Legal Notices

Before accessing or using any of the Sites accessed via www.pensketruckleasing.com (the "Sites"), please carefully review the Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms of Use") provided below. These Terms of Use apply to and govern use of all the Sites. By accessing or using any of the Sites, or by registering and maintaining a Single Sign On ("SSO") account to access the Sites, you acknowledge your careful review and acceptance of these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use, you may not register or maintain an account or otherwise use or access any of the Sites or their contents.

Acceptance of Terms of Use

These Terms of Use constitute an express agreement between Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Penske"), the provider of the Sites, and you for access to and use of the Sites. BY ACCESSING THE SITES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH OF THEM AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THEM.

Use of the Sites

The purpose of the Sites is to provide you with information and to provide and enhance services that Penske offers. You agree your access to any of the Sites and their contents, shall be solely used for obtaining information and/or services and that you shall not use your account or otherwise access any of the Sites or their contents to directly compete with or gain competitive advantage over Penske. You shall not disrupt or otherwise interfere with the normal operation of the Sites, including without limitation posting or transmitting files that contain viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or any other contaminating or destructive features, or material that is harmful, offensive, threatening, abusive or hateful. You shall not access or use the Sites in any manner that violates state or federal law.

You shall not use any robot, spider, scripting program, "page-scrape" or other automatic or manual device, program, algorithm or methodology to access, monitor, upload, download, "scrape," or otherwise copy any portion of the Sites or their contents without the express prior written consent of Penske. You shall not reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Sites to obtain or attempt to obtain any content of any portion of the Sites.

You agree that violation of these Terms of Use constitutes an unlawful and unfair business practice causing irreparable harm to Penske for which monetary damages would be inadequate, thus subjecting you to injunctive or equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available at law.

Penske cannot and does not represent or warrant that the files available for downloading through the Sites will be free of infection, viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other code that manifest contaminating or destructive ties. You assume all risk and responsibility for your use of the Sites and the Internet.

You may, however, download and make one copy of the content and other downloadable items displayed on the Sites for your personal, noncompetitive use only, provided that you maintain all copyright and other notices contained in such content.
