Please always contact the applicable Hendrick dealership for details on available incentives. Quoted prices are subject to change without notice to correct errors or omissions. Fuel efficiency data is based on applicable EPA mileage ratings for comparison use only; actual mileage varies due to driving habits, maintenance, driving conditions, battery pack age/condition (hybrid models only) and other factors.

Legal Disputes and Choice of Law

Any disputes or claims not subject to the arbitration provision below will be resolved pursuant to the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. By accessing or using Content you expressly agree and irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in the state and federal courts located in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the event of a conflict between any of the provisions below and any other arbitration agreement between you and Hendrick, such as an arbitration agreement contained in a retail installment sale contract, lease agreement, or repair estimate, the terms of such other arbitration agreement shall govern and prevail in each instance.

If any dispute arises between you and Hendrick related to these Terms of Use (including without limitation the interpretation and scope of this arbitration provision (except as provided below) and the ability to arbitrate a claim or dispute) or Content, then BOTH PARTIES SHALL FIRST USE GOOD FAITH AND REASONABLE EFFORTS TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE THROUGH MANDATORY MEDIATION using a certified mediator at Hendrick’s expense. If the parties cannot agree on the mediator, one will be selected by the American Arbitration Association. IF ANY DISPUTE IS NOT RESOLVED THROUGH SUCH MEDIATION, THEN YOU OR HENDRICK MAY ELECT TO HAVE SUCH DISPUTE DECIDED BY MANDATORY, BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF THROUGH LITIGATION (I.E., NO BENCH OR JURY TRIAL). You hereby WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER on any class claim you may have against Hendrick, including without limitation any right to class arbitration or consolidation of individual arbitrations. MATERIAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS, ARE MATERIALLY MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION THAN IN TRIALS.

Arbitrations hereunder will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration, including without limitation whether a claim is subject to arbitration. If Federal law provides that a claim or dispute is not subject to binding arbitration, then this arbitration provision will not apply to such claim or dispute. The rules of the American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Ave., Floor 10, New York, NY 10017-4605 will apply, which rules are available www.adr.org. You and Hendrick shall use the services of the American Arbitration Association. If the chosen arbitration or organization’s rules conflict with these Terms of Use then these Terms of Use control. The arbitration hearing will be conducted in the Federal district in which you reside. The arbitrator must be an attorney or retired judge selected pursuant to the designated rules, and whom shall apply governing substantive law in making an award. Hendrick shall advance your filing administration service or case management fees and customer’s arbitrator hearing fee all up to a maximum of $4,000, unless the applicable rules require more, which may be reimbursed by decision of the arbitrator at the arbitrator’s discretion. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding on all parties, except that in the event the arbitrator’s award for a party is $0, or against a party is in excess of $100,000, or includes an award of injunctive relief against a party that party may request a new arbitration under the rules of the arbitration organization by a three-arbitrator panel. The appealing party requesting new arbitration shall pay the filing fee and other arbitration costs subject to a final determination by the arbitrators of a fair apportionment of costs. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. Either you or Hendrick may seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. Neither you nor Hendrick waive the right to arbitrate by using self-help remedies, such as repossession, or by filing an action to revoke the vehicle, to recover a deficiency balance, or for individual injunctive relief. If any part of this arbitration provision, other than waivers of class action rights, is unenforceable for any reason, the remainder remains enforceable. If a waiver of class action rights is unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, then the remainder of this arbitration provision will be unenforceable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this arbitration provision, the validity and scope of the waiver of class action rights is to be decided by the court and not by the arbitrator.
