This document describes the terms and conditions under which AutoDealCloser enables its users (car sellers and buyers) to access and use its Software-as-a-Service platform.
We’re Driving Gears, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”) and operate under the name AutoDealCloser. AutoDealCloser provides car buyers and sellers (collectively “Users”) with a patent-pending SaaS-based solution where buyers can identify and finalise a deal themselves at their own time without needing to meet a salesperson. AutoDealCloser operates on a vision to change how sellers and buyers trade their products and services.
AutoDealCloser owns and operates the website autodealcloser.com (“Site”) and an online marketplace platform for selling and purchasing vehicles (“Marketplace”). The Site, Marketplace, and SaaS, are collectively referred to as the Service.
PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONSTITUTE A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE USER AND AUTODEALCLOSER, AND CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE DURATION OF THE SERVICES, OUR RIGHTS TO CHANGE THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, LIMITATIONS OF OUR LIABILITY, WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, TERMS REGARDING THE CUSTOMER AND ITS USERS’ PRIVACY RIGHTS. ANY USE OF OUR SERVICES OR MARKETPLACE WILL MEAN THAT YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED BELOW.
The Service is offered and provided subject to acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein (“Terms of Service” and “Agreement”). The Terms of Service shall be deemed to include AutoDealCloser’s Privacy Policy.
This Agreement may be amended at any time by us without specific notice to you. The latest Agreement will be posted on the Site, and you should review this Agreement prior to using the Site or our Marketplace.
We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Site at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue all or part of the Site without notice at any time.
This website is controlled and operated by AutoDealCloser from its offices in California, United States. AutoDealCloser makes no representation that information or materials available on this website are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to this website from territories where its contents are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access this website from other locations do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
We are not a car seller, dealer, broker or agent for car sellers or dealers, nor a provider of, or broker or agent for, other automotive-related products or services offered by third parties. AutoDealCloser is solely a third-party intermediary connecting and negotiations platform with limited role enabling car buyers to search for a car (online or from the parking lot of the car dealership) and finalise a deal at their own time without needing to meet a salesperson.
All information provided on the Marketplace is for informational purposes only. As such, AutoDealCloser cannot guarantee the accuracy of information provided by the car seller on the Marketplace, including any features, condition, safety, quality or its availability. Both the car buyer and seller acknowledge and accept that the seller assumes any and all liability for any discrepancies contained in the listing and for the vehicle availability. The buyer hereby agrees that any reliance on the information on the Marketplace is at their own risk and releases AutoDealCloser 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 car listings on the Marketplace.
Information related to the buyer
The buyer may use AutoDealCloser’s AI Sales Assistant Software. Based on seller rules, the car buyer can negotiate the price using the same tool, close the deal, and receive a final voucher following the conclusion of the process. For the avoidance of any doubt, AutoDealCloser is not a third-party negotiator, but merely provides a SaaS negotiation solution to both parties. A request to talk to a salesperson or schedule a testdrive is also available on the Marketplace. Once the voucher has been issued, the buyer can meet with the car seller, sign the purchase contract, and agree on any remaining issues, such as payment and delivery details. All buyers are encouraged to thoroughly review any documents they are asked to sign at the time of purchase. Car buyers qualify for an up to $100 voucher for each deal they finalise on AutoDealCloser Marketplace and the check will be issued only after we verify the conclusion of the purchase agreement with the car seller.
Information related to the seller
AutoDealCloser is free to list a car for a limited period. We reserve the right to charge a fee to any car sellers that wish to continue using the Marketplace to allow them post their listings and manage their inventories, deals, sales rules (such as fixed price or in a range), and QR codes after that period is over. Once a deal has been closed and the final voucher has been issued, the car seller can meet with the buyer, sign the purchase contract, and agree on any remaining issues, such as payment and delivery details.
