Welcome to the website of Blinker Inc. and its subsidiaries, Blinker Direct, LLC and Blinker Insurance, LLC (collectively, “Blinker,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). The following Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you visit our website or use Blinker’s mobile or other online services (collectively, the “Service”). By using our Service, you agree to be bound by, and use our Service in compliance with these Terms of Use. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT USE OUR SERVICE.
Blinker is a vehicle listing and information service that brings together buyers and sellers. BLINKER IS NOT AN AUTOMOBILE BROKER OR DEALER AND DOES NOT SELL, EXCHANGE, BUY, OR OFFER FOR SALE, NEGOTIATE OR ATTEMPT TO NEGOTIATE, A SALE OR EXCHANGE OF AN INTEREST IN ANY VEHICLE LISTED FOR SALE ON OUR SERVICE.
Although Blinker is not a party to any vehicle sale contract between vehicle buyers and sellers that originates on or through the Service, Blinker offers other ancillary products and services including, but not limited to, vehicle financing, service contracts, mechanical breakdown insurance, vehicle registration/titling, and vehicle transfer escrow services. Not all ancillary products and services are available in every state. We have the unrestricted right to sub-contract and/or assign the performance/fulfillment of any of the products and services we offer to third party providers of our choice.
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “effective” date given above. While we may, from time to time, alert you to changes in the Terms, it is your responsibility to review these Terms frequently and to remain informed of any changes to them. The then-current version of these Terms will supersede all earlier versions. You agree that your continued use of our Service after such changes have been published to our Service will constitute your acceptance of such revised Terms.
You agree that these Terms are supported by reasonable and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which you hereby acknowledge, including, without limitation, your access to and use of the Service and data, materials and information available at or through the Service.
All buyers and sellers must be at least 18 years old to use the Blinker Service and by using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years old.
Information about a particular vehicle is supplied by the seller, not by Blinker. The price and other terms of any sale are arranged after negotiation between the buyer and the seller. Blinker is not responsible for incorrect information given by buyers or sellers, including information regarding vehicles, including but not limited to vehicle mileage, condition, history, or photos of vehicles. CarFax and/or AutoCheck vehicle reports are provided for informational purposes only from an unaffiliated third-party vehicle report provider, and Blinker is not responsible for any incorrect information or mistakes contained in any such report. We cannot verify the information/photos that sellers supply or
BLINKER MAKES NO GUARANTIES, WARRANTIES, OR REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING ANY VEHICLES LISTED FOR SALE ON OUR SERVICE. VEHICLE SALES ARE BETWEEN THE BUYER AND THE SELLER ONLY. BLINKER DOES NOT OWN, INSPECT, BUY OR SELL ANY VEHICLES LISTED FOR SALE ON OUR SERVICE.
The prices listed by sellers on Blinker exclude government fees and taxes, finance charges, registration and titling fees, regulatory and electronic processing charges, inspection charges, emission testing charges, and any other fees required by law, any or all of which may be added to the listed price to arrive at the final sale price of a particular vehicle.
To list a vehicle for sale on Blinker or through a platform partner, sellers are required to provide certain identifying and contact information. The information must accurately identify the seller and the method of contact must permit buyers to communicate directly with the seller. You may not charge any potential buyer for information about any vehicle listed for sale on Blinker’s Service, nor may you use our Service to promote, without our prior written permission, any other website, product, or service. Sellers must be prepared to sell their vehicles at the price at which, and on the terms on which, they are listed. You must have possession of the actual vehicle listed and the proper authority to transfer title. In order to list a vehicle for sale on Blinker, a seller must be the registered owner of the vehicle being listed for sale or be able to provide a power of attorney authorizing the seller to sign documents necessary to transfer the vehicle and pay any outstanding lien(s) on behalf of the registered owner.
You represent that you are not a motor vehicle dealer or broker, or acting in the capacity as an owner, employee or representative of a dealer or broker.
Each listing may be used to advertise only one vehicle, regardless of a listing’s duration. For this reason, you cannot edit your vehicle’s year, make, model, or VIN once you have “listed” your car. Always make certain this information is accurate before listing your automobile. Blinker reserves the right (but assumes no obligation) to delete, move, or edit any listings that we consider unacceptable or inappropriate, whether for legal or other reasons.
Once the Seller and Buyer have agreed to buy/sell a listed vehicle and the terms are agreed upon, then fees may be incurred by one or more parties in the event Blinker services are accessed (e.g. vehicle registration services and/or escrow services).
Our service may syndicate your vehicle listing to other 3rd party services/websites on your behalf.
If you obtain Financing, Mechanical Breakdown Insurance, or a Service Contract from Blinker, additional terms and conditions apply.
Subject to these Terms, we grant to you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non- transferable license to use our Service for your personal use and not for resale or further distribution.

At your or our election, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including the validity, interpretation, scope, or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, or the breach thereof), the Service or Service Content, and/or the Automobile Loan & Security Agreement (if any) shall be exclusively resolved by neutral, binding arbitration. Discovery and rights of appeal in arbitration are generally more limited than in a lawsuit, and other rights that you and we would have in court may not be available in arbitration.
All claims between you and us shall be brought in your or our individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claim, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS.
Arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitration organization selected by the parties. The arbitrator shall be a single arbitrator who is a retired judicial officer and shall be selected pursuant to the rules of the arbitration organization or, alternatively, may be selected by agreement of the parties. The parties will cooperate in good faith to select the arbitration organization and the arbitrator. In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitration organization, the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org).
The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law and the applicable statute of limitations. We will advance your filing, administration, service or case management fee and your arbitrator or hearing fee all up to a maximum of $5,000, unless applicable rules or substantive law require us to advance in excess of this amount, in which case we will advance the amount required under applicable rules or law. The amount we pay may be reimbursed in whole or in part by decision of the arbitrator if the arbitrator finds that any or all of your claims are frivolous under applicable law. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. If the chosen arbitration organization’s rules conflict with this Arbitration Agreement, then the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement shall control, except where the conflict would render the chosen organization unable to conduct the arbitration or would render this Arbitration Agreement unenforceable. In that case, the rules of the chosen arbitration organization shall apply to effect the parties’ intention to arbitrate their disputes. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Any award by the arbitrator shall be in writing and will be final and binding on all parties, subject to any limited right to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.
You and we reserve the right to pursue small claims actions so long as such actions remain within the jurisdiction of the small claims court.
In the event you enter into an Automobile Loan & Security Agreement with us, our pursuit of selfhelp remedies (repossession), an action to recover the vehicle (replevin), or an action to recover a deficiency balance following repossession shall not constitute a waiver of our right to arbitrate.
Should any portion of this Arbitration Agreement, other than the waiver of class action rights, be deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Agreement shall remain enforceable.
Enforcement of these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, excluding its conflict and choice of law principles. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Services or Service Content will lie in the state and federal courts located in Denver County, within the State of Colorado, and you irrevocably agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. Our failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
When you visit the Service or send e-mails, or upload/post information to the Service, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive all documents and communications from us electronically, through email, social media, text to mobile devices, etc. based on the contact information you have provided to us and designated us to use. You may update the contact information for your account by updating your user information on the application.
You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you through any of these means satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
You further agree that your vehicle transfer (registration and titling) may be processed electronically, if electronic processing is available in the state in which the vehicle will be registered/titled.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms or your use of the Service. Nothing contained in these Terms is in derogation of our right to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Service or information provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms or respond to a breach by you or others shall not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce any other provision of these Terms as to that breach or any other.
In the event these terms are violated, Blinker reserves the right to terminate all services and prevent you from access and use of the Service in the future.
