Terms of Use and Agreement for Doing Business with AutoVault

A1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts to use this website or transact with us.

A2. Informational Purpose

The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes. Nothing on this website is an offer to sell, a binding quotation, a guarantee of availability, an appraisal, or financial, legal, or tax advice.

A3. Accuracy of Content

We work to keep listings accurate, but specifications, equipment, options, mileage, pricing, and availability are subject to error, omission, and change without notice. All vehicles are subject to prior sale. Verify any detail that matters to your decision with us directly before relying on it.

A4. Photographs and Media

Listing photographs may be digitally enhanced for clarity, including background replacement, lighting correction, and AI-assisted upscaling. Enhanced photographs are not a representation of paint condition, panel alignment, or the absence of damage. Stock or manufacturer imagery may be used where noted.

A5. Intellectual Property

The website and its content, text, photographs, video, graphics, logos, and the AutoVault name and marks, are owned by or licensed to AutoVault and protected by law. You may view and print pages for your own non-commercial use in evaluating a transaction with us. You may not copy, scrape, republish, or use our listings, photographs, or content for any other purpose without our written permission.

A6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use automated tools to scrape or harvest the website, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system or account, interfere with the operation of the site, submit false information, or use the site for any unlawful purpose.

A7. Accounts and Client Login

If you are given access to a client portal, you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

A8. Communications Consent

By providing your telephone number or email address, you consent to receive calls, text messages, and emails from AutoVault and its agents about your inquiry or transaction, including messages sent using automated technology. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing messages at any time by replying STOP to a text, using the unsubscribe link in an email, or contacting us at [email protected]; we may still contact you about an active transaction.

A9. Electronic Records and Signatures

You consent to conduct business electronically and to receive documents, disclosures, and notices electronically. Electronic signatures on our documents have the same effect as handwritten signatures under Florida's Uniform Electronic Transaction Act and the federal E-SIGN Act. You may request paper copies of any signed transaction document at no charge.

A10. Privacy

Information you submit is used to respond to your inquiry, process a transaction, and meet legal and lender requirements. We do not sell your personal information. Applications submitted for financing are shared with the lenders you authorize.

A11. Third-Party Links and Services

The website links to third-party sites and services, including lenders, vehicle history providers, and transport companies. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, products, or conduct.

A12. Website Warranty Disclaimer

This website is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

B1. How a Sale Becomes Binding

An inquiry, a verbal agreement, a text message, or a deposit does not create a binding sale. A sale is binding only when a Retail Purchase Agreement is signed by both parties and funds have cleared.

B2. Pricing and Fees

Advertised prices exclude applicable taxes, title, registration, electronic filing, and dealer documentation fees. Prices are subject to change without notice. The final price is confirmed in writing at the time of purchase.

B3. Deposits

Deposits are applied to the purchase price. Whether a deposit is refundable, and on what conditions, is stated in writing at the time the deposit is taken. A deposit holds a vehicle only for the period we specify in writing.

B4. Vehicle Sourcing and Auction Announcements

A portion of our inventory is acquired at dealer-only wholesale auction. Vehicles sold at those auctions are often accompanied by seller or auction announcements, which may include announcements of structural damage, frame damage, prior repair, mileage discrepancies, missing equipment, or "as-is" status.

Where we have actual knowledge of an auction announcement affecting a vehicle, we disclose it in the vehicle's listing description and on a separate written disclosure signed by the buyer at the time of sale.

Auction announcements and auction condition-report findings frequently do not appear on CARFAX, AutoCheck, or any other vehicle history report. The absence of an entry on such a report is not a representation by AutoVault that no such condition exists.

B5. Vehicle History Reports

Any vehicle history report we make available is a third-party product prepared by CARFAX, Experian, or a similar provider. We do not prepare, verify, or guarantee those reports and make no representation as to their accuracy or completeness. Any guarantee offered with such a report is the provider's, not ours. Reports reflect only events reported to the provider and can become outdated after issuance. We encourage every buyer to pull a current report at the time of purchase.

B6. Condition and Independent Inspection

All vehicles we offer are pre-owned and may have sustained damage, wear, or repair that is not visible, not documented, and not known to us.

We recommend that every buyer inspect the vehicle personally, or have it inspected by an independent qualified third party of the buyer's choosing and at the buyer's expense, before purchase. We will make any vehicle available for that inspection at a reasonable time and place before sale. A buyer who purchases without an independent inspection does so at their own election, having been offered and advised of the opportunity to inspect.

B7. Vehicles Located Off Premises; Remote Purchases

Some vehicles we offer are located at an auction facility, a third-party storage location, or in transit, and are not physically present at our dealership. Where a vehicle has not been physically inspected or reconditioned by AutoVault, we disclose that in writing before purchase.

Where a buyer elects to take delivery at a location other than our dealership, the buyer accepts the vehicle at that location and risk of loss passes to the buyer upon delivery there.

B8. AS-IS Sale; No Warranty

Unless a written warranty or service contract is expressly provided at the time of sale, every vehicle is sold AS IS, NO DEALER WARRANTY, as reflected on the FTC Buyers Guide displayed on the vehicle and delivered to the buyer.

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Our salespeople and agents are not authorized to make any representation or promise that is not contained in the signed sale documents, and no oral statement modifies this Agreement or those documents.

B9. All Sales Final; Returns and Unwinds

All sales are final. AutoVault does not offer a return period, exchange period, cooling-off period, buyback program, or money-back guarantee. Florida law does not provide a cooling-off period for motor vehicle purchases.

AutoVault may, in its sole discretion and as a business accommodation only, agree to accept the return of a vehicle. Any such agreement is effective only if set out in a writing signed by an officer of AutoVault, and is not an admission of any defect, misrepresentation, or liability.

Where we agree in writing to accept a return:

• The vehicle must be delivered to AutoVault at 14211 NE 18th Ave, North Miami, FL 33181, unless we designate a different location in writing. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, the buyer bears the cost of returning the vehicle to that location.

• The vehicle must be returned in substantially the condition in which it was delivered, ordinary wear excepted, together with all keys, key cards, fobs, temporary tags, manuals, equipment, and title and registration documents.

• The buyer must sign all title reassignment, power of attorney, and odometer disclosure documents needed to transfer the vehicle back to AutoVault.

• Any refund or lienholder payoff is conditioned on return of the vehicle as described above, delivery of clear title, and satisfaction or release of any lien of record. Where a lienholder is involved, funds are remitted directly to the lienholder rather than to the buyer, and any balance owed above the amount AutoVault agrees to pay remains the buyer's responsibility.

Timing of any payment follows the schedule set out in the written agreement.

B10. Title and Registration

Title and registration are processed after funds clear and all required documents are signed. Out-of-state buyers are responsible for registering the vehicle in their state of residence and for any tax, title, and registration requirements there. Temporary tags are issued only where permitted by law.

B11. Financing

Financing options are offered through third-party lenders and are subject to credit approval. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval or any particular rate or term. AutoVault is not a lender and does not extend credit directly. Where a lender funds a purchase, the buyer's obligations to that lender are separate from this Agreement and remain the buyer's responsibility.

B12. Trade-Ins

Trade-ins are accepted case by case and are subject to inspection and valuation. A quote given before physical inspection is an estimate and may change. You represent that you have good title to any vehicle you trade, that you have disclosed any lien, and that the odometer reading and history you provide are accurate.

B13. Vehicles You Sell or Consign to Us

If you sell or consign a vehicle to AutoVault, you represent that you own it free of undisclosed liens, that its odometer reading is accurate to your knowledge, and that you have disclosed any known accident, flood, structural, or title-brand history. You agree to indemnify AutoVault for losses arising from an inaccurate representation.

B14. Sourcing Services

Where we source a vehicle at your request, we act as your dealer in locating and acquiring the vehicle. Sourced vehicles are frequently acquired at auction or from third parties, sight unseen, and are subject to Sections B4 through B8. Any sourcing fee, deposit, and purchase parameters are agreed in writing before we bid or purchase on your behalf.

B15. Shipping and Delivery

Nationwide shipping may be arranged for a fee. Carriers are independent third parties. Shipping costs, timelines, and arrangements are confirmed separately, and are the buyer's responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing. Transit damage claims are made against the carrier and its insurance.

B16. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, AutoVault is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including lost profits, loss of use, rental costs, storage, towing, or diminished value. Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

B17. Governing Law and Venue

This Agreement, and any transaction governed by it, is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Except where applicable law requires otherwise, the exclusive venue for any action arising out of or relating to this website or a transaction with AutoVault is the state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

B18. Notices

Notices to AutoVault must be sent to [email protected] or to 14211 NE 18th Ave, North Miami, FL 33181. Notices to you may be sent to the email address, telephone number, or mailing address you provide.

B19. Statutory Rights Preserved

Nothing in this Agreement waives or limits, or is intended to waive or limit, any right that cannot lawfully be waived under Florida or federal law, including rights under Sections 320.27, 501.976, and 501.201 et seq., Florida Statutes, the FTC Used Car Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 455), and federal odometer disclosure requirements. Nothing in this Agreement restricts any person from filing a complaint with, or communicating with, any governmental agency or regulator.

B20. Severability, Waiver, and Changes

If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. We may amend this Agreement at any time by posting an updated version; the version in effect on the date of your transaction governs that transaction.
