CarBuckets does not participate in the Dealership bidding process and expressly disclaims any liability in connection therewith. CarBuckets receives fees from participating Dealerships and may receive compensation from certain Third-Party Service Providers and does not guarantee that the goods or services offered by any such Third-Party Service Provider are the best available.
The images provided on the Website are provided by ChromeData® and are shown for illustration purposes only and may not reflect the final trim, as defined below, or accessories packages that may be available or offered to you from the Winning Dealership. A User’s Winning Bid Notice containing your CarBuckets Price willcontain the specific Vehicle, which a Dealership is offering you for sale or lease, as the case may be. It is the User’s responsibility to obtain Vehicle images and specifications from the Winning Dealership and to verify the accuracy thereof.
By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that, due to the constantly changing inventory of automotive dealerships, in general, participating Dealerships may not ultimately have the Vehicle specified in your Winning Bid Noticein their inventory. Dealerships are not required to hold Vehicles, unless an agreement has been reached between you and the applicable Dealership.During your initial interview (“User Interview”) with a Winning Dealership, Users must confirm whether the specific Vehicle is available. If your Vehicle is not available at the time of your User Interview, Dealerships are required to use their best efforts to obtain a similar make and model (including trim-level and specified color) or if such Vehicle (each a “Replacement Vehicle”) is not available in the Winning Dealership’s inventory, every attempt must be made to secure a Replacement Vehicle by dealer-trade within twenty-four (24) hours. If no Replacement Vehicle is available, you will be placed in a new Bucket.
You may negotiate the purchase pricefor your Vehicle and/or choose to purchase or lease a different Vehicle directly with the Winning Dealership. CarBuckets plays no role in the negotiationprocess and expressly disclaims any liability in connection therewith.
CarBuckets is not a vehicle seller, dealer, broker or agent for vehicle sellers or dealers, nor a provider of, or broker or agent for, automotive insurance or other automotive-related products or services offered by third parties. Any brand names or logos, particularly those relating to the make and model of a vehicle, contained on the Website are the intellectual property of their respective owners.You agree to indemnify and hold CarBuckets harmless in connection with any claim that CarBuckets is acting as an automotive dealership or broker, insurance broker, or any professional business entity, as such terms are defined by applicable state law.

CarBuckets does not operate the third-party service(s) or links and is not responsible for the content or accessibility outside of the Website. The Service may also contain content created by third parties, such as customer reviews, where third parties may express their ideas and opinions. CarBuckets and its affiliates do not endorse the accuracy or reliability of any third-party content.
Access to the Service will require you to register an account with us and provide certain information in connection therewith (“User Account”).Although you may create a User Account at any time prior to using the Service, when you use the Service,we will first ask you to provide your desired brand or “make,” of the Vehicle, model, year, transmission style (where both automatic and manual options are available), as well as your preferred color and a backup color.Users can select a specific trim for their model, or they can select “any trim”. In the case that a User selects “any trim”, Dealerships will be able to provide a quote for any trimavailable in their inventory for that specific make and model. If Users select “any trim” when signing up for a Bucket, Users expressly acknowledge and agree that they will not have the option to choose the trim for a Vehicle.
Once you have completed the Vehicle selection process, to continue, you will be required to enter your personal and contact information. You will then be able to determine whether you might qualify for any available manufacturer rebates or similar incentives, including Dealership incentives (each a “Cash Rebate”). You will be asked to select whether your preference is to lease or purchase your Vehicle. Then you will be asked to input the zip code where the Vehicle will be registered in order for the Dealership to calculate applicable tax, tag and title costs. Cash Rebates may vary depending on whether or not a User desires to purchase or lease their desired Vehicle. Information regarding Cash Rebates is provided by ChromeData® and other Third-Party Service Providers. CarBuckets does not guarantee the availability of or your eligibility for any Cash Rebates. Cash Rebates will not be displayed if there are no Cash Rebates currently available for the Vehicle you selected. However, during your initial interview with the Winning Dealership, you may wish to inquire as to the availability of any additional Cash Rebates which were not displayed on the Website. You must carefully read the eligibility requirements in each disclaimer in order to ensure that you are only selecting Cash Rebates for which you actually qualify. The information that you provide on the Website regarding Cash Rebates will be reflected in your CarBuckets Price, subject to confirmation by the Winning Dealership before issuing a Final Price. Similarly, CarBuckets is not responsible for your failure to receive a Cash Rebate, even if you were ultimately eligible for one at the time of purchase or lease. You are strongly encouraged to discuss the availability of and your eligibility for any Cash Rebates with the Winning Dealership. Final qualification for Cash Rebates lies with the Dealership, based on requirements set forth by the Vehicle manufacturer and applicable laws.
By using the Service, you expressly agree that the availability of and your ultimate eligibility for any Cash Rebates will be determined by you and the applicable Dealership or manufacturer, as the case may be, at the time of your purchase or lease. If you discover an error in any information on our Website, including inaccurate information regarding Cash Rebates, please contact us at [email protected].
Unless you have already registered for a User Account, after providing information relevant to Cash Rebate eligibility, you will be asked to provide us with personal information, including, but not limited to, your full name, mobile number and email address. We will send you notifications via your preferred method of contact, whether by e-mail or SMS. Our collection and sharing of your personal information is governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy, as further defined below, to which you expressly agree.
Following your registration with the Service, we will match your location and requested Vehicle brand with other Users who have registered to use the Service, automatically placingsuch Users in a Bucket.The number of Users required to activate a particular Bucket depends on a number of factors, which are determined by CarBuckets, in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that a Bucket must have at least one (1) or more User. You can check the status of your Bucket at any time by logging in to your UserAccount. We will also send you a notification, to which you expressly consent to receive, when your Bucket is activated. Activation of your Bucket does not mean that your requested Vehicle will be available, that you will receive a Winning Bid Notice or that if you do, that you are required to buy or lease a Vehicle.
Based on the Winning Dealership’s inventory, the Service will automatically match a User with a specific Vehicle featuring their selected trim, or if that trim is not available, the trim that most closely resembles the selected preference. If a specific trim is selected, and that trim is not available at the Winning Dealership, you may be presented with an alternative (and perhaps more expensive) trim for the selected Vehicle.
Users also recognize that a specific color indicated on our Website and chosen by a User may not be available from the Winning Dealership. Selection of trims and final colors for each Vehicle, and pricing in connection with the trim of any certain Vehicle lies solely with the Dealership, in its sole and absolute discretion. CarBuckets cannot guarantee the availability of a make, model or trim at any Dealership. Although Dealershipsagree to make every effort to match Users with their desired Vehicles, Vehicle inventory changesconstantly.
Users may, after receiving a Winning Bid Notice, as set forth below, choose a different Vehicle, upgrade their Vehicle or choose additional add-ons from the Winning Dealership (a “Substitute Vehicle”). Users acknowledge that any Substitute Vehicle selected by the User at the Dealership may not reflect pricing offered through the Service. Winning Dealerships are only required to honor the pricing for the specific Vehicle that is offered to you in your Winning Bid Notice, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth below. Any and all negotiation relating to the pricing for such Substitute Vehicle is your sole responsibility.

Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Class Remedies
Arbitration.
For purposes of this Agreement, you and CarBuckets are each referred to as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties”. The Parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a requirement prior to either Party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including its formation, performance and breach) and the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the provisions of its Consumer Arbitration Rules, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to determine the validity of any claim and to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the Parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. The exclusive seat or place of jurisdiction shall be Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The Parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
Class Action Waiver.
The Parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the Parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the Parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Exception - Litigation of Small Claims Court Claims.
Notwithstanding the Parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either Party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
Thirty Day Right to Opt Out.
