TERMS AND CONDITONS
1. Nature of CarExpers Pre-Purchase Car Inspections
When you place your order with CarExperts, you are hiring us to evaluate the overall condition of the designated vehicle, based on what our inspectors can subjectively observe. CarExperts inspectors do not dismantle the vehicle. The CarExperts service is a visual inspection of all reasonably accessible items only, and some problems may not be observable during the inspection. The CarExperts inspector will attempt to test drive the vehicle, but if it’s not possible for various reasons, a test drive will not be conducted. Once the inspection is completed, you will receive pre-purchase car inspection report.
2. CarExperts Service Limited to Inspection
CarExperts performs inspection services only. CarExperts are not affiliated with the seller of the vehicle and does not take a position on whether you should, or should not, purchase the vehicle. CarExperts does not verify that the seller has the legal right to sell the vehicle. CarExperts is not responsible for any representations made by the seller or any other party.
3. Inspection Is Not A Warranty
An inspection does not act as a warranty for any vehicle. You acknowledge and agree that if you purchase any vehicle inspected by CarExperts, you are fully responsible for all costs for repairs and maintenance on your vehicle, whether or not covered by any other warranty. You acknowledge and agree that the decision to purchase any vehicle remains your own responsibility and that you are responsible for determining whether a vehicle is under warranty.
4. Vehicle Remains "As Is"
Because the vehicle being inspected is a "used" vehicle, you agree that, even after inspection, you will be purchasing the vehicle in an "as is" condition, unless otherwise warranted by the seller. Because a vehicle's condition may change between the time the inspection is conducted and the actual purchase of the vehicle, we recommend having the inspection completed as close in time to the purchase as possible. The CarExperts report is not a substitute for any safety or emissions inspection that may be required by laws. You acknowledge and agree that the CarExperts inspection doesn’t create any warranty for any vehicle you may purchase and that your right to recover for any defects in the vehicle, whether or not disclosed in the CarExperts report, is limited to any warranty the seller may offer. CarExperts.ie do not except any responsiblity for any Mechaical failures, NCT Failures, Damage, Bodywork Repairs, Flood Damage, Write-Off and Mileage Tampering on any vehicle that has had a CarExperts.ie pre-purchase car inspection.
5. Factors Affecting Inspections
CarExperts inspections may be affected by weather and light conditions, as well as the cleanliness of the vehicle, both inside and out, at the time of the inspection. Many external factors, beyond our control, can reduce the accuracy of the inspection, making things such as repainting and body work difficult to detect with the naked eye. For the most accurate inspection report, the vehicle must be clean, dry and situated in well-lit location at the time of inspection. However, CarExperts does not agree to take any steps or actions affecting the vehicle's condition at the time of the inspection. CarExperts strongly suggests that you contact the seller and make all necessary accommodations to ensure that the vehicle is as clean as possible and available in a suitable location for an inspection.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
ALL SERVICES FROM CAREXPERTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS, WITH ALL DEFECTS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
