MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS

MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

 

WHEREAS, Auto Care is a vehicle membership program that releases vehicle owners (Members) from the burden of repair and maintenance while enabling us (Auto Squad) to keep an eye on and address vehicle issues;

WHEREAS, Member desires the services offered by Auto Care and Auto Care desires to provide such services to Member; and 

WHEREAS, Auto Care is entering into this Agreement for the purpose of assuring the

member the services, and the member acknowledges that during the term of this agreement they will be relying upon Auto Care’s ability to provide the services provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the terms, covenants

and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Membership Plans 

Auto Care offers 4 vehicle membership plans: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. 

Each membership plan has a 36-month duration, and members are eligible to re-join once the period expires.

2. Membership Fees And Payment. 

Membership fees will be subject to the plan selected by the member. The membership plan upgrade charge is $99 USD (terms and costs are flexible).

A $25 USD activation charge, as well as any termination due to nonpayment, must be paid prior to reactivation. 

Members are aware that RAM Credits are only valid at Auto Care facilities and are the property of Auto Care and its subsidiaries. If credits are low, you will be notified.

Members concur that our method of invoicing for repairs is based on the time a vehicle is on the lot. Thus, repair time also includes all time spent researching parts or troubleshooting.

We will impose a “Hoist Fee” of $35 USD to compensate for shop trips and/or additional upsells. 

In the event that the member wishes to cancel their membership plan, they will be charged a $500 USD termination fee and all previously completed work will be back-charged to the member at the normal shop rate.

3. Membership Terms and Conditions 

Downloading the Auto Squad mobile app is required for all members when mobile app is ready for public use.

Members are aware that this is not a warranty program, but rather a membership in which we are responsible for maintenance and repairs for the duration of the membership term.

Members provide us with authority over their cars’ repair and maintenance schedules for the duration of their membership.

Members are prohibited from taking their vehicles elsewhere for repairs and maintenance, and anybody discovered doing so would have their membership immediately revoked and subjected to a $500 USD cancellation fee. Additionally, members who violate this term will also be back- charged for all previously completed work at current shop rates.

Members agree that each vehicle will undergo pre-inspection and diagnosis prior to membership activation, at their expense, and that Auto Squad will perform any necessary repairs to bring the vehicle into acceptable condition.

After 18 months of membership, the Trangine Guarantee comes into effect for Platinum memberships. This plan replaces a Platinum Plan engine or transmission with a refurbished or rebuilt one and can be added to other plans for $50 USD per month plus tax.

Each plan-transferred vehicle must undergo an initial examination and diagnostics. 

Members understand that RAM Credit shared vehicles will be diagnosed with an inspection fee. 

Members understand that repairs and maintenance are contingent on availability. Members are responsible for scheduling maintenance and repairs.

Members acknowledge that we are not liable for any damages when their vehicles are picked up

from their house or place of business (including scratches, dents, etc.). Oil changes are performed twice a year.

Members understand that we supply all parts and cannot accept parts from them. 

Members understand thier car repair will be worked on according to order that vehicle arrived in shop.

Members understand that only primary vehicles are covered under their membership plan, and do not extend to shared vehicles.

Members affirm that their vehicle is roadworthy and in compliance with state and local laws. Cancellation consists of repairs completed up to the moment of cancellation plus 25 %.

If Members are detected violating membership regulations, they agree to pay market price for any repairs and a 25% cancellation charge.

Members shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the effective date of an amendment to this Agreement that directly and materially affects adversely any of the rights or obligations applicable to Member hereunder (each of the foregoing, an “Amendment”).
