    1. Company uses the following criteria as part of its registration enrollment process ("registration") for new limousine companies, with the exception of Master Accounts (as described below) applying for membership in our network. Company confirms at the time of a limousine company’s registration that a prospective new limousine company member:
       1. can provide evidence of the minimum required licensing. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements with the business and the applicable state and local licensing authorities prior to initiating the enrollment process. In some states, licenses may be required by the county or local authority in which the limousine services are being performed (such as picking up passengers at a specific airport). We recommend you confirm these license requirements before proceeding with your services. We also recommend that you ask the limousine company to provide you with a copy of their license.
       2. can provide evidence of the appropriate, applicable bonding and current levels of automobile, general liability and indemnity insurance.
       3. is in good standing within the state in which it maintains its principal place of business (applies for business types that require a Secretary of State filing).
       4. Limousine company information is confirmed at the time of registration. This may change, expire or be revoked/suspended over time; while Company attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, and confirms changes when notified, we perform screening solely at the time the member applies for membership in the Company network, and, therefore, we cannot guarantee that profile and screening information is accurate or that a company’s licensing or insurance is in effect at the time of your service.
    2. It is common practice for limousine companies to farm-out limousine services to other limousine companies. In the event that the limousine company you selected chooses to farm out your ride, Limos.com is not responsible and/or liable for any 3rd party claims.

    3. Limousine Companies Profiles: Company allows limousine companies to post profiles about themselves and their business on the Sites. Company does not review or verify the information or representations set forth in those profiles as they are self-reported by the limousine company.
    4. Notwithstanding Section 7 a, i-iii above, Company does not make any representations or warranties that members are appropriately licensed, free of significant state-level civil legal judgments, or carry appropriate automobile, general liability, and indemnity insurance or bonding at the time of registration, during the period they are members, or thereafter. As circumstances can change daily, Company advises consumers to check these matters for themselves especially at future dates. Company does not represent or warrant that the information received from state, provincial or other government agencies or from third party sources is accurate, error free, or that it is up to date or updated at the time that Company checks such information. Most agencies have periodic update cycles or schedules and this information is not updated on a real-time basis by such agencies and third party sources.
