Private Auctions Terms & Conditions

Welcome to RAW2K Private Auctions, a service of RAW2K Ltd. By using this website, you accept these terms and conditions. This is a legally binding agreement between you and RAW2K Ltd; please read it carefully.


1. General Provisions

We invite you to bring to our attention any material on our site that you believe to be inaccurate. Please forward a copy of the material to [email protected] If you are an owner of intellectual property who believes your intellectual property has been improperly posted or distributed via this web site, please notify us by sending an email to [email protected] or by sending a notice by post to : RAW2K Ltd, Preston Recycling Park, Longridge Road, Preston, PR2 5BX. The web is an evolving medium. RAW2K Ltd may change the terms of this agreement from time to time. By continuing to use this website following our posting of such changes, you agree to be bound by this agreement, as modified. RAW2K Ltd may change, restrict access to, suspend, or discontinue this website, or any portion of this website, at any time. The material that appears on RAW2K Private Auctions is for informational purposes only. Despite our efforts to provide useful and accurate information, errors may appear from time to time. Before purchasing goods or services you have seen on RAW2K Private Auctions, you should confirm with the vendor any information that is important to your purchasing decision. RAW2K Ltd is not responsible for, and does not guarantee the performance of, any such goods or services. RAW2K Ltd is not responsible for and will not influence in any way, any decision(s) made by the seller or buyer.

2. Buying and Selling Vehicles

RAW2K Ltd is a vehicle listing and information service that brings together buyers and sellers of vehicles. Information about a particular vehicle is supplied by the seller, not by RAW2K Ltd. RAW2K Ltd are not responsible for the incorrect publishing of any images or information for vehicles on this site. Though we hope that all who come to RAW2K Private Auctions will act honourably and treat each other fairly, we can’t verify the information seller’s supply or guarantee the vehicles they offer. Nor can we assure the seller of a vehicle that the cheque he/she gets from the buyer is going to be honoured. When using this website to find a buyer for your vehicle or a vehicle you can buy, we urge you to use the same common sense and good judgement you would use in selling a car through, or responding to, a classified ad in the newspaper.

When you offer a vehicle for sale through RAW2K Private Auctions you must be prepared to sell that vehicle to the highest bidder at the winning bid value. You must have possession of the actual vehicle listed and the ability to transfer title. To list a vehicle for auction on RAW2K Ltd sellers are required to register as a RAW2K member and provide certain identifying and contact information. The Information must accurately identify the seller and the method of contact must permit buyers to communicate directly with the seller. RAW2K Ltd reserves the right to deny use of this website to anyone who does not comply with these requirements or who otherwise uses our website in a manner we consider inappropriate.

Responsibility for the information contained in each auctioned vehicle lies with each seller. You alone are responsible for material you post and for the content of all email messages transmitted through RAW2K Ltd. Nothing will undermine a user’s confidence in the vehicle you are looking to auction faster than inaccurate statements or misleading representations about the vehicle. And since any erosion of user confidence in you is likely to be accompanied by erosion of user confidence in us, we care deeply about making sure that the information you supply is accurate and that, in all respects, you treat RAW2K Ltd users fairly and honourably.

Though we cannot monitor every transaction that originates on RAW2K Private Auctions, we may perform random quality assurance tests to confirm that those who offer vehicles for sale over RAW2K Ltd are prepared to sell the vehicles they advertise at the prices at which, and the terms on which, they advertise them. If our tests reveal, or we otherwise learn, that a seller is engaging in “bait and switch” or other unfair or deceptive practices, RAW2K Ltd reserves the right to deny that seller use of the RAW2K Private Auctions.

Although RAW2K Ltd cannot monitor all the vehicles posted to our website, we reserve the right (but assume no obligation) to delete, move or edit any auctions or other postings that come to our attention that we consider unacceptable or inappropriate, whether for legal or other reasons. By using RAW2K Private Auctions you agree not to post or transmit any defamatory, abusive, obscene, threatening, misleading, or illegal material, or any other material that infringes on the rights of others or interferes with the ability of others to enjoy RAW2K Ltd. We retain the right to deny access to anyone who we believe has violated these terms or any other term of this agreement. We will not, in the ordinary course of business, review the content of private electronic messages that are not addressed to RAW2K Ltd. However, we may occasionally release information concerning such communications when release is appropriate to comply with law (including disclosure in response to a request from a law enforcement agency), to enforce our terms and conditions to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, our advertisers, the public or RAW2K Ltd.

By placing a vehicle on our Private Auction, you agree to pay the fees specified, regardless of whether your vehicle sells as a result of the listing.

Please note that members of RAW2K Ltd that intend to bid for vehicles as opposed to sell them, should read the following:

If at all possible schedule an inspection of the vehicle, though an inspection is not a warranty and there is no guarantee that all existing defects will be found, a qualified mechanic can help avoid future problems.

The bidding member is responsible for checking the vehicle details, asking questions to acquire further information, viewing the vehicle, HPI checks and dealing with the seller direct in order to ascertain any other relevant information.

RAW2K Ltd is the auction facility and accepts no responsibility for any arising defects or discrepancies.

Before you send payment for a vehicle, verify the sellers address and phone number, an email address is not enough. RAW2K Ltd will not be held responsible for any problems occurring due to paying the seller.

Ask the seller for a receipt of payment.
