Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

These terms are sample copy written for this demonstration build of Copart. They are not legal advice and do not represent the actual terms of Copart, Inc.

By accessing or using this website, registering a membership, placing a bid or consigning a vehicle, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the site. Where you act on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind that company.

2. Eligibility and registration

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into contracts to register for a membership. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current.

• Guest accounts may view auctions and maintain a watchlist but may not bid.
• Basic and Premier memberships unlock bidding subject to tier limits and any required deposit.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your credentials.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms or applicable law.

3. Auctions and bidding

All auctions are conducted online. A bid is an irrevocable offer to purchase the lot at the amount bid, subject to the seller’s reserve. When the auction closes, the highest valid bid wins, and a binding contract forms between the buyer and seller.

Vehicle listings are prepared from information supplied by sellers and yard inspections. Images, condition codes and reports are provided as a convenience and do not create a warranty. Vehicles are sold “as-is, where-is” unless a listing states otherwise.

4. Payment, fees and refunds

Winning bidders must pay the hammer price plus buyer fees, applicable taxes and any transport charges within the payment window shown on the invoice. Failure to pay may result in cancellation, relisting and account restrictions.

• Membership fees are charged annually and are refundable within seven days of purchase.
• Bidder deposits are refundable once no balance or pending obligation remains.
• Fee schedules are displayed before you bid and on your invoice.
• Late payment may incur a fee and lose your right to the vehicle.

5. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to interfere with the operation of the site, manipulate auctions, scrape data at scale, misrepresent your identity or use the service for unlawful purposes.

• No shill bidding, bid manipulation or collusion.
• No unauthorised automated access, crawling or resale of data.
• No uploading of malicious code or content that infringes third-party rights.

6. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The website and auction services are provided on an “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties and are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising from your use of the service.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

7. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.

These sample terms are presented for a demo and are not intended to create a real legal relationship with Copart, Inc.
