TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: January 2025

1. AGREEMENT TO TERMS

By signing the Vehicle Sourcing Agreement ("Agreement") electronically and making any payment to Auction2Drive ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("Buyer," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Your electronic signature, combined with your payment, constitutes a legally binding contract equivalent to a physically signed document under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).

2. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Auction2Drive is NOT a licensed motor vehicle dealer. We are an independent vehicle sourcing and procurement service that acts as your authorized representative at dealer-only auctions. We have established relationships with licensed automobile dealers who provide us access to dealer auctions and facilitate the purchase and transfer of vehicles on behalf of our clients.

All vehicle purchases are completed through our affiliated licensed dealers in compliance with state and federal motor vehicle laws. The final title and registration will be processed through a licensed dealer in accordance with applicable regulations.

3. DIGITAL SIGNATURE VALIDITY

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Your electronic signature is legally binding and enforceable
  • Once you submit payment (deposit or otherwise), your electronic signature becomes irrevocable
  • Your digital signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into this binding agreement
  • You waive any right to contest the validity of your electronic signature

4. DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT TERMS

4.1 Deposit: The deposit paid is non-refundable except under the specific circumstances outlined in Section 3 of the Vehicle Sourcing Agreement.

4.2 Payment Transfer: Once any payment has been transferred to Auction2Drive, the agreement becomes fully binding and enforceable. You may not cancel or revoke the agreement after payment without forfeiting your deposit as specified in the Agreement.

5.2 Buyer Approval Required: We will not bid on any vehicle without your prior written approval (email or text confirmation accepted).

5.3 Vehicle Condition: While we provide condition reports and available vehicle history, all vehicles are sold "AS-IS" unless otherwise specified in writing. You are responsible for reviewing all provided information before approving a bid.

5.4 Inspection: We recommend that you inspect the vehicle or arrange for a third-party inspection before final purchase. We are not responsible for undisclosed mechanical issues or defects not apparent in the auction condition report.

  • Applicable state and local taxes
  • Transportation/delivery costs (if applicable)

7. CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

7.1 Before Winning Bid: If we are unable to secure a vehicle within your budget, or if a vehicle sells above your maximum approved price, your deposit is fully refundable.

7.2 After Winning Bid: If we win a vehicle at or below your approved maximum price and you cancel or fail to complete the purchase, your deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE. You will also be responsible for any auction penalties or fees incurred.

7.3 After Payment Transfer: Once any payment beyond the deposit has been made, the sale is final and non-refundable.
