Terms of Use

AutoFinder.com

Effective Date: October 1, 2026

This version replaces the Terms of Use effective May 31, 2017, as updated November 15, 2019.

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at autofinder.com, including its pages, features, tools, and services (collectively, the “Site”). The Site is operated by Detroit Trading Services, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company and a subsidiary of Detroit Trading Company (“Detroit Trading,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Site, or by submitting information to us through the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site.

PLEASE READ SECTION 17 CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES THAT MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND DETROIT TRADING BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, AND IT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 17.8.

When used in these Terms, “Detroit Trading” includes Detroit Trading Company, Detroit Trading Services, LLC, and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents.

2. Who We Are and What the Site Does

Detroit Trading operates a digital automotive marketplace, similar to a live version of a newspaper’s automotive classifieds. The Site allows you to research vehicles, view vehicle listings offered by independent dealers and sellers, compare pricing and model information, estimate financing, and submit requests to be contacted about vehicles that interest you.

When you submit a request through the Site, we transmit the information you provide to one or more vehicle dealers, dealer groups, original equipment manufacturers, or other business partners so that they can respond to you. We receive compensation in connection with these transmissions — that is, for making a connection. We do not participate in negotiating or executing a sale, and we do not receive any payments or commissions based on the sale itself. Our Privacy Policy describes this in detail.

You understand and agree that:

• Detroit Trading is not a dealership, broker, agent, administrator, financer, or insurer with respect to any vehicle, whether new or used;
• Detroit Trading is not a party to any agreement between a buyer and any dealer, seller, lender, or lessor, and is not a party to any vehicle sale, lease, or financing transaction;
• Detroit Trading does not own, inspect, possess, or control any vehicle listed on the Site, and does not set, negotiate, approve, or guarantee any dealer’s pricing, terms, inventory, or availability;
• Detroit Trading does not control the conduct of dealers, sellers, lenders, inventory providers, or other users of the Site, or the representations any of them make; and
• content on the Site is provided for informational purposes only, and we make no guarantee as to the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or reliability of any material or information on the Site.

These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and Detroit Trading. Please read them carefully.

3. Eligibility

The Site is intended for use by residents of the United States who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and of legal age to enter into a binding contract and to purchase and operate a motor vehicle in their state of residence. The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are not eligible, do not use the Site.

4. Changes to These Terms

We may change these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised Terms on the Site and update the Effective Date above. Changes apply prospectively and take effect when posted, except that we will provide at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice of any material change to Section 17 (Dispute Resolution), and any such change will not apply to a dispute of which we had actual notice before the change took effect.

Your continued use of the Site after revised Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of them. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

5. Vehicle Listings and Pricing

Vehicles shown on the Site are offered by independent dealers and sellers, not by Detroit Trading. Prices are supplied by those dealers and sellers and may change.

Each listing carries an “About these prices” link next to the price. It opens a disclosure that tells you what the price shown does and does not include for that vehicle, and the date on which the dealer supplied it.

Unless the disclosure for a vehicle says otherwise, the price shown is the price the dealer supplied and may not include dealer-installed accessories, dealer preparation, documentation fees, or other dealer charges. If you have questions about dealer charges, please contact the dealer.

Where a dealer has represented to Detroit Trading that the price shown includes the vehicle price together with dealer-installed accessories, dealer preparation, documentation fees, and, for new vehicles, destination charges, and that the dealer will honor that price, the “About these prices” disclosure for that vehicle says so.

Regardless of the above, government taxes, title, license, and registration fees are not included and are payable at the time of purchase.

Detroit Trading does not set, negotiate, or guarantee dealer pricing; is not a party to any transaction between a consumer and a dealer or seller; and is not a dealer, broker, or agent for the sale of any vehicle. Confirm the price with the dealer or seller before purchase. The dealer is responsible for the accuracy of the information it supplies for display on the Site.

Detroit Trading is not responsible for the condition, performance, quality, history, or legal status of any vehicle, good, or service listed on the Site. All transactions are conducted by and fulfilled through dealers and sellers that are not owned by or affiliated with Detroit Trading.

6. Reference Pricing and Model Information

Some pages on the Site present manufacturer suggested retail prices (“MSRP”), dealer invoice prices, and related vehicle information for a representative year, make, model, and trim rather than for a specific vehicle offered for sale. This information is licensed from a third-party vehicle data provider and is provided for reference and informational purposes only.

Detroit Trading does not verify this reference pricing information and makes no representation or warranty as to its accuracy, completeness, or currency. It is not supplied by a dealer, is not an offer, and does not represent the price at which any vehicle can be purchased. The figures shown are for a vehicle with standard equipment and no optional equipment, and exclude government taxes, title, license, registration, optional equipment, dealer-installed accessories, and dealer charges.

Dealer invoice price is the amount a manufacturer bills a dealer for a vehicle. It is not the dealer’s final cost; dealers may also receive holdbacks, manufacturer incentives, and other allowances that reduce what they ultimately pay. Actual transaction prices vary by dealer, vehicle, options, incentives, and location, and may be higher or lower than the figures shown.

Vehicle images accompanying this information are stock images provided by EVOX Productions, LLC and do not depict a specific vehicle offered for sale.

Detroit Trading does not set vehicle prices, is not a party to any transaction between a consumer and a dealer or seller, and is not a dealer, broker, or agent for the sale of any vehicle.

7. Payment and Financing Estimates

The Site may display estimated monthly payments, financing terms, annual percentage rates, down payment amounts, trade-in values, or similar figures. These are illustrations calculated from assumptions — including the vehicle price, which comes from the dealer or from the representative vehicle information described above, and an assumed loan term, down payment, trade-in value, and annual percentage rate — that are displayed with the estimate, and they change if you change the assumptions. They are not offers of credit, quotes, approvals, or commitments; they are not supplied or approved by any dealer, lender, or lessor; and no dealer, lender, or lessor is bound by them.

Your actual terms are determined by the provider of credit, whether through a dealership or otherwise, and depend on your creditworthiness, the lender or lessor, the vehicle, applicable incentives, your location, and other factors, and will be set out in the documents you receive from the dealer and lender. Estimates on the Site do not include government taxes, title, license, or registration fees; dealer-supplied options or accessories; or other dealer charges or fees.

Detroit Trading is not a creditor, lender, lessor, broker, or arranger of credit; it does not accept or process credit applications through the Site; and it does not make credit decisions.

8. Third-Party Dealers, Sellers, and Content

The Site displays information, listings, descriptions, photographs, and other content supplied by dealers, sellers, inventory providers, manufacturers, and other third parties. Detroit Trading does not create, verify, endorse, or adopt that content, and is not responsible for such content.

Any dealings you have with a dealer, seller, lender, or other third party you find through the Site — including any purchase, lease, financing, trade-in, or service transaction, and any dispute arising from one — are solely between you and that party. Detroit Trading has no responsibility or liability for those dealings.

9. Site Content and Intellectual Property

Except as otherwise indicated, the Site and its contents are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws in the United States and other countries. Detroit Trading and its parent own all worldwide rights, title, and interest in and to the Site, other than content licensed from or owned by third parties. Site contents are used under license, in accordance with industry standards, or under the applicable terms disclosed by the content providers.

You may view information on the Site and incidentally create an electronic copy for your own informational, non-commercial use. No part of the information on the Site may otherwise be redistributed, copied, reproduced, scraped, harvested, or used to build or train any dataset, database, model, or automated system without our prior written consent.

Detroit Trading, Detroit Trading Exchange, Detroit Trading Services, DTC, AutoFinder, Rydeshopper, IncentiveFinder, mycarmatch, Deal Finder, and Car Deal Finder are trade dress, service marks, and/or trademarks of Detroit Trading Company. Manufacturer and dealer trademarks are used under license or in accordance with industry standards.

Certain automotive data and content displayed on the Site is licensed from third-party providers, is the copyright of those providers, and is protected under United States and international copyright law. Any unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, recording, or modification of that content is strictly prohibited.

Certain automotive images and video on the Site are owned by EVOX Productions, LLC and are protected under United States and international copyright law.

The posting of information or materials to the Site does not waive any proprietary right in them and does not transfer any rights to any user or third party, except as expressly provided in these Terms.

10. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, Detroit Trading will respond to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Site when those claims are properly reported to us.

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and believe that material on the Site infringes your copyright, please send a written notice containing the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent, Detroit Trading Legal Department (Copyright Agent), at optout@autofinder.com with the subject line “Attn: Legal — Copyright Takedown Request,” or by mail to the address in Section 19.

We may terminate the access of any user who is determined to be a repeat infringer.

11. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

• use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, or other automated means to access, monitor, copy, or index the Site or its contents, except as permitted by our robots.txt file;
• use the Site or any content from it to build, populate, train, fine-tune, or evaluate any database, dataset, machine learning model, artificial intelligence system, or similar automated process;
• submit false, misleading, incomplete, or another person’s information through any form on the Site, or submit a request on behalf of a person who has not authorized it;
• interfere with, disrupt, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any related systems or networks;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, access control, rate limiting, or usage restriction on the Site;
• use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law, including any law governing telemarketing, unsolicited commercial communications, consumer protection, or privacy; or
• resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Site or any content on it.

12. Communications and Consent to Contact

When you submit a request through a form on the Site, the consent you give is described at the point of submission, in the disclosure that appears with the submit button. That disclosure — including the identity of the parties who may contact you, the methods by which they may contact you, and any consent to automated or prerecorded calls or text messages — is the consent that governs. These Terms do not create, expand, or substitute for it, and merely visiting the Site is not consent to be contacted.

Where you have given that consent, we and the parties to whom we transmit your information may contact you about vehicles, financing, leasing, service, and related products and offers, using the contact information you provide. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to marketing contact is not a condition of any purchase.

You may withdraw consent at any time and by any reasonable means. You may reply STOP to any text message, use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or contact us as described in our Privacy Policy. We will honor a request to revoke consent to calls or text messages within ten (10) business days of receipt, and will stop marketing email promptly and in any event within ten (10) business days. Withdrawing consent with Detroit Trading does not withdraw consent you have given to a dealer, lender, or other party who has contacted you; you must contact those parties directly.

Please see our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, disclose, sell, and share information.

13. User Submissions

Any comments, feedback, suggestions, ideas, photographs, or other materials you submit or offer in connection with your use of the Site (collectively, “Submissions”), other than information governed by our Privacy Policy, may be used by us without restriction. You grant Detroit Trading a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual license to use, reproduce, modify, display, and distribute your Submissions in any medium in connection with our business. You retain whatever ownership you have in your Submissions. We are not obligated to hold any Submission in confidence, to pay compensation for it, or to respond to it.

Nothing in this Section restricts your ability to review, assess, or comment on the Site or on Detroit Trading, or requires you to assign any intellectual property right in any such review.

You represent that your Submissions do not violate any right of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, patent, or other proprietary right, and do not contain libelous, unlawful, abusive, or obscene material. You are solely responsible for the content of your Submissions.

If a Submission contains your or another person’s name, likeness, voice, or biographical information, you grant, and will cause that person to grant, Detroit Trading a transferable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that information in any medium in connection with the Site.

We treat Submissions as non-confidential. Do not send us information you consider confidential or proprietary through the Site.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, LISTINGS, PRICING, ESTIMATES, MATERIALS, AND SERVICES ON IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.

DETROIT TRADING MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AS TO THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SITE OR ANY MATERIALS ON IT AND ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE CONTENT OF THE SITE OR THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES. DETROIT TRADING SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY DUTY TO UPDATE THE INFORMATION ON THE SITE.

DESCRIPTIONS OF, OR REFERENCES TO, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, DEALERS, OR PUBLICATIONS ON THE SITE DO NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT. DETROIT TRADING MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO ANY VEHICLE LISTING OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OFFERED BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

The Site could include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER DETROIT TRADING NOR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR MANAGING THE SITE WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (1) YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE; (2) ANY COMMUNICATION, MEETING, OR INTERACTION WITH ANY DEALER, SELLER, LENDER, BUYER, AFFILIATE PARTNER, SERVICE PROVIDER, OR OTHER USER; OR (3) ANY VEHICLE TRANSACTION — WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT DETROIT TRADING HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL DETROIT TRADING’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THE SITE IS PROVIDED TO YOU WITHOUT CHARGE, AND THIS LIMITATION REFLECTS THAT.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for willful misconduct, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including under California Civil Code Section 1668. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

16. Indemnification by User

YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD DETROIT TRADING HARMLESS FROM ANY LIABILITY, LOSS, CLAIM, DAMAGE, AND EXPENSE, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY AND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO (1) YOUR BREACH OF THESE TERMS; (2) YOUR MISUSE OF THE SITE OR ITS SERVICES; (3) YOUR SUBMISSIONS; OR (4) YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY LAW OR THE RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY. THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIM YOU BRING AGAINST DETROIT TRADING AND DOES NOT SHIFT DETROIT TRADING’S COSTS OR ATTORNEYS’ FEES IN ANY PROCEEDING BETWEEN YOU AND DETROIT TRADING.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

17. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS.

17.1 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration or any other proceeding, you and Detroit Trading each agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. You must send a written Notice of Dispute to Detroit Trading Services, LLC, Attn: Legal — Notice of Dispute, 13335 15 Mile Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48312-4271, or to optout@autofinder.com, describing the nature and basis of the claim and the relief sought, and including your name, address, and the email address and telephone number associated with your use of the Site. We will send any Notice of Dispute to the contact information we have for you. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for sixty (60) days after the Notice is received. This requirement is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration, and the applicable statute of limitations is tolled while it runs.

17.2 Agreement to Arbitrate

Except as provided in Section 17.5, you and Detroit Trading agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Detroit Trading arising out of or relating to the Site, these Terms, our Privacy Policy, any communication you receive from Detroit Trading or that Detroit Trading is alleged to have caused as a result of your use of the Site, or the relationship between us — whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether arising before, during, or after the termination of these Terms — will be resolved by binding individual arbitration and not in court. This agreement to arbitrate covers claims between you and Detroit Trading only. It does not cover, and Detroit Trading is not a party to, any dispute solely between you and a dealer, seller, lender, or other third party, and nothing in this Section requires you to arbitrate such a dispute.

This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.

Questions about the interpretation, applicability, and scope of this arbitration agreement, and about whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration, are for the arbitrator to decide, except that a court has exclusive authority to decide whether these Terms were formed and whether the class action waiver in Section 17.6 is enforceable.

17.3 Arbitration Procedure

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect when the arbitration is commenced, as modified by this Section. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available at www.adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties will agree on an alternative administrator, or a court of competent jurisdiction will appoint one.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any in-person hearing will take place in the county of your residence or, at your election, will be conducted by telephone or videoconference or on the basis of written submissions. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award to you individually under applicable law, including declaratory or injunctive relief in your favor, and must issue a reasoned written decision. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.4 Arbitration Costs

Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees is governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Where those rules require you to pay a filing fee, Detroit Trading will reimburse that fee for any claim with a value of $10,000 or less, unless the arbitrator determines the claim is frivolous. Each party is otherwise responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs, except where a statute or the arbitrator’s award provides otherwise.

17.5 Exceptions to Arbitration

The following are not subject to the agreement to arbitrate:

• any claim that may be brought in a small claims court with jurisdiction over the claim, so long as it remains an individual action in that court;
• any action by either party seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use of, or infringement of rights in, intellectual property;
• any claim for public injunctive relief brought under California law, which shall be severed from arbitration and stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration of the arbitrable claims; and
• any right or claim that applicable law provides may not be waived, to the extent applicable law prohibits its waiver or its submission to arbitration.

Nothing in this Section prevents you from reporting a concern to, or participating in a proceeding brought by, any federal, state, or local government agency.

17.6 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND DETROIT TRADING AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 17.7, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND IN NO EVENT MAY THE ARBITRATOR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. NOTHING IN SECTION 17.7 AUTHORIZES A CLASS PROCEEDING OR A JOINT AWARD; EACH DEMAND IS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY ON ITS OWN RECORD. IF THIS PARAGRAPH IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THAT CLAIM OR REQUEST IS SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND MAY BE BROUGHT IN COURT, AND THE REMAINING CLAIMS PROCEED IN ARBITRATION.

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND DETROIT TRADING EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

17.7 Coordinated Filings

If twenty-five (25) or more demands for arbitration raising substantially similar claims are filed against Detroit Trading by or with the assistance of the same law firm or coordinated group within a ninety (90) day period, the parties agree that the demands will be administered in sequential batches of no more than fifty (50), that each batch will be assigned to a single arbitrator, and that no further batch will be filed or fees incurred until the preceding batch is resolved or one hundred twenty (120) days have passed since that batch was assigned, whichever occurs first. The statute of limitations is tolled for all demands during this process. Nothing in this Section prevents any claimant from opting out under Section 17.8 or from proceeding in small claims court.

17.8 Your Right to Opt Out of Arbitration

You may opt out of the agreement to arbitrate and the class action waiver in Sections 17.2 through 17.7 by sending written notice within thirty (30) days after you first use the Site or, for users whose first use preceded the Effective Date of these Terms, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Send your notice to Detroit Trading Services, LLC, Attn: Legal — Arbitration Opt-Out, 13335 15 Mile Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48312-4271, or to optout@autofinder.com, stating your name, the email address and telephone number associated with your use of the Site, and that you are opting out of the arbitration agreement.

Opting out has no other effect on these Terms and will not affect your use of the Site or any relationship you have with Detroit Trading. If you opt out, Section 18 governs.

17.9 Survival

This Section survives the termination of these Terms and your use of the Site.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute between you and Detroit Trading are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 17. For any claim not subject to arbitration, you and Detroit Trading consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts located in Oakland County, Michigan — where Detroit Trading maintains its principal place of business at 691 N. Squirrel Road, Suite 250, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326 — and of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, and you consent to service of process outside those jurisdictions.

Nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection provision of the law of the state in which you reside.

19. General

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be, and the remainder of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. The exception is the class action waiver in Section 17.6, which is governed by its own terms.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of any other right. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by our authorized representative.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, change of control, or sale of assets.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with any consent disclosure presented to you at the point of form submission, constitute the entire agreement between you and Detroit Trading regarding your use of the Site. Our Privacy Policy is referenced in these Terms for your information and describes our privacy practices; it is not incorporated into these Terms as a contractual obligation, and nothing in it is intended to create a contractual right.

Electronic Records. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form is admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

Contact. Questions about these Terms may be directed to:
