This Site contains photographs of Scion vehicles submitted by Members ("Member Vehicle Images").

Some Member Vehicles depicted on this Site may also include parts and accessories that are not genuine Scion parts and accessories.

THE TOYOTA ENTITIES DO NO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE COMPATIBILITY, PERFORMANCE, SUITABILITY OR SAFETY OF NON-GENUINE SCION PARTS AND ACCESSORIES FOR USE ON SCION VEHICLES. USE OF NON-GENUINE SCION PARTS OR ACCESSORIES ON A SCION VEHICLE WILL VOID THE SCION WARRANTY, MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT PERFORMANCE, DURABILITY AND SAFETY AND MAY RENDER THE VEHICLE ILLEGAL FOR OPERATION ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS.

We reserve the right to terminate, and/or suspend access to or use of, any Advertiser Account at any time if we believe that there is, has been, or may be, any violation of any of the Terms (including without limitation, any of the Advertiser Terms and Conditions), or if we believe the Advertiser Account has been compromised in any manner (e.g., due to unauthorized access). There will NOT be any fee or other compensation charged by us for posting an Advertisement to this Site, and we do not intend to solicit any business from any sellers or buyers as a result of any posting in the Classified Section.

11.2  No Sales In North Carolina. No residents and/or citizens of North Carolina may post Advertisements, nor may any vehicle that is registered in North Carolina be identified in any Advertisement. Further, no sales related to vehicles advertised in any Advertisement shall be consummated in North Carolina.

11.3  Horsepower References. Any reference to horsepower associated with any vehicle identified in any Advertisement must state only the Society of Automotive Engineers horsepower rating of such engine, as installed (net), as determined by the Society of Automotive Engineers Standard J1349.

11.4  No Involvement by Toyota. Toyota does not sell vehicles directly via the posting in the Classified Section. Toyota is not a party to any transaction between buyers and sellers of items described in any Advertisement (including without limitation, any vehicles advertised in the Classified Section); we do not transfer legal ownership from the seller to the buyer. Terms of sale remain subject to negotiation between buyers and sellers. Neither Toyota nor any of the other Toyota Entities can (or do they) ensure the accuracy, timeliness, authenticity, legality or completeness of any information provided by any buyer or seller. Neither Toyota nor any of the other Toyota Entities guarantees the availability, performance, safety, authenticity, reliability, legality or quality of any item identified in any Advertisement, or the creditworthiness or veracity of any seller or buyer. Responsibility for the content of any Advertisements, including typographical and other errors regarding price and other information, as well as any links thereto, lies with the Member that submitted the Submission (and any seller of the item contained in the Advertisement). The Toyota Entities assume no responsibility or liability for verifying whether the listings comply with applicable laws and the Terms (including without limitation, any links thereto); such responsibility rests entirely with the Member that submits the Submission (and any seller of the item contained in the Advertisement). The Toyota Entities are not responsible or liable for your use and/or reliance on such information. You are undertaking this Service at your own risk, and you understand and agree that you will undertake your own independent evaluation of any items identified in, and bear all risks associated with using, any Advertisement, including without limitation, any communications with such Person posting such information (including any claims of fraud, misrepresentation, personal or property injury, damage and/or death). Further, you understand and agree that none of the Toyota Entities is responsible or required to be involved in any way with any disputes that you might have associated with any dealings arising from any Advertisement. See Section 25.0 for further disclaimers and limitations of liability.

11.5  Warnings to Consider. With respect to prices, please note that the prices listed in Advertisements may exclude sales/use taxes, finance charges, and title, license, regulatory, documentary, emission testing and/or compliance fees, all of which may be added to the advertised price in determining the final sale price of a particular vehicle. Some of the used car listings include vehicles that are shown to be "certified" as meeting certain standards established in connection with a pre-owned vehicle program. Neither Toyota nor any of the other Toyota Entities is responsible or liable for (a) descriptions of what is, or is not, included in the identified price, and/or (b) any decision to certify a vehicle as "certified", and/or the veracity of any statement indicating that any particular vehicle is "certified".

11.6  Personal Safety Concerns. Neither Toyota nor any of the other Toyota Entities performs any background checks on Members posting Advertisements (including sellers identified in Advertisements) or buyers, and cannot (and does not) warrant that any personal or other information you may provide to sellers or buyers in order to engage in a sales transaction will not be used for fraudulent, criminal, or other illegal or inappropriate purposes (including without limitation, bulk notices and/or spam). We urge you to use caution before providing any personal or sensitive information through this Site, or related to these sales transactions. Consider creating your e-mail or inmail and/or contact information in a manner to keep your identity anonymous. Also, only meet at public locales; keep your family and friends aware of your plans; take your cell phone with you; consider having a friend accompany you; and trust your instincts about the situation.

11.7  Copies of Advertisements. All Advertisements may be stored in a database, even after "deletion", and may continue to be archived based upon our own administrative policies. We cannot guarantee complete security of stored information.

11.8  Additional Instructions. We may place additional restrictions on use of the Site (e.g., number of days content of Advertisement shall be placed on Site; number and size of postings permitted; frequency for posting, modifying and/or deleting Advertisements; locale of posting; type of information that may be posted; etc.). You shall comply with all of those instructions and/or guidelines. The Toyota Entities shall not be responsible or liable to you or any other third parties for any modification, suspension and/or discontinuance of the Service (and/or any of said instructions or guidelines) and/or failure to enforce any of the Terms hereof. You agree that, at its sole discretion, Toyota has the right (but not the obligation) to delete or deactivate your account, block communications (such as the e-mail or inmail capability) and/or otherwise terminate your access to or use of the Service (or any part thereof), immediately and without notice, and remove and/or discard any Submissions (including without limitation, any Advertisement) for any reason and for no reason. You agree that none of the Toyota Entities shall be liable or responsible for enforcement of such right. You agree not to use the Service after such termination.

11.9  Avoid Being a Victim. Be careful when dealing with inquiries regarding your Advertisement. Avoid wire transferring funds; beware of any request asking for an overpayment and providing you with the "change", or issuing you a foreign cashier's check. Only use safe and secure means of payment. Do not give out your personal financial information. We will not be sending you a request to provide financial information or passwords so do not reply to such a request, and instead delete it without opening any attachments. If you suspect any Advertisement is a scam, kindly send an email to scioncm@scionowners.com.

11.10  No Other Advertising. Except for advertising promoting Toyota's products and services, and the Advertisements permitted pursuant to this Section 11.0, no other advertising shall be permitted on the Site.
