If the Product Information for a product or service We you have ordered or purchased through the Sites is inaccurate, Your sole remedy is to return the product in unused condition, in accordance with the applicable return policy. We do not warrant or guarantee availability of any of the products and services, and reserve the right to refuse or otherwise cancel Your order or any portion of Your order (e.g., by removing certain items) at any time before Your order is shipped or otherwise completed; in the event We cancel all or a portion of Your order, You will not be charged for the canceled order or items.

Pricing. The list prices displayed for products and services represent the retail price for such product or service, excluding taxes and applicable fees. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Despite Our best efforts, list prices may be incorrect. If a product or service's actual price is higher than Our stated price, We will, at Our sole discretion, either contact You for instructions before shipping or cancel Your order and notify You of such cancellation.

Parts and Accessories Purchases. Parts and accessories (collectively defined as "Parts") purchased through the Sites are intended solely for use in or affixing to the motor vehicles for which such Parts are designed by their manufacturer, in accordance with the instructions and directions of the relevant motor vehicle's owners' and repair manuals.

Vehicle Pricing. Vehicle pricing is an estimate for reference purposes only, and is not an offer to sell FCA vehicles. "MSRP" excludes destination, taxes, title, and registration fees. "Starting at" price refers to the base vehicle model, optional equipment not included. Optional equipment is not included in vehicle pricing unless specifically indicated. A more expensive vehicle model may be shown in images next to prices on the Services. Dealers set the actual transaction price. To obtain full pricing details, see Your dealer. Pricing, discounts, incentives, and offers may change at any time without notification.

Your Payment Information. By providing Your credit card information to Us (or to the extent We permit other means of payment, Your other payment account information) (“Payment Information”), You represent to Us that You have the right to provide such Payment Information to Us and that We have the right to use that Payment Information for the fees and charges due to Us under this Agreement. You also authorize Us to receive automatic updates of Your Payment Information from the financial institutions for Your applicable account so that such information remains current; however, We have no obligation to do so and You ultimately are responsible for keeping Your Payment Information current with Us. You may update Your Payment Information via Your Account or by contacting Us and requesting that We update Your payment information on file.

Accepting an Order. We (through Our vendors or suppliers) may limit the acceptance of orders to particular jurisdictions and as permitted by applicable law. While We try to confirm orders by email, Your receipt of an email order confirmation does not constitute Our acceptance of an order or Our confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service. The shipment of the products shall be the sole evidence of Our acceptance of Your order. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to limit the order quantity of any product or service and to refuse service to You. We also may verify information before We accept or ship any order.

Your outstanding balance is due in full for each subscription period. We do not accept debit cards or gift cards for recurring payment plans.  All applicable charges must be paid by the due date to avoid a late fee and/or possible cancelation or suspension of Your subscription and/or Your access to the relevant service(s).   We use third parties to process payments, their processing of your payment and transaction information is also subject to their terms and conditions of use.

Taxes and Other Fees. You promise to pay all taxes, fees, and surcharges charged to You by Us. We may charge additional fees related to Our costs (or the costs of Our third party providers, including payment processors). These can include items such as shipping and handling costs; administrative charges; gross receipts charges and certain other taxes imposed upon FCA, or charges for the costs that We incur and pass along to You, and other charges related to governmental costs. Such charges are subject to change and You may not receive advance notice of any changes.

14. DISPUTES; BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

Please read the following (this “Provision”) carefully as it affects Your rights. Most concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting Us at 800-800-2813. This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between You and FCA regarding the Sites and Your access to and use of the Sites.

This Provision provides that all Disputes between You and FCA shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Provision (as explained below), which means You would retain Your right to litigate Your Disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.

Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration Provision, You may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into these Terms constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).

For the purpose of this Provision, “FCA” means FCA and its parents, subsidiary and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between You and FCA regarding, arising out of or relating to any aspect of Your relationship with FCA, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable cause of action or claim for relief, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties in connection with the Sites or these Terms, whenever You also assert claims against Us in the same proceeding.

WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution; Written Notification of Dispute. For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give FCA an opportunity to resolve the Dispute by providing written notification to FCA.

  • If You are in the United States, You must send Your written notification to FCA US LLC, 1000 Chrysler Drive, Attention: Office of General Counsel, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326-2766.

The written notification to FCA of Your Dispute must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) a written description of Your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief You seek. If FCA does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives Your written notification, You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out. Notwithstanding the above, You or FCA may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Provision by mailing written notification to FCA:

  • If You are in the United States, You must send Your written notification to FCA US LLC, 1000 Chrysler Drive, Attention: Office of General Counsel, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326-2766.

Your written notification that You choose to opt out of these arbitration procedures must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, and (3) a clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with FCA through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with FCA. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures. If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either You or FCA may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration only, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action or representative action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

  • If You are in the United States, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a Party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the Parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration.

If You are in the United States, You or FCA may initiate arbitration in either Your U.S. location or the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. FCA will pay all arbitration filing fees and AAA or JAMS hearing fees and any arbitrator's hearing fees, costs and expenses upon Your written request to the arbitrator given at or before the first evidentiary hearing in the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if You provide notice and negotiate in good faith with FCA as provided in “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” above and the arbitrator concludes that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration, You will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both You and FCA specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You. Neither You, nor any other user of the Subscription Platform can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Jury Waiver. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, You and FCA are each waiving the right to a jury trial. In the absence of this Provision, You and might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.

Survival. This Provision shall survive the expiration or termination of Your Subscription or these Terms for any reason.
