DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Auto Data Direct’s service consists of proprietary programming and databases as well as proprietary programming and databases of “associate entities” such as the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), State motor vehicle databases and others. Auto Data Direct, Inc.’s system provides online tools to access motor vehicle records through state motor vehicle databases and the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS).
Auto Data Direct will provide a web-based interface for the User to electronically access motor vehicle information. In addition, Auto Data Direct may allow the User to create and print forms incorporating the obtained vehicle data.
Auto Data Direct Users understand and agree that the service is provided “AS- IS” and that neither Auto Data Direct, Inc., nor its associate entities assume responsibility for business or consequential damages caused directly or indirectly by use of the system including but not limited to deletion, mis- delivery, failure to store any User communications or timeliness of the data.
The User is responsible for obtaining access to the service as a qualified Auto Data Direct, Inc. User in good standing. Access to Auto Data Direct, Inc.’s services may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). The User is responsible for these fees and in addition, must provide and be responsible for all equipment necessary to access Auto Data Direct.
The User understands that all motor vehicle record fees will be paid in advance. The User is responsible for maintaining sufficient funds in their “pre-paid” account to pay for all services offered via Auto Data Direct. If there is a shortage of funds in the User’s account, then Auto Data Direct’s system will not process the transaction. Account balance information is available on the website at time of use. Accounts which have not been accessed for a period of more than six (6) months shall be subject to a $15.00 per month maintenance fee. This fee shall be deducted from any funds remaining in the pre-paid account. Following the depletion of these funds, the account will be deactivated. Simply logging into the account within the six (6) month period will keep the account active. Auto Data Direct, Inc. offers automated payment (AutoPay) services if authorized by the User.
