Last updated: November 8, 2026. These policies apply to the DFW Auto Marketing Awards website and program.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the DFW Auto Marketing Awards website and program (the “Site” and the “Awards”), operated by DFW Auto Marketing (“we,” “us,” or “our”), based in Euless, Texas. By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
You may use the Site for lawful, personal and business purposes. You agree not to submit false, misleading or automated nominations; scrape or copy rankings in bulk; interfere with the Site’s security; or impersonate any person or business.
Trust Scores and rankings are opinions generated by our methodology from publicly available Google review information and community nominations. They are provided “as is” for informational purposes, may change over time, and are not a guarantee of the quality of any business or repair. Always use your own judgment when choosing a service provider.
When you submit a nomination, claim request, sponsorship inquiry or message, you confirm the information is accurate and that you have the right to share it. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use non-personal content of your nomination (for example, a description of the service you received) to administer and promote the Awards. We will not publish your name with a nomination without your permission.
Business names displayed on the Site are used to identify local businesses. Their display does not imply a nomination, award, partnership or endorsement unless expressly stated. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. Business owners may request corrections or removal at any time by contacting us.
Winners and finalists receive a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to display the official DFW Auto Marketing Awards badge for the award year won, unmodified, and only while the statement is accurate. We may revoke this license for misuse.
The Site may link to third-party websites and use third-party services (such as form, scheduling and analytics providers). We are not responsible for third-party content or practices.
THE SITE AND AWARDS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DFW AUTO MARKETING WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THE RANKINGS OR ANY BUSINESS LISTED ON IT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Venue for any dispute lies in the state or federal courts located in Tarrant County, Texas.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when they last changed. Continued use of the Site means you accept the updated Terms.
This Privacy Policy explains how DFW Auto Marketing collects, uses and protects personal information through the Awards Site.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us operate the Site and the Awards (such as our CRM, form and messaging providers) under confidentiality obligations; when required by law; or in connection with a business transfer. Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.
You may unsubscribe from emails using the link in any email, reply STOP to any text message, or contact us to access, correct or delete your information.

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards. We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law.
