for sale.
1.2 All
details you publish on the Site must be complete and accurate, in all respects.
1.3 If the
vehicle is not roadworthy, for any reason, or does not possess a valid MOT, at
the time you publish your Ad with us, or that MOT expires whilst the Ad is on

2.2 We have
the absolute right to reject any Ad, without applying a reason for such
rejection.

contact you, by email, to confirm that we have accepted your Ad. Until we have
accepted your Ad, you may withdraw it and we will refund any money you have
paid, using the same method by which you paid us.
2.4 The Ad
will appear on the Site until:
2.4.1 you
tell us it is sold; or
2.4.2 the
period for which the Fee has been paid expires; or

warrant that all images supplied by you to us are your property and that you
have the unrestricted right to allow us to publish them and any text you use on
the Site.

text you supply to us in connection with the Ad, both in the Ad itself and for

at the time of such publication, and which might affect it.

complete or correct.

take all reasonable steps to verify that the vehicle is in the order and
condition described in the Ad and that the price is a fair price for that

3.5 We
always recommend that you do not buy a vehicle based on the description in the
Ad alone, and that you test drive every vehicle you are considering for a
reasonable period, to ensure that it matches your requirements and the seller’s
description.

administrative costs we are put to in seeking payment; and
4.2.3 suspend or terminate the Ad, with no liability of any nature to you, for any losses you may suffer as a result.
