The H-D1™ Marketplace area of the Site (the “H-D1™ Marketplace”) allows dealers to advertise the availability of used Harley-Davidson motorcycles at certain Harley-Davidson authorized dealers, as well as allow Site visitors to offer their bike for sale. The specific terms and conditions of any transactions related to these motorcycles (such as pricing, delivery, trade-in value, warranties, refunds, and confidentiality) entered into between Site visitors and dealers is between such parties, and H-D does not control such terms or conditions. You acknowledge and agree that H-D is not a party or an agent of any transactions conducted via the H-D1™ Marketplace and between you and a dealer. H-D does not set, control, or endorse the price, contract terms, quality, safety, conformance, or legality of any motorcycle advertised or offered for sale via the H-D1™ Marketplace, the ability of you or a dealer to sell motorcycles to consumers or the ability to buy such motorcycles from dealers.
H-D reserves the right to modify listings and descriptions of any of the motorcycles advertised or offered for sale on the H-D1™ Marketplace, or to remove such listings.

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any user submission or other content on the Harley-Davidson websites infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). See the Harley-Davidson, Inc. Policy for User Submitted Content.

Harley-Davidson does not warrant that access to or use of the site will be uninterrupted or error-free or that defects in the site will be corrected. This site, including any content or information contained within it or any site-related service, is provided "as is," with all faults, with no representations or warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality of information, quiet enjoyment, and title/non-infringement. Harley-Davidson specifically disclaims all liability for errors or omissions in, or the misuse or misinterpretation of, any information obtained through the site. Harley-Davidson does not warrant the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information obtained through the site.
You assume total responsibility and risk for your use of this site, site-related services, and linked sites. Harley-Davidson does not warrant that files available for download will be free of viruses, worms, trojan horses or other destructive programming. You are responsible for implementing procedures sufficient to satisfy your needs for data back up and security.

Harley-Davidson and any third parties mentioned on this site are neither responsible nor liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or other damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, those resulting from lost profits, lost data, or business interruption) arising out of or relating in any way to the site, site-related services, content or information contained within the site, and/or any linked site, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory and whether or not advised of the possibility of such damages. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the site, site-related services, and/or linked sites is to stop using the site and/or those services.
Harley-Davidson reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to all or part of this Site, with or without cause, and with or without notice. In the event that any of the Terms of Use are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Use shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. These Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between Harley-Davidson and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof. In its sole discretion, Harley-Davidson may from time-to-time revise these Terms of Use and its Privacy Policy by updating this posting. You should, therefore, periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, so you are aware of any such revisions to which you are bound. Certain provisions of these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages within this Site.
We will work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Site, including products and services ordered or purchased through the Site, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer's satisfaction.
You and Harley-Davidson agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Site, including products and services ordered or purchased through the Site, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Harley-Davidson are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and Harley-Davidson.
If you desire to assert a claim against Harley-Davidson, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Harley-Davidson, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Harley-Davidson should be addressed to: General Counsel, Harley-Davidson, Inc., 3700 W. Juneau Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53208 ("Notice Address"). If Harley-Davidson desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Harley-Davidson, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Harley-Davidson and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Harley-Davidson may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Harley-Davidson or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Harley-Davidson receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including this arbitration agreement. Unless Harley-Davidson and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Harley-Davidson’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Harley-Davidson did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Harley-Davidson will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
YOU AND HARLEY-DAVIDSON AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Harley-Davidson agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

You acknowledge that the Stolen Vehicle Tracking service may not be able to accurately track the location of your vehicle in all scenarios, please see the Service Limitations below. In addition, the Stolen Vehicle Tracking service is solely intended to provide assistance in notifying you of the potential theft of your vehicle and to potentially assist in vehicle recovery. TheH-D™ Connect and Vehicle Integration Services does not prevent vehicle or vehicle content theft or protect against damage or loss. We are not responsible for any losses or other harm you may incur in connection with vehicle theft and advise that you contact law enforcement authorities in respect of any theft of your vehicle.

The vehicle health check data we provide is limited to specific information that can be obtained remotely from the vehicle. The type of statistics and data points will differ depending on the vehicle model and could include data such as odometer, fuel range, battery status, tire pressure, ride mode, charging status, and maintenance schedule.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of or limitations on implied warranties or the limitations on the applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Harley-Davidson will not be responsible nor liable for any direct damages that exceed $150 and Harley-Davidson shall not be responsible for any, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or other damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, those resulting from lost profits, lost data, or business interruption) arising out of or relating in any way to the H-D™ Connect and Vehicle Integration Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory and whether or not advised of the possibility of such damages.

You and Harley-Davidson agree that, unless prohibited by law, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the H-D™ Connect and Vehicle Integration Services, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Harley-Davidson are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and Harley-Davidson.
If you desire to assert a claim against Harley-Davidson, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Harley-Davidson, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Harley-Davidson should be addressed to: General Counsel, Harley-Davidson, Inc., 3700 W. Juneau Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53208 ("Notice Address"). If Harley-Davidson desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Harley-Davidson, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Harley-Davidson and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Harley-Davidson may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Harley-Davidson or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Harley-Davidson receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including this arbitration agreement. Unless Harley-Davidson and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Harley-Davidson's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Harley-Davidson did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Harley-Davidson will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys' fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
You and Harley-Davidson agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Harley-Davidson agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
If you are a consumer outside the United States this will not deprive you of any protection you have under the law of the jurisdiction where you live including where such law requires you to have access to local courts in that jurisdiction.
