CLIENT ACCOUNT

In order to access and use certain sections and features of the SOFCAR Services, you must first register and create an account with SOFCAR (“Client Account”).

If anyone other than yourself accesses your Client Account and/or any of your Client Platforms’ settings, they may perform any actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the SOFCAR Services), make changes to your Client Platform(s) and Client Account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.

Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your Client Account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust – as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Client Account and/or Client Platforms (including for any representations, warranties and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.


You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your Client Account and using the SOFCAR Services, to which you are the sole and exclusive rights holder. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s) contact and billing details, including your valid e-mail address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the Client Account and/or Client Content (as defined below) submitted to us.

In case of a dispute on Client Account ownership, we reserve the right to determine ownership to a Client Account based on our reasonable judgment, whether or not an independent investigation has been conducted by us. However, if we cannot make such determination (as we may deem in our sole discretion), we reserve the right to avoid doing so and/or suspend a Client Account until the parties disputing such ownership, reach a resolution, without liability to you or to any other party. We may request documentation (e.g. government-issued ID, a business license) that may assist us in determining ownership. Among others, we may consider the principles set forth below.

1. SOFCAR will consider the owner of a Client Account, Client Platform and/or Client Content created and/or uploaded to the relevant SOFCAR Service, as the person or entity who has access to the e-mail address then listed in SOFCAR’s records for such Client Account under which such Client Platform or Client Content was created.

2. If any Paid Services were purchased via a Client Account, SOFCAR will consider the owner of such Client Account and/or the relevant Client Platform and/or Client Content created thereunder, to be the person or entity whose billing details were used to purchase such Paid Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when applicable if a Client Platform was connected to an external domain name (either imported or purchased as part of certain Paid Services), and such domain’s registration information is publicly available via the WHOIS database provided on the www.whois.net website or on SOFCAR’s database, SOFCAR will consider the owner of such Client Platform as the person or entity registered as the registrant of such domain thereunder. In the event that an individual and an organization are both registered as the registrant or the registrant organization of such domain, SOFCAR will consider the organization as the actual owner of the domain, and therefore as the owner of the Client Platform connected to such domain. In event the Billing Information indicates one person as the owner of the Client Platform and the domain registration indicates a different owner, SOFCAR shall consider the person registered as the owner of the domain connected to the SOFCAR Account as the owner of the Client Platform.

3. Notwithstanding the forgoing, SOFCAR shall have the right to determine the ownership of Client Content and/or a Client Website as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in event SOFCAR deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by SOFCAR.
