Terms of Service
Last updated: May 21, 2026
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and NextAfto ("NextAfto," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the NextAfto website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or submitting a request or offer, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of a business (for example, as a dealer), you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms and that the business will be bound. We may refuse service, terminate accounts, or cancel orders at our sole discretion.
2. Nature of the Service; no transactions
NextAfto is a software platform that helps Customers solicit and compare offers from participating Dealers. NextAfto is not a motor-vehicle dealer, broker, lessor, lender, insurer, escrow agent, title company, or party to any vehicle sale, lease, financing, insurance, trade-in, registration, or other transaction. Any transaction is solely between the Customer and the Dealer. NextAfto does not own, inspect, transport, deliver, finance, insure, register, or warrant any vehicle, and does not handle funds on behalf of any user.
3. Dealer offers are estimates only
Offers submitted by Dealers are estimates. Vehicle availability, pricing, taxes, fees, incentives, financing terms, lease terms, residuals, money factors, APRs, trade-in valuations, monthly payments, total amounts due, and all other figures are subject to change, further negotiation, credit approval, inspection (including trade-in inspection), title and registration requirements, and final dealer verification. Photographs, descriptions, mileage, options, and color representations may differ from the actual vehicle. NextAfto does not verify or guarantee any offer.
4. Your account
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at
[email protected] of any unauthorized use. You may not share your account, sublicense access, or use another person's account without permission.
5. User content
You retain ownership of content you submit (text, photos, requests, offers, documents). By submitting content, you grant NextAfto and our service providers a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, modify, adapt, publish, distribute, and create derivative works of that content for any purpose related to operating, providing, promoting, securing, improving, or developing the Service, in any media now known or later developed. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to grant this license and that your content does not infringe any third-party rights or violate any law.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to: (a) submit false, misleading, inaccurate, or fraudulent information, including bogus requests, fake offers, stock or manufacturer photos misrepresented as actual vehicle photos, or stale or unavailable inventory; (b) use the Service for unlawful, deceptive, discriminatory, or harassing purposes; (c) circumvent, disable, or interfere with security or access controls; (d) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code; (e) scrape, crawl, harvest, or collect data using automated means; (f) introduce malware or interfere with the Service's operation; (g) use the Service to send unsolicited communications; (h) infringe any intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; or (i) violate any applicable law or regulation (including motor-vehicle, consumer-protection, advertising, and financial laws).
7. Dealer obligations
Dealers must be properly licensed and authorized to sell, lease, finance, and broker vehicles in every jurisdiction in which they offer to do so via the Service. Dealers represent and warrant that each offer is based on the Customer's stated request, that the offered vehicle is actually in stock and available, that photographs are actual photographs of the offered vehicle, that VIN information is accurate, that all mandatory taxes and fees are included or disclosed, and that the Dealer will honor offers for the period stated. NextAfto may suspend, deactivate, or terminate a Dealer for any reason at any time, without notice, including for breach of these Terms or for any conduct we determine harms the Service or its users.
8. Fees and subscriptions
Use of the Service may require payment of fees, subscriptions, per-lead charges, or other amounts. All fees are payable in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except where required by law or as expressly stated by NextAfto in writing. We may add, change, or eliminate fees on prospective notice. Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination, removal of pending matches, and forfeiture of any unused portion.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, including all software, designs, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, and the "NextAfto" name and marks, is owned by NextAfto and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service in compliance with these Terms. No other rights are granted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
10. Feedback
If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback, you grant NextAfto a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use them for any purpose without compensation, credit, or notice.
11. Third-party services
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party services (for example, vehicle data providers, payment processors, email or SMS providers, cloud-storage providers, calendar providers, and map services). We do not control and are not responsible for any third-party service, and we make no warranties regarding them. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that service's own terms and privacy policy.
12. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEXTAFTO AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, SECURITY, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
NEXTAFTO MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT ANY DEALER OFFER WILL BE AVAILABLE, ACCURATE, COMPETITIVE, HONORED, OR LAWFUL; THAT ANY VEHICLE DESCRIBED IS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE, IN THE CONDITION DESCRIBED, OR FREE OF DEFECTS; OR THAT ANY ESTIMATED PAYMENT, TAX, FEE, OR INCENTIVE WILL MATCH THE FINAL TRANSACTION TERMS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH ANY DECISION TO PURCHASE, LEASE, FINANCE, OR TRADE A VEHICLE.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEXTAFTO AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE; ANY DEALER OFFER, TRANSACTION, COMMUNICATION, OR CONDUCT; ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SYSTEMS; OR ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF NEXTAFTO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
NEXTAFTO'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID NEXTAFTO IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NextAfto and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of or access to the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms or any law; (c) your content; (d) any transaction you enter into with a Dealer or Customer or any third party; or (e) your infringement of any third-party right. NextAfto may, at its option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with NextAfto's defense.
15. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, in our sole discretion. Upon termination, the provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5, 8–14, 16–19, and 21) will survive.
16. Governing law and venue
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or to your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the State of California (excluding its conflict-of-laws rules). Subject to Section 17, you and NextAfto agree that the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any action not subject to arbitration, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.
17. Binding arbitration; class-action waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and NextAfto arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute") will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California, in English, before a single neutral arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator, not any court, has exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of these Terms.
You and NextAfto each agree to bring Disputes only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this class-action waiver is held unenforceable as to any claim, that claim will be severed and proceed in court (subject to Section 16); the remainder will proceed in arbitration.
Opt-out: you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and an unambiguous statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
18. Changes to the Service and these Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any feature) at any time, with or without notice. We may also revise these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms on the Service. The revised Terms take effect when posted (or as otherwise stated). Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.
19. Communications
You consent to receive communications from us electronically (by email, SMS, in-app message, or notice on the Service) and agree that those communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. SMS rates may apply; you can opt out of non-essential SMS by replying STOP. You cannot opt out of transactional or service messages without ceasing use of the Service.
20. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms in whole or in part without notice or consent.
21. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any policies referenced in the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and NextAfto regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements. No waiver of any provision will be deemed a further or continuing waiver. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Headings are for convenience only. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship.
