Terms & Conditions

Please read these Conditions carefully as they govern the provision of a digital advertising package by us to you. We may modify these Conditions from time to time and you should therefore ensure that you review these Conditions regularly.

When we refer to “Legacy Vehicles” this includes the website located at www.legacyvehicles.co.uk (“Legacy Vehicles Website”), and all other Legacy Vehicles platforms including mobile and tablet and the Legacy Vehicles social media and communications platforms owned and operated by us.

These Conditions apply to any adverts that are placed, renewed and/or amended until that advert expires or is amended or renewed.

  1. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

    1. These Conditions apply to any advert for the sale of a vehicle that is placed on Legacy Vehicles by a private advertiser and together with all other policies and terms posted on the Legacy Vehicles Website, set out the terms on which we enter into a contract with you to provide you with access to our platforms and services.

    2. By placing an advert with us, you are deemed to have accepted these Conditions.

    3. Each time we accept a request from you to place an advert on Legacy Vehicles, a separate severable contract is formed between you and us which is subject to these Conditions.

  2. PLACING AN ADVERT

    1. When you place an advert with Legacy Vehicles, you agree that the information supplied with your registration will be truthful, accurate and complete. You also agree that you will not attempt to register in the name of any other individual.

    4. As soon as your advert has been accepted for publication, a confirmation email will be sent to you explaining that the advert has gone live on Legacy Vehicles and you will be given a unique identification number in respect of your advert. In the event that an advert has been rejected for publication, we will attempt to contact you to explain why your advert has been rejected. In the event that we reject the advert prior to publishing, no charge will be incurred by you. Please note that no contract will be deemed to exist between you and us until we have sent you a confirmation email.

    2. If we fail to comply with these Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage that you suffer as a foreseeable result of our breach of the Conditions or our negligence but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable or for any loss or damage not caused by any breach on our part. Loss or damage would be foreseeable if it were an obvious consequence of our breach or if it were contemplated by you and us at the time the advert was published and the contract was formed.

  12. GENERAL

    1. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Conditions to a third party and we will always notify you in writing if this happens. This will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Conditions.

    2. Each of the paragraphs of these Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them or any part of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs or parts will remain in full force and effect.

    3. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Conditions, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive an obligation by you, we will only do so in writing and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

    4. These Conditions form a contract between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce them.

    5. These Conditions are governed and construed by English law. This means that the contract formed between you and us and any dispute or claim arising out of it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree that the Courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. This means that a claim could be brought in England or if you are a resident of Northern Ireland, you may bring a claim in Northern Ireland and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may bring a claim in Scotland. English law will however, apply in all cases.

  13. TRADE ADVERTISING

    1. These Conditions relate to the advertising of vehicles by PRIVATE SELLERS ONLY.

    2. If you are a trader acting in the course of your business, you are not permitted to place any advert as a private advert and/or otherwise pass yourself off as a private seller. The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Practices Regulations 2008 requires all adverts placed by people who seek to sell goods in the course of business to make the fact clear. This requirement applies whether the advertiser is acting on his own behalf, or for some other person. Customers should be able to tell whether an advert relates to a sale by a trade or private seller. It is the responsibility of the advertiser to comply with the Regulations. If you are a trader acting in the course of your business, it is an offence, for which you may be prosecuted, not to advertise the fact that you are a trader.

    3. We may, in our sole discretion, remove any advert that has been placed as private which we reasonably believe has been placed by a trader acting in the course of a business. In such circumstances, you will not be entitled to any refund for the advert in question and you may be charged an administration fee by us.
