12. You acknowledge that International Driving Authority does not pre-screen content, but that International Driving Authority and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or move any content that is available via the Website. Without limiting the foregoing, International Driving Authority and its designees shall have the right to remove any content that violates the Terms and Conditions or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with the use of any content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any content created by International Driving Authority or submitted to International Driving Authority, and in all other parts of the Website. You acknowledge and agree that International Driving Authority may preserve content and may also disclose content if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the Terms and Conditions; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Terms and Conditions, its users and the public. You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Website, including your content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Although International Driving Authority may from time to time monitor or review discussions, chats, postings, transmissions, bulletin boards, and the like on the Website, International Driving Authority is under no obligation to do so and assumes no responsibility or liability arising from the content of any such locations nor for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information within such locations on the Website. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane material or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. International Driving Authority will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing International Driving Authority to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

13. An international translation of a driver's license is a translation of the national driving permit and cannot be used as a primary document. At all times, the international driver’s license must be presented with a valid original national driving permit. International Driving Authority is not responsible for any violations, revocations or suspensions of the applicant’s driver’s license and his/her right of using the international translation of his/her driver's license. You are obligated to verify requirements for a driver’s license and your rights to use the international translation of your driver's license in countries you plan to visit. The regulations and laws are different from continent to continent and from country to country. If you are going to travel and drive overseas, you must first of all check with the embassy/consulate of the countries you plan to visit and learn about the requirements for a driver’s license, road rules and permits, and auto insurance. International Driving Authority is not responsible for providing home country offices that issue international driving permits according to the Convention on Road Traffic; the applicant is responsible for checking government travel websites and, if it possible, to order an international driving permit in his/her home country at the official organization. The fact that a home country does not issue international driving permits does not mean that your driver’s license translations have any official status. The fact that a person possesses a valid national driver’s license has no effect on the status of your international translation of your driver's license.

14. International Driving Authority reserves the right to, at any time and from time to time, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Website (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that International Driving Authority shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Website.

15. International Driving Authority may at any time revise these Terms and Conditions by updating this posting. By using this Website you are agreeing to be bound by the current version of these Terms and Conditions.

16. Delivery and Return Policy and Privacy Policy are integral parts of this legal disclaimer and list of terms and conditions. Ticking the application checkbox “I agree with Terms and Conditions of this Website and INTERNATIONAL DRIVING AUTHORITY LLP” means that you also agree with forementioned policies.
