3. PAYMENT TERMS, DIGITAL ASSET PAYMENTS

Certain products or services available through the Site, including without limitation vehicle transaction facilitation, titling, registration, or related services, may require payment of fees. By initiating a transaction through the Site, you agree to pay all applicable fees, charges, taxes, and other amounts disclosed to you at the time of the transaction.

All prices are stated in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated. You authorize the Company and/or its third-party payment processors to charge your selected payment method for the full amount due in connection with your transaction.

The Company may permit customers to utilize a digital asset payment option processed exclusively through Stripe or another designated third-party payment processor.

The Company reserves the right to modify pricing at any time prior to confirmation of a transaction. A transaction is not final until confirmed by the Company or its designated payment processor.

The Company may utilize third-party payment processors to facilitate transactions. The Company is not responsible for errors, interruptions, or security incidents attributable to such third-party processors. Your use of any third-party payment service may be subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by such provider.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, all payments are final and non-refundable, subject to applicable law to remain consistent with consumer protection laws, chargeback analog issues and state refund laws.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, permit payment using digital assets, cryptocurrencies, or other blockchain-based tokens (“Digital Assets”).

If you elect to use Digital Assets as a payment method, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Pricing in U.S. Dollars: All products and services are priced in U.S. Dollars. The amount of Digital Assets required to complete a transaction will be determined based on the applicable exchange rate at the time specified by the Company or its payment processor.
• Volatility: Digital Assets are highly volatile. You assume all risks associated with fluctuations in value between the time you initiate a transaction and the time it is confirmed.
• Processing: Digital Asset payments are processed entirely by Stripe or another designated third-party payment processor. The Company does not receive, hold, custody, exchange, or transmit Digital Assets and receives only U.S. Dollars from such processors. The Company is not a digital asset exchange, broker, custodian, money transmitter, or money services business and does not provide Digital Asset services. Payment shall be deemed received only upon confirmation by the Company’s designated payment processor and receipt of U.S. Dollars by the Company. The Company’s obligations are expressly conditioned upon successful payment processing.
• Refunds: Refunds for transactions funded through a Digital Asset payment method will be processed exclusively through the Company’s designated third party payment processor. Where applicable, the refunded amount may be converted into Digital Assets by the payment processor and returned to the original wallet address associated with the transaction, in accordance with the processor’s terms and policies. The Company does not control the timing, conversion rate, wallet mechanics, or settlement of such refunds and is not responsible for fluctuations in Digital Asset value between the time of the original payment and the time the refund is processed.
• Third-Party Providers: Digital Asset payment functionality is provided exclusively through third-party payment processors such as Stripe. The Company does not control and is not responsible for the processing, validation, screening, conversion, settlement, or operation of Digital Asset transactions handled by such providers. Your use of such payment functionality is subject to the applicable third-party provider’s terms and policies.
• Compliance: The Company reserves the right to conduct identity verification, request additional documentation, delay, suspend, cancel, or refuse any transaction for compliance, fraud prevention, or legal reasons, and to cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities as required by law.

The Company reserves the right to decline or suspend Digital Asset payment methods at any time without notice.
