1. Introduction

GlobalCarExchange.com is an online automotive marketplace that brings together auto auctions, automobile dealers, inspectors, consigners, rental companies, manufacturers, banks, leasing companies, and other automotive industry professionals together. GlobalCarExchange.com includes such features as Vehicle Inspection Report, Live Video Streaming, SimCasts Simulcast, Auction Management Systems, Dealer Management Systems, CRM and other automotive software and information.

Global Car Exchange is not a traditional auctioneer but is fully compatible and compliant with its auction clients and dealership customers in unifying the automotive wholesale segment. Global Car Exchange provides services to facilitate the exchange of vehicles between Buyers and Sellers. The actual contract for sale is directly between the Seller and the Buyer. Global Car Exchange does not take title to the vehicles listed for sale via the Services. Global Car Exchange is neither the Buyer nor the Seller of the vehicles listed for sale. As a commercial party, you should research the condition and value of the vehicle and the terms of sale before bidding. You agree that any legal claims arising out of a transaction will be between you and the other party (either Buyer or Seller) in the transaction and not against Global Car Exchange or any Global Car Exchange partner.

Any guidance we provide as part of our Services, such as pricing, listing, and sourcing is solely informational, and you may decide to follow it or not. Also, while we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programs, Global Car Exchange has no control over and does not guarantee: the existence, quality, safety or legality of items advertised; the truth or accuracy of users' content or listings; the ability of sellers to sell items; the ability of buyers to pay for items; or that a Buyer or a Seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.

6. Payment Terms

In consideration of access to the Services, Buyer and Seller each agree to pay Global Car Exchange or partners (as applicable) all fees and charges assessed by Global Car Exchange and/or the Global Car Exchange partners for access to the Services (collectively, the “Fees”). The fees we charge for using our Services are listed on our Payments and Fees page. Fees are subject to change without notice. The purchase price of the vehicle, service charges, plus all applicable taxes and Fees payable by Buyer in connection with a transaction is the “Total Payment Amount.” All Fees are non-refundable.

Buyer shall pay Global Car Exchange the Total Payment Amount within two (2) business days after the Buyer’s bid is accepted as the winning bid (the “Payment Due Date”). Payment shall be made in U.S. dollars by ACH electronic funds transfer, credit card, check, floor plan, or by another financing arrangement acceptable to Global Car Exchange (each a “Payment Method”). The Buyer agrees to pay any fees and commissions associated with the chosen payment method. If payment is not received by the Payment Due Date, the amount owing will be automatically debited using the default payment method selected by the Buyer. Global Car Exchange reserves the right to specify the type of Payment Method it will accept from the Buyer in our sole and absolute discretion. In addition to whatever rights of set-off Global Car Exchange may have in any jurisdiction where vehicles are sold, if Buyer fails to pay Fees or other amounts owing when due to Global Car Exchange or any Global Car Exchange partner, Global Car Exchange will be entitled to immediately set off the amount owed by Buyer from any funds due from Global Car Exchange to Buyer. In addition, if you fail to pay the Total Payment Amount by the Payment Due Date, we may: (a) electronically debit your bank account or floor plan account in accordance with the default payment method selected by you or another account made available to Global Car Exchange; (b) withhold title documents until all amounts owed have been paid; (c) cancel the sale transaction; (d) charge interest on any past due amounts at the rate of one and one half (1.5%) percent per month, calculated in U.S. dollars, or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less; and/or (e) pursue any other remedy or relief permitted by law. If Global Car Exchange accepts payment from Buyer by electronic check, Buyer authorizes Global Car Exchange to initiate debit entries to its account at the financial institution on which the electronic check was written. The electronic check debit authorization will remain in force until we have received written notice from you of its termination. Global Car Exchange reserves the right to decline payment by electronic check at any time and for any reason. Any payment that is withdrawn by Buyer or its bank, rejected or returned for non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) must be settled and replaced immediately. NSF transactions will be subject to a service charge up to the maximum amount allowed by law and shall be immediately due and payable. Global Car Exchange will pay Seller the purchase price of the vehicle less the Fees due from Seller to Global Car Exchange after receipt of a clear, transferable title from Seller.

You agree to pay all costs including, without limitation, attorney fees, court or/and arbitration costs and other expenses reasonably incurred by Global Car Exchange or an Global Car Exchange partner, to collect any monies owing by you.

19. Dispute Resolution

Any controversy or claim between Customer and Global Car Exchange arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the validity, inducement, or breach hereof (each such controversy or claim is hereinafter referred to as a "Dispute"), shall be settled as follows: First, the parties involved in the Dispute shall attempt to resolve any Dispute prior to commencing the procedures set forth below.

If after seven days the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute, the parties shall submit to non-binding mediation which shall take place for a period of one day in Hillsborough County, Tampa before a mediator that is mutually acceptable to the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on the selection of a mediator, a mediator will be chosen by an arbitrator selected pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") who will then select such mediator from a list of distinguished neutral mediators maintained by the AAA. The mediator shall confer with the parties to design procedures to conclude the mediation within no more than 30 days after initiation. Each party has the right to pursue any provisional relief from the appropriate court, such as attachment, preliminary injunction, specific performance (the parties acknowledging that monetary damages may not be sufficient remedy), replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the Dispute even though mediation has not been commenced or completed.

If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within the 45 day period referred to above, or in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to Customer or Customer’s claim, Customer and Global Car Exchange agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the federal or state courts of Hillsborough County, Tampa. Both Customer and Global Car Exchange consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

20. Waiver, Severability & Assignment

You may not assign any of your rights under this Agreement without Global Car Exchange’s prior written consent, and any such attempt will be void. Global Car Exchange may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.
