Use of CaroInspection

  1. Right to Refuse Service or Cancel Order. We are not obligated to accept any order or request for an inspection or other services.  We reserve the right to refuse service, or to cancel any order for any reason at any time.  If we cancel an order for any reason other than your breach of this agreement, we will refund any payment you made.
  2. No Offer. Nothing on this Site or related Mobile Applications shall be construed as an offer or promise to make any CaroInspection service or product or the services or products of any third party available to you. By acquiring the self-reported information, you enter and allowing the entry of your order, neither CaroInspection nor associated third parties are attempting to sell services or products in any jurisdiction in which we or they are not authorized to do so.

 

  1. Cancellation, Refund Policy. If you cancel your order and notify us via telephone at (619) 955-9535, or via email to support@caroinspection.com, before the inspector has started to travel to the inspection site, we will refund the amount you paid minus a $20.00 cancellation fee.  Once an inspector has claimed an assignment a $40.00 cancellation fee applies.  Once an inspector has started to travel to the inspection site, however, there are no refunds. 
  2. Order Fulfillment. We make every reasonable effort to issue your inspection report within the estimated timeframe quoted for your order, and most orders should be completed within that period. However, because our ability to do so is often dependent on a variety of factors such as, for example, order volume in the area, or difficulty in making arrangements to meet with a requester of inspection or other necessary party, we cannot guarantee that the inspection report will be completed and available to you within that time frame or within any specific time frame.
  3. No-Shows. If the inspector arrives at the inspection site and the seller or other party who has agreed to meet us is not there or does not have the item or property available for the inspection, you will be charged a no-show fee equal of $60.
  4. Use of subcontractors. We may, without notice, delegate, assign, or subcontract the inspection service to any person, entity, agent, independent contractor, or subcontractor.  CaroInspection inspectors are independent contractors, subcontractors of Caro Automotive, LLC.
  5. Authorized Communications.No person other than the person who places the order shall be entitled to issue instructions or in any way communicate with CaroInspection regarding the order. In order to minimize the opportunity for miscommunication, you may not communicate directly, by any means, with your inspector (“Caro Inspection Inspector”. “CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC Inspector”).
  6. Entry Upon Private Property.If fulfillment of your order requires us to enter upon private property, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING THE CONSENT AND PERMISSION OF ALL LEGALLY NECESSARY PARTIES (OWNER, TENANT, ETC.) AND PROVIDING CONFIRMATION THEREOF TO US. You hereby indemnify and hold us harmless for any claims, liabilities, judgments, costs, expenses, or losses of any kind whatsoever we might suffer in connection with entry upon private property at your request in fulfillment of your order. You agree to provide written documentation of ownership or other rights if we so request.
  7. No Warranty.Our CaroInspection Inspectors work very hard to make sure that the information they report to you is accurate and complete. However, there is no warranty as to the information in the report you receive. In addition, because we typically do not take possession of the item or property, we have no control over substitutions or changes that could possibly occur after the inspection is made. We provide no warranty for any alterations, changes in condition, or damages to the property being inspected that occur subsequent to the inspection. CaroInspection.com (Caro Automotive LLC) does not guarantee or warrant the condition or operation of any item or property upon delivery to you. You are also bound by the provisions of the Disclaimer found elsewhere on this website.
  8. Not Experts; No Authentication.Every CaroInspection Report and the information contained therein is based solely upon the lay observations and opinions of the individual or individuals who process your order and complete the report. You understand that the person or persons that perform the CaroInspection service for you are not experts in any field, and neither possess nor apply any special or specific skill, knowledge, or expertise to their observations and report.  Your personal observations and opinions might differ from those contained in your CaroInspection Report. The photographs contained in your report may differ from photographs that would be taken by a professional photographer. We do not determine whether an item is authentic or fake. We do not perform appraisals or issue value opinions of any kind, and any such information contained in your CaroInspection Report should be not be relied upon for any such purpose. Your CaroInspection (Caro Automotive LLC) Inspector may ask the seller to demonstrate that the item is in basic working order (if you ordered that service). Your CaroInspection (Caro Automotive LLC) Inspector, however, is not an expert, and will not perform any diagnostic tests. Only the most basic functions which the seller chooses to demonstrate will be observed.
  9. No Endorsement or Recommendation. Nothing contained in a report that we issue, or what we might say to you, constitutes a recommendation to bid or purchase or not to bid or purchase, or an endorsement or recommendation of any kind whatsoever.
  10. Scope of Order. CaroInspection is under no obligation to report any facts, observations, information or events that are outside of the express scope of the order and which are not included in the services offered by us as described on this site or otherwise agreed to by us in writing.
  11. Scope of Auto Inspection Services. The type of information you will receive when you order an auto or other type of vehicle inspection report depends upon the type of inspection you request, and the types of inspections that we offer are listed and explained on this website.  CaroInspection is under no obligation to provide any data or information in any form, report any facts, observations, or events that are outside of the express scope of the accepted order you place, or which are not included in the services offered by us as described on this website. 

While it is possible that the person who performs your inspection might happen to be, or once have been, a certified automotive technician, you understand that the person that performs the inspection service for you may not be so certified, or ever have been, and may not be an expert in any field, and neither possesses nor applies any special or specific skill, knowledge, or expertise to his or her observations. The inspection will not be a safety inspection or a substitute for any safety, emissions, or other inspection required by law.  The inspector will not perform and diagnostic tests that would be performed by an automotive or other technician or mechanic.  We do not determine whether a vehicle or any portion thereof is authentic or fake. We do not appraise or provide advice on the value of any vehicle. 

The observations made and reported to you reflect the inspector’s, or our, personal lay observations and opinions based upon the observations made by the inspector at the time the inspection was made, or by us when compiling the inspection report.

Our inspectors work very hard to make sure that the information they report to you is accurate and complete. However, there is no warranty as to the information in the report you receive.  The inspector will not clean or disassemble the vehicle or take other steps to mitigate these factors. In addition, we have no control over substitutions or changes that could possibly occur after the inspection is made. We are not responsible for any alterations, changes in condition, or damages to the vehicle being inspected that occur subsequent to the inspection. CaroInspection.com does not guarantee or warranty the condition or operation of any vehicle upon delivery to you. The inspection report is also subject to the provisions of the Disclaimer found elsewhere on this website.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Please read this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It’s part of your contract with CAROINSPECTION.COM, CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

  1. Informal Resolution. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by writing to our customer service department at support@CaroInspection.com or submit a contact form at caroautomotive.com/contact. In the unlikely event that our customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction; these terms govern dispute resolution between us.
  2. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes in connection with the Agreement or the use of any product or service provided by CAROINSPECTION.COM, CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and CAROINSPECTION.COM, CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC, and to any of CaroInspection’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third party vendors, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Agreement.

33(a). Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of this arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with this Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Rules”). The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Any hearing will be held in a location within one hundred (100) miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States (in which case hearing will be held in the capital of your country), and unless the parties agree otherwise. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

33(b). Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and CAROINSPECTION.COM, CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and CAROINSPECTION.COM, CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC.

33(c). Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and CAROINSPECTION.COM, CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND CAROINSPECTION.COM, CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

33(d). Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court located in California, San Diego.

33(e). 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out within 30 days of purchasing a Membership. If you send this notice, then the Arbitration Agreement will not apply to either party and you must litigate pursuant to these terms. If you do not send this notice, then you agree to be bound by this Arbitration Agreement.

33(f). Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

33(g). Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with CAROINSPECTION.COM, CARO AUTOMOTIVE LLC.
