Data Privacy and Security Notice.
We care about data privacy and security. By using the Site, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with our Privacy Policy. You also agree to be bound by our privacy terms as described in our Privacy notice posted on the Site, which is incorporated into these Terms of Use. Please be advised the Site is hosted in the United States and intended for users in the United States. If you access the Site from the European Union, Asia, or any other region of the world with laws or other requirements governing personal data collection, use, or disclosure that differ from applicable laws in the United States, then through your continued use of the Site, you are transferring your data to the United States, and you expressly consent to have your data transferred to and processed in the United States.

Therefore, if we receive actual knowledge that anyone under the age of 16 has provided personal information to us without the requisite and verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information from the Site as quickly as is reasonably practical.
Insurance Services
We offer insurance services through the Site that are governed by the terms and conditions attached to those insurance services, including any payment and liability provisions, and we will not be liable for any insurance services offered through the Site, unless such liability is expressly reserved. The Terms of Use will not change or alter any contract or agreement between you and us. As part of the insurance services, we may offer insurance verification, insurance quotes, and the sale of insurance. All quotes generated by us are estimates based upon the information you provided and are not a contract, binder, or agreement to extend insurance coverage. Any coverage descriptions provided on the Site are general descriptions of available coverages and are not a statement of contract.
Authorization to Obtain a Credit Report and Credit Score
Where applicable, you understand and agree that by submitting your information, you are providing us with “written instructions” in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, for us to obtain your consumer credit report and credit score from one of three national credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion. You authorize us to use this credit report and credit score alone or in combination with other data to match you with products and services offered by insurance carriers, where applicable.
We are not an insurance carrier/underwriter
We are not an insurance carrier or underwriter. Any quote and/or comparisons provided are furnished by the individual insurance carrier and are subject to change without notice. A quote should not be construed as a commitment from the insurance carrier to actually issue that policy or any other policy to you. The quotes presented are based on the information we have requested, and you have given us. To purchase a policy, you must enter into a formal agreement with the insurance carrier. The insurance carrier will review your application, along with other information it may gather from other sources. Based on its analysis and underwriting, the insurance carrier will determine the precise premium and fees to charge you. This underwriting process may result in higher or lower premiums than your quote. We have no control of this underwriting process.
Breaches of these Terms of Use
Without prejudice to our other rights under these Terms of Use, if you breach these Terms of Use in any way, we may take such action as we deem appropriate to deal with the breach, including suspending your access to the Site, prohibiting you from accessing the Site, blocking computers using your IP address from accessing the Site, contacting your internet service provider to request that they block your access to the Site and/or bringing legal proceedings against you.

We make no warranties or representations about the content of, any products or services offered by, or the intellectual property compliance of, such third-party websites. We recommend that you take the time to read the privacy policies and user agreements of these websites.
Third-party vendors
We may use third-party vendors to access your information for purposes of verifying insurance and providing insurance verifications and quotes. We make no warranties or representations about the content of, any products or services offered by, or the intellectual property compliance of, such third-party vendors.
Submitted ideas policy
When you submit ideas or materials to us (“Submissions”), such as for marketing, advertising, promotions, contests, products, services, devices, processes, trademarks, logos, artwork, music, photos, or videos, you grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, world-wide, royalty-free right and license to use, modify, publish, disclose, or exploit the Submission at our discretion.

Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate
Except where and to the extent prohibited by law, we both agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to the Terms of Use or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of the Terms of Use or any part of it (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice us shall be sent to:
• AutoProtect at 530 Howard Street, Suite 470, San Francisco, CA 94105, Attn: Legal
• Notice to you shall be to the address you give to us.
Both of us agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA.

Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available, or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties or if the parties cannot agree, then AAA will select the arbitrator using the procedures in the Commercial Arbitration Rules to do so.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of the Terms of Use, including any claim that all or any part of this Terms of Use is void or voidable.
