BidACar is a technology platform that facilitates connections between automotive dealers. BidACar is not a party to any transaction between dealers and does not buy, sell, or take possession of any vehicles or titles. The Platform provides tools and services to facilitate dealer-to-dealer transactions, but all transactions occur directly between Dealers.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer, or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms. BidACar is neither an agent of either Buyer or Seller, nor a broker, dealer, or auctioneer. BidACar has no control over and does not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of vehicles advertised, the truth or accuracy of Listings, the ability of Sellers to sell vehicles, or the ability of Buyers to pay for vehicles.
The sales contract is exclusively between the Buyer and Seller. BidACar is not a party to this contract. All terms of sale, including but not limited to price, delivery, warranties, and condition, are negotiated directly between Buyer and Seller.
BidACar makes no representations or guarantees regarding any vehicle sold or offered for sale through the Platform. All representations regarding vehicle condition, history, and quality are made solely by the Seller. BidACar does not inspect, verify, warrant, or guarantee vehicles, vehicle condition, or Listings.
To use the Platform, you must:
BidACar may require verification of your dealership status, including but not limited to:
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to:
A Dealer may authorize multiple Users to access its account. The Dealer is responsible for all actions taken by its authorized Users and must ensure that all Users comply with these Terms.
BidACar reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting BidACar, subject to the completion of any pending Transactions.
Sellers must provide accurate and complete information about vehicles listed on the Platform, including but not limited to:
The following may not be listed on the Platform:
Note: If a vehicle is sold with existing disclosed issues, the buyer will have no arbitration timelines set and waives the right to initiate arbitration for those disclosed conditions.
By listing a vehicle on the Platform, Seller represents and warrants that:
BidACar reserves the right to remove any Listing at any time for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms, inaccurate information, or suspected fraudulent activity.
BidACar may integrate with Dealer inventory management systems to facilitate Listings. The dealer is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of information transferred through such integrations.
Buyers are responsible for:
All bids, offers, and acceptances made through the Platform are legally binding. By placing a bid or making an offer, Buyer agrees to complete the Transaction if the bid or offer is accepted.
By bidding on or purchasing a vehicle through the Platform, Buyer represents and warrants that:
Buyers have the option to:
The Platform facilitates the following aspects of Transactions:
Unless otherwise agreed between Buyer and Seller:
Seller is responsible for providing a clear title to Buyer within 30 calendar days of Transaction completion, unless otherwise agreed between the parties.
Unless otherwise agreed between Buyer and Seller:
The buyer is solely responsible for arranging the transportation of purchased vehicles. This includes the option for the buyer to send a driver to the seller's location to physically drive the vehicle to the buyer's dealership.
To provide a window of protection for short-distance deliveries, BidACar's Arbitration Policy will apply under the following specific conditions:
If these conditions are met, the vehicle will be protected under the terms of the BidACar Arbitration Policy for issues that would be eligible for arbitration.
If the distance exceeds 100 miles, or if the delivery is not completed on the same day, the arbitration protection for any damage or mechanical issues that could have occurred during transit is voided. This includes, but is not limited to, driveline issues, tire damage, and any new cosmetic damage to the vehicle's exterior.
BidACar strongly encourages all dealers to use professional, licensed, and insured transportation companies for vehicle delivery, especially for distances over 100 miles. Using a professional transportation company provides the following advantages:
BidACar is a technology platform that facilitates transactions between dealers and is not a party to the transaction itself. BidACar is not liable for any damage, loss, or other issues that may occur during the transportation of a vehicle, regardless of the method of transport. All transportation arrangements and associated risks are the sole responsibility of the buyer and seller.
BidACar charges fees for the use of the Platform according to the current fee schedule, which may be updated from time to time. Fees may include:
All fees are non-refundable. Updated fees will apply to transactions initiated after the effective date of the revised schedule.
Dealers are responsible for all applicable taxes related to Transactions, including but not limited to sales tax, use tax, and income tax. BidACar does not provide tax advice and recommends that Dealers consult with tax professionals.
Buyers and Sellers must first attempt to resolve any disputes directly between themselves.
If direct resolution is unsuccessful, disputes regarding vehicle condition, representations, or other Transaction-related issues may be subject to arbitration according to the BidACar Arbitration Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
