These Rules of Participation (“Rules”) apply to the Driver’s Seat Community and website (the "Community"), an online community that allows you and other authorized users who have been invited by Cars.com, LLC (“Cars.com”) to communicate with Cars.com and other users about Cars.com’s products and services and your participation in surveys as part of a panel.

YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE IS GOVERNED BY THESE RULES
BY ACCESSING OR OTHERWISE USING THE COMMUNITY YOU AGREE TO THESE RULES. Further, you agree that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and agree that you are subject to the Cars.com Terms of Service and the Cars.com Privacy Statement (collectively the “Additional Terms”). If at any time you do not accept all of these Rules, you must immediately stop using the Community. The Additional Terms are incorporated into these Rules, and any reference to these Rules includes the Additional Terms (collectively the “Agreement”).

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
In order to receive invitations to participate in Community surveys you must first register as a member (“Member”) of the Community by providing us with accurate, complete and updated registration information as required by the profiling survey.

To ensure the integrity of the Community, you may not (i) activate or use more than one Member profile account; (ii) use a name subject to rights of another person without authorization from that person; (iii) use a false or misleading name, address, or email address to activate or use an account; or (iv) provide any false or misleading information. If we have reason to believe that you have violated any of these provisions, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to use of and/or participation in the Community.

Membership in the Community is open only to persons residing in the 50 states of the United States or the District of Columbia and who are 18 years of age or older. Employees of Cars.com, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and members of their immediate family are not eligible to participate.

YOUR ACCOUNT
You may be required to register in order to access certain services or areas of the Community. With respect to any such registration, Cars.com may refuse to grant to you the user name you request. Your user name and password are for your personal use only.

In addition to all other rights available to Cars.com including those set forth in these Rules, Cars.com reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your account.

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
As a Member, you must be willing to participate in at least one survey per quarter (3 months). Your participation is completely voluntary, and there is no obligation for you to participate in every survey we conduct.
