Terms and Conditions

When paying the invoice, the buyer agrees to the following terms and conditions:

- All vehicles are sold as-is with no warranty or guarantees unless stated otherwise.

- The buyer assumes full responsibility for the vehicle from the time of purchase to final delivery at the destination port.
- Any damage or mechanical issue that prevents loading onto the vessel must be repaired at the buyer’s expense, unless otherwise agreed prior to purchase.

 

No claims will be accepted for:
