Terms of use

Effective .

Everything here is general information, not legal, financial or purchase advice. Fees and rules change, so every figure carries the month we checked it. We give no warranty that a page is complete or current, links to other sites are not endorsements, and trademarks belong to their owners.

General information only

The pages on this site describe how vehicle auctions generally work. They are not legal advice, financial advice, tax advice or a recommendation to buy any particular vehicle or use any particular platform. Your circumstances, your state's rules and the terms of the specific sale all override anything written here. Where a decision carries real money or a legal consequence, read the platform's own terms and, if it matters enough, take professional advice.

Figures change

Fee schedules, registration requirements and title rules move, sometimes with no notice and often differently from one branch or state to the next. Every figure we publish carries the month it was checked, and we recheck the reference tables monthly. Even so, treat a number on this site as a starting point for your own check against the source, not as a quotation you can hold anyone to.

No warranty

The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of accuracy, completeness, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not promise that the site will be available without interruption or that it is free of errors. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of this site or from reliance on anything published here, including any loss connected with a vehicle you bought or did not buy.

We link to auction platforms, regulators, manufacturers and other publishers where it supports a point. A link is not an endorsement, a recommendation or a statement that the linked site is accurate. We have no control over other people's content and we are not responsible for it.

Trademarks and content

Company and platform names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here only to identify the businesses being described. Nothing on this site implies any affiliation with, or endorsement by, those owners. The text, tables and diagrams we produce are our own; quote a sentence or two with a link if it is useful, but please do not republish whole pages.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where the publisher is organized, without regard to conflict of law rules. If any part of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

Changes to these terms

We may revise this page. The effective date at the top tells you when the current version took effect, and continuing to use the site after that date means the revised terms apply. Questions go to [email protected].
