1. Purpose
This Policy explains how disputes between users and Cars4Sure will be handled.
It is designed to:
- Resolve issues quickly
- Reduce legal costs
- Prevent unnecessary lawsuits
- Protect Cars4Sure from class actions
- Ensure fair, individual resolution
This Policy applies to all users, dealers, inspectors, vendors, and partners.
2. Agreement to Arbitration

You waive the right to:
- A judge
- A jury
- A public lawsuit
- A class-action case
Arbitration is private and individual.
3. Individual Claims Only
Disputes must be brought one-on-one.
Users may not:
- Join a class action
- Participate in mass claims
- Represent other users
- Combine claims with any other person
Each dispute must be handled individually.
4. Issues Covered by Arbitration
This Policy covers all disputes related to:
- Marketplace listings
- Dealer behavior
- Vendor behavior
- Inspections
- Missed issues
- Pricing disputes
- Platform errors or downtime
- Data accuracy
- Communication disputes
- Any contract between you and Cars4Sure

If it involves Cars4Sure or the platform, arbitration applies.
5. Issues Not Covered
Arbitration does not apply to:
- Claims Cars4Sure files against a user for fraud
- Claims related to intellectual property infringement

- Emergencies requiring court orders
Cars4Sure may choose court in these cases.
6. Informal Resolution First
Before filing for arbitration, the user must:
- Contact Cars4Sure support
- Provide a written description of the issue
- Allow 30 days for Cars4Sure to respond
Cars4Sure will attempt to resolve the issue informally. If no agreement is reached after 30 days, arbitration may proceed.
7. Arbitration Process
If arbitration is needed, it will follow these rules:
- Handled by a neutral arbitrator
- Conducted in a simple, streamlined process
- May occur remotely
- Each party covers their own legal fees
- Cars4Sure covers required arbitration fees when required by law
The arbitrator's decision is final.
8. Location of Arbitration
Arbitration will take place in the state where Cars4Sure LLC is registered unless both sides agree to a remote or online process.
Remote arbitration is allowed.
9. Governing Law
This Policy is governed by the laws of the state where Cars4Sure LLC is legally formed and registered.
10. Time Limit to File Claims
Disputes must be filed within one year of the event that caused the claim.
Claims filed after one year will not be accepted.
11. No Class Actions
Users agree not to participate in or bring:
- Class actions
- Group lawsuits
- Collective proceedings
- Representative claims
This protects Cars4Sure from mass litigation.
12. Severability
If any part of this Policy is found invalid, the remaining parts stay in effect.
13. Survival
These dispute rules continue to apply even after:
- Account deletion
- Platform discontinuation
- User leaving the ecosystem
