Important Reminder: Certain Prohibited Uses of the Site

These Terms and Conditions (collectively, the “Terms”), together with our Privacy Policy, represent the legally binding agreement between you (“You” or “Your”) and Bumper, LLC (“Bumper,” “We,” “Our,” or “Us”).

Bumper is a database of publicly available sources of vehicular information (“Bumper Data”) aggregated for Your convenience, intended for personal individual use purposes, that makes available services that allow users to search for a vehicle information (each, a “Search Subject”) as permitted by these Terms, such as to learn of data that may pertain to your vehicle’s estimated market value, warranty, recalls, accident record and other uses. Through Bumper, end-user visitors to the Site can view and/or access certain content, information, media, text, data, images, graphics, user interfaces, audio, video, photographs, trademarks, logos, artwork, designs, magnetic translations, digital conversions, products, services, software functionality and other materials posted to or made available through the Site (collectively, “Content”) as compiled, distributed and displayed by Bumper and other third-party content providers (“Third-Party Providers”) including, but not limited to, third-party websites or services that provide information about vehicles that can be searched for and accessed through the Site or other background information services We make available .

WE DO NOT PROVIDE PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR SERVICES AND ARE NOT A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY AS DEFINED BY THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. (“FCRA”) BECAUSE THE INFORMATION WE PROVIDE IS NOT COLLECTED OR PROVIDED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR THE PURPOSE OF SERVING AS A FACTOR IN ESTABLISHING A PERSON’S ELIGIBILITY FOR (a) CREDIT OR INSURANCE TO BE USED PRIMARILY FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY, OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES; (b) EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES; (c) BENEFITS, TENANCY OR EDUCATIONAL ADMISSION CONSIDERATIONS; OR (d) IN CONNECTION WITH A BUSINESS TRANSACTION INITIATED BY AN INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY, OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES. WE DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE CREDIT WORTHINESS, CREDIT STANDING, CREDIT CAPACITY, CHARACTER, GENERAL REPUTATION, PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS, OR MODE OF LIVING OF ANY PERSON. AS SUCH, THE ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS AFFORDED TO CONSUMERS AND OBLIGATIONS PLACED UPON CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES PER FCRA ARE NOT CONTEMPLATED BY, NOR CONTAINED WITHIN, THESE TERMS.

Accordingly, You acknowledge and agree that You will not conduct any search or otherwise obtain or use any Content or other information obtained from or through the Site for purposes prohibited by law. Because We are NOT a Consumer Reporting Agency, You are prohibited from using any information obtained from the Site, including, but not limited to, Bumper Data or other information obtained, as a factor in determining the a person’s eligibility for:

Employment, including, but not limited to, to evaluate anyone for initial employment, reassignment, promotion, or retention (including, but not limited to, household workers such as babysitters, cleaning personnel, nannies, contractors, and domestic workers);
Tenancy, including, but not limited to, deciding whether to lease a residential or commercial space to anyone;
Educational Admission or Benefits, including, but not limited to, assessing anyone’s qualifications for an educational program or scholarship;
Personal Credit, Loans or Insurance, including, but not limited to, assessing the risk associated with providing credit, a loan or insurance based on anyone’s existing debt obligations; and/or
Business Transactions initiated by an individual consumer. Including, but not limited to, determining whether anyone continues to meet the terms of a personal customer account.

Nor may you use any Content in order to take any “adverse action”. Using information obtained from Us in any of the aforementioned ways violates both these Terms and the law and can lead to possible criminal penalties. We take this very seriously, and reserve the right to terminate user access, terminate Accounts, and report violators to law enforcement as appropriate. If You are not sure whether Your desired use of information obtained from Bumper complies with these restrictions, please contact us at [email protected] before conducting any search or otherwise obtaining information from Bumper.

2. Scope of these Terms, License Grant, Electronic Signature and Legal Age Requirement

We reserve the right at any time and without notice to deny You access to the Site or to any portion thereof and to terminate Your rights under these Terms, in Our sole and absolute discretion.

These Terms govern: Your use and access of the Content We provide and/or make available; Your purchase of membership plans from the Site; and Your use of any Bumper Data provided to You in connection therewith. BUMPER GRANTS YOU A NON-EXCLUSIVE, NON-TRANSFERABLE ( that means Your account is for You alone to use–Your neighbor, coworker, spouse or assistant should obtain their own accounts) REVOCABLE AND LIMITED LICENSE FOR INDIVIDUAL, PERSONAL USE AND PROVIDES THE USE OF THE SITE, THE RELATED CONTENT, AND THE BUMPER DATA (and, if You are a subscriber, certain other services) TO YOU ONLY ON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN. You acknowledge and agree, however, that Bumper may terminate this license at any time for any reason. BY USING THE SITE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND ABIDE BY ALL THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, AND BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS THROUGH THE COMPLETION OF A PURCHASE, SELECTION OF A METHOD OF PAYMENT, AND YOUR ENTRY OF PAYMENT METHOD INFORMATION, YOU HEREBY AUTHORIZE US TO CHARGE SUCH SELECTED PAYMENT METHOD AND ITS ASSOCIATED PAYMENT ACCOUNT THAT YOU HAVE SPECIFIED FOR THE PURCHASE OF ONE OF OUR MEMBERSHIP PLANS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ENTIRETY OF THESE TERMS, YOU ARE NOT GRANTED PERMISSION TO AND MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS SITE AND/OR THE CONTENT, AND YOU ARE HEREBY INSTRUCTED TO EXIT THE SITE IMMEDIATELY.

Accordingly, these Terms apply to You when You: (a) access, view, download, or otherwise use any page on the Site other than the home page located at WWW.BUMPER.COM; and/or (b) submit an online application to become a Bumper user and/or subscriber, which enables You to utilize a host of services made available to such users/subscribers by and through the Site.

3. Class Action Waiver, Mandatory Arbitration, Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

BY USE OF THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO OUR MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION THAT GENERALLY REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. You acknowledge and agree that all claims, disputes or controversies between You and Us (including against any of Our employees, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors or assigns) relating to the Site or related websites, the Content, Bumper Data, related services and materials, any related transaction or relationship and/or Your information, including, without limitation, tort and contract claims, claims based upon any federal, state or local statute, law, order, ordinance or regulation, the issue of arbitrability, shall be resolved by the final and binding arbitration procedures set below. You further acknowledge and agree that any such claims shall be brought solely in Your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative proceeding, or private attorney general capacity. Similarly, you agree that any controversy concerning whether a dispute is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator and not by a court and the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. You voluntarily and knowingly waive any right to a jury trial.

BY AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. In arbitration, disputes are resolved by neutral arbitrators, rather than by a judge or jury. Arbitration is more informal than a court trial, however, an arbitrator can award relief.

Separate and apart from the agreement to arbitrate set forth above, You hereby waive any right to bring or participate in any class action in any way related to, or arising from, these Terms or the matters that they describe. You acknowledge that this class action waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any dispute(s) You may have and is non-severable from this agreement to arbitrate claims.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH CONTAINS THIS CLASS ACTION LITIGATION AND CLASS ARBITRATION WAIVER, YOU MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US, OUR AGENTS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS AND/OR ASSIGNS IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, YOU MUST TELL US IN WRITING AND NOT USE OUR SITE, BUMPER DATA OR OUR SERVICES.

These Terms shall be treated as though they were executed and performed in New York, NY and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflict of law principles).

At Bumper, We expect that Our customer service team will be able to resolve most complaints You may have regarding Our provision, or Your use of, our Site and its services, such as Bumper Data. If You have a complaint, You can contact Our customer service team as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below. In the unlikely event that Your complaint remains unresolved, We prefer to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later. Accordingly, You and Bumper agree to the following resolution process for all disputes and claims that You or Bumper may have arising from Our provision, or Your use, of our Site and its services, such as Bumper Data (each a “Service Claim”).

In an attempt to find the quickest and most efficient resolution of any Service Claim, You and Bumper agree to first discuss the Service Claim informally for at least 30 days. To do that, the party who brings the Service Claim must first send to the other party a notice that must include (1) a description of the Service Claim and (2) a proposed resolution. If You want to raise a Service Claim, You must send the aforementioned description and proposed resolution by email ( [email protected]) and/or certified mail to: Bumper, Attn: Legal Department, 48 W 38th St - 8th Floor, New York, NY 10018. To subsequently discuss Your Service Claim with You, We will contact You using the e-mail address or mailing address You provide in Your letter to Us. If Bumper wants to raise a Service Claim, We will send You the aforementioned description and claim notice to You at the e-mail address that We have on file for You. If We do not have an e-mail address for You on file, Bumper will send Our Service Claim to You through a means that complies with the service of process rules of the State of New York.

IF YOU AND BUMPER DO NOT REACH AN AGREED UPON RESOLUTION WITHIN 30 DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE SERVICE CLAIM, YOU AND BUMPER AGREE THAT THE SERVICE CLAIM MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL (NOT CLASS) ARBITRATION WITH ARBITRATION RESOLUTION SERVICES INC. (“ARS”) USING ITS RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE SUBMISSION OF DISPUTES INVOLVING BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS, AVAILABLE HERE. If ARS is unavailable or refuses to arbitrate the parties’ dispute for any reason, the arbitration shall be administered and conducted by a widely-recognized arbitration organization that is mutually agreeable to the parties, if possible under any rules by such organization applicable to disputes between business and consumers, but neither party shall unreasonably withhold their consent.

EXCEPTIONS TO THIS ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT: EITHER PARTY HAS THE RIGHT TO PURSUE: AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIM OR CLAIM RELATING TO UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO DATA THROUGH THE SITE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS RELATING TO PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, SERVICE MARK AND TRADE SECRETS AND CLAIMS RELATING TO THE ACCESS OR RETRIEVAL OF DATA THROUGH THE SITE USING AN AUTOMATED PROCESS SUCH AS SCRAPING) IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NY. BOTH BUMPER AND YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS FOR THESE CLAIMS.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO PRECLUDE ANY PARTY FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NY IN ORDER TO PROTECT ITS RIGHTS PENDING AN OUTCOME IN ARBITRATION.

TO HELP RESOLVE ANY ISSUES BETWEEN US PROMPTLY AND DIRECTLY, YOU AND BUMPER AGREE TO BEGIN ANY ARBITRATION OR COURT PROCEEDINGS ALLOWED UNDER THIS SECTION WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER A CLAIM ARISES AND AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS WAIVED.

Rather than force everyone to visit Us in New York, ARS’ arbitration contemplates arbitration without travelling anywhere, but instead via their cloud-based platform. Disagreements regarding the forum for arbitration will be settled by an ARS arbitrator.

When the 30-day period described above has elapsed, You may, as an individual (but not as a class) initiate the arbitration through the process described in ARS’s Business and Individual Rules. If You initiate the arbitration, Your arbitration fees will be limited to the Application filing fee set forth by ARS rules. You and Bumper acknowledge, understand and agree that any decision or award rendered by ARS may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If the arbitrator rules against Bumper, in addition to accepting whatever responsibility is ordered by the arbitrator, We think it fair that Bumper reimburse Your reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, regardless of who initiated the arbitration. By contrast, if the arbitrator rules in Bumper’s favor, We will not seek reimbursement of Our attorneys’ fees and costs, regardless of who initiated the arbitration.

This is a Class Action and Trial Waiver. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST US. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION OR AWARD WILL BE CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING AND MAY BE ENTERED AS A JUDGMENT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

4. Modifications to these Terms

We may modify these Terms, in whole or in part, from time to time in Our sole discretion, effective immediately upon posting modified Terms to the Site and, if You are a subscriber, by directly communicating them to You when You log in to the Site; provided, however, that: (i) any modification to the Dispute Resolution section shall not apply to any disputes initiated prior to the applicable modification; and (ii) any modification to the Fees and Billing section shall not apply to any charges incurred prior to the applicable modification. By not terminating Your account (“Account”) within seven (7) days after Our providing a notice of modifications to the Terms as described above or by continuing to use or access the Site or any of its services after modified Terms are posted to the Site, You agree to comply with, and be bound by, such modifications. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any future offer(s) made available to You on the Site that augment(s) or otherwise enhance(s) the current features of the Site shall be subject to these Terms.

IV. Fees, Taxes and Billing

If You wish to use the Site’s services or otherwise purchase any product or service through the Site, You will be presented with the applicable fees and billing arrangement prior to Your purchase, which include the charging of fees to a payment card on a recurring basis. By ordering a subscription and/or any product via our Site, You authorize Us to charge your card accordingly. As with any merchant, for Your protection, we may request additional information to authenticate the credit card being used, and absent successful authentication, we may refuse to accept an order. If you believe that your credit card or other payment method might have been used in a fraudulent manner to purchase Bumper Data, please contact our customer service department as soon as possible. We do not accept payment via check, cash or money order. In addition to the applicable subscription or order fees, depending upon the state in which you reside, either You, or We on Your behalf, are responsible for paying any and all applicable sales or use tax due to any and all taxing authorities arising from, or in connection with, Your use of the Site’s services.

All orders are subject to applicable taxes in the states where an applicable customer resides and You authorize us to take all appropriate measures to comply with any and all applicable laws and statutes in connection with the foregoing.

BY SUBMITTING PAYMENT, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU (A) ARE EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AND (B) HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE THE PAYMENT MEANS SELECTED BY YOU. By supplying payment card information, You authorize Our use of such information in accordance with Our Privacy Policy, including, but not limited to, Our provision of such information to third parties for the purposes of payment processing. You also understand and acknowledge that Bumper uses a third-party payment processor to process credit card payments on Our behalf, and when You supply payment information in connection with a purchase, You agree that Bumper is not responsible for the security of such information when it is in the control of the third-party payment processor.

You specifically acknowledge and agree that failure to use the Site’s services does not constitute a basis for refusing to pay subscription or other fees. Upon prior written notice to You (with e-mail constituting sufficient written notice), Bumper reserves the right in its sole discretion to change its pricing and/or billing practices. If You do not agree with these changes, You are always free to cancel Your subscription, but you recognize that You will remain responsible for timely payment of any and all fees that You have already incurred (including any applicable late fees). We will understand that Your continued use of Your subscription following Our providing notice of any change constitutes and means that you consent to any and all such changes and by not terminating Your account within seven (7) days after delivery of such notice, You formally agree to comply with, and be bound by, such new pricing or billing practices.

If You fail to make any scheduled payment for accrued fees, such overdue amounts may be subject to interest charges in the amount of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, compounded monthly, or the maximum amount permitted by law. Your account may be deactivated, and access to the Site denied, for non-payment.

Additionally, You acknowledge and agree that We may refuse to accept or may cancel any order, whether or not the order has been confirmed, for any or no reason (e.g., orders we suspect to be fraudulent, associated with fraudulent activity, previously fraudulent order history or previous credit card disputes), and without liability to You or anyone else.
