Depending on the service level chosen, Customer’s end-users (i.e., car owners) (“Users”) will be given access to Tractable’s Guided Photo Capture App and/or Tractable’s AI Damage Assessment App (“App”). Tractable will provide Customer with a web link which may be included on Customer’s website to provide access for Users to the relevant App and/or related web pages. Tractable may on request provide Customer with a QR Code which can also be used to allow access to Users to the relevant App. For full functionality, the App will need to be accessed via the Users mobile phone. These links will all be specific to individual rooftops of Customer, to the extent that Customer has multiple rooftops. Use of the Guided Photo Capture App and the AI Assessment App by Users is subject to the agreement with the Tractable Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, provided through the App.

The Guided Photo Capture App system may include branding indicating that it is being provided by Tractable on behalf of Customer. For inclusion of Customer branding, as well as other customizations in the Guided Photo Capture App, the Customer will coordinate with a Tractable representative who will assist and gather the required information. Inclusion of Customer branding is optional.

User First and Last Name
User Email Address
User Mobile Phone Number
Vehicle Identification Number
Vehicle Mileage
User Reported Point of Impact
User Indication of Whether Vehicle is Drivable

Additional information may be gathered by the App in the future and provided to the Customer.

Tractable’s AI Estimator App
Tractable has developed the Tractable AI Damage Assessment App, which is able to provide AI Damage Appraisals on a panel level as well as generate Instant Quotes, depending on the level of service selected. The Customer may use the Tractable AI Damage Assessment App to assist in the provision of auto physical damage repairs for damaged vehicles by performing a damage appraisal. Photos and relevant information will be provided to the Tractable Guided Photo Capture App which is integrated within the Tractable AI Damage Assessment App. The photos and information by the Tractable Guided Photo Capture App are set forth above.
Based on the photos and information gathered, the Tractable AI Damage Assessment App can generate a complete damage assessment of the vehicle on a panel level and identify suggested repair operations for the vehicle. The Tractable AI Damage Assessment App is also capable of generating a preliminary assessment of the costs of such repair operations on a panel level, as well as an overall estimated cost of repairs. Table 1 below identifies the panels covered by the Tractable AI Damage Assessment App and Table 2 identifies types of damage which are out of scope.
The Tractable AI Damage Assessment App system may include branding indicating that it is being provided by Tractable on behalf of Customer. Additionally, the Tractable AI Damage Assessment App may include additional customization. For inclusion of Customer branding and customization as part of the Gold or Platinum level services, a Tractable representative will assist and gather the required information. Inclusion of Customer branding is optional.
For the Platinum Service, Customer will need to provide Tractable with any applicable sales tax for each rooftop, and identification of what labor rates to use for each rooftop. This data will be used in generating the Instant Quote.
All of the information provided to the Bodyshop through the Tractable Guided Photo Capture App is also provided through the Tractable AI Damage Assessment App and the associated Tractable Repairer Portal. Additionally, depending on the level of service selected by the Customer, the following information is provided to the Bodyshop and to the User (usually, the owner of the vehicle). The App can potentially be customized to not provide certain information to the User if the Customer requests.
Below is a table setting forth what the Gold and Platinum level services include. The Platinum level service comprises provision of an Instant Quote (which includes the components set forth in Table 3 below). An Instant Quote is an assessment of the damage to a vehicle and the estimated costs to repair such damage.

The information, including any AI assessment, made available through the Services is not intended to constitute a final decision regarding the management of any insurance claim or other insurance-related, financial, legal or other advice. Supplier disclaims, and Customer expressly relieves Supplier from any claims, damages, costs, or liabilities that may arise from, or relate to any acts or omissions made by Customer, Users, or any policyholder based in whole or in part based on any information provided under this Agreement.
Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that assessments are made available in a manner consistent with all applicable regulations and laws. A physical inspection is required to verify the full extent of damages. The assessments and estimated costs provided are not intended to serve or be relied upon as the written estimate required prior to commencement of repair work where required by applicable statutes or regulations.
For the monthly fee, Customer will receive up to 250 assessments per rooftop each month. Excess assessments each month will be charged at a rate of $2 per assessment. Assessments for Customers with more than one rooftop will be pooled together (i.e., higher usage at one location may be set off vs. lower usage at another location). An assessment is considered any transaction in which the guided photo capture process is completed and that is not out of scope.
The information provided to the Customer or the User all collectively constitute the “Output”.
