1. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1.1 References to ‘we’, ‘us’, or “Scrap My Car Online” relate to MLB Autospares Limited trading as ” Scrap My Car Online “.
1.2 References to the “Seller” or ‘Customer’ relate to you, the owner of the vehicle which is the subject matter of a valuation/purchase or disposal request.
2. PRE-CONTRACT INFORMATION
2.1. This document sets out the terms and conditions between you and us. It is our intention that the Service is provided and accepted on these terms. If you are a Consumer and wish to rely on any variation to these terms then you should ensure that the variation is notified to us in writing and acknowledgement of receipt and agreement obtained before issuing any instructions to us to carry out the Service.
2.2 In order to commence the purchase process, you (the Seller) must visit the Scrap My Car Online website www.scrapmycaronline.co.uk and fully complete the online valuation process. You will need to provide us with certain information about the vehicle you want to sell and its location. Once you have completed the online valuation process you will subsequently receive an e-mail that will contain the given valuation. The on-line valuation is based only on the details provided by the seller, and the assumptions made therein, and takes no account of the condition of the vehicle. If there are circumstances under which these assumptions cannot be met (e.g. the vehicle is incomplete), the seller must inform the Scrap My Car Online appointed Recycling Company before arrangements are made to collect the vehicle.
2.3 This valuation is provided on a “subject to contract” basis and is not legally binding. Scrap My Car Online reserves the right to withdraw the valuation at any time without legal consequence and with no liability to the prospective Seller.
2.4 All valuations and quotes are based on the assumption that your vehicle is free from significant damage and that the vehicle will be complete (including wheels and tyres), intact, free from damage (that may present difficulties with safe transportation) and is accessible. You must tell the recycling centre if any of these assumptions are incorrect before they arrange the collection (during the follow up call). In some cases (not all), the recycling centre may need to adjust their offer however you are under no obligation to accept. In exceptional circumstances, if the condition of the vehicle or access to the vehicle does not meet the minimum requirements, the recycling centre may have to withdraw their offer to collect.
2.5 All quotes are offered on the basis that the car will be supplied complete and intact. If parts have been removed or dismantled, this may mean that the recycling centre will need to adjust their offered price. You will be under no obligation to accept any adjusted price. In some circumstances, the recycling centre may advise that they cannot collect the car due to the missing parts. If you fail to disclose missing or dismantled parts and a truck arrives to collect your car, the driver may refuse to collect the vehicle and you may be charged for their wasted journey.
2.6 You must inform the recycle centre of any  modifications or non-factory fitted parts on the vehicle. For example the vehicle’s catalytic converter must be the original fitted catalytic converter. If the vehicle is modified, we may still accept your vehicle, however the valuation may change. Upon any valuation/quote changes, you are under no obligation to accept the new valuation and you may cancel the collection if you wish.
3. PRICE QUOTED
3.1 The price quoted in the valuation will be in pounds sterling.
3.2 All prices quoted in the valuation are given in good faith and are derived from a combination of factors including the information supplied by the Seller and third party data. The provision of inaccurate, false or misleading data by the Seller, or as a result of third party errors, will result in an inaccurate valuation & under these circumstances Scrap My Car Online is under no obligation to honor the quote.
3.3 If for some reason an error in the valuation quoted has occurred, Scrap My Car Online will rectify the price as soon as reasonable practicable after notification of the mistake. No liability whatsoever can be accepted by Scrap My Car Online for accidental mistakes or errors caused by system failures or third party data providers.
3.4 The valuations provided are on a ‘subject to contract’ basis and are not legally binding upon Scrap My Car Online or the prospective Purchaser on whose behalf Scrap My Car Online has provided a quote. Scrap My Car Online reserves the right to withdraw the valuation at any time without legal consequence and with no liability to the prospective Seller.
4. CANCELLATION
4.1 Once you have accepted the Quotation, you may cancel the contract by notifying us at any time prior to the collection service being executed. However if you fail to notify us of the cancellation before the collection has been initiated, then you may be liable for the cost of the aborted collection trip.
