7. Artificial Intelligence Features
7.1 Nature of AI Features
The AI Features are probabilistic and generate Output based on statistical patterns. Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, internally inconsistent, or entirely fabricated, even when it appears confident, specific, and authoritative.
7.2 No Reliance Without Review
Customer must have a qualified human review and verify all Output before relying on it, publishing it, delivering it to any Consumer, submitting it to any government agency or lender, or using it in any decision affecting any person. Output is a draft and a suggestion only.

No Output constitutes legal, tax, accounting, appraisal, financial, lending, insurance, safety, mechanical, or regulatory advice, and no Output creates any professional or fiduciary relationship.
7.4 Prohibited Uses of AI Features
Customer shall not use AI Features as the sole or determinative basis for: any credit decision or adverse action; any pricing that varies by a protected characteristic; any employment decision; any safety or mechanical fitness determination; any legal disclosure to a Consumer; or any submission to a government agency.
7.5 Valuations and Projections
Any valuation, market analysis, days-to-turn estimate, price recommendation, gross projection, or forecast produced by the Services is an estimate for informational purposes only, is not an appraisal, and does not constitute a representation of actual or achievable value.
7.6 Third-Party Model Providers
AI Features may be powered in whole or in part by third-party model providers. Customer's use of AI Features is additionally subject to those providers' acceptable use policies, and RevLot may pass through restrictions imposed by such providers.

As between the parties, and subject to applicable law and any third-party rights, Customer owns the Output generated from its inputs. Customer acknowledges that Output is not necessarily unique, that similar or identical Output may be generated for other customers, and that Output may not be protectable by copyright.

RevLot does not use Customer Data to train general-purpose foundation models, and contractually requires its AI subprocessors not to do so. See the Privacy Policy for detail.
8. HitchHub and Marketplace Features
8.1 Platform Only
Where the Services include listing, marketplace, syndication, or lead-generation features, RevLot acts solely as a neutral technology platform. RevLot is not a dealer, broker, agent, auctioneer, escrow agent, or party to any transaction, and does not take title to, possess, inspect, or guarantee any vehicle, unit, part, or item.
8.2 Listing Content
Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and completeness of every listing, including price, mileage, VIN/HIN, title status, condition, damage history, recall status, photographs, disclaimers, and any required advertising disclosures. Customer represents that it has all rights necessary to publish all listing content, including photographs.
8.3 No Endorsement or Verification
RevLot does not verify the identity, licensing, solvency, or trustworthiness of any user, buyer, seller, or third party, and does not endorse any listing or transaction. Customer transacts entirely at its own risk.
8.4 Third-Party Marketplaces
Where the Services syndicate listings to third-party marketplaces, Customer is responsible for compliance with each such marketplace's terms and content policies. RevLot is not responsible for any rejection, delay, removal, error, or misdisplay by any third-party marketplace.
8.5 Disputes Between Users
Any dispute between Customer and any other user, buyer, or seller is solely between those parties. Customer releases RevLot, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any and all claims, demands, damages, and liabilities of every kind arising out of or connected with any such dispute. Customer expressly waives California Civil Code § 1542 and any analogous provision of any jurisdiction.
9. Third-Party Services and Integrations
9.1 Third-Party Services
The Services may interoperate with third-party products, data feeds, and services, including lenders, credit bureaus and aggregators, vehicle history providers, valuation providers, DMV and titling vendors, payment processors, telephony and messaging providers, accounting systems, auctions, transport providers, marketing platforms, and hosting and AI providers ("Third-Party Services").
9.2 Not RevLot's Responsibility
Third-Party Services are governed solely by the agreements between Customer and the applicable provider. RevLot makes no representation or warranty regarding any Third-Party Service and shall have no liability for any Third-Party Service's availability, accuracy, security, pricing, data practices, discontinuation, or acts or omissions. RevLot does not control and is not responsible for changes to any third-party API that impair an integration.
9.3 Data Transmission
By enabling an integration, Customer authorizes RevLot to transmit Customer Data to and receive data from the applicable Third-Party Service. Once transmitted, such data is governed by that provider's terms and privacy practices.
9.4 Third-Party Data Accuracy
Vehicle history, valuation, recall, title, lien, tax rate, and similar data supplied by third parties is provided AS IS. RevLot does not independently verify such data and is not liable for its inaccuracy or incompleteness.

10.1 Fees
Customer shall pay all fees specified in the applicable Order Form. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all fees are non-refundable and non-cancelable, and all payments are non-creditable. No refund or credit is provided for partial periods, unused seats, downgrades, or failure to use the Services.
10.2 Subscription and Auto-Renewal
Subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods equal to the initial term unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current term. Customer authorizes RevLot and its payment processor to charge the payment method on file for each renewal.
10.3 Price Changes
RevLot may change fees effective upon renewal, with at least thirty (30) days' notice prior to the renewal date. Usage-based, per-message, per-transaction, and pass-through charges may change with notice.
10.4 Usage-Based Charges
Charges based on messages sent, API calls, storage, documents generated, AI usage, transactions, or similar metering are calculated from RevLot's records, which are dispositive absent manifest error.
10.5 Late Payment and Suspension
Undisputed amounts not paid when due accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, from the due date until paid. If any amount is more than ten (10) days past due, RevLot may suspend the Services in whole or in part upon notice, without liability, until all past-due amounts are paid. Suspension does not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay fees for the remainder of the term.
10.6 Collection Costs
Customer shall reimburse RevLot for all reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys' fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.
10.7 Chargebacks
Customer shall not initiate a chargeback or payment dispute for any amount validly owed. Customer shall reimburse RevLot for all chargeback fees and costs arising from any chargeback resolved in RevLot's favor.
10.8 Taxes
Fees are exclusive of all taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, VAT, GST, excise, and similar taxes, excluding taxes on RevLot's net income. If RevLot is required to collect such taxes, they will be invoiced to Customer.
10.9 Billing Disputes
Customer must notify RevLot in writing of any billing dispute within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Failure to do so waives the dispute, and the invoice is deemed accepted.

11. Intellectual Property

11.2 Customer Data
As between the parties, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data.

11.3 Aggregated and De-Identified Data
RevLot may collect, generate, and use data derived from Customer's use of the Services in aggregated and de-identified form that does not identify Customer, any Authorized User, or any Consumer ("Aggregated Data"), for purposes including improving and securing the Services, developing new features, and producing industry benchmarks and analytics. RevLot owns all Aggregated Data. RevLot will not publish Aggregated Data in a manner that identifies Customer without Customer's consent.
11.4 Feedback
If Customer provides suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback, Customer grants RevLot a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, transferable license to use, modify, and commercially exploit such feedback without restriction, attribution, or compensation.
11.5 Trademarks
Neither party may use the other's name, logos, or trademarks without prior written consent, except that RevLot may identify Customer as a customer and use Customer's name and logo in customer lists and on its website, which permission Customer may revoke by written notice to[CONTACT EMAIL].
12. Confidentiality
12.1 Definition
"Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other that is designated confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, including Customer Data, pricing, product roadmaps, security practices, and non-public technical information.
12.2 Obligations
The receiving party shall (a) use the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, and no less than reasonable care, (b) not use Confidential Information except to perform under these Terms, and (c) not disclose Confidential Information except to its employees, Affiliates, contractors, and advisors who need to know and are bound by comparable obligations.

12.4 Compelled Disclosure
The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law or valid legal process, provided it gives prompt notice (where legally permitted) and reasonable cooperation to seek protective treatment.
13. Data Protection and Security
13.1 Privacy Policy
RevLot's collection and use of personal information is described in theRevLot Privacy Policy, incorporated by reference.
13.2 Roles
With respect to Consumer personal information within Customer Data, Customer is the controller / business and RevLot is the processor / service provider. RevLot processes such information only on Customer's documented instructions, which include these Terms and Customer's configuration of the Services. Where a Data Processing Addendum is executed between the parties, it governs in the event of conflict with this Section.
13.3 GLBA Service Provider
To the extent Customer Data includes "nonpublic personal information" under GLBA, RevLot acknowledges its role as a service provider and agrees to maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Customer remains responsible for its own Safeguards Rule program, including its own service provider oversight, risk assessment, and incident response plan.
13.4 Security Measures
RevLot maintains commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, logging, and periodic review. RevLot may update these measures provided it does not materially degrade overall security.
13.5 No Guarantee
No system is impenetrable. Customer acknowledges that RevLot does not and cannot warrant that Customer Data will never be subject to unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Customer is responsible for the security of its own devices, networks, endpoints, and personnel.
13.6 Incident Notification
RevLot will notify Customer without undue delay after confirming a security incident that resulted in unauthorized access to or acquisition of Customer Data within RevLot's systems, and will provide reasonably available information. Customer is solely responsible for determining whether notification to Consumers, regulators, or others is required and for making all such notifications. RevLot's notification is not an admission of fault or liability.
13.7 Backups
RevLot maintains routine backups as part of its own operations. Backups are for RevLot's disaster recovery purposes and are not a substitute for Customer's own backups. Customer is solely responsible for exporting and independently retaining copies of Customer Data.
14. Service Availability
14.1 No Uptime Guarantee
Except as expressly set forth in a written service level agreement executed by RevLot, the Services are provided without any uptime, availability, response-time, or performance guarantee.
14.2 Maintenance and Downtime
The Services may be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, updates, third-party outages, or events beyond RevLot's control. RevLot will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule planned maintenance during off-peak hours and to provide advance notice where practicable.

Where a written service level agreement applies, service credits are Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any failure to meet a service level commitment.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM REVLOT OR THROUGH THE SERVICES CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in such jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted.
16. Limitation of Liability
16.1 Exclusion of Indirect Damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR DATA, OR FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
16.2 Liability Cap
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, REVLOT'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO REVLOT FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

16.4 Failure of Essential Purpose
The limitations in this Section apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
16.5 Allocation of Risk
Customer acknowledges that the fees for the Services reflect this allocation of risk and the limitations in Sections 15 and 16, that RevLot would not enter into these Terms without them, and that they form an essential basis of the bargain.
16.6 Time Limit on Claims
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be brought within one (1) year after the claim accrues, or it is permanently barred, except where a shorter or longer period is required by non-waivable law.
16.7 Exceptions
Nothing in this Section limits (a) Customer's payment obligations, (b) either party's indemnification obligations, (c) Customer's breach of Sections 6 or 11, or (d) liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.
17. Indemnification
17.1 By Customer
Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless RevLot, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, actions, proceedings, investigations, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
(a) Customer Data, including its collection, accuracy, legality, and any consents required for it; (b) Customer's use of, or inability to use, the Services, including reliance on any Output; (c) Customer's violation of any law or regulation, including any listed in Section 5.2; (d) any transaction between Customer and any Consumer, lender, auction, or third party; (e) any document, disclosure, contract, advertisement, or communication generated through the Services and delivered by Customer; (f) any listing published through HitchHub or syndicated to any third-party marketplace; (g) any SMS, MMS, RVM, email, or other communication sent by or on behalf of Customer through the Services, including any TCPA or state consent-law claim; (h) Customer's breach of these Terms or of any representation or warranty herein; (i) any act or omission of any Authorized User; (j) any dispute between Customer and any employee, contractor, or customer of Customer.
17.2 By RevLot
RevLot shall defend Customer against any third-party claim alleging that the Services, as provided by RevLot and used in accordance with these Terms and the Documentation, directly infringe a U.S. patent, copyright, or trademark, and shall indemnify Customer for damages finally awarded or amounts paid in settlement approved by RevLot.
RevLot has no obligation under this Section 17.2 to the extent a claim arises from (a) Customer Data or Output; (b) modification of the Services by anyone other than RevLot; (c) combination of the Services with any product, data, or service not supplied by RevLot; (d) use of the Services other than in accordance with the Documentation or these Terms; (e) Beta Features or free Services; (f) any Third-Party Service; or (g) Customer's continued use after being notified of allegedly infringing activity or provided with a modification that would have avoided the claim.
If the Services become, or in RevLot's opinion are likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, RevLot may at its option and expense (i) procure the right for Customer to continue using the Services, (ii) modify or replace the Services to be non-infringing, or (iii) terminate the affected Services and refund any prepaid, unused fees. Section 17.2 states RevLot's entire liability and Customer's exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement.
17.3 Procedure
The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim, grant the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement (provided that no settlement imposing a non-monetary obligation or admission on the indemnified party may be entered without its consent, not unreasonably withheld), and provide reasonable cooperation at the indemnifying party's expense. Failure to give prompt notice relieves the indemnifying party only to the extent it is materially prejudiced.
18. Term, Termination, and Suspension
18.1 Term
These Terms commence on the earlier of Customer's acceptance or first access to the Services and continue until all subscriptions have expired or been terminated.
18.2 Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate for the other party's material breach that remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice describing the breach. RevLot may terminate immediately for Customer's breach of Sections 6, 10, or 11, or where required by law.
18.3 Termination for Convenience by RevLot

19.2 Binding Arbitration
Except as provided in Section 19.5, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, including their formation, interpretation, breach, termination, validity, or enforceability, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or, for claims under US$250,000, its Streamlined Rules), before a single arbitrator.

If Section 19.2 as a whole is found unenforceable, the parties' disputes shall be resolved in the courts identified in Section 20.2.
