1. What CarFlipper is
CarFlipper is an online marketplace where private sellers and dealers list used vehicles and buyers purchase them through Buy Now or timed auctions. CarFlipper is not the seller or buyer of any vehicle, does not take ownership of vehicles, and does not inspect them. The contract for each sale is between the buyer and the seller.
2. Accounts
You must be at least 18 and able to enter binding contracts. Keep your login secure and give accurate information. We may suspend accounts that break these terms, place bids they don't intend to honor, or post false listings.
3. Listing a vehicle
Listing is free. When you list, you confirm that you own the vehicle or have the legal right to sell it, that you can deliver a valid title, and that the description, photos, mileage and history you provide are accurate. You agree to sell to the winning bidder (when the reserve is met) or to the Buy Now buyer at the listed price.
4. Buying and bidding
Every bid is a binding offer to buy the vehicle at that amount if you win. Using Buy Now is a commitment to buy at the Buy Now price. After you win or use Buy Now, you must pay the $199 CarFlipper buyer fee within the time shown (30 minutes for Buy Now, 48 hours for auctions) or the sale is cancelled. You pay the vehicle price directly to the seller at pickup. See the Auction rules.
5. Fees and subscriptions
The buyer fee is non-refundable once paid, except where the seller fails to complete the sale as described or as required by law. Investor Pro and Dealer Fleet plans are billed monthly through Stripe and renew automatically until you cancel in your account. Cancelling stops future charges; we don't give partial refunds for the current month.
6. Profit estimates
Values, costs and profit figures on CarFlipper are estimates produced by a model. They are not appraisals, financial advice or a promise of any result. Actual resale prices and costs vary. Inspect every vehicle and verify its history before buying.
7. Prohibited conduct
No shill bidding (bidding on your own car or with someone acting for you), fake listings, stolen vehicles, title washing, odometer fraud, harassment, or attempts to avoid fees by completing a CarFlipper-introduced sale off the platform.
8. Disclaimers and limits
The site is provided “as is.” To the extent the law allows, CarFlipper is not liable for the condition, title, legality or delivery of any vehicle, or for indirect or consequential losses. Our total liability to you is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Changes
We may update these terms. If changes are significant we'll notify you by email or on the site. Continuing to use CarFlipper means you accept the updated terms.
