Dealix Corporation ("Dealix") owns and operates a Web site for car shoppers known as DriveNow.com.

What "Invoice" Does And Does Not Mean

The following section applies only to the DriveNow.com Comparison Shopping Service and does not pertain to other DriveNow.com Channels.

The DriveNow.com Comparison Shopping Service is designed to remove the inconsistency between different dealers' invoice amounts, creating a fair, honest, and up-front comparative system. However, it is nonetheless important to remember that "Invoice" and "Dealer Invoice" DO NOT REFLECT THE FINAL COST OF THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. They are useful solely, and intended here solely, as a publicly available and agreed-upon COMPARATIVE TOOL with which different dealers' pricing can be fairly evaluated. Dealix has attempted to account for the factors which can make the final dealer cost lower than the "dealer invoice" price. There is no warranty or assurance, however, that these best-effort calculations are absolutely accurate. As a result, Dealix listings DO NOT INDICATE OR PRESUME TO INDICATE that any vehicle cost any listed dealer any specific amount.

It is Dealix's intent and policy to be in good-faith compliance with state laws regulating automotive advertising. Therefore, "invoice-based" advertising is NOT AVAILABLE to dealers in restricted states. These dealers may still participate in the DriveNow.com Comparison Shopping Service, but cannot provide up-front comparative pricing.

The DriveNow.com Comparison Shopping Service is an advertising directory of automotive dealerships which have agreed to offer fixed, up-front pricing to DriveNow.com visitors. Due to the rapidly changing nature of the auto retailing environment, dealer agreements with Dealix, if any, are considered temporary and non-binding on the dealer, DO NOT ALWAYS COVER ALL MODELS, AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE OR REVOCATION WITHOUT NOTICE AT ANY TIME. Dealix has no control over whether or not a vehicle will be available at all, or will be made available by any listed dealer at the listed price at any given time. Although every effort is made to keep the listings current, Dealix takes no responsibility for outdated or superceded information found on DriveNow.com.
