The Service is intended by Garage Match Canada to be made available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old. If you do not qualify, then you are prohibited from downloading, accessing, using and registering for the Service. Garage Match Canada will not collect personally identifiable information from any person who is actually known to us to be under the age of 13. If we become aware that a person under 13 has provided personally identifiable information, Garage Match Canada will take steps to remove such information and terminate that individual’s account, access and use of the Service.

Garage Match Canada may refuse to offer or continue offering the Service to any person and may change its eligibility criteria from time to time.

Registration.

The Service may be accessed several ways: by visiting the Site directly; or by using a web plug-in that is made available to you by Garage Match Canada; or by using an App that is downloaded from Garage Match Canada (or a Channel Partner), which then communicates with Garage Match Canada’s web servers; or by using a widget that is made available to you by a Channel Partner, which operates or otherwise connects to Garage Match Canada’s web servers (and which may operate within a frame or wrapper provided by the Channel Partner). The term Channel Partner means any Internet publisher, website operator, reseller, distributor or other third party who is authorized to drive user traffic, or facilitate access, to the Service pursuant to arrangements with Garage Match Canada.

Regardless of how you access the Service, to ensure the integrity of the Service, you must complete an account registration process and provide Garage Match Canada with current, complete and accurate information, as more specifically required by then current registration procedures and operational prompts.

By way of illustration and not limitation, you may be required to provide the following information in order to establish your account and register for and use the Service: name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, vehicle information (make, model, year, mileage and VIN), username, password and certain preferences and permissions (such as, for example, preferred contact method). You are required to maintain and update your registration data from time to time, to ensure that it is always current, complete and accurate.

Garage Match Canada may refuse to accept your application to register for the Service, in its sole discretion. Upon acceptance, Garage Match Canada will establish access credentials for your account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your access credentials and other account information, and you will be solely liable for any and all activities under your account.

Vehicle Services.

The Service includes the ability for users to investigate, compare quotes, book appointments, purchase vehicle maintenance, repair, roadside assistance, vehicle transportation and related services (Vehicle Services) from certain dealerships, repair shops and independent contractors (Mechanics, Towing Companies & Vehicle Transportation Companies). Based on your query, Garage Match Canada will solicit quotes on your behalf from Mechanics, Towing Companies or Vehicle Transportation Companies that are willing to provide your requested Vehicle Services. If you elect to accept any such quote for Vehicle Services and book an appointment with the applicable Mechanic,Towing Company or Vehicle Transportation Company then you will be required to provide valid Credit Card Information (cardholder name, card number, expiration date and security code), which will be verified by Garage Match Canada’s service provider (merchant bank) before your Vehicle Service is confirmed.

For clarity, all Vehicle Services are provided by the applicable Mechanic,Towing Company or Vehicle Transportation Company, not Garage Match Canada. Accordingly, Vehicle Services are not deemed to be within the scope of the Service offered and provided by Garage Match Canada, and Garage Match Canada (and its Business Partners, other than the applicable Mechanic,Towing Company or Vehicle Transportation Company) have no obligation or liability regarding Vehicle Services.

As a result of its limited role as an intermediary between you and the Vehicle Service providers, Garage Match Canada has no control over the quality, timeliness, price, guarantees, risks or damages related to Vehicle Services. Therefore, you agree, in connection with any use of the Service resulting in the purchase and performance of Vehicle Services: (a) to release Garage Match Canada (and its Business Partners, other than the applicable Mechanic,Towing Company or Vehicle Transportation Company from any and all claims, demands, damages and liabilities, of any type and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such Vehicle Services (including any disputes arising therefrom); and (b) to attempt to settle any dispute directly with the applicable Vehicle Service provider.

Fees and Payments.

Except as expressly provided otherwise in the Terms of Service, Garage Match Canada and each user is solely responsible for all of its costs and expenses related to the Service.

At this time, as a vehicle owner you may access and use the Service without charge. In the future, Garage Match Canada may decide to charge for certain Apps or other features of the Service (or to change the price charged for such Apps and features), in which case you will be notified of that change. Should you elect to obtain any such fee-bearing App or feature, you hereby agree to pay all applicable fees, in the amounts, at the times and subject to any other conditions established for that App or feature. Such fees may be specified on a recurring basis (e.g., subscription or usage fees) or non-recurring basis (e.g., one-time fees).

You are solely liable for the cost of Vehicle Services you receive. The price for Vehicle Services (including any applicable taxes) will be established by the applicable Mechanic, as set forth in the offer you accepted (or as increased or decreased as a result of changes in the scope of Vehicle Services to which you and the Mechanic have agreed). You hereby agree that Garage Match Canada may immediately charge the full and final price to your credit card after the Mechanic notifies Garage Match Canada that the Vehicle Services have been completed. After receipt of payment from your credit card, Garage Match Canada will retain a service fee and pay the remainder to the Mechanic, in accordance with the arrangement between them.

Unless specified otherwise, all amounts due hereunder shall be paid in CA dollars, in immediately available funds by credit card, in full without set-off, counterclaim or deduction. Any amount not paid when due shall bear a late payment charge until paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less. If any payment is past due, Garage Match Canada shall have the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate (including without limitation, suspending or terminating your access and use of the Service). You agree to reimburse Garage Match Canada for all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in collecting payments.

Privacy.

Garage Match Canada's current Privacy Policy is available at Privacy Policy.

The most current Privacy Policy will apply to any and all use of the Site, Apps and other aspects of the Service. Garage Match Canada will not intentionally edit, modify, delete or disclose the contents of your registration data or other User Data in connection with the Service unless (a) reasonably necessary for Garage Match Canada (or its service providers) to operate the Service, including processing your requests and appointments for Vehicle Services, (b) to communicate with Business Partners, (c) otherwise permitted under the Privacy Policy or other Terms of Service, (d) Garage Match Canada reasonably believes that such action is necessary (i) to conform or comply with any legal, regulatory, law enforcement or similar requirement or investigation, (ii) to protect or defend the rights or property of Garage Match Canada or any third party or (iii) to enforce the Terms of Service or (e) otherwise authorized by you.

User Data and Analytics.

The Service collects, stores, processes and analyzes User Data and produces Analytics. Accordingly, whenever you interact with the Service, a variety of technologies are employed to automatically or passively collect User Data.

The term User Data means all data and information that are provided by you during registration and subsequent use of the Service (including queries related to obtaining Vehicle Services), and all other data and information about you that are otherwise discerned or collected by Garage Match Canada based on your access and use of the Service. For clarity, User Data includes, but is not limited to: browser or device type; operating system; time of day; identification of the page served and preceding page views; use of particular Service features or applications (such as, for example, viewing or responding to advertisements); registration data; vehicle information; geographic location; Vehicle Service histories.

The term Analytics means user profiles and statistics, metrics, abstractions and other analyses that are based on or derived from your use of the Service and User Data, which are developed in the aggregate with other data or which are developed in a manner that does not disclose your identity or User Data (unless in aggregated or anonymized form).

You hereby authorize Garage Match Canada to use your User Data and to exploit Analytics in the manner and for the purposes described in these Terms of Service, including without limitation: to use User Data to communicate with you; to include, copy, disclose, distribute, transmit and display User Data in communications that you have initiated via the Service; to access, record, collect, copy, store, process, analyze and use User Data to provide the Service (including to solicit offers for Vehicle Services from Mechanics and to confirm appointments); to develop, improve, extend and test the Service (and underlying technology platform); to design, develop and produce Analytics; and to disclose, distribute and transmit User Data and/or Analytics to Channel Partners, Mechanics, advertisers, advertising networks, content distributors and other of Garage Match Canada’s customers, service providers and business partners (collectively, Business Partners).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Garage Match Canada does not record or store your Credit Card Information. Credit Card Information is provided to and retained by Garage Match Canada’s merchant bank, where it is used solely for the purpose of verification and validation, and for charging payments for completed Vehicle Services.

User Generated Content.

The Service may include discussion forums or other communications features, through which users may publicly post and/or exchange content and information they think may be of interest to other users based on their use of the Service (such as, for example, reviews and ratings regarding Vehicle Services) and other related subjects (collectively, User Content). You agree not to post or distribute any confidential User Content or other information that you desire (or are required) to keep secret.

Garage Match Canada does not undertake to pre-screen, authenticate, validate, monitor, moderate or edit any User Content. However, Garage Match Canada and its agents have the right, at their sole discretion, to remove in whole or in part, at any time, any User Content that, in Garage Match Canada's judgment, does not comply with the Terms of Service or otherwise appears to be harmful, objectionable or inaccurate. Garage Match Canada is not responsible for any failure or delay in removing any such content.

Because Garage Match Canada does not review the substance of User Content, or other user-to-user communications via the Service, you must be careful in dealing with other users to avoid unintended consequences. You acknowledge that information provided by users may, despite the prohibitions set forth in the Terms of Service, be harmful, inaccurate or deceptive. Authentication of the true identity of remote (Internet or mobile) users is difficult, and so Garage Match Canada cannot and does not confirm that each user is the person who they claim to be.

Garage Match Canada is not involved in user-to-user dealings and, therefore, in connection with any use of the Service, you agree: (a) to release Garage Match Canada (and its affiliates, licensors, Channel Partners and other Business Partners) from any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, of any type and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to your use of the Service (including any disputes with other users); and (b) to attempt to settle any dispute directly with such other user or other third party.
