Failure to Pay: If payment cannot be processed, we may cancel future appointments until the balance is settled.
6. Pricing and Fees

Limitation of Liability: Texas First Auto Inspections is not responsible for injury, loss, or damage resulting from inspections, except where caused by our negligence. Our total liability is limited to the amount paid for the service in question.
Indemnification: You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Texas First Auto Inspections, its staff, and affiliates from claims, losses, or damages arising from your use of services, website, or violation of these Terms.
Scope & Timing. Our inspection and report reflect the vehicle’s observable condition only at the date and time of inspection. We do not dismantle components and cannot identify latent, hidden, or intermittent defects. We do not guarantee future performance or the continued condition of the vehicle after the inspection.
No Liability After Inspection / During Transport. Any change in condition after the inspection—including during dealer possession, storage, test drives, detailing, repair, or transport/shipping—is outside our control and not our responsibility. This includes, without limitation, scratches, dents, cracked glass, alignment changes, warning lights, leaks, or mechanical/electrical issues that arise after the inspection. Buyer is solely responsible for selecting, contracting with, and insuring any shipper and for filing any transport-damage claims with the carrier/dealer.
Reliance & Photos. Photos provided by us document the vehicle as-inspected. We recommend obtaining a pre-loading condition report with time-stamped photos from the dealer/shipper at pickup and at delivery to preserve any transport claim.
Claims Procedure. If you believe our report materially misstated an as-inspected condition, you must notify us in writing within 3 business days of report delivery and before any repair is performed, and you must allow us a reasonable opportunity to re-inspect. Failure to follow this procedure waives any claim.
Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to the inspection/report is limited to the inspection fee paid, regardless of theory of liability. Our report is prepared for the client named on the report only and may not be relied upon by others.
Governing Law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, and venue is proper in [Harris] County, Texas.

The remedies provided in this section are not exclusive of and do not limit any other remedies that may be available to TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS or any other party to be indemnified pursuant to this section.
- Dispute Resolution (Arbitration Clause).
15.1. Arbitration. You and TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS each agree to submit to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Claim”) arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, your or TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS’s rights and obligations under these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, the Site, the use of the Site, and/or the services and/or products that may be provided by or through or in connection with the Site. The arbitration will be held in Maryland before one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a dispute as a class action. You also expressly waive your right to a jury trial. You may select one of the following arbitration organizations and its applicable rules: the National Arbitration Forum, Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405-0191 (www.arb-forum.com), or JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center Suite 1100 San Francisco, CA 94111 (www.jamsadr.com). If you fail to select an arbitration organization within 30 days after notice from TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS, TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS may select the organization. You may obtain a copy of the rules of each organization by contacting the organization. In the event that any Claim cannot be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of any such organization, such event shall not affect the enforceability of this clause so long as the Claim may be submitted to binding arbitration with the other organization. You and TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS shall agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration and the arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless such fees are awarded by the arbitrator to the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS’S intellectual property rights, TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the State of Maryland, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
15.2. Arbitration Final. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.), and not any state law concerning arbitration, governs all arbitration under this clause. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. If any part of this clause, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the waiver of class action rights contained herein is not enforceable as to any person or persons, the provisions of Section 17 of these Terms of Use shall apply to such person or persons only, and all other persons shall continue to be governed by the Arbitration Clause.
15.3. No Class Action. These Terms of Use provide that all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court or by jury trial. BECAUSE THE ARBITRATION WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS SET FORTH IN ANY STATE STATUTE.
- California Waiver. If you are a California resident, to the extent permitted by California law, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor” as well as any other unknown claims under California Civil Code Section 1542 or any statute or common law principle of similar effect.
- Jurisdiction and Venue. TO THE EXTENT A CLAIM IS NOT GOVERNED BY THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE, EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOUR OR TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, THE SITE, THE USE OF THE SITE, AND/OR THE SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS THAT MAY BE PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE SHALL BE THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND – NORTHERN DIVISION, LOCATED IN BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND OR, IF FEDERAL JURISDICTION IS NOT AVAILABLE, IN THE APPROPRIATE COURT OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND THAT IS LOCATED IN BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN THE EVENT TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS IS SUED OR JOINED BY ANOTHER PERSON OR ENTITY IN ANY OTHER COURT OR IN ANY OTHER FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY MATTER WHICH MAY GIVE RISE TO A CLAIM BY TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS HEREUNDER, YOU CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT OR FORUM OVER ANY CLAIM WHICH MAY BE ASSERTED BY TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS THEREIN. YOU IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE EXERCISE OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION BY SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION. IN ADDITION, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT YOU MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING UPON YOU AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY COURT IN WHICH YOU ARE SUBJECT TO JURISDICTION BY A SUIT UPON SUCH JUDGMENT.
- Waiver of Trial By Jury. TO THE EXTENT A CLAIM IS NOT GOVERNED BY THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE, TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS AND YOU EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT AND IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, IN WHICH ANY SUCH PARTY IS A PARTY, AS TO ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOUR OR TEXASFIRSAUTOINSPECTIONS’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, THE SITE, THE USE OF THE SITE, AND/OR THE SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS THAT MAY BE PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE.
