Ownership, Non-Exclusive License, and IP. You own all of the content, feedback, and personal information you provide to us, but you also grant us a non-exclusive license to it.
These Terms of Use govern all content on the Services, including text, articles, photographs, images, graphics, illustrations, creative, copy, artwork, video, audio, music, podcasts, trademarks, trade names, service marks, games, and other brand identifiers, designs, plans, software, source and object code, data, algorithms, analysis, statistics, indexes, registries, repositories, and all other content, information, and materials available on or through the Services, whether provided by Tradecars, our licensors, partners vendors, and/or other service providers (“Content”).
Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Use, Tradecars grants you a non-exclusive, limited, revocable, personal, non-transferable license to use the Services and to download and use any Tradecars mobile application (“Mobile Application”) on your mobile device, for your personal, NONCOMMERCIAL use only.

We will use the information and data that you provide and that we have about you to verify and validate information on you and your car to make subsequent recommendations for car valuation, connections, content, and features that may be useful to you. For example, we use data and information to market and receive offers for your car. Keeping your profile accurate and up-to-date helps us to make these recommendations more accurate and relevant.
Payment. There is no payment required at the time of the registration, but to participate in the auction you have to put a service cancellation fee on hold. If you elect to have your car auctioned and later decide not to sell it, you will be subject to this cancellation fee. You agree to pay us the applicable fees and past-due taxes /license fees and any other charges in case of a successful sale. Failure to pay these fees will result in the termination of your ability to participate in Services including participating in any auctions.
Commission. If your car sells at a price higher than the estimated price by Tradecars, the incremental difference between the estimated auction price and the actual sale price is split equally between you and Tradecars after the payment of any auction fees.
Transfer of Car Ownership. Upon closing, you will deliver to Tradecars any transfer documents required to Tradecars including certificate of title or registration for the car, along with a Federal Odometer Disclosure statement and any similar certification or statement that may be required, and any other documents and instruments that may be necessary for Tradecars to effect the sale and transfer the car (and title thereto) to the applicable buyer (collectively, the “Vehicle Transfer Documents”). If for any reason you do not provide, complete or duly execute any Vehicle Transfer Document, Tradecars may agree to provide, complete or execute such missing or incomplete Vehicle Transfer Document on your behalf according to a power of attorney. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Power of Attorney, Tradecars does not assume any responsibility or liability for the correctness or accuracy of any odometer reading or any Federal Odometer Disclosure Statement or other Vehicle Transfer Document that may be prepared, executed, or submitted by Tradecars in its capacity as your agent or attorney-in-fact under the power of attorney.
