THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

INSURANCE AND LIABILITY.

 

We will maintain insurance coverage in the amount of the applicable state motor vehicle minimum financial responsibility requirements.  However, insurance laws may vary from state to state, and We recommend that You consult with Your insurance agent before using the Envoy Vehicle Services.  You are encouraged to obtain personal insurance coverage that covers Your liabilities before using the Envoy Vehicle Services. You should review any insurance documents You have prior to use of the Envoy Vehicle Services as We have only minimum financial responsibility.

 

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE MINIMUM COVERAGE THAT WE PROVIDE STILL REQUIRES THAT YOU PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OF $7,500 BEFORE THE INSURER WILL PROVIDE ANY COVERAGE UNDER THE POLICY.

 

You will report the occurrence of any accident, damage or loss, including theft, of an Envoy Vehicle while in Your use or possession to Us and to the local law enforcement agency as soon as You become aware of such incident; however, at minimum You will report any such incident to Us or the police no later than twelve (12) hours after learning of such incident. As part of such report, You will provide a written description of the incident and the insurance information of the other parties involved, if applicable.  You will promptly provide a copy of such report to Us. You will make a reasonable effort to obtain evidence from any witnesses to the incident, if applicable.

 

You agree to fully cooperate in any investigation by law enforcement or that We may choose to conduct if an Envoy Vehicle is damaged in any way.  You, as appropriate, will immediately send each request, demand, order, notice, summons or other pleading You receive in connection with any incident involving an Envoy Vehicle to Us.  You will assume any obligation, make or commit to make any payment or incur any expense on Our behalf without Our prior written consent.

 

To the extent permitted by applicable law, We reserve the right to hold You fully responsible for all damage, loss, claims and liability arising from Your use or possession of an Envoy Vehicle, including, but not limited to: (a) physical or mechanical damage to the Envoy Vehicles whether or not You are at fault, (b) loss due to theft, (c) physical damage resulting from vandalism, (d) bodily injury of You, Your passenger or a third party, (e) third party claims, (f) actual charges for towing, storage and impound fees paid by Us, (g) administrative charges including the cost of appraisal and other costs and expenses incident to the damage or loss, (h) if applicable, any diminished value to the Envoy Vehicle; and (i) all mechanical damage to the Envoy Vehicle related to an accident or Your abuse or neglect of the Envoy Vehicle.  You are responsibility for such damage or loss will include: (a) the lesser of: (i) the actual and reasonable costs that We incur to repair the Envoy Vehicle or that We would incur if We chose to repair the Envoy Vehicle, or (ii) the fair market value of the Envoy Vehicle immediately before the damage occurred less any net disposal proceeds; and (b) Our actual charges for towing, storage, and impound.

Where permitted by law, by signing this Agreement, you reject Uninsured, Underinsured and Supplemental No-Fault or PIP coverages.  Where we are required to provide such coverage, you hereby select the minimum limits required by law.

 

INDEMNIFICATION.

 

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU WILL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS AND REIMBURSE US AND OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM AND FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, INCURRED BY ANY OF SUCH PARTIES OR PAID BY ANY OF THEM TO ANY PERSON IN RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY ARISING FROM (I) YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS; (II) YOU PROVIDING US WITH FALSE, INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE INFORMATION WHEN YOU CREATE AN ACCOUNT; (III) ANY DAMAGE TO OR CAUSED BY YOUR USE OF AN ENVOY VEHICLE WHILE THE ENVOY VEHICLE IS CHECKED OUT TO YOUR ACCOUNT, INCLUDING CLAIMS OF OR LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES; (IV) ANY CRIMINAL, WILLFUL OR NEGLIGENT CONDUCT BY YOU.  You may present a claim to Your insurance carrier for such events or losses; but in any event, You shall have final responsibility to all indemnified persons for all such losses. You alone are responsible for any violation of these Terms by You. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You and, in such case; You agree to cooperate with Our defense of such claim.

 

CUSTOMER INFORMATION AND USE OF GPS.

 

We have an interest in tracking and locating the whereabouts of each Envoy Vehicle and, as applicable, monitoring the level of each Envoy Vehicle’s electric charge and behavior in the Envoy Vehicle. Each Envoy Vehicle is equipped with a video recording device that may, at various times, be used to record actions and behavior within the Envoy Vehicle or in the surrounding areas outside of the Envoy Vehicles.  The Envoy Vehicle is also equipped with GPS tracking systems and other telematics tracking systems and We may monitor and retain each Envoy Vehicle’s location, electric charge status, fuel level, mileage and other Envoy Vehicle and driving information at any time. In addition, there may be third party operators of the GPS or telematics systems, or affiliates of such third parties who may also have access to the location of each Envoy Vehicle or access to other information supplied by the GPS or telematics system in each Vehicle. If You use the Envoy Vehicle Services, You acknowledge and agree that You do not have any expectation of privacy while using an Envoy Vehicle, including location privacy, route privacy, speed privacy or privacy in an Envoy Vehicle’s operational systems.  Envoy may change the way in which it monitors the Envoy Vehicle’s GPS or telematics systems at any time and will notify You of such change. Information gained from GPS and other telematics tracking systems while an Envoy Vehicle is in Your possession may be retained and used on an anonymous basis by Us for business or research purposes related to improving Our products and services or for any other lawful purpose. The maps, directions and location advice provided by the GPS in each Envoy Vehicle may not be accurate and are not guaranteed by Us or any other party. You should use Your common sense and best judgment when operating an Envoy Vehicle and should not rely solely on the GPS contained within such Envoy Vehicle.

 

LOCAL LAWS; EXPORT CONTROL.

 

We control and operate the Services from Our headquarters in the United States of America and the entirety of the Services may not be appropriate or available for use in other locations.  If You use the Services outside the United States of America, You are solely responsible for following applicable local laws.

 

FEEDBACK.

 

Any submissions by You to Us (e.g., comments, questions, suggestions, materials – collectively, “Feedback”) through any type of communication whatsoever (e.g., call, fax, email) will be treated as both non-confidential and non-proprietary.  You hereby assign all right, title, and interest in, and We are free to use, without any attribution or compensation to You, any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property and proprietary rights contained in the Feedback, whether or not patentable, for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, having manufactured, licensing, marketing, and selling, directly or indirectly, products and services using such Feedback.  You understand and agree that We are not obligated to use, display, reproduce, or distribute any such ideas, know-how, concepts, or techniques contained in the Feedback, and You have no right to compel such use, display, reproduction, or distribution.

 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

 

Please Read This Provision Carefully.  It Affects Your Legal Rights.

This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between You and Us.  Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to You (such as Our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever You also assert claims against Us in the same proceeding.

 

This Provision provides that all disputes between You and Us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of These Terms constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury.  To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means You would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions).  EVERYONE AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

 

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

 

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by emailing to Us at info@envoythere.com the following information: (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) A written description of Your Claim, and (4) A description of the specific relief You seek. If We do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving Your notification, then You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration.  You may pursue Your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

 

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

 

Notwithstanding the above, Your or We may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”).  You may opt-out of this Provision by emailing Us at info@envoythere.com the following information: (1) Your name; (2) Your address; (3) A clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with Us through arbitration. Either way, We will not take any decision You make personally. In fact, We promise that Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with Us.  But, We do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

​

Arbitration Policy and Procedures

 

If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either You or We may initiate arbitration proceedings.  The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

​

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply.  In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply.  The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

​

Because the Services and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes.  However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

 

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding.  The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – You or We may initiate arbitration in either Los Angeles, CA or the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address.  In the event that You select the latter, We may transfer the arbitration to Los Angeles, CA so long as We agree to pay any additional fees or costs which the arbitrator determines You incur as a result of the transfer.

 

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as You place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, We will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, You will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses.  In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if You provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration, You will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

 

Class Action Waiver

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both You and We specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration.  If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You.  Neither You, nor any other user of the Services can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

 

Jury Waiver

 

You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms, You and We are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court.  In the absence of this Provision, You and We might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions).  Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.

​

Severability

 

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect.  If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.

 

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of Your account with Us or Our affiliates and Your discontinued use of the Services.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, We agree that if We make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), You may reject any such change and require Us to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between Us arises.

 

GENERAL.

 

Certain violations of these Terms, as determined solely by Us, may justify immediate termination of Your access to the Services without prior notice to You.  The Federal Arbitration Act, California state law and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms.  Foreign laws do not apply. Except for disputes subject to arbitration as described above, any disputes relating to these Terms or the Services will be heard in the courts located in Los Angeles County, California.  If any of these Terms are deemed inconsistent with applicable law, then such term(s) shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. By choosing at any time not to enforce any of these Terms, We are not waiving Our rights.  These Terms are the entire agreement between You and Us and, therefore, supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between Everyone about the Services. The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by You, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.
