Reservation Agreement
This Reservation Agreement (“Agreement”) governs the placing of a reservation (“Reservation”) with Scout Motors Inc., 1775 Tysons Blvd, 5th Floor, McLean, VA 22102 (“Scout Motors”) for a Scout Motors vehicle (“Scout vehicle”). Please carefully read this Agreement before submitting your Reservation. By submitting your Reservation, you agree to be legally bound by all terms of this Agreement.
1. Reservation Agreement
By this Agreement, together with your payment of the Reservation Fee, you are reserving a future purchase of your selected Scout vehicle. This Agreement does not obligate you to ever purchase a Scout vehicle, and it does not obligate Scout Motors to ever sell you a Scout vehicle. This Agreement is not a contract for the purchase, lease, or finance of a specific Scout vehicle that has already been manufactured and given a Vehicle Identification Number, and it does not lock in final pricing, a firm production slot, a firm delivery date, or specific configuration of a Scout vehicle.
After you submit your Reservation and the Scout vehicle you selected becomes available in production, we will invite you to complete the configuration of your Scout vehicle on our website. Once you have completed the configuration of your Scout vehicle, we will provide you with confirmation of your Scout vehicle configuration, and a detailed break-down of the approximate final price. To purchase the Scout vehicle you have selected and configured, you will need to execute Scout Motors’ standard Agreement for Purchase or a lease agreement if Scout Motors is, at that time, offering leases to consumers in the state/province/territory in which you reside (collectively, “Final Sales Agreement”) which will include additional terms and conditions, including the final purchase price for your Scout vehicle. Additional payments, including applicable taxes, other governmental fees, and/or shipping or destination charges, will be required as part of your final purchase of a Scout vehicle and will be reflected in your Final Sales Agreement.
By placing your Reservation, and thereby entering into this Agreement, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your state/province/territory (whichever is greater) and legally competent in the jurisdiction from which you are entering this Agreement to do so. If you are reserving a production slot for a Scout vehicle on behalf of a legal entity or organization, you further represent that you have actual authority to bind such legal entity or organization to this Agreement. We reserve the right to accept or decline Reservations in our sole discretion.
2. Reservation Fee
You will be charged a one-time fee of $100 USD or 150 CAD(“Reservation Fee”) when you place your Reservation for a Scout vehicle. Placing a Reservation, which includes acceptance of this Agreement, constitutes your agreement to be charged the Reservation Fee using your provided payment method. The Reservation Fee is not a pre-payment or installment on the Scout vehicle that you may ultimately purchase, nor does the Reservation Fee guarantee the allocation of a Scout vehicle. All vehicle orders require an approved credit application and/or Final Sales Agreement to be completed prior to final delivery of the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in the Reservation being canceled and the Reservation Fee being refunded.
You can cancel your Reservation at any time and receive a full refund of the Reservation Fee by sending an email from the email address that you used to make the Reservation to support@scoutmotors.com. If you ultimately execute a Final Sales Agreement and accept delivery of a Scout vehicle, we will provide a credit to the final price equivalent to the Reservation Fee.
3. Preliminary Price Estimate
Any pricing provided to you in advance of the Final Sales Agreement (“Preliminary Price Estimate”) is only being offered to you as an estimate for illustrative purposes only, does not constitute an advertisement, solicitation, credit application, or offer for direct sale, financing, or leasing, and is subject to change. The Preliminary Price Estimate shown as part of your vehicle configuration might not include documentation fees, applicable taxes, government fees, and/or shipping or destination charges. Because such taxes, fees, and other costs are subject to change and will depend upon differing factors (such as where you choose to register the Scout vehicle), they will be calculated closer to the time of delivery and will be indicated on the Final Sales Agreement executed between you and Scout Motors.
The Preliminary Price Estimate does not reflect any changes that you may choose to make to the vehicle configuration. If you make changes to the vehicle configuration, you may be subject to potential price increases for any pricing adjustments made since your original Reservation. Any changes made to your vehicle configuration, including any changes in the method of delivery, delivery location, or estimated delivery date, will be reflected in a subsequent vehicle configuration or in the Final Sales Agreement.
You acknowledge that the estimated battery range and other available features, options, and accessories, and the pricing for them, may change before you execute the Final Sales Agreement. This means that your final price as will be reflected on the Final Sales Agreement could be higher than the Preliminary Price Estimate as a result of changes in the base price for the Scout vehicle or any of its features, options, or accessories, including, without limitation, model change-overs, increased labor or material costs, etc. Moreover, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue vehicle models, related products, features, options, and accessories and such discontinuance may result in changes to the final price as will be reflected on the Final Sales Agreement.
4. Delivery
Your priority in for the delivery of a Scout vehicle will be set, in part, by the date of payment of your Reservation Fee. The actual date of delivery will depend upon a variety of factors, including, among other things, your priority, our manufacturing schedule, your execution of the Final Sales Agreement, and the method and location of delivery of the Scout vehicle. There is no estimated or guaranteed delivery date based on your Reservation or this Agreement, nor does the Reservation Fee guarantee allocation of a Scout vehicle. Any estimated delivery time frames provided are estimates only provided for informational purposes, and are subject to change. While Scout makes every effort to provide accurate estimates, unforeseen circumstances including (but not limited to) production delays, transportation issues, or supply chain disruptions may impact the estimated delivery schedule. As such, you acknowledge and agree that Scout will not be liable to you for delays in delivery. The method of delivery of the Scout vehicle will be set out in the Final Sales Agreement.
5. Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
The information you provide with your Reservation will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (“Privacy Policy”), each of which is incorporated herein by reference and available on our website scoutmotors.com/legal. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how it will be treated.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that we are not liable for any direct, special, consequential, punitive, indirect, or incidental damages of any kind whatsoever, including lost profits, loss of business or loss of opportunity, regardless of the basis or circumstances of any claim, damage, loss, or expense, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise. Your sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for any claims, damages, costs, or expenses arising under, out of, or related in any way to this Agreement and/or your Reservation is return of the Reservation Fee.
7. No Assignment or Re-Sellers
You may not assign your rights under this Agreement or your Reservation without our express, written consent. We reserve the right, in our sole and exclusive discretion, to cancel any reservation that we believe has been made with a view toward resale of any Scout vehicle or that has otherwise been made in bad faith.
Without limiting the generality of any other section of this Reservation Agreement, we reserve the right to limit or refuse any reservation you place with us. Further, we reserve the right to verify the validity of any reservation and/or cancel any reservation if we find evidence of fraud, tampering and/or any other violation of this Reservation Agreement. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, limit or cancel the number of reservations submitted per person, or per household. These restrictions may include reservations placed by or under the same credit card, and/or reservations that use the same billing and/or delivery address.
All reservations are subject to verification by us at any time and for any reason. We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity (in a form acceptable to us): (i) for the purposes of verifying the legitimacy of any reservation and/or other information; and/or (ii) for any other reason we deem necessary, in our sole and absolute discretion, for the purposes of fulfilling a reservation in accordance with our interpretation of the terms and conditions of this Reservation Agreement.
