Vehicle Information
- On the Motorway Platform, you will be provided with the Seller Vehicle Data in respect of each Vehicle.
- You acknowledge and agree that each Vehicle is sold on an 'as is' basis. Motorway is a marketplace only and, as such, does not carry out any pre-sale inspection of Vehicles listed for sale on the Motorway Platform.
- If, in your reasonable opinion, further information is required about a particular Vehicle, you should request such information from us before you make a Bid, and we shall provide such further information as is made available to us from the Seller.
- You acknowledge and agree that you, alone, are responsible for carrying out your own due diligence on each Vehicle before you place a Bid.
- If you wish to make a Bid for a Vehicle after you have carried out your due diligence, you shall do so via the Motorway Platform.
- Once the Seller has accepted your Bid, we shall contact you and the Seller to inform each party of the sale. Within 1 (one) Working Day of receipt of that confirmation of sale, you must do the following:
- contact the Seller to arrange for collection of the Vehicle (applicable if you choose to collect the Vehicle yourself); or
- contact us to arrange collection of the Vehicle (applicable if you would prefer Motorway Move to collect and drop the Vehicle off to you); and
- in either case, provide a copy of your terms and conditions of purchase in the form of a written Vehicle Purchase Contract to the Seller.

- You shall only be entitled to cancel a Bid or seek an adjustment to the Purchase Price in the following circumstances:
- the Seller refuses to sell the Vehicle;
- there is any undisclosed Outstanding Finance on the Vehicle;
- you can show that the Seller has engaged in fraudulent activity in selling the Vehicle (e.g., selling a clocked or stolen vehicle); and/or
- otherwise in accordance with our Motorway Cancellation and Price Adjustments Policy, a copy of which is available here.
- Whenever you wish to make a cancellation or price adjustment under Clause 3.10:
- you must complete the Dealer Cancellation and Price Adjustment Form as soon as possible;

- All price adjustments based on Clause 3.10 must be fairly calculated to accurately account for the undisclosed damage and/or faults with the Vehicle.
- If the Seller Vehicle Data states that there is Outstanding Finance on a Vehicle, then you undertake to pay, in full, the sum due to the applicable finance company, and the Purchase Price paid to the Seller shall be reduced by the amount of the Outstanding Finance. You should obtain proof of payment of the Outstanding Finance from the applicable finance company which you shall make available to us and/or the Seller on request. You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless against any losses, penalties, fees, costs, interest, and damages arising out of or in connection with your breach of this Clause 3.13, and we may pursue any such amounts arising under this indemnity via a debt claim against you.
- Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in the Vehicle Sales Contract, you shall make payment of the Purchase Price during the collection of the relevant Vehicle from the Seller.
- Where a Vehicle is subject to VAT (e.g., a company Vehicle or a Vehicle used as part of a trade, or where the Seller is VAT registered), you agree that you shall pay VAT to the Seller in addition to the Purchase Price.
- The Purchase Price shall be paid by you to either:
- the nominated bank account of the Seller, as notified to you by us; or
- if using Motorway Pay, your Motorway Pay account, as notified to you by us (see Clause 3.18 for more details).

- If you are authorised by us to use Motorway Pay, then your payment of the Purchase Price will be handled by our third-party payments processor, Modulr. Please refer to the Motorway Pay Terms, available on our Website, for more detail.

If you wish to sell a Vehicle via Motorway Trade, you must first meet certain Eligibility Criteria (which are available on request from Motorway). The existing Motorway Seller Terms will apply to any sales made through Motorway Trade.Vehicle Collection and Transport

Purchase Fees
- Unless you are enrolled for Motorway Pay the Purchase Fee payable by you to us for a Vehicle is based on the winning Bid price, and not the final Purchase Price (i.e., after any price negotiation).
- If you are enrolled for Motorway Pay, the Purchase Fee shall be based on the final Purchase Price and not the winning Bid price. This is because Motorway Pay gives us visibility on the Purchase Price.
- We may invoice you for the Purchase Fee from the earlier of:
- notification from either yourself or the Seller that you have taken possession of the Vehicle from a Seller;
- payment of the Purchase Price, if you are on Motorway Pay (in which case, the Purchase Fee will be taken from your Motorway Pay wallet); or
- 14 (fourteen) days after the date of the winning Bid being accepted by the Seller.
- For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Fee shall not include other fees, including any fees relating to the provision of Transport Services or fees relating to any other additional services.
- All invoices submitted by Motorway shall be paid by you within 7 (seven) days of receipt, unless we agree to other payment terms.
- You agree that where you have either (a) cancelled your winning Bid , or (b) offered a Purchase Price that is lower than the winning Bid, then the Purchase Fee for the Vehicle in question shall remain due and payable based on the winning Bid made by you in accordance with the Purchase Fee Schedule.
- If you fail at any time to pay any sum on the due date for payment, we shall be entitled to charge interest on any outstanding sum at the rate of 5% per annum above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank plc for the period from and including the due date to and including the date of receipt (whether before or after judgement).
- All sums payable are, unless specified otherwise on the Motorway Platform, exclusive of any value added tax or other applicable sales tax, which shall be added to the sum in question.
- You shall keep separate accounts and records in relation to your obligations under this Clause 6 for a rolling period of 6 (six) years. Motorway and/or its authorised nominee shall be entitled to inspect and audit such records on 5 (five) Working Days' notice during business hours for a period of 6 (six) years following the last Vehicle you have purchased from a Seller through the Motorway Platform. In particular, you shall allow Motorway to take copies of or extracts from such records. You shall cooperate fully with any such inspection or audit at all times.
- If any inspection carried out under Clause 6.9 demonstrates that any monies are owing to Motorway, you shall ensure that such monies are paid to us within 7 (seven) days of notification. Where any such inspection or audit is made necessary by your failure to supply a statement, or if the shortfall due to us is greater than 2% of the monies due in respect of the month in question, you shall reimburse us for the reasonable costs of any such inspection or audit.
- You acknowledge and agree that Motorway shall be entitled to amend the calculation of the Purchase Fees at any time on written notice to the Dealer but that any amendment shall not affect any Bid already submitted by you.
