Terms and conditions

• Vehicle — any motor vehicle offered for sale or sourced on your behalf.
• Order — your confirmed request to purchase a Vehicle, evidenced by an invoice issued by us.
• BL — the Bill of Lading, the shipping document issued by the carrier.
• Cleared Funds — payment fully received and confirmed as settled in our account, net of all bank, correspondent and transfer fees.

By ordering, you confirm that you are legally able to enter into a binding contract and to lawfully import the Vehicle into your destination country, and that you will comply with all applicable import, licensing, tax and regulatory requirements at destination.

Many Vehicles are pre-owned and sourced from Japanese auctions. Descriptions, auction grades, photographs, mileage and inspection reports are provided in good faith and to the best of our knowledge, but:

• Pre-owned Vehicles are sold on an “as-is, where-is” basis.
• Auction grades and third-party inspection reports are opinions of condition, not guarantees.
• Minor discrepancies in specification, colour or condition do not entitle you to cancel once an Order is confirmed, except as required by mandatory law.

1. You select a Vehicle and confirm your request.
2. We issue an invoice setting out the price, currency, fees and payment details, and send you a payment link.
3. Your Order is accepted, and a binding contract formed, only when we issue the invoice and you pay in accordance with section 5. We may decline or cancel any Order before Cleared Funds are received — for example if the Vehicle becomes unavailable, on pricing errors, or on failed compliance checks — in which case any amount received is refunded.

• Prices are stated in the currency shown on your invoice.
• Unless stated otherwise, prices do not include destination import duties, taxes, port charges or inland transport at destination, which are your responsibility.
• Payment is made by the methods shown on the invoice, processed through our third-party payment provider. Bank transfer is our primary method for vehicle payments.
• Where you pay by international transfer, you are responsible for all sending, correspondent and intermediary bank fees, and the invoiced amount must be received in full as Cleared Funds. Any shortfall must be settled before we proceed.
• Full payment in Cleared Funds is required before shipment and before release of the BL — see the shipping, delivery and BL policy.

Title to the Vehicle passes to you only upon our receipt of Cleared Funds in full. Risk and the point at which delivery is completed are governed by the agreed shipping terms ([to be confirmed]) set out on your invoice and in the shipping policy.

Shipping arrangements, timelines, document handling and BL release are set out in our shipping, delivery and BL policy, which forms part of these terms.

Cancellations and refunds are governed by our refund and cancellation policy, which forms part of these terms. In particular, once a Vehicle has been purchased on your behalf at auction or shipment has commenced, cancellation is generally not possible.

You agree that you will not import, on-sell or divert any Vehicle in breach of any applicable export-control or sanctions law. We may refuse or cancel any Order, and withhold shipment, where we reasonably believe a transaction would breach such laws or our payment provider's or bank's requirements.

Except as required by mandatory law, Vehicles are supplied without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that a Vehicle will comply with the registration, emissions or roadworthiness rules of your destination country; confirming and meeting those requirements is your responsibility.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or in connection with any Order shall not exceed the amount you paid for the relevant Vehicle. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of use, storage or demurrage charges, or delays caused by carriers, customs or authorities.

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including shipping-line delays, port congestion, weather, strikes, government action, sanctions or acts of God.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information, including consignee and compliance/KYC details, to respond promptly to requests, and to arrange timely collection and import clearance at destination. Storage, demurrage or re-delivery charges arising from your delay are your responsibility.

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of [to be confirmed] for any dispute, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have under your local law.

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in effect when you place your Order applies to that Order.
