3. CARIFY Auction
3.1 Summary
By starting an auction on the CARIFY platform and accepting the General Terms and Conditions of Business and Use, the seller makes a legally binding request for purchase offers for his vehicle. The information provided by the seller is checked by CARIFY for completeness of content, but not for correctness. Subsequently, the auction is either released or rejected.
There is no right for the seller and no obligation for CARIFY as well as the CARIFY partners for the execution of an auction. After the auction has started, the CARIFY partners have the right, but not the obligation, to make a purchase offer for the seller's vehicle. After the auction has been timed, the seller receives the final purchase offer, provided that at least one offer has been submitted. The customer then has the option, but not the obligation, to accept the offer within a period predefined by CARIFY.
3.2 Use of the CARIFY Platform
Use of the platform requires free registration as a user. CARIFY reserves the express right to reject auction requests or to exclude users without justification.
3.3 Fees
CARIFY reserves the right to charge a transportation and brokerage fee on top of the transaction price. The fee will be deducted directly from the CARIFY partner's offer to the seller.
3.4 Seller and CARIFY Partner
The seller is a user who autonomously and on his own responsibility places a vehicle for auction. The placement of a vehicle for the purpose of conducting an online auction constitutes a non-binding offer.
3.5 Obligations
The seller is obligated to provide the vehicle details and information required by the CARIFY platform fully and truthfully.
The seller is hereby under a legal obligation to confer unrestricted ownership rights to the CARIFY partner upon acceptance of the offer for the purchased vehicle. CARIFY disclaims any liability in this matter.
Before the commencement of the auction, the seller explicitly affirms that:
- All information pertaining to the vehicle submitted to CARIFY is truthful;
- The vehicle has not been involved in any accidents;
- The seller is the sole and unencumbered proprietor of the specified vehicle, with no third-party claims or retentions of title in existence;
- The seller will promptly inform CARIFY if the vehicle is subject to a current leasing contract;
- The mileage displayed accurately corresponds to the actual kilometers driven (with a tolerance of 100km);
- The seller is not aware of any hidden defects;
- The risk of loss, damage, or depreciation is borne by the seller until the moment of the vehicle handover.
In case of any violations, the seller is responsible for covering the costs of the reversal process.
3.6 Procedure
The listing of a vehicle for the purpose of an online auction by a seller constitutes a non-binding offer. The submission of a purchase price by the CARIFY partner constitutes a binding offer to purchase.
The seller can advertise a vehicle for auction on the CARIFY platform. As soon as the auction is published, CARIFY partners can submit a purchase offer. The auction ends at a predefined time. As soon as the auction is closed, an offer is submitted to the seller. The seller can then decide, but is not obliged, to accept the offer.
Once the offer is accepted, the CARIFY partner transfers the amount to CARIFY. CARIFY organizes the transport from the seller to the corresponding CARIFY partner. Upon confirmation of the vehicle's delivery and accuracy by the CARIFY partner, the seller shall receive payment from CARIFY. The closure of the auction is contingent upon the seller's receipt of payment. Until then, the seller is obligated to maintain the vehicle's registration with the STVA, and the insurance coverage must remain in force. If the vehicle is deregistered prior to the completion of the transaction, any fees incurred for re-registration shall be borne by the seller.
4. Final provisions
CARIFY reserves the right to modify the Terms of Use at any time. Continued use of CARIFY services constitutes acceptance of the Terms of Use. The Terms of Use and all enclosures are governed by applicable Swiss law. The place of jurisdiction is Zurich, Switzerland.
