2. SERVICES
Boost offers a Service whereby you may request conditional offers to purchase your used motor vehicle (excluding certain types of vehicles) from certain participating dealers in the Boost network (each offer, an “Offer”). Each Offer is for informational purposes only and does not constitute, and should not be construed as, a binding offer by Boost, a dealer or any third party to purchase your used motor vehicle. A participating dealer that may make an Offer is referred to as a “Participating Dealer.” None of the Participating Dealers are owned or operated by Boost or otherwise act on behalf of Boost. When you request an Offer through the Service, you must have possession of the actual vehicle listed, with the ability to transfer valid title as set forth herein. You are required to provide certain identifying and contact information, which must accurately identify yourself so Participating Dealers can communicate directly with you. By using the Service, you represent, warrant, and covenant that you are not: (i) a motor vehicle dealer or (ii) listing a vehicle for sale in your capacity as an owner, employee, or representative of a motor vehicle dealer. For clarity, if you are a motor vehicle dealer, you may not use the Service to obtain an on behalf of a customer.
The Service enables Participating Dealers to obtain information about vehicles for which Offers have been requested and, if applicable, to contact a seller to make an Offer. We are not a party to, or otherwise guarantee the terms of, any Offer or any transaction resulting therefrom. You alone are responsible for any transaction you engage in resulting from an Offer from a Participating Dealer. Although Participating Dealers have agreed to abide by certain customer service standards, we are not responsible for any potential fraud or other misconduct by a Participating Dealer in connection with the Service. As a seller, you should exercise caution and good judgment when completing any transaction, including those involving the Service.
The Service is not available in all areas and not all vehicles are eligible. The Service may not be used to sell or to trade-in certain categories of vehicles, including commercial vehicles; vehicles with a government, police, fire or livery history; motorcycles; recreational vehicles; reconstructed or salvage vehicles; vehicles without a valid VIN; “grey market” vehicles; vehicles older than seventeen (17) model years; vehicles with altered drivelines or bodies or illegal or non-functioning emissions equipment; flood, hail or fire damaged vehicles; vehicles with substantial mechanical or electrical damage; vehicles registered at an auto auction or offered for sale on a wholesale website within forty five (45) days prior to submitting your request for an Offer; vehicles that are valued at less than $1,000; and any other category of vehicle that we, in our sole discretion, believe may adversely impact the operation of the Service (each, a “Restricted Vehicle”). If you solicit an Offer for any Restricted Vehicle using the Service, you may not receive an Offer for such vehicle and, in the event that you do receive an Offer for such vehicle, you acknowledge and agree that such Offer may be invalidated and that no Participating Dealer is required to purchase such vehicle from you.
You acknowledge that if you provide any false, incomplete, or inaccurate information, including vehicle information or personal contact information, your Offer may be invalidated by the Participating Dealer. By requesting an Offer, you agree that Boost, its service providers, Participating Dealers, and/or affinity partners may use the personal contact information you provided, including your telephone number and email address, to communicate with you about the Service or other products and services that may be of interest to you. By requesting an Offer through the Service, you agree to use the email address or any other contact information of the Participating Dealer(s) making an Offer only for purposes of communicating with them about the potential sale of that vehicle.
Although a Participating Dealer is not obligated to purchase your vehicle for any price, you can try to negotiate a more favorable price or a trade-in value for your vehicle and, of course, you are always free to sell or trade in your vehicle outside of the Service. The sale price that you could receive for your vehicle in the open market or from another source may be higher than the amount of your Offer received through the Service.
To use the Service to receive an Offer from a Participating Dealer: (1) your vehicle must be located in a market in which the Service is offered and registered in the same state as the location of the applicable Participating Dealer; (2) you must be the registered owner of the vehicle; (3) you must possess a valid driver’s license or other form of valid government-issued photo ID; (4) you must provide accurate, complete, and truthful personal contact information and responses to all questions included in the online questionnaire, including those relating to the description and condition of your vehicle; and (5) 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), to the Participating Dealer for inspection by, or behalf of, the Participating Dealer. For Participating Dealers who may offer a mobile pick-up service, delivery may actually occur at your home or other mutually agreed upon location.
You are responsible for the information contained in the vehicle questionnaire, the content of all communications you transmit through the Service, and any other information you provide. We may perform random or selective quality assurance tests to confirm that individuals who request Offers through the Service are not automobile dealers and are prepared to sell such vehicles through the Service. By using the Service, you agree to cooperate in these quality assurance tests. If the tests reveal, or we otherwise learn, that a seller is violating these Terms of Service or engaging in other unfair or deceptive practices, Boost may, in its sole discretion, deny that seller use of the Service.
For the avoidance of doubt, Boost is solely a research and communications platform. Boost is not a vehicle purchaser, dealer, broker or agent for vehicle sellers or dealers, nor a provider of, or broker or agent for, other automotive-related products or services offered by third parties. Boost receives a fee from the participating dealers or third-party service providers in connection with the Services.
THE BOOST ENTITIES DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR VEHICLE, OBTAIN AN ACCEPTABLE PRICE FOR YOUR VEHICLE, RECEIVE ANY INQUIRIES OR SOLICITATIONS FROM POTENTIAL PARTICIPATING DEALERS, OR RECEIVE OFFER FOR, YOUR VEHICLE FOR SALE. IN THE EVENT THAT ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES ARISE OUT OF AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO LOOK SOLELY TO THE PARTICIPATING DEALER FOR YOUR REMEDY AND NOT TO THE BOOST ENTITIES.
