- Services. POMCAR is a web-based pre-owned or new vehicle inspection matching and reporting platform enabling consumers who submit a vehicle inspection request within the continental United States, and which is accepted by POMCAR, (each, a “Customer”) to be matched with a vehicle inspection technician (each, a “Technician”) who will then execute a “Standard Limited Vehicle Inspection” (see Section 2b hereafter) at a location designated by the vehicle seller’s (each, a “Seller”), the results of which will be compiled in a vehicle inspection report by POMCAR (each, a “POMCAR® Vehicle Report™”) and provided to the Customer. Each POMCAR Vehicle Report, which will be accessible to the Customer for a thirty (30) day period to minimize the likelihood that the information contained therein becomes outdated, will convey information related to vehicle representation by Seller, safety and physical deficiencies (the above services, individually or collectively, the “POMCAR Services” or “Services”).
- Standard Limited Vehicle Inspection; No Guarantee or Warranty. POMCAR Technicians will perform a Standard Limited Vehicle Inspection, and the Customer understand and hereby agrees that the condition of the vehicle may change after the inspection takes place, and/or a more comprehensive mechanical inspection may present issues that were not identified during the Standard Limited Vehicle Inspection (e.g.., not being able to put the vehicle on a lift, not removing tires, engine components, etc). POMCAR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE OR THE SERVICES PERFORMED BY THE TECHNICIAN THROUGH THE USE OF OUR SITE OR OUR SERVICES.

A majority of those whose applications are accepted are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (“ASE”), an independent non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of vehicle repair and service by testing and certifying automotive professionals.

- Seller unwilling to permit inspection
- Refund Policy.
- Should you decide to cancel a request before the inspection is scheduled, you will receive a 50% refund of the inspection cost.
- Once scheduled by a POMCAR Technician, we cannot offer a refund as we have commissioned a tech to perform the inspection.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION CONTAINS AN AGREEMENT THAT YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.You and POMCAR agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen, or may arise, between you and POMCAR (including any claim or dispute between you and a third-party agent of POMCAR) that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of this Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of POMCAR or its agents, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Dispute Resolution Section.
- Applicable Law. You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and POMCAR, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement.
- Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND POMCAR AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND POMCAR AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
- Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Arbitration Agreement above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of Florida in and for the County in which POMCAR has established its principal office. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the State of Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. You also agree that: (i) our Services shall be deemed solely based in the State of Florida; and (ii) our Services shall be deemed passive Services that do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us and our assigns, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the State of Florida.
- No Waiver. POMCAR’S failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing.
- Law Enforcement.
- POMCAR is committed to cooperating with law enforcement while respecting each individual’s right to privacy. If POMCAR receives a request for user account information from a government agency investigating criminal activity, we will review the request to be certain that it satisfies all legal requirements before releasing information to the requesting agency.
- Furthermore, under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2702(b)(8) and 2702(c)(4) (Voluntary Disclosure Of Customer Communications or Records), POMCAR may disclose user account information to law enforcement, without a subpoena, court order, or search warrant, in response to a valid emergency when we believe that doing so is necessary to prevent death or serious physical harm to someone. POMCAR will not release more information than it prudently believes is necessary to prevent harm in an emergency situation.
