Terms of Service

Express Vehicle Locators ยท Effective Date: August 4, 2026 ยท Governing Law: State of Texas
Plain English Summary: EVL is a technology and advisory platform โ€” not a dealer, and not your agent. You pay us a flat fee for search tools, market data, and negotiation guidance. We never earn commission. You handle your own negotiation and approve every deal yourself, directly with the dealer. These terms define how that relationship works and protect both parties.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Express Vehicle Locators platform ("EVL," "the Service," "the Platform"), you ("Customer," "you," "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the platform or submit a service request.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Express Vehicle Locators ("EVL," "we," "us," "our"). Use of the platform constitutes acceptance of these Terms in full.

2. Description of Services

EVL offers vehicle advisory services to individuals seeking to acquire, trade in, or finance a vehicle. Our service tiers include:

All fees are flat and non-commission-based. EVL does not earn any compensation from dealers, lenders, or buyers.

3. What EVL Is โ€” And Is Not

EVL IS: A technology and advisory platform that gives you the data, tools, and negotiation guidance to locate and buy a vehicle on your own terms. You handle your own negotiation and deal directly with the dealer, lender, or buyer.
EVL IS NOT: A licensed vehicle dealer, broker, agent, manufacturer, lender, or auction house. EVL does not negotiate on your behalf, does not take title to vehicles, does not hold funds in escrow, and does not guarantee vehicle condition beyond what is disclosed by the selling dealer.

All vehicle transactions occur directly between the Customer and the selling dealer, lender, or buyer. EVL is a technology and advisory service only. EVL's liability is limited to the service fee paid.

4. Service Fees & Payment

Fee Structure

Service fees are as listed in Section 2. Fees are due upon execution of the EVL Service Agreement for the selected tier. Payment is processed prior to EVL commencing your advisory service.

No Hidden Fees

EVL charges only the fees listed herein. We receive no referral fees, dealer incentives, kickbacks, or commissions of any kind from dealers, lenders, or buyers. Our compensation is solely the flat service fee paid by you.

Fee Acknowledgment

By submitting payment, you acknowledge that the service fee compensates EVL for the advisory service itself โ€” the search, market analysis, and guidance effort โ€” and not for any specific deal outcome.

5. Customer Obligations

By using EVL's services, you agree to:

6. Advisory Relationship & Limits on EVL's Role

By executing the EVL Service Agreement, you engage EVL in an advisory capacity only. EVL is not your agent, attorney-in-fact, or representative, and no power of attorney is granted to EVL under these Terms or the Service Agreement.

EVL's role is limited to:

EVL does not, under any circumstances:

You are responsible for conducting your own negotiation and completing your own transaction directly with the dealer, lender, or buyer, using the tools and guidance EVL provides.

7. No Guarantee of Outcome

EVL makes no guarantee of any specific deal outcome, including but not limited to:

EVL's obligation is to make commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill the service requested. Market conditions, inventory availability, dealer cooperation, and lender decisions are outside EVL's control.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVL'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL SERVICE FEES PAID BY YOU TO EVL FOR THE RELEVANT SERVICE.

EVL IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, EVEN IF EVL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

EVL is not responsible for the actions, representations, warranties, or performance of any dealer, lender, trade-in buyer, or other third party involved in your transaction.

9. Refund Policy

Before Service Commencement

If you cancel your service request before EVL has commenced active work (typically within 24 hours of payment), a full refund will be issued less a $25 processing fee.

After Service Commencement

Once EVL has commenced active search, analysis, or advisory guidance for your request, service fees are non-refundable. This reflects the labor and effort invested by EVL on your request.

Deal Declined by Customer

If EVL identifies a vehicle or provides guidance that meets your stated specifications and you decline to proceed without reasonable cause, the service fee is earned and non-refundable. If EVL is unable to find a vehicle meeting your specifications after reasonable effort, a partial or full refund may be issued at EVL's discretion.

Exceptions

Refund requests for exceptional circumstances should be submitted to info@expressvehiclelocators.com within 30 days of the service date. EVL will review each request on its merits.
