Trader Terms & Conditions
Provisional offers subject to vehicle inspection
Version: T-2026-11-10-2 · Published:
This version applies when you agree to it. Updating this page alone does not change existing contracts, offers or completed sales.
1. Who we are and what these terms cover
1.1 SellAnyCarFast provides the platform services described in these terms (we, us, our). For questions, complaints or account support, please use Contact us.
1.2 These terms govern your business use of the SellAnyCarFast website, trader app and related account services (Platform). They concern our platform service. Any contract to buy a vehicle is a separate contract between the trader and the seller.
1.3 You means the business identified in the trader account. Anyone acting for that business must have authority to use the account and make the relevant commitments. These trader services are for business use; do not register as a business if you are acting as a private consumer.
1.4 Read these terms and the fee information before agreeing to the service or confirming an offer. You may save or print this dated version. Our Trader Privacy Policy explains how we use personal data; agreeing to these terms is not consent to unrelated marketing.
2. Accounts and security
2.1 Provide accurate business and contact information and keep it up to date. Keep login credentials secure and restrict access to authorised people. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access or activity.
2.2 You are responsible for instructions properly given by you or your authorised users. This does not make you automatically responsible for losses caused by our breach or for unauthorised transactions for which the law makes someone else responsible.
2.3 We may investigate false account information, fraud or security concerns and apply the proportionate restrictions described in section 12. Account registration does not mean we guarantee the identity, honesty or performance of another user.
3. Our role and vehicle information
3.1 The Platform enables sellers to describe vehicles and traders to submit provisional offers. We do not buy or sell the listed vehicle, act as either user's agent to conclude a vehicle sale, or independently inspect or guarantee vehicle condition.
3.2 Vehicle descriptions, photographs and statements are provided by the seller. Estimates, history information and automated checks do not replace inspection, establish ownership or guarantee the price or condition of a vehicle. Our own statements and legal responsibilities are not disclaimed by this provision.
3.3 Review the information and ask about matters important to your offer. Conduct appropriate condition, identity, ownership, finance and documentation checks before agreeing a final purchase. Do not assume that an MOT record is a complete condition report.
4. Making a provisional offer
4.1 An offer submitted using Make an Offer is a provisional indication of the price you are prepared to consider, based on the seller's information and subject to inspecting the vehicle and agreeing a final purchase under section 6. It is not a binding commitment to buy merely because you submit it or the seller selects it.
4.2 Sellers may compare offers from more than one trader and decide which, if any, they wish to pursue. The highest offer is not automatically selected. Offer Selected means the seller wishes to progress discussions and arrange inspection with that trader. It is not a completed sale or an unconditional acceptance of a vehicle purchase contract.
4.3 Submitting an offer separately authorises the applicable platform offer fee under section 7. The provisional nature of the vehicle offer does not make the platform submission service free.
4.4 Make genuine, considered offers. Do not quote a price you have no genuine present intention of considering merely to obtain a visit or contact details, conceal known deductions or compulsory charges, or plan a lower price regardless of what inspection reveals. Present material conditions, including an agreed drop-off-only proposal, clearly before the seller chooses whether to proceed.
4.5 Offer selection alone does not settle any reservation, exclusivity or appointment arrangements. Discuss any such arrangements expressly with the other party. Tell the other party promptly if you no longer wish to proceed. Any separate agreement and applicable legal rights remain unaffected.
5. Inspection and price discussions
5.1 You may inspect the vehicle before committing to buy. Arrange a suitable time and location with the seller. Permission to inspect does not include permission for a test drive, dismantling or invasive testing unless separately agreed and lawful.
5.2 If inspection identifies a material difference from the seller's description, you may explain that difference and propose a revised price or decline to proceed before a binding purchase contract is formed. Examples may include significant undisclosed damage, a materially inaccurate mileage statement or an undisclosed finance/title issue. This is not an exhaustive list or an automatic price-adjustment formula.
5.3 Explain any proposed revision honestly. The seller may reject it and is not obliged to accept a lower price. Do not pressure a seller to agree simply because they have travelled or incurred costs. Before a final purchase contract exists, either party may decide not to proceed; that does not excuse fraud, misrepresentation or other unlawful conduct.
5.4 Tell the seller promptly if you cannot attend or no longer wish to proceed. If the vehicle matches the description but you nonetheless choose not to buy, do not invent defects to justify your decision. Genuine inspection-based decisions are not, by themselves, misconduct; deceptive offers or other breaches may be investigated under section 12.
6. When the vehicle purchase becomes binding
6.1 Under this model, a vehicle purchase becomes binding after inspection, when the identified seller and trader have agreed the final purchase price and any other terms either has made a condition of agreement, and have clearly communicated their agreement to enter a binding vehicle purchase contract. The vehicle and parties must be identifiable. Record any remaining conditions and the agreed payment and handover arrangements; do not assume that leaving a detail unrecorded necessarily prevents a contract arising. If the parties expressly make their agreement subject to a further condition, its legal effect depends on that condition and their agreement.
6.2 A final agreement may be recorded in a signed purchase document or a clear exchange of messages. An oral agreement or conduct can also have legal effect under applicable law. Do not assume that a contract can arise only when payment clears or keys change hands. We recommend a dated written record so both parties know what has been agreed.
6.3 Platform submission, selection, an inspection appointment, a drop-off invitation or an Inspection Pending status does not itself meet section 6.1. The relevant act must be distinguished from a later express agreement to buy and sell following inspection.
6.4 Once a binding final purchase contract has formed, its terms and the law govern both parties' obligations and remedies. These terms do not create a general right to withdraw from that contract without consequences, authorise misrepresentation, or remove legal rights relating to defects, title, payment or breach.
6.5 These Platform terms do not determine the governing law or all terms of a separate vehicle purchase agreement. Nothing in them overrides the legal effect of a separate agreement the parties actually make.
7. Registration, offer fees and payments to us
7.1 Trader registration is free and there is no monthly subscription fee for the offer service described here. Each submitted offer attracts its applicable value-based platform offer fee, including an offer that is not selected or does not result in a vehicle purchase. Making an offer is not free.
7.2 The fee for the offer is displayed before submission. It is separate from the proposed vehicle price. The amount presented for your agreement must make clear the total payable and the treatment of any applicable tax. Confirming submission authorises the disclosed fee; a higher fee requires your agreement before it is charged. The applicable fee is assessed for each submission and may differ between vehicles or later submissions.
7.3 There is no additional SellAnyCarFast platform success fee because your offer is selected or because the eventual purchase completes. We do not promise that no independent transport, finance or other third-party costs will arise; agree any such costs separately before incurring them.
7.4 If you use a wallet or credits, the offer fee is deducted through the displayed payment method. A wallet top-up is funding, not itself the purchase of a vehicle and not itself submission of an offer. Promotional credits are not a statement that submission is free. Any auto-top-up needs a separate, clearly disclosed authorisation; these terms alone do not authorise additional card debits.
7.5 Fees must be paid through the applicable disclosed payment process. Do not submit payment instructions without authority. Closing or restricting an account does not by itself extinguish a valid fee already due or an existing right to recover money.
8. Offer-fee disputes and refunds
8.1 The offer fee pays for the platform submission service, not a guaranteed purchase. An offer being unsuccessful, a revised price being rejected or a vehicle purchase not completing does not, by itself, establish that the submission fee was charged incorrectly. This does not remove a right to repayment for a charge that was not due, a remedy for our breach or any other legal right.
8.2 Contact us if you believe a charge is incorrect, duplicated or taken for a submission that failed or was not recorded, or if another problem may give you a legal remedy. Include the vehicle, offer, payment reference and relevant evidence. We will review the facts and your entitlement under the applicable agreement and law. A legally required repayment is not replaced with promotional credit without your agreement where that would reduce your rights.
8.3 No additional discretionary refund or goodwill-credit scheme is established by these terms. This is not a blanket exclusion of refunds. Statutory remedies and rights relating to misrepresentation, incorrect charging or breach remain available. These terms impose no additional fixed deadline for making a complaint or bringing a legal claim.
8.4 Offer fees, purchased wallet funds and promotional credits are different. These terms do not introduce expiry, automatic forfeiture or a restriction on rights to recover money. A wallet top-up does not authorise an undisclosed fee, and account closure does not remove an existing repayment right.
9. Collection, seller drop-off and completion
9.1 Agree inspection, location, appointment, collection or dealership drop-off directly with the seller. Seller drop-off is optional and requires both parties' agreement. Do not treat the seller's willingness to consider drop-off as an unconditional obligation to travel.
9.2 An invitation to bring a vehicle to your dealership is an invitation to inspection and discussion, not a guaranteed purchase offer. If your provisional offer depends on an agreed drop-off arrangement, explain that condition clearly; the seller remains free not to agree to it.
9.3 Agree any transport or other separately arranged cost in advance. Neither selection nor an invitation automatically requires either party to reimburse travel or pay an inspection, cancellation, storage or no-show fee.
9.4 Vehicle payment is arranged between seller and trader; we do not collect or hold the vehicle purchase money as part of this model. Verify payment instructions and authority, and agree the paperwork and handover. Any transfer of title, risk or possession is governed by the final purchase contract and applicable law, not merely by a Platform status label.
10. Honest use, communications and personal data
10.1 Do not submit sham offers, impersonate another person, misrepresent your business, manipulate listings or prices, send abusive messages, use the Platform unlawfully, facilitate money laundering or stolen-vehicle transactions, or interfere with its operation or others' use.
10.2 Use seller contact details only for the relevant enquiry and transaction and other purposes lawfully authorised. Do not assume that an introduction permits unrelated marketing. Your own use of personal data must comply with applicable data-protection law.
10.3 You and the seller remain responsible for truthful statements and lawful conduct. Nothing in the inspection process authorises you to mislead a seller about their legal obligations or suggest that Platform selection has already compelled a final sale.
11. Content and intellectual property
11.1 We and our licensors retain the rights in the Platform software, branding and material we own. Do not reproduce protected material or misuse other users' content without the necessary permission or lawful basis.
11.2 You retain rights you hold in content you provide. You authorise us to host, display and transmit it as needed to operate the service and show your offer and related communications to the appropriate participants. This is not a transfer of ownership of your content to us or permission for unrelated exploitation.
12. Restrictions, suspension and account closure
12.1 We may remove unlawful content or restrict, suspend or close an account where reasonably necessary to address a material breach, fraud, misuse, legal requirement or security risk. Urgent risks may require immediate action; otherwise we will explain the reason and give an appropriate opportunity to respond where lawful and practicable. Contact us if you believe a decision is mistaken.
12.2 We will not treat a genuine exercise of the provisional inspection process as equivalent to breach of an agreed final vehicle sale. Any enforcement for misleading or unserious conduct must be based on the conduct, not merely on a failed purchase.
12.3 You may request account closure through support. Closure does not cancel an already formed vehicle purchase contract, a fee lawfully due, an accrued claim or a payment/refund right. Information is retained or deleted in accordance with applicable law and the Privacy Policy, not indefinitely merely because an account closes.
13. Service responsibility and liability
13.1 We will provide our platform services with reasonable care and skill. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or a particular trading outcome. We are not responsible merely because another user independently breaches their obligations, and do not guarantee listings or the completion of a vehicle purchase. These statements do not exclude responsibility for our own breach, negligence or misrepresentation.
13.2 Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted. Mandatory statutory rights and remedies remain intact.
13.3 Subject to section 13.2, responsibility for a proven claim is determined under applicable law. These terms do not impose a monetary liability cap or a blanket exclusion for direct loss, transaction disputes or service outages.
14. Changes, notice and existing transactions
14.1 We may propose changes to reflect changes in law, security needs, our services or clearly disclosed pricing. This does not give us an unrestricted right to rewrite an existing contract retrospectively.
14.2 Before applying a material change to an existing contract, we will provide the revised dated terms and a clear summary directly, explain the proposed start date and give a reasonable opportunity to consider the change. We will seek express agreement to a material change in the offer model rather than relying only on publication of a replacement web page.
14.3 Publication of these terms does not by itself change an existing contract. If you do not agree to a proposed change, contact us before using the affected new service. You may stop using the service and request account closure without giving up accrued claims, money rights or rights under an existing vehicle purchase contract.
14.4 These terms do not retrospectively turn an existing binding vehicle purchase into a provisional offer. Earlier offers, selected offers and completed sales retain their legal effect under the terms and agreements applicable to them. A change affecting an existing arrangement requires the agreement or other legal basis needed for that change.
15. Complaints, governing law and courts
15.1 Use our Contact us page to raise a complaint, identifying the relevant vehicle, offer or charge and explaining the issue. We will consider the information and explain our response. These terms do not require paid or compulsory arbitration, prevent you from seeking independent advice or remove rights to use the courts or other remedies available by law.
15.2 The law of England and Wales governs the platform-services contract, subject to mandatory rules that cannot lawfully be displaced. The courts of England and Wales may hear disputes about that contract, subject to applicable jurisdiction rules. This does not require a dispute to be brought in an English court where the law provides otherwise.
15.3 This section does not choose the governing law or court for a separate seller–trader vehicle purchase contract. Rights and court rules that apply in Scotland or Northern Ireland are not excluded or assumed to be identical to those in England and Wales.
