Note for Consumers
These terms do not affect your statutory rights.
1. General
1.1 “We”, “us”, and “Scrap My Car Services” refer to the company facilitating vehicle quotes and introductions.
1.2 “You”, “Seller”, or “Customer” refers to the vehicle owner requesting a valuation or disposal.
2. About Our Service
2.1 We provide an online valuation and introduction service. We are not the buyer or collector of your vehicle. Valuations are generated by independent, licensed recycling centres (ATFs), who handle collection and payment directly.
2.2 These terms form the agreement between you and Scrap My Car Services. Any changes must be agreed in writing.
2.3 To begin, submit your vehicle details via our website. Your quote is based solely on your input — if the car’s condition differs from what’s entered, you must inform the recycling company before collection.
2.4 All quotes are non-binding and may be withdrawn at any time.
3. Quoted Prices
3.1 All valuations are in GBP (£).
3.2 Quotes are based on your information and current trade data. Inaccurate or false data may lead to changes or cancellations.
3.3 We are not liable for pricing errors caused by technical faults or third-party data.
3.4 Quotes are for guidance only and are not legally binding.
4. Cancellations
4.1 You may cancel after accepting a quote, but if collection has already been arranged, you could be charged for the failed trip.
5. Payments
5.1 We connect sellers to ATFs or salvage buyers.
5.2 Payments are handled directly by the appointed buyer.
5.3 You’ll be paid at the time of collection, following the agreed terms.
6. Your Warranties
6.1 You confirm that:
- All information provided is true and accurate
- The vehicle has no undisclosed finance
- You are the legal owner and have full rights to sell
- No one else has a claim to the vehicle
7. Your Responsibilities
7.1 You transfer ownership of the vehicle to the recycling partner collecting it.
7.2 The recycling company is responsible for your payment.
7.3 If your vehicle is scrapped, they’ll notify the DVLA and issue a Certificate of Destruction.
8. Vehicles with Finance
8.1 If there is outstanding finance, you must inform the buyer before collection.
8.2 You remain liable for any remaining finance — this does not transfer to us or the buyer.
9. Ownership Transfer
9.1 Ownership and risk transfer to the buyer when payment is issued. If paid to a third party (e.g. finance company), ownership passes at the time of that payment.
10. Vehicle Inspection
10.1 The buyer will inspect your vehicle on collection. If it doesn’t match the online description, a revised quote may be given.
11. What You Must Provide
11.1 When your vehicle is collected, you should hand over the logbook (V5C), keys, manuals, service history, and any related documents.
12. No Responsibility for Loss
12.1 We are not liable for any indirect or financial loss, including lost profits or related costs.
13. Limitation of Liability
13.1 While we accept liability for personal injury caused by our negligence, we are not responsible for any damage to property.
14. Changes to These Terms
14.1 These terms can only be changed in writing and signed by both parties.
15. Third Parties
15.1 No third party has rights under these terms. The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 does not apply.
16. Legal Jurisdiction
16.1 These terms are governed by English law and subject to the jurisdiction of English courts.
