Agreement made on _____________________, between Complete Impound & Recovery, LLC, an Ohio Limited Liability Company, with its principal office located at 1370 Emig Road, Columbus, Ohio 43223, referred to herein as Towing Company, and the customer listed above, referred to herein as Owner.
1. The undersigned does hereby authorize Towing Company to act as its exclusive towing company, and to remove any non-compliant, illegally parked, or unauthorized vehicles from its property in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 4513.601. This signed instrument waives the need for a signature on any towing ticket for patrolled towing. Towing Company is not obligated to release or return vehicles to Owner’s property without payment unless it was towed against the stipulations within this Agreement. In the event that a vehicle was towed by mistake, Owner agrees to notify Towing Company within 24 hours of the towed time so the vehicle can be released for no charge, after which time storage, state and city fees start to accrue.
2. Towing Company releases Owner, from any liability of damages resulting from the towing of a vehicle to an authorized storage facility. However, such release does not include, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to waive, the responsibilities or requirements set forth in the Ohio Revised Code Titles 4513.601, et seq., relative to the duties of Owner for private tow-away zones. Owner agrees to post signage at the above listed property as required by law.
3. The terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect until either the Towing Company or Owner provides notice via email or fax to the numbers set forth above indicating that the Agreement has been terminated. The termination shall not be effective for 24 hours or until all signage and materials provided by the Towing Company have been returned to the Towing Company, whichever occurs first.
4. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the parties agree that the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
5. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
6. Any dispute under this Agreement shall be required to be resolved by binding arbitration of the parties hereto. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, each party shall select one arbitrator and both arbitrators shall then select a third. The third arbitrator so selected shall arbitrate said dispute. The arbitration shall be governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in force and effect. Any proceedings filed with respect to the American Arbitration Association or in any court, upon appeal of the arbitration decision, shall be filed in Franklin County, Ohio or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio at Columbus.
7. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties and any prior understanding or representation of any kind preceding the date of this Agreement shall not be binding upon either party except to the extent incorporated in this Agreement.
