These Terms of Use, together with the limited warranty available at (“Limited Warranty”), privacy policy available at (“Privacy Policy”), and the rules, policies, terms and conditions set forth in, referred to and/or linked herein, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, are, collectively, the “Agreement.” This Agreement constitutes a legal agreement between you (“you”) and WRENCH INC. including its subsidies Lemon Squad, YourMechanic, Mobile Battery Solutions, and SouthWest Inspections Services (incorporated in the State of Delaware, hereinafter referred to as “Wrench Inc.,” “we” or “us”).

All content appearing on the Wrench Inc. Platform is our property or the property of our partners and is protected by international copyright laws. Certain names, graphics and logos are trademarks, service marks, or trade dress (together, “Marks”) of Wrench Inc.. Our Marks may not be used for any purpose except pursuant to our Trademark Usage Policy. All other Marks are the property of their respective owners and may not be used without their prior written consent.
Service Incidents. We may change, modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without reason. You acknowledge that the operation of the Services may from time to time encounter technical or other problems and may not necessarily continue uninterrupted or without technical or other errors and Wrench Inc shall not be responsible to you or others for any such interruptions, errors or problems or an outright discontinuance of the Services. Wrench Inc has no obligation to maintain or update the Services or to continue producing or releasing new versions of the Services.
We will make reasonable efforts to keep the Services during our normal business hours days a week, except for: (i) planned downtime (of which we will endeavor to provide prior notice); or (ii) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems or Internet service provider failures or delays.
Your Use of the Services
User Accounts. In order to use most aspects of the Services, you must register for and maintain a user account (“Account”). Account registration requires you to submit certain personal information, such as your name, email address, address, vehicle information, and/or mobile phone number, and/or at least one valid payment method (e.g., a credit card). You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account and to update that information as needed to maintain the accuracy of that information. Your vehicle information may include the license plate number, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), make, model, year, engine size, trim, and other information that is necessary for the work you have requested. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information may result in your inability to access and use the Services or Wrench Inc.’s termination of this Agreement. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account, and you agree to maintain the security and secrecy of your Account username and password at all times. We are not liable for any loss that you may suffer through the use of your password by others. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account or of any other breach of security known to you with respect to Wrench Inc.
Scheduling a Job. To request an appointment for Vehicle Services (a “Job” and a “Job Request”), you may be asked to specify the type of service that you think is required, the location where you would like the Job to be performed, and the date and time that you would like the Job to take place. You agree that it is your responsibility to provide a suitable location for the Job, and to ensure that the Technician has proper access and permission, and is legally authorized to complete the Job at the location.
Once you submit a Job Request, we may provide you with a price and/or a list of possible Technicians along with their experience information and “rating” based on previous customer reviews (if applicable). We reserve the right to modify, add, or delete items and/or price at any time prior to billing you. If you have agreed with the Technician to modify, add, or delete items in the Job Request, or to reschedule a Job, the change must be documented within the Wrench platform either by you or the Technician. When you reschedule a Job, you agree to do so through the Wrench Inc. Platform and may be subject to additional fees.
You agree to treat Technicians courteously and lawfully, to provide a safe and appropriate working environment that is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and to provide reasonable cooperation to enable Technicians to complete the Job. We do not control the availability of the independent Technicians on the Wrench Inc. Platform. You acknowledge that your selected Technician may be unavailable from time to time, e.g. due to illness, or vacation.
You may elect to provide parts for a Technician to install as part of a Job. If you elect to provide partial or all parts, you agree to void the Limited Warranty offered by Wrench Inc. for parts installed as part of the Service. You also acknowledge that any subsequent labor hours needed to secure the appropriate parts, due to inaccurate customer supplied parts, will impact the Job estimate. In the event a Technician must use incremental time to shop and purchase for a correct part, a Job invoice will be updated to reflect the associated labor and material cost totaling no less than twenty five percent of the total labor. Wrench Inc. is not liable for incorrect customer supplied parts.
Plastic, composite and rubber engine and cooling system components are often affected by age and temperature fluctuations and become fragile over time. Because of this, such parts can break or even disintegrate during procedures that involve their disassembly or handling. You understand that Wrench Inc. will not be held liable for these types of component failures, and that in the event of such, Wrench Inc. will provide you with a revised estimate to include the replacement of the failed component.
If you would like to receive the replaced vehicle parts upon completion of the Job, please email us at hello@Wrench.com , and, if applicable, you will be charged the core price for the replacement part and you will be responsible for proper disposal of such parts in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any defective parts removed from your car in connection with the servicing of a claim under our Limited Warranty must be returned to us.
Communications. You expressly consent and agree to receive communications from us, including via email, text message, calls, and push notifications, to the cellular telephone number you provided to us. You understand that you may receive communications generated by automatic telephone dialing systems which will deliver pre-recorded messages sent by or on behalf of Wrench Inc. or its affiliated companies, or Technicians, including operational communications concerning your Account, use of the Wrench Inc. Platform or Services, updates concerning new and existing features on the Wrench Inc. Platform, communications concerning promotions, and news concerning us and our Services. You may opt out of receiving text (SMS) messages from us at any time by texting the word STOP from the mobile device receiving the messages. You acknowledge that opting out of receiving text messages may impact your use of the Services. You agree to our use of a service provider to mask your telephone number when you call or exchange text messages with a Technician. During this process, we will receive and store data, including the date and time of the call or text message, the phone numbers, and the content of the text messages. You agree to our use and disclosure of this data for legitimate business purposes. We may send you confirmation and other transactional emails regarding the Services. We may also send you emails or text messages about services that we think might interest you (“Promotional Emails”). You can unsubscribe from Promotional Emails at any time by clicking unsubscribe in our email communications or contacting us.
Promotional Codes or Credits. We may create promotional codes or credits that may be redeemed for Account credit, or other features or benefits related to the Services and/or a Technician’s services, subject to any additional terms associated with each promotion (“Promo Codes”). You agree that Promo Codes: (i) must be used by the intended audience and for the intended purpose and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public form or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by us; (iii) may be disabled by us at any time for any reason without liability to Wrench Inc. ; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that we established for such Promo Code; (v) are not valid for cash; and (vi) may expire prior to your use. Wrench Inc. reserves the right to interpret how the Promo Codes will be used, or to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of Promo Codes by you or any other user in the event that we determine or believe that the use or redemption of the Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms or these Terms.
User Content. We may permit you from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to the Services, initiation of support requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions (“User Content”). Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to us, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, unrestricted, non-exclusive, absolute, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, transmit, reproduce, exhibit, disclose, display, transform, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised, without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity. Further, we shall be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such User Content for any purpose whatsoever, including developing, manufacturing and marketing products and/or services incorporating any User Content. You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant us the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor our use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation. You agree to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by us in our sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. We may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at our sole discretion and at any time and for any reason or no reason, without notice to you.
Network Access and Devices. You are responsible for obtaining the compatible hardware or devices and data network access necessary to use the Services. The Services may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications and we shall not be held liable for any such malfunction or delay.
Payment Terms
You understand that use of the Services may result in charges to you for the Vehicle Services you receive from a Technician (“Charges”). Charges may include any applicable federal, state and local taxes. At the time you schedule a Job, we will record your preferred payment method information and validate your payment information. You authorize the payment of Charge(s) according to your preferred payment method information, or, if applicable, the payment of a Late Cancellation Fee if you cancel the Job and the payment of rescheduling fee if you reschedule the Job. You agree not to make any alternative payment arrangement with the Technician who performs the Job. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all credit cards and all other personal information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any damage that may result should any information be released to any third parties, and you agree to hold us harmless for any damages that may result therefrom.
After you have received Vehicle Services obtained through your use of the Service, we will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Technician, as such Technician’s limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Technician. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by us. All Charges are due immediately. If your primary payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that we may, as the Technician’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available.
We reserve the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all Vehicle Services at any time in our sole discretion. If a Technician changes the Vehicle Services needed, or adds additional Vehicle Services, you authorize the payment of updated or modified Charges. If the Technician determines that your car requires services other than the Vehicle Services you specified in your original Job Request or that the Technician is not able to perform such work, you may be charged a separate diagnosis fee.
Termination
Termination by Wrench Inc. We may terminate this Agreement or terminate or suspend your Account immediately at any time for any reason or for no reason upon notice to you. If we terminate or suspend your Account, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your Account, we reserve the right to pursue any available legal action. When terminating your Account, we may delete the Account and any information in it. You have no ownership rights to your Account.
Termination by You. You may terminate this Agreement by completely and permanently ceasing to use the Services (provided that there are no outstanding Services ordered under your Account). If you attempt to terminate this Agreement while there are still outstanding Services ordered under your Account, this Agreement shall not terminate until such Services have been performed or otherwise canceled as permitted by this Agreement.
Reschedule and Cancellation
You may terminate this Agreement by completely and permanently ceasing to use the Services (provided that there are no outstanding Services ordered under your Account). If you attempt to terminate this Agreement while there are still outstanding Services ordered under your Account, this Agreement shall not terminate until such Services have been performed or otherwise canceled as permitted by this Agreement.
LemonSquad Inspections. All sales are final for inspection Jobs ordered on the LemonSquad website. In the event a vehicle is sold before we are able to dispatch a technician to inspect the vehicle, we will honor the amount paid towards a future order.
YourMechanic Pre-Rescheduling of Jobs by You. You may reschedule a scheduled Job at any time, subject to the following:
1) if you reschedule more than 48 hours before a scheduled Service appointment or Job, there is no reschedule fee;
2) if you reschedule within 48 hours you will be charged for a $25 reschedule fee.
YourMechanic Cancellation of Jobs by You. You may cancel a scheduled Job at any time, subject to the following:
1) if you cancel more than 48 hours before a scheduled Service appointment or Job, there is no Cancellation Fee;
2) if you cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled start time for the Job or scheduled Service, you will be charged for a $75 Cancellation Fee;
3) if you cancel less than 12 hours from the scheduled Service appointment or Job, you will be charged a $150 Late Cancellation Fee.
YourMechanic Cancellation of Jobs by Technicians. When a Technician cancels a scheduled Job, we generally notify you and make your Service request available for another Technician. However, we cannot guarantee that a canceled Job will be selected by another Technician and rescheduled or that the Job Request will be completed. Technicians reserve the right to refuse a Job Request. You hereby agree to hold us harmless from any liability that may result from the cancellation of a Job or refusal of a Technician to complete a Job.
There may be instances where, after a Technician has arrived at your location, the Technician finds that he or she is not able to successfully complete the Job, for reasons including, without limitation, that the Technician does not have access or permission to work on your vehicle at the location you provided, that the location is not fit for automotive services (e.g., unsafe location or uneven surface), or that the information you provided with respect to your vehicle is inaccurate or incomplete (e.g. wrong vehicle information or vandalized car). In such instances, you may be charged a minimum fee or Late Cancellation Fee.
Gift cards
Wrench Inc. Gift Cards may be used only for the purchase of eligible Vehicle Services through the Wrench Inc. Platform. Except as required by law, Gift Cards cannot be transferred for value or redeemed for cash. Charges are deducted from the Gift Card balance. To redeem or view a Gift Card balance, please visit our user account page. We are not responsible if a Gift Card is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without permission.
Locked-In Booking Discount – YourMechanic ONLY
If the customer elects the following locked-in booking discount upon booking their appointment, the customer will be subject to the following terms and conditions:
– If the customer chooses to reschedule or cancel their appointment 48 hours or more in advance of their appointment start time, the locked-in booking discount will be invalidated and the discount amount will be charged to the customer immediately.
– If the customer chooses to reschedule their appointment within 48 hours prior to their appointment start time, the locked-in booking discount will be invalidated and the discount amount plus the rescheduling fee will be charged to the customer immediately.
– Any subsequent rescheduling of the appointment by the customer that is within 48 hours of the appointment start time will result in a rescheduling fee of $25 charged immediately to the customer.
– If the customer chooses to cancel their appointment within 48 hours prior to their appointment start time, the locked-in booking discount will be invalidated and the discount amount plus the Cancellation Fee will be charged to the customer immediately.
Inspection or Diagnosis Work
We do not provide inspections that are equivalent to state inspections or SMOG inspections. Obtaining any inspection through the Wrench Inc. Platform does not indicate that your vehicle would pass a state inspection or a SMOG inspection.
If you schedule a diagnosis Job with a Technician, he or she will first seek to diagnose the problem. In performing a diagnosis, he or she may go through a step-by-step process to rule out or confirm part failures through visual inspection and/or appropriate tests. Although Technicians use their experience in performing diagnoses, we cannot guarantee that any particular diagnosis will identify all of the problems with your car (and/or solutions) during the first inspection. Sometimes, the only way to get to the root cause of a problem is to go through a process of elimination – that is, to replace a part suspected to be defective and then see whether the problem still exists.
After receiving a diagnosis, you may request subsequent repair work recommended based on the diagnosis. You agree that our Limited Warranty applies only to such repair work, not to the completeness of the diagnosis or to any problems that you may be experiencing with your car (other than a problem with the replaced part itself). For example, if your car has an oil leak, the leak may be coming from two or three different places in your engine. The Technician may recommend replacing the part responsible for the most obvious source of the leak, and then recheck the car to see if there are other components that are leaking too. You understand that, if there are other leaking components, replacing those other components would be separate work subject to an additional Charge.
Similarly, if you schedule a Job for a specific repair, but DO NOT schedule a diagnosis, we reserve the right to charge one hour of labor if our Technicians discover upon arrival that the Job requested if not serviceable in a mobile setting or if the issue requires another job and you decline that job. We encourage customers to always book a diagnosis in the event they are not certain of the services or repairs needed.
Pre-purchase Inspection
Pre-purchase inspections are based on what is seen and heard through the eyes and ears of the Technician. Weather and light conditions, as well as the cleanliness of the vehicle both inside and out, can reduce the accuracy of the inspection, making things such as prior repainting and body work difficult to detect. For the most accurate inspection report, the vehicle must be clean, dry and well-lit at the time of inspection. Technicians do not clean or disassemble vehicles prior to or during pre-purchase inspections.
Technicians go to your location to inspect the car. They do not put the car on a lift but may use floor jacks to raise up parts of the car. Pre-purchase inspections are not diagnosis Jobs. Diagnostic equipment is not typically used in a pre-purchase inspection. Technicians may identify the VIN (vehicle identification number), but do not check the authenticity of the VIN, history, or title.
Wrench Inc.’s services are similar to what you would see and hear if you were to inspect the car yourself and you had the same level of experience as the Technician. Since many aspects of the inspection are subjective, the Technician is providing you with his or her opinion. If you were to perform the inspection yourself, you might come to different conclusions. Lemon Squad inspectors do not use hoists or tools or dismantle the vehicles. Pre-purchase Inspection Services is a visual inspection of all reasonably accessible items only, and some problems may not be observable during the inspection.
Each inspection is limited to the items expressly stated in the inspection report. If you request inspection of an item not included within the inspection report, the Technician may make a reasonable effort to inspect that additional item; however, there is no guarantee that the additional item will be inspected. If reference to the additional item is not expressly included in the inspection report, you should assume that the item was not inspected.
Technicians may test drive vehicles if conditions allow, but a test drive is not a required aspect of a pre-purchase inspection report. Unless the inspection report specifically states that a test drive was conducted, no such test drive was conducted.
Pre-purchase inspection reports are not guaranteed or warranted, because changes in the vehicle can occur or manifest themselves between the time of inspected and the time of purchase, and because during a pre-purchase inspection the Technician cannot see inside an engine or transmission and does not take the whole car apart to check every component in the car. Thus, impending failures may not be evident at the time of inspection.
Neither we nor any Technician advises on the value of any vehicle, whether or not to purchase a vehicle, or authenticates a vehicle’s origin. Regardless of any comments made by a Technician, you purchase or decline to purchase a vehicle at your own risk. We do not determine if a vehicle is emission compliant or whether a vehicle will perform properly. You acknowledge and agree that the Wrench Inc. inspection does not create any warranty for any vehicle you may purchase and that your right to recover for any defects in the vehicle, whether or not disclosed in a report produced by Wrench Inc., is limited to any warranty the seller may offer.
An inspection does not act as a warranty or as an insurance policy for any vehicle. You acknowledge and agree that if you purchase any vehicle inspected by Wrench Inc., you are fully responsible for all costs for repairs and maintenance on your vehicle, whether or not covered by any other insurance policy or warranty. You acknowledge and agree that the decision to purchase any vehicle remains your own responsibility and that you are responsible for determining whether a vehicle is under warranty or properly insured.
Vetting of Third Party Providers
Technicians may be subject to an extensive vetting process before they can register for and during their use of the Wrench Inc. Platform, including a comprehensive criminal background check. Although we may perform background checks of Technicians, we cannot confirm that each Technician is who they claim to be and therefore, we cannot and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of identity or background check information or any information provided through the Wrench Inc. Platform. When interacting with Technicians, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE WRENCH INC. PLATFORM AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE WRENCH INC. FROM ANY LIABILITY RELATED THERETO. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE WRENCH INC. PLATFORM.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Wrench Inc.’s Legal Department, located at 701 5th Ave Ste 7250, Seattle, WA 98104. The arbitration will be conducted in Seattle, Washington, by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Applicable Law By accessing or using the Wrench Inc. Platform or any Vehicle Services, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country or state, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Wrench Inc. .
