The CentralDispatch System. Through the CentralDispatch Site, we offer an Internet-based system (the “CentralDispatch System”) that allows individual Members and company Members with vehicles to ship (each a “Shipper Member”) to connect with Individual or Company vehicle transportation entities (each a “Carrier Member”) by: (1) allowing CD Members to post data and information regarding vehicles for shipment or vehicle transportation services, references, evidence of insurance coverage, copies of government licenses, and other data and information that can be reviewed by other CD Members who may be interested in entering into a business relationship, and (2) allowing CD Members to make their own independent evaluations of whether they are interested in entering into business relationships with other CD Members. The CentralDispatch System may also allow CD Members to "rate" other Members or to provide information of general interest to other CD Members with regard to, for example, truck stops, repair centers, and insurance companies. You understand and acknowledge that we do not and cannot control the reliability, completeness, usefulness, safety, or accuracy of information available through the CentralDispatch Site, including, without limitation, through the CentralDispatch System, because such data and information is provided solely by the CD Members over whom we have no control.

The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on the Site; (d) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and email address (if available); (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to CentralDispatch LLC, ATTN: Cox Auto Legal, 6205 Peachtree-Dunwoody Roady, Atlanta, Georgia 30328.

Arbitration and Class Waiver.
1. Arbitration. You agree to arbitrate any dispute or claim that you may have with us, or any of our affiliates, that arises out of or relates in any way to the Site. Such arbitration will be final and binding. If we elect in our discretion to submit to arbitration any dispute or claim that we may have against you, any such arbitration will be governed by the provisions of this Section.
2. Class Waiver. Any arbitration proceeding under this Section will take place on an individual basis. Class arbitrations and class or representative proceedings of any kind are not permitted and you expressly waive your ability to participate in a class or representative proceeding against us or any of our affiliates. If the arbitration clause is found inapplicable to your dispute with us, this class waiver will continue to apply in litigation. You agree that this class waiver is an essential element of the agreement between you and us and that this class waiver may not be severed. In the event that this class waiver is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire agreement to arbitrate in this Section will be null and void.
3. Arbitrator Authority. Any dispute or claim subject to arbitration pursuant to this Section 23 must be submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS Streamlined Rules. The arbitrator will be bound by and will strictly enforce these Terms of Use and any additional terms, agreements or attachments between you and us and may not limit, expand or otherwise modify any of the provisions of the foregoing. Any arbitration will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. Each party will bear its own expenses in the arbitration and will share equally the costs of the arbitration; provided, however, that the arbitrator will award the applicable party any costs and fees to which it may be entitled under Section 18 in connection with any indemnification claim. You agree that your transactions with us evidence transactions in interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act therefore governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section (notwithstanding the application of Georgia law to any underlying claims). You also agree that this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms of Use.
Jurisdictional Issues. The Site is solely directed to individuals residing in the United States. We make no representation that Materials available on or through the Site are appropriate or available for use in locations outside of the United States. Those who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
Governing Law. Any dispute arising from or related to the Site, or the CentralDispatch System, will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any action to enforce any arbitration proceeding, and any other legal action, suit or proceeding that is not otherwise subject to mandatory arbitration pursuant to Section 23 and arises under or relates to the Site, or the CentralDispatch System, will be filed exclusively in a state or federal court located in Fulton County, Georgia; you consent to such forum and waive any objection to the laying of venue in such forum.
Assignment. We may assign these Terms of Use. We may also assign or delegate certain of our rights and responsibilities under these Terms of Use to independent contractors or other third parties. You may not assign these Terms of Use or any of your rights, responsibilities or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent, which we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion.
General. Dealertrack, CentralDispatch, and their personnel, agents, suppliers and affiliates are acting as independent contractors and not as your employees or agents. Under no circumstance will a party have the right or authority to enter into any contracts or assume any obligations for the other or to give any warranty to or make any representation on behalf of the other. These Terms of Use, any additional terms published by CentralDispatch, and any click-through agreements between you and CentralDispatch constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of these Terms of Use, and supersede any previous or contemporaneous negotiations, proposals, understandings, and all oral and written agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use. No oral statement of a Dealertrack, CentralDispatch, or their employees will affect the rights, obligations or warranties of the parties hereunder. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the class action waiver in Section 23, if any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and, in any event, the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms of Use will operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy.
