The Agreement is effective as from the date when the User accepts the GTC (such date, the Effective Date). By accepting the GTC, the User confirms that it has read and understood and agrees to be bound by the GTC forming an integral part of the Agreement.

DrivenUp may amend the Services and the specifications of the Platform at any time, at its sole discretion. While certain Services may facilitate data access and review in connection with dealership and support dealers, any decisions regarding the communication and other dealings with potential customers of the User and the implementation of such decisions shall be reserved to and remain the responsibility of the relevant User. DrivenUp is not involved in any such decision and implementation process and is not a party to the agreement that the User may have with its customers.
