Furthermore, the AutoIMS technology platform was embroiled in an antitrust litigation that ACVA declared has been settled (ACV Auctions Inc. v. National Auto Auction Association, Inc. (NAAA), et al.). AutoIMS facilitates connections within the wholesale automotive remarketing sector, linking auto auctions, consignors, third-party service providers, and remarketing networks. ACVA initiated legal action in 2022 after encountering obstacles in obtaining an AutoIMS license.
ACV Auctions has since obtained an AutoIMS license and settled the legal dispute, enabling it to extend its services to the 1,300 commercial consignors currently utilizing AutoIMS to interface with numerous physical auctions. Additionally, ACV will integrate AutoIMS to align with its digital-oriented business model.
The settlement not only resolves the litigation between ACV and NAAA but also paves the way for ACV’s affiliates to engage in NAAA’s membership programs in accordance with NAAA’s regulations. In acknowledgment of this new partnership, ACV will contribute to NAAA’s Warren Young, Sr. Scholastic Foundation, Inc. Scholarship Program, which awards academic scholarships to eligible full-time employees of NAAA member auctions or corporate offices, as well as their children or grandchildren.
It is agreed among all parties that the settlement entails the dismissal of the litigation with prejudice, without admission of liability by any party. The specific terms of the settlement remain confidential.
