Important Notices and Disclaimers
Dealix Corporation (“Dealix”) owns and operates a Web-based service for car buyers known as the Dealix New Car Buying Service. This process is being syndicated here as the AutoTrader.com New Car Buying Service. Regardless of syndication status, the process is referred to throughout this document as the "Dealix New Car Buying Service".
What "InvoiceDealers" Does And Does Not Mean
INVOICEDEALERS IS A TRADEMARK ONLY, AND DOES NOT IMPLY THAT ANY DEALER DOING
BUSINESS WITH EITHER DEALIX OR A PARTNER OF DEALIX CAN OR WILL OFFER ANY VEHICLE
TO ANY CUSTOMER AT “INVOICE” PRICE, “BELOW MARKET” PRICE, OR AT ANY SPECIFIED
PRICE. All prices quoted, whether immediately or upon customer contact, and
whether through a Dealix Certified Dealer or a Dealix Trusted Partner-affiliated
dealer, are at the sole discretion of the selling franchised car dealer.
What "Invoice" Does And Does Not Mean
"Invoice" and "Dealer Invoice" DO NOT REFLECT THE FINAL COST OF THE VEHICLE TO
THE DEALER. When used anywhere within the Dealix New Car Buying Service, they
are useful solely, and intended solely, as a publicly available and agreed-upon
COMPARATIVE TOOL with which different dealers' pricing can be fairly evaluated.
As a result, Dealix New Car Buying Service process listings DO NOT INDICATE OR
PRESUME TO INDICATE that any vehicle cost any listed dealer any specific amount.
It is Dealix’s intent and policy to be in good-faith compliance with
state laws regulating automotive advertising. Therefore, "invoice-based"
advertising is NOT AVAILABLE to dealers in restricted states.
The Dealix
New Car Buying Service is a marketing service for automotive dealerships who
may optionally select to offer fixed, up-front pricing to AutoTrader.com
shoppers. Due to the rapidly changing nature of the auto retailing environment,
dealer agreements with Dealix, if any, are considered temporary and non-binding
on the dealer, DO NOT ALWAYS COVER ALL MODELS, AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE OR
REVOCATION WITHOUT NOTICE AT ANY TIME. Dealix and AutoTrader.com have no
control over whether or not a vehicle will be available at all, or will be made
available by any listed dealer at the listed price at any given time. Although
every effort is made to keep the listings current, Dealix takes no
responsibility for outdated or superceded information found in the Dealix New
Car Buying Service.
Trusted Partner Buying Service Terms And Conditions
