Terms of use
These terms explain how Carvex works for everyone using the marketplace.
Using the marketplace
Carvex is an advertising platform. We introduce buyers and sellers; we do not own, inspect or sell the vehicles advertised, and we are not party to the sale contract between you and the other person.
Your account
- You must be 18 or over and give accurate details.
- Keep your password private — you are responsible for activity on your account.
- We may suspend accounts that break these terms or the seller terms.
Reservations and payments
A reservation deposit takes a car off the market for a short period by agreement with the seller. Deposits are taken by our payment provider, and refunds or cancellations are agreed between buyer and seller. We charge a platform fee of 1.5% on deposits and online payments. We do not hold money in escrow and we do not provide regulated financial protection.
Content and conduct
- Only advertise vehicles you are entitled to sell.
- No misleading descriptions, altered mileage claims or duplicated adverts.
- No harassment, spam or attempts to move buyers off the platform to avoid protections.
Liability
We provide the marketplace as-is. We are not liable for the condition, legal status or history of any vehicle, nor for losses arising from a private sale. Nothing here limits rights you have under UK consumer law.

This is a prototype marketplace. The wording on this page is a plain-English placeholder and is not legal advice; it should be reviewed by a solicitor before any real launch.
