Effective Date: September 4, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Fleet-Dex website, applications, services, software, features, accounts, workspaces, dashboards, fleet-management tools, and related services collectively referred to as the “Service.”

By creating an account, accessing the Service, purchasing a subscription, or otherwise using Fleet-Dex, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. About Fleet-Dex

Fleet-Dex provides software tools designed to help businesses and fleet operators organize and manage vehicle information, maintenance records, mileage, expenses, documents, reminders, fleet activity, and related operational information.

Fleet-Dex is a software platform only. Fleet-Dex does not operate, maintain, inspect, repair, insure, register, or certify your vehicles.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to use Fleet-Dex.

If you use Fleet-Dex on behalf of a business, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

In that case, “you” and “your” include both you and the entity you represent.

Certain Fleet-Dex features require an account.

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and current information
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials
  • Use reasonable security practices to protect your account

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, disputes that are not subject to arbitration will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Riverside County, California, and each party consents to the jurisdiction of those courts.

33. Informal Dispute Resolution

Before filing a lawsuit or initiating arbitration, you and Fleet-Dex agree to attempt to resolve disputes informally.

A party must provide written notice describing:

  • The dispute
  • The relevant facts
  • The requested resolution

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days.

34. Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court or claims concerning intellectual-property rights, you and Fleet-Dex agree that disputes arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved through binding individual arbitration.

Arbitration will be conducted by a recognized arbitration provider under applicable consumer or commercial arbitration rules, as appropriate.

Arbitration will take place on an individual basis.

35. Class Action Waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND FLEET-DEX AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

Neither party may participate as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, representative, or collective action concerning disputes covered by the arbitration agreement.

36. Small Claims Court

Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration.

  • Your Fleet-Dex account email

41. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

The unenforceable provision will be interpreted as closely as possible to its intended purpose where permitted by law.

42. Waiver

Failure by Fleet-Dex to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive Fleet-Dex's right to enforce that provision later.

43. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Fleet-Dex Privacy Policy and any applicable subscription or order terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Fleet-Dex concerning the Service.

44. Electronic Communications
