the fee at the time you purchased your car, or if you received a coupon code for use on our Website, then you are not eligible for any refund. 

After you have submitted a Resale Request, and you do not accept the conditional offer made by TradeVantage, you agree that TradeVantage has fulfilled its contractual obligation to you. All Conditional Offers are subject to physical inspection and verification of the vehicle by one of our Partners, as well as the terms of, and your full compliance with, these Terms and Conditions and any other related applicable terms. Upon receipt of a Conditional Offer, you have seven (7) days, and up to three hundred (300) additional miles on your vehicle to accept such an offer. You will be solely responsible for delivering the vehicle to our Partners for inspection pursuant to the instructions included in the Conditional Offer Email.

Upon delivery of the vehicle to our Partners, our Partners will conduct a mandatory vehicle inspection to confirm the vehicle description and condition information that you provided through the Resale Request and the Vehicle Questionnaire. This confirmation inspection may include, for example, paint thickness measurements, a road test, a mechanical inspection, and review of vehicle history reports and disclosure statements regarding flood, salvage, and/or odometer discrepancies (including rollbacks). In the event that the inspection reveals material misrepresentations and/or inconsistencies in the vehicle condition identified by you, we may rescind the Conditional Offer or may provide a revised Conditional Offer to you based on the actual condition of the vehicle as determined through the inspection. In the event we rescind the Conditional Offer due to material misrepresentations and/or inconsistencies in the vehicle condition identified by you, no refund shall be owed to you by TradeVantage. You acknowledge and agree that we have no involvement in, or liability in connection with, the inspection of your vehicle. You are under no obligation to sell your vehicle to TradeVantage or our Partners at any time. 

19. Exclusion of Certain Restricted Vehicles

The Resale Guarantee Service may not be used to sell certain categories of restricted vehicles, including but not limited to: commercial vehicles; vehicles owned or leased by a government entity or agency, vehicles with a police, fire or livery history; motorcycles; recreational vehicles; reconstructed or salvage vehicles; vehicles without a valid VIN; vehicles with altered drivelines or bodies; vehicles with illegal or non-functioning emissions equipment; flood, hail or fire damaged vehicles; vehicles with substantial mechanical or electrical damage; and any other category of vehicle (collectively a “Restricted Vehicle”), that we, in our sole discretion believe may adversely impact the operation or reputation of the Resale Guarantee Service. If you solicit a Conditional Offer for any Restricted Vehicle using the Resale Guarantee Service, you may not receive an offer for such vehicle and, in the event that you do erroneously receive a Conditional Offer for such vehicle, you acknowledge and agree that such offer is not valid or enforceable.

In addition to any other terms set forth herein to receive a Conditional Offer:  (i) you must be the registered owner of the vehicle in question; (ii) you must possess a valid driver’s license or other form of valid government-issued photo ID; (iii) you must provide accurate, complete, and truthful personal contact information and responses to all questions included in the Vehicle Questionnaire, including those relating to the description and condition of your vehicle; (iv) the vehicle must be located in the contingent United States; and, (v) unless otherwise agreed, you must deliver your vehicle, with a valid registration and either clear and unencumbered title in your name, or complete documentation regarding any lease obligations or liens on your vehicle (including, for example, contact information for your lender or leasing company, relevant account information, and the current loan payoff amount or lease early termination fee for your vehicle). 

You acknowledge that if you provide any false, incomplete, or inaccurate information, including vehicle information or personal contact information, your Conditional Offer may be rescinded and/or canceled by TradeVantage. You are responsible for the information contained in the Vehicle Questionnaire, the content of all communications you transmit through or in connection with the Resale Guarantee Service, and any other information you provide to us or our Partners.

For the avoidance of doubt, TradeVantage is not a vehicle seller, dealer, broker or agent for vehicle sellers or dealers, nor is TradeVantage a provider of, or broker, or agent for, other automotive-related products or services offered by third parties. 

20. Additional Terms for the TradeVantage Buying Service

If you use or participate in the TradeVantage Buying Service, the following additional terms apply:

In order to enroll and utilize the TradeVantage Buying Service, you must open a TradeVantage account, pay an enrollment fee of six hundred dollars ($600.00) (“Enrollment Fee”) or submit a valid coupon code from our Partners, or have enrolled in the TradeVantage Vehicle Resale Guarantee Service. Enrollment in the Buying Service automatically enrolls you and one vehicle for the TradeVantage Resale Guarantee Service, subject to the additional terms and conditions for the TradeVantage Resale Guarantee Service. You must also provide us with certain information including, without limitation, your full name, email address, phone number, and address. Your Enrollment Fee is payable in the manner set forth on the enrollment form. You shall pay all fees or charges to your TradeVantage Account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms that are in effect at the time such fee or charge is due and payable. We reserve the right to modify the Services and/or our pricing at any time. TradeVantage reserves the right to deny enrollment of a user for any reason. For further information in connection with enrollment terms, please see the Enrollment for a TradeVantage Account section and the Additional TradeVantage Enrollment Terms section of these Website and Services Terms and Conditions.

Beginning immediately after successful enrollment with TradeVantage (including receipt of payment by TradeVantage and acceptance of such enrollment by TradeVantage) and for any time thereafter, so long as you are the enrolled in your TradeVantage Account, you are eligible to make a request to find your desired vehicle (“Buying Service”).

You may make a request for the Buying Service by logging into your TradeVantage Account and navigating to the section entitled, “Request To Buy A Vehicle.” When you enter the Request to Buy a Vehicle section, you will be prompted to submit your contact information. Our customer service department will contact you to complete a questionnaire describing your desired vehicle specifications including vehicle type, desired make and model, year, color, options, etc. (the “Spec Sheet.”)

By making the Request to Buy a Vehicle, you agree that we or our Partners may use the personal contact information you provided, including your telephone number and email address, to communicate with you about the Buying Service or other products and services that may be of interest to you. 

Upon submission of the Spec Sheet, TradeVantage will review it for accuracy and completeness. As soon as reasonably practical after completion of this review process, TradeVantage will send your Spec Sheet to our Partners. Our Partners will review the Spec Sheet and prepare an offer for you, which will include the characteristics of the potential vehicle that match your Spec Sheet, the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, and the final price of the potential vehicle (collectively “Vehicle Offer Package”). Multiple Partners may submit a Vehicle Offer Package to TradeVantage based on your Spec Sheet. TradeVantage will then send you the Vehicle Offer Package that most closely matches your Spec Sheet. Within seven (7) calendar days of your receipt of the Vehicle Offer Package, you may then accept or decline the Vehicle Offer Package. If you accept the Vehicle Offer Package, TradeVantage will email you the location of our Partner with the identified vehicle, and the name and contact information of the sales representative who will assist you with your purchase. 

The TradeVantage Buying Service may not be used to purchase certain categories of restricted vehicles, including but not limited to police, fire or similar entities; motorcycles; recreational vehicles; and any other category of vehicle described herein as a Restricted Vehicle. 

For the avoidance of doubt, TradeVantage is not a vehicle seller, dealer, broker or agent for vehicle sellers or dealers, nor is TradeVantage a provider of, or broker or agent for, other automotive-related products or services offered by third parties.
