Ever Legal And Terms of Use Update

Last Updated / Posted: June 29, 2026 — Version 2.0

THIS VERSION SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES ALL PRIOR VERSIONS OF THE EVER TERMS OF USE. These Terms of Use are the current and controlling version governing your access to and use of the Services as of the date posted above, and any prior version of the Ever Terms of Use is superseded in its entirety. As described in Section 2 (Modifications to these Terms), changes to these Terms become effective thirty (30) days after notice is given, except where you accept these Terms directly (for example, by creating an account or completing a purchase), in which case they apply to that transaction upon your acceptance.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION BELOW. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Table of Contents

1. Acceptance of Terms

Like other sites and services, certain terms and conditions apply. By using our Services, you agree to the terms and conditions here.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the online services and offerings (collectively, "Services") by Ever Cars Co., including our affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, "Ever," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms apply to all Services, including any website or mobile application we make available to you.

PLEASE READ THE TERMS THOROUGHLY AND CAREFULLY. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, THEN YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

All references to "you" or "your," as applicable, mean the person who accesses, uses, and/or participates in the Services in any manner, and each of your heirs, assigns, and successors. If you use the Services on behalf of an entity or another individual, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity or individual, your acceptance of the Terms will be deemed an acceptance by that entity or individual, and "you" and "your" herein shall refer to that entity, its directors, officers, employees, and agents.

2. Modifications to these Terms

We may have to change these Terms periodically. We don't think you'll have any issues with our changes, but for most changes, you have to agree to continue using Ever.

Ever reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify these Terms, and any other documents incorporated by reference herein, at any time and without prior notice. Ever will notify you of changes to these Terms by posting on the Ever Terms of Use website, sending you a message, and/or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Except as explicitly provided otherwise herein, modifications will become effective thirty (30) days after the earliest of: (a) modifications being posted on the Services; (b) Ever's transmission of a message to you about the modifications; or (c) you are otherwise notified when you are logged into your account. Your use of the Services after the expiration of the thirty (30) days shall constitute your consent to the changes. If you do not agree, you may not access or use the Services.

3. Additional Policies

Privacy Policy

Please review Ever's Privacy Policy and Financial Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference, for information and notices concerning Ever's collection and use of your information.

Other Agreements

For certain users who make purchases, sales, or leverage financing available on or through the Services, such use may also be governed by a contract with Ever and/or one of our third-party partners. If there is a conflict between these Terms and such agreement, the latter takes precedence with respect to your use of that service or engagement in that transaction.

4. Eligibility and Scope

Just like rules that limit who can drive, we have rules on who can use Ever. You have to be 18 years or older.

You may use the Service only if you are 18 years of age or older and can form a binding contract with Ever, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and can form a binding contract with Ever.

If Ever has previously prohibited you from accessing or using the Services, you are not permitted to access or use the Services.

5. Account Registration

Some offerings on Ever require you to create an Account. To keep us and our users safe, you agree to be honest in your creation of that Account.

You may be required to register for a password-protected account ("Account") to use parts of the Services. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration and at all other times when you use the Services, and to update information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your Account password. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs on your Account, and we may assume that any communications we receive under your Account have been made by you. You must notify Ever immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account. Ever will not be liable and you may be liable for losses, damages, liability, expenses, and lawyers' fees incurred by Ever or a third party arising from someone else using your Account due to your conduct regardless of whether you have notified us of such unauthorized use. You understand and agree that we may require you to provide information that may be used to confirm your identity and help ensure the security of your Account.

6. Vehicle Purchases

Available Vehicles

The Services may enable you to purchase vehicles from Ever. The Services contain descriptions of vehicles available for purchase. While we undertake reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of descriptions of our available vehicles, there may be errors or omissions relating to availability, pricing, text, or photos. There may also be errors based on information available to us regarding the vehicle (e.g. through our use of third-party services that provide vehicle history reports). Before making any purchase, please inspect the vehicle carefully to confirm it is consistent with the vehicle you are seeking to purchase. We cannot be liable and explicitly disclaim any liability for errors based on information on vehicle history reports or from other third-party services. Ever reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for vehicles displayed at incorrect prices, regardless of whether the orders have been confirmed and/or payment has been made.

Ever Inspections

Available vehicles for purchase on the Services may include Ever Inspected vehicles, which are pre-owned electric vehicles that have passed Ever's rigorous 150+ point EV inspections and battery diagnostics. All Ever Inspected vehicles come with a detailed inspection report so that buyers can see the detail in which we've reviewed and inspected our vehicles. Unless otherwise specified on the Services, all vehicles are sold on an "As Is" basis with no dealer warranty or implied warranty.

Vehicle Category: Remaining Factory Warranty

Most of the electric vehicles sold by Ever are still under vehicle manufacturer's limited warranties ("Factory Warranties"). When Ever has been able to confirm that there is at least 90 days and 5,000 miles of remaining limited vehicle warranty, as provided by the manufacturer and validated by Ever based on the manufacturer's limited warranty time and mileage limits, Ever markets these vehicles under the vehicle category "Remaining Factory Warranty". All Remaining Factory Warranty vehicles are sold on an "As Is" basis, without any overlapping or complementary dealer warranty by Ever.

Vehicle Category: Ever Certified

Some electric vehicles sold by Ever are close to reaching their Factory Warranty limits or have recently exceeded these limits. For these vehicles, Ever provides a complementary 90 days or 5,000 miles limited vehicle warranty ("Ever Limited Warranty") and markets these vehicles under the vehicle category "Ever Certified". All Ever Certified vehicles are sold with the Ever Limited Warranty.

Process for Purchasing a Vehicle Through the Services

While you do not need an Account to view available vehicles, you must create an Account to purchase a vehicle. We encourage you to review all vehicle details, photos, reports, etc. to confirm the features and condition of the car before purchase.

If you decide to purchase a vehicle, you will be required to review and execute a separate purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"). In the event of any conflict between the Purchase Agreement and these Terms, the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall govern with respect to your purchase of a vehicle from Ever.

Return Policy ("Money Back Guarantee")

We stand by the quality of our vehicles, so unless otherwise communicated at the time of purchase, all vehicles come with a limited return policy ("Money Back Guarantee"), as further defined and limited by your Purchase Agreement and a separate written Contract Cancellation Option Agreement signed at the time of delivery. Unless provided otherwise in your Purchase Agreement, you may return any vehicle purchased from us within the return period specified at the time of purchase (typically seven days) or 500 miles, whichever comes first. The day you take delivery counts as the first day of the return window. To return or exchange your vehicle, you must send written notice to us at sales@evercars.com prior to 5 p.m. PT on the final day of the return window.

We cannot accept a return if the vehicle has been:

You can exchange up to two times to receive a total of three vehicles. However, the third vehicle will not come with the limited return policy and cannot be exchanged or returned once accepted. If the vehicle does not have any of the issues listed above, the return will be accepted if initiated within the return window, no matter how you paid for the vehicle.

Restocking Fee. If you exercise your right to return or cancel the purchase of a vehicle under this Money Back Guarantee, you agree to pay a restocking fee. As provided under Section 11713.21 of the California Vehicle Code, the restocking fee will not exceed: (a) $175 if the vehicle's cash price is $5,000 or less; (b) $350 if the vehicle's cash price is less than $10,000; or (c) $500 if the vehicle's cash price is $10,000 or more. The exact restocking fee applicable to your purchase will be stated in your Purchase Agreement and in the separate written Contract Cancellation Option Agreement you sign at the time of delivery.

Excess Mileage Fee. If you return a vehicle that has been driven more than 500 miles since delivery, measured from the vehicle's odometer reading at the time of delivery, you agree to pay an excess mileage fee of $1.00 for each mile driven over 500 miles. Any excess mileage fee may be deducted from your refund.

Depending on your bank's processing time, refunds may take 7–10 business days to post in your account.

While we provide free shipping for many of our vehicles, especially within California, we reserve the right to define shipping charges separately for each sale. These charges will be based on the vehicle, the vehicle's location, your requested delivery location, and available shipping options. Potential shipping charges are nonrefundable, whether you keep the vehicle or complete a return or exchange. If you wish to return or exchange a vehicle located within 50 miles of an Ever retail facility, we will arrange and pay for pickup. If the vehicle is more than 50 miles from an Ever retail facility, you make the vehicle available for pickup at a date, time, and location defined by Ever, and you are responsible for the cost of return transportation.

Financing

Those who purchase vehicles through Ever may be eligible for financing with one of our third-party partners. All vehicle loans are subject to additional terms and conditions, which will be made available to you as applicable. Please visit the Ever Financial Privacy Policy for information on how we collect and disclose your information when you apply for and/or obtain financing available on or through the Services.

Warranty Plans

Unless otherwise specified in your Purchase Agreement, all Ever Certified vehicles come with a 90-day or 5,000-mile limited vehicle warranty ("Ever Limited Warranty"). Please review the applicable terms and conditions governing the warranty for further details. Ever does not provide a warranty on vehicles sold on an "As-Is" basis, i.e. vehicles not labeled as Ever Certified.

Vehicles purchased using the Services may also be under a manufacturer's warranty. EVER DOES NOT ADMINISTER OR WARRANT MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES. PLEASE CONSULT THE APPLICABLE MANUFACTURER FOR DETAILS OF ANY APPLICABLE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. EVER FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR MANUFACTURER'S RECALLS.

Vehicle Protection Plans

You may also be able to purchase a vehicle protection plan for vehicles purchased from Ever. Such plans are subject to applicable terms and conditions, which will be made available to you as applicable.

Vehicle Service Plans

Users who purchase vehicles through the Services may also be eligible for vehicle service plans. Such plans are subject to additional terms and conditions, which will be made available to you as applicable.

Insurance

Users who purchase vehicles through the Services may also be eligible to purchase insurance from a third-party insurance provider through Ever. Such insurance plans are subject to additional terms and conditions, which will be made available to you as applicable.

7. Vehicle Sales

We've made selling your car simple and easy. Here are the details on how to do it through Ever.

Process for Selling a Vehicle to Ever

To simplify the selling process, Ever may provide a tool that gives users an estimate of the price at which Ever may offer to purchase their vehicle (the "Sell Your EV" service). To use the Sell Your EV service, you will be required to submit certain information about your vehicle, including without limitation (1) the make/model; (2) year of manufacture; (3) mileage; and (4) Vehicle Identification Number ("VIN"). You must also provide us with certain contact information to receive an estimated price at which Ever will purchase your vehicle (the "Estimate"). Using the information provided, Ever will either provide an Estimate or decline to purchase your vehicle at that time. The actual offer price from Ever may differ, depending on factors including an in-person inspection of your vehicle by an Ever employee.

If you would like to proceed with selling your vehicle to Ever, you must schedule an in-person or remote inspection by an Ever employee or Ever representative. Upon completing the inspection of the vehicle, an Ever employee or Ever representative may provide you with the actual offer price at which Ever will purchase your vehicle. If you agree to sell your vehicle to Ever, you will be required to review and execute a separate sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement"). To the extent of any conflict between the Sales Agreement and these Terms, the terms of the Sales Agreement shall govern with respect to your sale of a vehicle to Ever.

Voiding Sales Transactions

Though rare, in some unusual circumstances, we may void Sales Agreements. While Ever makes reasonable efforts to conduct thorough inspections, we may sometimes identify material defects in vehicles or title after taking possession of such vehicles after execution of a Sales Agreement. We may also discover that users seeking to sell vehicles to Ever have made material misstatements or omissions regarding the condition of those vehicles. In those instances and as otherwise provided in the Sales Agreement and in accordance with applicable law, Ever reserves the right to void the Sales Agreement within 24 hours or such longer period as may be provided in the Sales Agreement.

Process for Selling a Vehicle Through Ever on Consignment

Ever may also provide a service connecting vehicle owners who are seeking to sell their vehicles with individuals who are seeking to buy vehicles. If Ever makes consignment services available to individuals and you would like to use Ever's consignment services, you must schedule an in-person inspection by an Ever employee or Ever representative. Upon completing the inspection of the vehicle, an Ever employee or Ever representative will inform you whether Ever will accept your vehicle for consignment. If you agree to sell your vehicle through Ever on consignment, you will be required to review and execute a separate consignment agreement (the "Consignment Agreement"). To the extent of any conflict between the Consignment Agreement and these Terms, the terms of the Consignment Agreement shall govern with respect to your sale of a vehicle through Ever.

14. Warranties, Disclaimers, and Limitation of Liability

We strive to make car buying and selling painless, but we can't promise it will be perfect. We're not liable for various things.

Your access to and use of the Services are at your own risk. You understand and agree that the Services are provided to you on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. Without limiting the foregoing, EVER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We make no warranty and disclaim all responsibility and liability for the completeness, accuracy, availability, timeliness, security, or reliability of the Services or any content thereon. Ever will not be responsible or liable for any harm to your computer system, loss of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Services. You also agree that Ever has no responsibility or liability for its deletion of, or the failure to store, retain, or transmit, any communications maintained by or transmitted through the Services. We make no warranty that the Services will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Ever or through the Services, will create any warranty not expressly made herein.

The Services are controlled and operated from Ever's facilities in the United States. Ever makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Services if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Services are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOOD-WILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (i) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; (ii) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES; (iii) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICES; OR (iv) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT EVER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DESCRIBED ABOVE SHALL APPLY FULLY TO RESIDENTS OF NEW JERSEY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so if you are a resident of any of those jurisdictions, the limitations above may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification and Release

If someone sues us because of your violation of our Terms, you have to pay our costs.

TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE TO RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD EVER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REASONABLE LEGAL AND ACCOUNTING FEES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his settlement with the debtor or released party." This release includes the criminal acts of others. If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.

16. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

We don't expect to get into any disputes with you. But if we do, here are the rules.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

You and Ever agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to your use of the Services); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms or agreement to arbitrate. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with Ever as follows:

Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach Ever's support department at support@evercars.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the Ever support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. If requested by Ever, Buyer also agrees to submit to a Vehicle inspection, conducted by Ever or an Ever agent.

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 2 Embarcadero Center Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94111; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Ever at 973 Embarcadero Rd, Palo Alto, CA 94303, ATTN: Legal.

You will be required to pay $250 to initiate an arbitration against us. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Ever will pay all other fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of California, United States of America. You and Ever further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND EVER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

30-Day Right to Opt Out: Unless you have previously agreed to an arbitration and class action waiver provision for disputes with Ever, you have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you used to register for your account) written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@evercars.com with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or the effective date of the first set of Terms containing an Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Ever also will not be bound by them.

Changes to This Section: Ever will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Services, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Services or sent to you.

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled "Arbitration and Class Action Waiver," and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Services.

Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account or the Services.

17. Export Control

The Services are subject to the trade laws and regulations of the United States and other countries, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR Part 730 et seq.) and the sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC, 31 CFR Part 500). You will not import, export, re-export, transfer or otherwise use the Services in violation of these laws and regulations, including by engaging in any unauthorized dealing involving (i) a U.S. embargoed country; (ii) a party included on any restricted person list, such as the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals List, or the Commerce Department's Denied Persons List or Entity List; or (iii) the design, development, manufacture, or production of nuclear, missile, or chemical or biological weapons. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You will not engage in activity that would cause us to be in violation of these laws and regulations, and will indemnify Ever for any fines, penalties or other liabilities incurred by us for your failure to comply with this provision.

18. Ever Text Messages

You may be given an opportunity to receive text messages from Ever. We or our service providers send text messages to: (1) provide you with information you requested from Ever; (2) respond to your inquiries; and (3) inform you of your order, purchase, service, or other customer relationship related status.

19. General

Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Services shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the Services shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Ever, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Except for claims that must be arbitrated pursuant to the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section, any claim or dispute arising in connection with the Services shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses or objections otherwise available.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Ever Privacy Policy and any other legal notices, amendments, and additional agreements or policies published by Ever on the Services, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Ever concerning the Services. Except as set forth in the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section, if any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between these Terms (or any portion thereof) and any agreement between Ever and you signed by you (including, without limitation, a Purchase Agreement or Sales Agreement), the terms of the latter agreement shall prevail.

Section Headings and Summaries. The section headings and summaries in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Waiver. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Ever's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Force Majeure. Neither Ever nor you shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure in performance under the Terms arising out of a cause beyond its control and without its fault or negligence. Such causes may include but are not limited to fires, floods, earthquakes, strikes, unavailability of necessary utilities, blackouts, acts of God, acts of declared or undeclared war, acts of regulatory agencies, or national disasters.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

Transferability and Assignability. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Ever without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void. These Terms bind and inure to the benefit of each party and the party's successors and permitted assigns.
