The Services

General Overview

Through the Services, we provide a platform that allows customers to obtain short-term vehicle management, to schedule Auto Care Services and communicate with Agents.

Auto Care Services include (1) the ability to arrange a pickup of your vehicle by an Agent at a location designated by you (“Pick Up”), for transportation to and service at a Carrectly - designated third party auto care (“Auto Care Facility”, “Trusted Service Center”, “Dealer”), (2) the ability to select services you wish to have performed by the Auto Care Facility,  and (3) the ability to have your vehicle retrieved by an Agent (including key location if necessary) and returned to the original location (“Drop Off”). Please note that the Auto Care Facility where your vehicle will be stored and serviced (“Auto Care Facility”) will be provided by a third party, and by authorizing Pick Up of your vehicle by Carrectly, you authorize us to perform the requested services as well as store your vehicle at the Auto Care Facility (subject to the policies of such Auto Care Facility) until the Auto Care Services are complete. As a User, you authorize Carrectly Service to operate your vehicle and make decisions on your behalf for the purposes of managing vehicle pickup and drop-off logistics, repair, service, transportation, as designated by you.

Making a reservation

All of our services are on-demand and require a minimum of 2 hours notice. You may reserve a pick up by providing the necessary information for the services requested or selecting one of our prepackaged fixed price options including: 1) the desired auto care services 2) the pick up location and 3) the desired pick up time. By accepting this, you acknowledge and agree that exact pricing for auto care services cannot be determined in advance and will depend on various factors including your vehicle condition and the nature of the services to be provided. Upon submitting reservation request, an agent will be contacting you to arrange the pick up and drop off related to your auto care services.

Modifications to Service

Carrectly reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Carrectly will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

Cancellation

At Carrectly, we understand that sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your car service reservation. To ensure that we can continue to provide exceptional service to all of our clients, we have established the following cancellation policy:

Cancellation Timeframe: Clients must notify us of any cancellation 24 hours prior to the scheduled pickup & drop off times. If the cancellation is made less than 2 hours before the scheduled pickup & drop off times, the client might incur a $25 cancellation fee at Carrectly's discretion.

No Show: If a client fails to show up for their scheduled pickup & drop off times without notifying us, the client is subject to a potential $25 fee for their reserved spot.

Changes to Reservations: Any changes to reservations must be made at least 2 hours in advance of the scheduled pickup & drop off times.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise and we will make every effort to work with our clients to accommodate their needs. However, we also ask that our clients respect our cancellation policy as it allows us to manage our resources efficiently and provide reliable service to all of our clients.

No Show Policy

Carrectly concierge will wait up to 20 minutes after your scheduled pick up time for your response. If you are bringing the vehicle to our location, it is your responsibility to notify us of any potential delays. If you have not made contact with your driver or Carrectly customer service representative within 20 minutes of your scheduled pick up time, we will consider your reservation a “no show” and you may incur a $50 fee. Please note that this fee is to cover the cost of scheduling the appointment, dispatching a driver to your location and a concierge’s time while waiting.

Limitations  

Prior to the pick up, the vehicle must be parked at the designated location provided in your reservation at the scheduled time. Vehicle will be returned to the same location where pick up occurred unless instructed differently by the customer at the time of the pick up. It is the responsibility of the customer to leave your vehicle in a safe and legal location and agree to hold Carrectly harmless from any damages from your failure to do so.

Timing and Scheduling

We will work to return your vehicle to you in a timely manner, based on your designated vehicle return time and completion of services. Please note, the timeliness of vehicle returns also depend on the completion of repairs and other maintenance services by third party service providers or dealers, and Carrectly cannot be liable for any delays caused by service providers.

Important: please note reservations for pick up and drop off include a two hour window. We always accommodate our customers and try our best to be there at the requested time but due to other pickups, traffic, and parking, or any circumstances that may arise beyond our control, we ask for 2 hour wiggle room.

Vehicle return is estimated based on traffic patterns at the time of return. Our quality control also performs a final walk through, performs any touch ups if necessary, and then leaves the facility.

If you are meeting the concierge, they will send you an exact ETA once on the way. If you are unable to meet us, the concierge will notify you once the vehicle has been dropped off.

Compliance with Local Laws

You agree to comply with all state and local laws and regulations while using the Services, including, but not limited to, all driving, traffic and pedestrian related laws and regulations.

Availability

Carrectly operates on a space availability, number of concierges available and first come first served basis. From time to time we experience high reservation volumes and concierge availability may be limited. Examples include holidays, large local events such as stadium events and weekend, rush hour, etc. Carrectly cannot be liable if the services cannot be performed or is not available at the time chosen on a reservation. Keep in mind, the earlier you book your reservation, the easier it is to plan logistics, schedule the service, and dispatch a concierge to you.

Payment

The fees for the products and services are listed in the invoice. Customers agree to pay, either in cash, QuickPay, or autorhize Carrectly to charge the credit card provided to us. A 3.5% credit card processing fee will be applied to ALL invoices over $500. All amounts payable under this agreement need to be paid to us prior to the return of the vehicle or at the drop off.

As a small business, we do not offer in house financing. “Afterpay” is provided via Square and there you will have the option to create a payment plan if approved by Square.

You will have an option to pay an invoice online or through Square chip during the vehicle drop-off. Members will be charged a single fee that includes both the Auto Care Services as well as any fees associated with Drop Off and Pick Up (“Service Fee”). A tip or gratuity may be added at the customer’s discretion after Drop Off has been completed.

When scheduling Auto Care Services, you may be quoted an estimate of the applicable Service Fee or repair. Please note, however, that your actual Service Fee for the Auto Care Services may vary from these estimates based on the actual services performed. Carrectly will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any changes in estimates and obtain your consent via text or email prior to authorizing additional services on your vehicle.

Carrectly may suspend and terminate your access to the Services if Service Fees are 30 days past due or follow legal procedure to obtain overdue payment. Any amounts not paid when due shall bear interest from the due date at the rate of 1.5% per month per payable payment amount. All fees and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. Carrectly has no obligation to provide refunds or credits relating to any Auto Care Services but may do so Carrectly’s sole discretion.

Only agents and auto care facilities who successfully complete Carrectly’s screening process, as determined in Carrectly’s discretion, will provide auto care services. However, Carrectly makes no warranty in connection with and/or arising from the provision of auto care services, or any acts, action, behavior, conduct, and/or negligence on the part of the agent.

Assumption of Risk and Indemnity

The auto care facilities used by Carrectly are provided by our partner shops, and by utilizing auto care services, you authorize Carrectly to have your vehicle serviced and stored at any one of such auto care facilities, subject to the policies of such facility then in effect. Auto care facilities are located closely to our headquarters and Carrectly occasionally rents body shop space or mechanical space if none is available at our facility at the time of the booking.You knowingly and freely assume all risk when using the services, including the auto care services.

You, on behalf of yourself, your personal representatives and your heirs, hereby voluntarily agree to release and hold harmless Carrectly and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, consultants, agents, successors and assigns, from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees arising out of or in any way connected with your (1) access to or use of the services or content (2) use of auto care services including, without limitation, for bodily injury, wrongful death, emotional distress, or other damages or harm, whether to you or to third parties, which may result from the provision of auto care services, or (3) violation of these terms, including, without limitation, for bodily injury, wrongful death, emotional distress, loss of services or other damages or harm, whether to you or to third parties, which may result from your use of the services.

Limitation of Liability

Neither Carrectly nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the services or content will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of use, loss of data or goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute services arising out of or in connection with these terms or from: (1) the use of or inability to use the services or content, (2) whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), (3) product liability or any other legal theory, and (4) whether or not Carrectly has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

Without limiting the coverage of Carrectly’s insurance policy as described herein, in no event will Carrectly’s direct liability to you arising out of or in connection with these terms or from the use of or inability to use the services or content exceed the amount you have paid Carrectly in the last three (3) months, or, if greater, five hundred dollars ($500).

If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the service or with these terms of service, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use of the service.

Disputes

Because the auto care services occasionally involve the utilization of our partner shops and other auto care facilities, in the event that you have a dispute with an auto care facility, Carrectly may, in its sole discretion, facilitate communication between you and the auto care Facility in connection with such dispute.
