VehicleSocial offers additional services whereby you may request (i) conditional offers to purchase your used motor vehicle (excluding certain types of vehicles) (each offer, a “Dealer Offer”) using the “Sell to Dealer” service, and/or (ii) an estimated trade-in value for your used motor vehicle (excluding certain types of vehicles) (each estimate, an “Estimated Trade-In Value”) using the Trade-In service. If you use or participate in these services, the following additional terms apply:
In order to request a Dealer Offer or Estimated Trade-In Value, you must have possession of the actual vehicle, with the ability to transfer valid title as set forth herein. You are required to provide certain identifying and contact information, which must accurately identify yourself so dealers can communicate directly with you. By using these services, you represent, warrant, and covenant that you are not: (i) a motor vehicle dealer or (ii) listing a vehicle for sale in your capacity as an owner, employee, or representative of a motor vehicle dealer. For clarity, if you are a motor vehicle dealer, you may not use these services to obtain a Dealer Offer or Estimated Trade-In Value on behalf of a customer.
Dealer Offers and Estimated Trade-In Values are not available in all areas, and not all vehicles are eligible. These services may not be used to sell or to trade-in certain categories of vehicles, including commercial vehicles; vehicles with a government, police, fire or livery history; motorcycles; recreational vehicles; reconstructed or salvage vehicles; vehicles without a valid VIN; “grey market” vehicles; vehicles older than seventeen (17) model years; vehicles with altered drivelines or bodies or illegal or non-functioning emissions equipment; flood, hail or fire damaged vehicles; vehicles with substantial mechanical or electrical damage; vehicles registered at an auto auction or offered for sale on a wholesale website within forty-five (45) days prior to submitting your request; vehicles that are valued at less than $1,000; and any other category of vehicle that we, in our sole discretion, believe may adversely impact the operation of these services (each, a “Restricted Vehicle”).
By requesting a Dealer Offer or Estimated Trade-In Value, you agree that VehicleSocial, its service providers, Participating Dealers, and/or affinity partners may use the personal contact information you provided, including your telephone number and email address, to communicate with you about the products and services that may be of interest to you. By requesting a Dealer Offer or Estimated Trade-In Value, you agree to use the email address or any other contact information of the Participating Dealer(s) only for purposes of communicating with them about the potential sale of that vehicle.
Through VehicleSocial’s “Sell to Dealer” service, upon providing the requisite information, you can request conditional offers from dealers to purchase your used motor vehicle, known as Dealer Offers. All Dealer Offers are subject to inspection and verification of the vehicle by, or on behalf of, the purchasing dealer, as well as the terms of, and your full compliance with, these Terms of Service and any other applicable terms. A participating dealer that may make a Dealer Offer is referred to in these additional terms as a “Participating Dealer.”
The “Sell to Dealer” service enables Participating Dealers to obtain information about vehicles for which Dealer Offers have been requested and, if applicable, to contact a seller to make a Dealer Offer. We are not a party to, and do not otherwise guarantee the terms of, any Dealer Offer or any transaction resulting therefrom. You alone are responsible for any transaction you engage in resulting from a Dealer Offer from a Participating Dealer. Although Participating Dealers have agreed to abide by certain customer service standards, we are not responsible for any potential fraud or other misconduct by a Participating Dealer in connection with the “Sell to Dealer” service. As a seller, you should exercise caution and good judgment when completing any transaction, including those involving this service.
You acknowledge that if you provide any false, incomplete, or inaccurate information, including vehicle information or personal contact information, your Dealer Offer may be invalidated by the Participating Dealer. Before submitting a request to receive a Dealer Offer from Participating Dealers, you may be able to view an estimated value associated with your vehicle. For the avoidance of doubt, any estimated value shown during this process is for informational purposes only and does not constitute, and should not be construed as, a Dealer Offer or otherwise as an offer or conditional offer by VehicleSocial, a dealer, or any third party to purchase your used motor vehicle.
Although a Participating Dealer is not obligated to purchase your vehicle for any price other than the amount of your Dealer Offer (subject to your satisfaction of the requirements herein), you can try to negotiate a more favourable price for your vehicle and, of course, you are always free to sell or trade in your vehicle outside of the VehicleSocial platform. The sale price that you could receive for your vehicle in the open market or from another source may be higher than the amount of the Dealer Offer you receive.
Following your delivery of the applicable vehicle to the designated location, your Participating Dealer or its third-party designee will conduct a mandatory vehicle inspection to confirm the vehicle description and condition information that you provided. In the event that the inspection reveals misrepresentations and/or inconsistencies in the vehicle condition identified by you, the Participating Dealer may (1) refuse to purchase the vehicle or (2) provide a revised Dealer Offer to you based on the actual condition of the vehicle as determined through the inspection (such revised Dealer Offer shall invalidate and replace any prior Dealer Offers). You acknowledge and agree that we have no involvement in, or liability in connection with, the Participating Dealer or its third-party designee’s inspection of your vehicle.
Through VehicleSocial’s Trade-In service, upon providing the requisite information, you can request that Participating Dealers present an Estimated Trade-In Value for your used motor vehicle. Each Estimated Trade-In Value is for informational purposes only and does not constitute, and should not be construed as, a Dealer Offer or otherwise as an offer or conditional offer by VehicleSocial, a dealer, or any third party to purchase your used motor vehicle.
VEHICLESOCIAL DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SELL OR TRADE YOUR VEHICLE, OBTAIN AN ACCEPTABLE PRICE FOR YOUR VEHICLE, RECEIVE ANY INQUIRIES OR SOLICITATIONS FROM POTENTIAL PARTICIPATING DEALERS, OR RECEIVE ANY ESTIMATED TRADE-IN VALUE RELATING TO, OR DEALER OFFER FOR, YOUR VEHICLE. IN THE EVENT THAT ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES ARISE OUT OF AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL TRANSACTION FOR YOUR VEHICLE, YOU AGREE TO LOOK SOLELY TO THE PARTICIPATING DEALER FOR YOUR REMEDY AND NOT TO VEHICLESOCIAL, ITS PARTNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES.
