Disclaimer

1. About our brand name

1. The word "Association" in our brand name is descriptive: it refers to the connection between drivers and a translation product made available to them for use abroad. It does not refer to membership in, or operation of, an automobile club, motoring association, motoring federation, trade body, or any other organization of that type.
2. Automobile Driving Association is a private Florida-registered limited liability company producing a linguistic translation of your domestic driver's license. We are not a government body, not an automobile club, not a motoring association, and not affiliated with any such organization.
3. We do not operate a roadside-assistance program, an insurance program, a membership program, an advocacy program, or any other service typically associated with an automobile club. Our sole service is the production of a certified translation of your driver's license.

2. We are not AAA, CAA, ATA, FIA, or any other motoring or translators association

1. Automobile Driving Association is not the American Automobile Association (AAA), not the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), not the American Translators Association (ATA), not the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and not affiliated with any of them or with any other automobile, motoring, drivers', translators', or trade association anywhere in the world.
2. We are not authorized, endorsed, sponsored, or licensed by any of those organizations.
3. Any similarity in name between Automobile Driving Association and AAA, CAA, ATA, FIA, or any other organization is coincidental.

3. The ADA-DLT is not an International Driving Permit (IDP)

1. The ADA-DLT is not an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by a government or motoring association.
2. In the United States, the only organizations designated to issue IDPs under the 1949 Geneva Convention are the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA). We are neither of them, and we have no affiliation with either.
3. Equivalent government-designated issuers exist in other countries (for example, CAA in Canada). We are not affiliated with any of them.

4. The ADA-DLT is not issued by any government

1. The ADA-DLT is not a government-issued document.
2. The ADA-DLT is not authorized, endorsed, or co-issued by the United Nations, UNECE, any national road-safety authority, or any motoring association.

5. The ADA-DLT does not replace your domestic driver's license

1. You must always carry and present your valid domestic driver's license together with the ADA-DLT.
2. The ADA-DLT is valid only when shown alongside your original driver's license; it is not a standalone driving credential.

6. Acceptance is at third-party discretion

1. Acceptance of the ADA-DLT by foreign authorities, vehicle rental companies, insurers, or law-enforcement officers is at their sole discretion.
2. We do not guarantee acceptance of the ADA-DLT in any specific country, region, or transaction.
3. We are not liable for any fine, penalty, denial of service, denial of rental, or any other consequence imposed by any third party following the presentation of an ADA-DLT. This limitation is subject to § 9 below and to any non-waivable consumer-protection law.

7. Country-acceptance scope

The ADA-DLT is formatted in accordance with the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic and the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (linked above). Where our website references the Conventions' contracting-states list, acceptance remains at the discretion of the accepting authority. For country-specific notes — including the known rental-company rejection issues in Japan, China, and South Korea — please see our Country Acceptance Disclaimer.

8. Pre-checkout acknowledgement

At checkout, you are required to tick an acknowledgement confirming you have read this Disclaimer and understand that the ADA-DLT is a certified translation of your valid driver's license, is not an International Driving Permit, and is not issued by any government or motoring association. This acknowledgement is binding.

9. No warranty; limitation preserved

1. Except for the express guarantees set out in our Refund and Cancellation Policy (the Rejection Guarantee and the Replacement Guarantee) and any non-excludable consumer guarantees, the ADA-DLT and website are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
3. Nothing in this Disclaimer limits any right you may have under applicable mandatory consumer law, including the EU Digital Content Directive 2019/770, the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Australian Consumer Law (including section 64), Brazil's Código de Defesa do Consumidor, or provincial consumer-protection laws in Canada.

10. Third-party content

Our website may link to third-party sites or reference third-party resources. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content. Inclusion of a link or reference does not imply endorsement.

11. Translation and localization

Our website may be translated or auto-translated into other languages. In case of discrepancy between the English version and a translated version, the English version governs.

12. Changes to this Disclaimer

We may update this Disclaimer. The last-updated date reflects the current version. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the updated Disclaimer, subject to material changes that require re-acceptance at checkout.
