These OfferUp Automotive Service Terms and Conditions (these “Service Terms”), together with any applicable Order Form(s) (“Agreement”), constitute a binding agreement between OfferUp Inc. (“OfferUp”) and the person or entity and their agents who purchase the Service (“Customer”) (each, a “Party”). By accessing or using the Service or by executing an Order Form that references these Service Terms, Customer agrees to be bound by these Service Terms and all terms incorporated by reference. If Customer does not agree to all of these Service Terms, they may not access or use the Service. In the event of any conflict between the terms of an Order Form or these Service Terms, the terms of the Order Form will control.

a. Access to the Service. OfferUp grants Customer a nonexclusive, nontransferable, worldwide right to access and use the Service during the Subscription Periods. By purchasing access to or otherwise using the Service, Customer agrees to pay the applicable service fees and to use the Service in compliance with these Service Terms and any documentation or policies provided by OfferUp that are applicable to the Service.

By enrolling in the Services, Customer acknowledges that (a) it will be given access to create a verified auto dealer account, from which Customer will be required to post all of their vehicle listings; (b) Customer is allowed to post one listing per vehicle on the OfferUp marketplace, and agrees not to create duplicate listings for the same vehicle; (c) it may only post their vehicle listings from its verified auto dealer account, not from any other OfferUp account (such as an employee, friend, or family member’s personal account); (d) it may take up to seven days for a new OfferUp Autos feed to become active after enrolling in the service and Customer may be contacted to seek approval before the feed is turned on; and (e) Customer’s verified auto dealer inventory feed will be the only method by which Customer can post vehicle listings on OfferUp, and any manual postings will be automatically deleted every time the inventory feed is synced with OfferUp’s system.
