15. Procedure for Alleging Copyright Infringement Under Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Autopia will respond to alleged copyright violations in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). The Privacy Policy does not protect information that Autopia may provide to third parties at its discretion or as required by law through copies of notices referenced below.

• If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any User Generated Content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a written notification pursuant to DMCA by providing our Autopia’s Intellectual Property department with the following:
  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit Autopia to locate the material;
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit Autopia to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address;
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Counter-Notice. If you believe that your User Generated Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your User Generated Content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to Autopia’s Intellectual Property department at the address set forth below:
  • Your physical or electronic signature;
  • Identification of the User Generated Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the User Generated Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the User Generated Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the User Generated Content; and
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal court in Boston, Massachusetts, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
  • If a counter-notice is received by Autopia, Autopia may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Autopia may replace the removed User Generated Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the User Generated Content provider, member or user, the removed User Generated Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Autopia's sole discretion.
  • You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section 13, your DMCA notice may not be valid.
  • Autopia will only respond to DMCA Notices that it receives by mail, e-mail or facsimile at the addresses below:

By E-Mail: info@autopia.com

It is often difficult to determine if your copyright has been infringed. Autopia may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and Autopia may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA.

Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing work. That person may elect to send us a DMCA Counter-Notification.

Without limiting Autopia's other rights, Autopia may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate a repeat infringer's access to the Site and any other website owned or operated by Autopia.

You should also be aware that we may forward the DMCA Counter-Notification to the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

16. No Unsolicited Ideas and Materials Accepted; No Confidential Relationship With Autopia.

Autopia employs individuals to develop new ideas. As a result, Autopia does not accept any unsolicited ideas or materials for products or services, or even improvements to products or services ("Unsolicited Ideas and Materials"). Do not send to Autopia (even within any of your User Generated Content that we may request), in any form and by any means, any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials. Any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials you post on or send to us via the Site are and shall be deemed to be User Generated Content and licensed to us as set forth above.

Your relationship with Autopia is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship and your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials, and anything else submitted by you (such as any questions, comments, answers, correspondence, postings, and the like) will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary User Generated Content — regardless of whether you mark them "confidential", "proprietary", or the like. Autopia will not assume any responsibility, obligation, or liability for the receipt or non-receipt of any of the foregoing or for the loss or destruction of any of the foregoing. Therefore, your decision to submit any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials to Autopia does not place Autopia in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.

Autopia's receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an admission by Autopia of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair Autopia's right to contest existing or future intellectual property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF THE SITE AND RELIANCE ON ITS CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. AUTOPIA AND ITS THIRD-PARTY LICENSORS DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE SITE, THE SOFTWARE, THE CONTENT, THE MATERIALS OR THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING. THE SITE, THE SOFTWARE, THE CONTENT AND THE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS, AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, AND AUTOPIA AND THEIR ITS THIRD-PARTY LICENSORS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT. ALL INFORMATION RELATED TO VEHICLES AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE IS SUPPLIED BY THE DEALER, THE DEALERS’ USED CAR INVENTORY PROVIDER OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES.

AUTOPIA CANNOT AND DOES NOT VERIFY OR WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF SUCH INFORMATION. AUTOPIA RESERVES THE RIGHT, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, TO CORRECT ANY ERROR OR OMISSION ON THE SITE OR IN THE CONTENT. ALL VEHICLES ARE SUBJECT TO PRIOR SALES. ANY AND ALL CONCERNS, DIFFERENCES OR DISCREPANCIES REGARDING A VEHICLE MUST BE ADDRESSED WITH THE DEALER PRIOR TO THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS WARRANTY DISCLAIMER, "THIRD-PARTY LICENSOR" DOES NOT INCLUDE YOU. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.

18. Limitation of Liability

AUTOPIA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU, AND YOU SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE, FOR THE SELECTION, USE, AND SUITABILITY OF THE SITE AND THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND EXPERIENCES PROVIDED VIA THE SITE. AUTOPIA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE, OR PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY SERVICES, OR EXPERIENCES VIA THE SITE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO DATA OR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO INFORMATION, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF AUTOPIA HAS BEEN INFORMED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND/OR SUCH DAMAGES COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY AUTOPIA. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AUTOPIA’S TOTAL LIABILITY, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, SHALL NOT EXCEED $50.

19. Exclusions and Limitations

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS IN THE SECTION ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought in any state or Federal court of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles, California), any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to or concerning the Site and/or these Terms of Use will be decided by binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any claim must be brought by you in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, with Autopia and you each bearing its and your own costs and legal fees related to the arbitration, regardless of whether you or Autopia prevails. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action (whether arising in contract or tort, law or equity) by you must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The place of any such arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California and you hereby expressly agree that it shall be the sole site of any such arbitration. Judgment upon any award of the arbitrators may be entered by any court having competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles, California, and each of the parties hereto expressly consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for this limited purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow excluding or limiting implied warranties or limiting liability for incidental or consequential damages, and some jurisdictions have special statutory consumer protection provisions that may supersede the foregoing disclaimers and limitations. As a result, these disclaimers and/or limitations may not apply to you if prohibited by law. If any part of these Terms of Use as written is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that part, if possible, is to be construed to the fullest extent that would be deemed valid or enforceable, and all remaining portions of the Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.

21.Termination of Service

You understand and agree that in Autopia's sole discretion, and without prior notice, your access to this Site may be terminated or suspended, and Autopia may exercise any other remedy available and remove any Materials, if Autopia believes that your use of the Site and/or any Materials you provide (a) violate (i) these Terms of Service, (ii) the rights of Autopia, any Affiliate or Licensor, or another User of the Site, or (iii) any law or regulation, or are otherwise objectionable or inappropriate or (b) constitute fraudulent activity of any nature. You agree that monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to Autopia for violations of these Terms of Service, and you consent to injunctive or other equitable relief for such violations without the requirement that Autopia post a bond. Autopia is not required to provide any refund to you if you are terminated as an authorized User of the Site because, in Autopia's sole discretion, you have violated these Terms of Service.

22. Miscellaneous

• Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
