In order to commence the purchase process, you ( the seller) must visit www.scrapmycar.net and complete the online valuation process. You will need to provide us with certain information about the intended vehicle to be considered for purchase/disposal. Once this process is complete you will be sent an automated email containing the details provided by you, on which the valuation is based. The valuation given is based upon the assumption that the vehicle is complete with all major components, and is not burnt out. Should your vehicle not meet this criteria you should obtain further guidance by calling our sales centre prior to making a booking. 2.2)

The valuation is provided on a “subject to contract” basis and is not legally binding until a physical inspection of the vehicle by Scrapmycar or one of its authorised agents has been completed. The removal of the vehicle confirms Scrapmycar’s acceptance that the vehicle meets the required criteria on which the valuation was based, and agrees to transfer funds to the value of the price quoted. Should the vehicle not meet the required criteria the prospective seller will either be offered an alternative valuation by Scrapmycar for consideration, or be informed that the vehicle is not suitable for collection under this scheme. 2.3)

Scrapmycar/www.scrapmycar.net reserves the right to withdraw the valuation at any time prior to the collection of the vehicle without legal consequence and with no liability to the prospective seller. 2.4)

While Scrapmycar takes into consideration the preferred collection date specified by the customer, no liability whatsoever will be accepted for costs incurred by the prespective seller if collection is not completed within this timeframe. The collection date will be confirmed by Scrapmycar or its appointed agent. 2.5)

All displayed prices are only valid at the point in which a submission for collection is entered. Submitted valuations are only are valid for the timeframe shown on the emailed documentation. Should a confirmation email not be received it should be assumed that the submission has been unsuccessful and not received. Valuation calculations are based on current market conditions and are subject to periodic change without prior notice. Should a variable change prior to a booking being successfully submitted no retrospective pricing will be applied to new submissions. 2.6)

In all instances it is acknowledged that in entering into a contractual agreement with Scrapmycar , it is for the outright purchase of the vehicle identifed in the booking information. 2.7)

Upon transfer of legal title from the Seller to Scrapmycar, the seller places no restirction upon how the purchaser (Scrapmycar ) must best utilise its purchase, unless agreed by both parties in writting prior to completion. Scrapmycar at its discretion may choose a route for recycling that best fits the purchased goods, this may include but is not limited to Re-use in its current form, component parts re-use, reclamation by approved recycling methods or a combination.

Catalytic Converter : A deduction of £65 will be made from the valuation. b) Any other major components: Deduction dependent on vehicle type. 3.5)

Following all bookings, a mutually agreeable collection time will be confirmed by telephone. Should the vehicle not be available for collection at the agreed time, or the request for collection is cancelled after a collection time has been confirmed Scrapmycar reserves the right to levy an administration charge in respect of works and services carried out up until the point of cancellation. The current administration fee levied for booking cancellations or failed collections meeting this criteria is £45.00 , further guidance on the procedure for cancellation is given below in 6.1 Seller Warranties: 4.1)

By completing the online valuation request the seller warrants that he or she is the legal owner of the vehicle and therefore has the right to transfer the full unencumbered legal title and full ownership of the vehicle to Scrapmycar . 4.2)

The seller warrants that no other person or company has any claim to the vehicle whether legal, equitable, possessory or otherwise. 4.3) The seller warrants that the vehicle is not subject to any outstanding Finance.

All payments will be made by Scrapmycar through the indicated mediums. 5.2)

Payments will be made via a BACS bank transfer, Fast Payment bank transfer or PayPal, unless Scrapmycar has agreed an alternative method of payment in writing. 5.3)

Scrapmycar will pay any funds due by the medium selected by the customer, based on the details supplied during the booking process by the customer. No liability will be accepted for any consequential loss suffered as a result of incorrect information being supplied, unless this is as a direct result of the actions of Scrapmycar. No guarantee can be given that any funds transferred to an alternative destination due to the incorrect details being supplied by the customer can be recalled and redirected. Whilst Scrapmycar will endeavour to rectify any errors, it will only consider claims for lost payment if it is proved that Scrapmycar was directly responsible or negligent in the way in which the payment was processed. Cancellation: 6.1)

Consumers are given the right to cancel orders for services free of charge under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, during a period of 7 days after requesting the service. Any cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to Scrapmycar . This period is called “the cooling off period”. The regulations do contain exemption when this period does not apply. Where you have requested that collection be made within this seven day timeframe, the cooling off period no longer applies. By doing this you would not be able to reject our service during the cooling off period. 6.2)

On acceptance of the quotation you will not be able to cancel the request for service unless within the parameters in 6.1 without our agreement in writing. If we give permission it will be on the basis that you the prospective seller, are liable to us for reasonable and foreseeable losses as a result of the cancellation. General: 7)

An Online Valuation is not an offer by us to purchase the Car. It is simply a tool to enable you to estimate the value of your car and the price which we may be willing to pay for it. We always carry out a physical inspection of the Car before we agree to buy it. After you have received an Online Valuation, you may book an appointment for an inspection at one of our branches (an "Appointment"). If, on inspection of the Car at the Appointment, we consider that the value of the Car is affected by any aspect of its history or condition, including any unusual feature or customisation or anything which affects or limits the Assumptions we made about the Car, which was not apparent to us when we gave the Online Valuation, the price that we may be willing to pay for it following an inspection (the "Price") is likely to differ from the Online Valuation. We are not obliged to purchase any Car brought to an Appointment (in particular we reserve the right to turn you away from an Appointment if you are selling the Car for commercial purposes, e.g. in the course of a motor trade business) and neither are you obliged to sell any car brought to an Appointment. 25)

Offers made by local collection agents are based on the vehicle being complete with no parts removed, they are subject to inspection at the time of collection, scrap my car are not responsible legally or otherwise for offers made, your acceptance of this offer is made between you and the local collection agent.
