TERMS & CONDITIONS

Impound Car Auction sells certain impounded, abandoned, unclaimed, and otherwise lawfully disposed vehicles through auction in accordance with applicable law. All vehicles are offered subject to these Terms & Conditions, as well as any additional rules, notices, or sale announcements posted for a specific auction.

We reserve the right to update auction procedures, remove vehicles from sale, reject bids, suspend bidding privileges, and make decisions necessary to manage the auction process in a fair and lawful manner.

Unless otherwise stated, vehicles sold by Impound Car Auction are intended for buyers authorized under applicable law, including licensed Automotive Dismantlers & Recyclers and licensed Scrap Processors.

All bidders must provide any requested business licenses, government-issued identification, tax documents, or other supporting records required to verify eligibility before bidding or before a vehicle is released.

Impound Car Auction reserves the right to deny registration, suspend an account, reject a bid, or refuse a sale if bidder eligibility cannot be verified to our satisfaction.

Each bidder must register using their own legal name or business name. Account sharing is strictly prohibited. You are fully responsible for all activity conducted under your account, including all bids placed using your username and password.

Any vehicle purchased under your account will be sold to the registered bidder on file. If another individual uses your account, you remain financially responsible for any winning bids and all related obligations.

In-person viewing is encouraged. Viewing hours will be posted for each auction and may vary depending on the sale.

All vehicles are available for inspection only during designated viewing times. Vehicles may not be started, moved, dismantled, repaired, entered, or otherwise disturbed unless specifically authorized by our staff.

Vehicle descriptions, VIN information, photographs, condition notes, and auction listings are provided for convenience only. Bidders are solely responsible for inspecting vehicles and making their own determination as to condition, value, and suitability before placing a bid.

When available, proxy bidding allows you to enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for a vehicle. Our auction platform may then place bids on your behalf in the stated bid increments until your maximum bid is reached or another bidder exceeds it.

Proxy bidding is intended to help bidders compete without monitoring the auction continuously. However, entering a proxy bid does not guarantee that you will win the vehicle.

If extended bidding is enabled for a sale, any bidding activity that occurs within the final moments of a lot’s closing time may automatically extend bidding for that lot for an additional period. This feature gives all bidders a final opportunity to compete fairly.

The exact extension period, when applicable, will be stated in the auction platform or sale terms.

Vehicles offered for sale may be subject to redemption, withdrawal, or removal from auction where permitted by law. If a vehicle is redeemed or otherwise lawfully removed from sale before the auction is completed, Impound Car Auction shall have no liability to any bidder for the withdrawal of that vehicle, even if bids have already been placed.

By participating in our auctions, bidders understand and accept that not every listed vehicle is guaranteed to remain available through final closing.

All bids are binding. Once a bid is placed, it may not be withdrawn except as expressly permitted by Impound Car Auction.

The highest accepted bid at the close of auction will be considered the winning bid, subject to these Terms & Conditions and any applicable legal requirements. We reserve the right to reject any bid, resolve bidding disputes, reopen bidding in the event of error, cancel a sale, or remove a lot from auction at any time.

Payment in full is due by the deadline posted for the auction. Unless otherwise stated in the sale terms, all purchases must be paid in full no later than the close of business on the day of auction.

Accepted forms of payment:

• Cash
• Visa
• MasterCard
• Discover
• Certified funds
• Cashiers Checks

A convenience fee may be added to card transactions where disclosed. Personal checks are not accepted unless specifically approved in advance by management.

No vehicle will be released until the full balance due has been paid and all payments have cleared.

Failure to pay for a vehicle within the required time constitutes default. If a bidder defaults, Impound Car Auction may cancel the sale, revoke bidding privileges, apply relisting or administrative fees, retain deposits if applicable, and pursue any other remedy available by law.

Defaulting bidders may be prohibited from participating in future auctions until all outstanding balances and fees are paid in full.

All vehicles are sold as is, where is, with all faults.

There are no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, roadworthiness, condition, title status, mileage accuracy, or suitability for any use.

Impound Car Auction makes no guarantee regarding:

• Mechanical condition
• Drivability or runability
• Mileage or odometer accuracy
• Presence of keys
• Prior damage
• Completeness of parts
• Title availability
• Ability to register or transfer ownership
• Suitability for any intended use

Buyers assume full responsibility for evaluating each vehicle before bidding.

Vehicles may be sold with whatever paperwork is available at the time of sale. Documentation may include sale paperwork, disposal paperwork, title-related documents, or other transfer records where applicable.

Some vehicles may be sold strictly for dismantling, recycling, parts use, or scrap purposes only. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to determine whether they may lawfully acquire, transport, dismantle, process, recycle, or otherwise dispose of the vehicle under applicable law.

Each buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state, county, municipal, licensing, tax, environmental, transportation, dismantling, recycling, reporting, and disposal requirements related to any purchased vehicle. This includes obligations concerning:

• Transport & Storage
• Title or transfer procedures
• Dismantling & parts resale
• Scrap processing
• Environmental handling
• Final disposal

Impound Car Auction is not responsible for advising buyers on legal compliance after the sale.

All purchased vehicles must be removed within the time period stated for the auction. Unless otherwise posted, vehicles must be removed within two business days following auction close and payment clearance.

Buyers are responsible for bringing their own towing, hauling, loading, and transport equipment. We do not permit repairs, dismantling, fluid draining, parts removal, or mechanical work on our premises.

Vehicles not removed within the required time may incur daily storage charges and may be subject to additional enforcement or disposal procedures as permitted by law.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, personal property found inside a vehicle is not guaranteed to be included in the sale and may be withheld where required by law or company policy.

If any contents are released with a vehicle, they are transferred without representation or warranty of any kind.

Risk of loss passes to the buyer when the vehicle is declared sold. Buyers are responsible for securing prompt payment, pickup, transport, and all related arrangements after purchase.

All persons entering our facility do so at their own risk. Unsafe conduct, tampering with vehicles, entering restricted areas, harassment, disorderly behavior, or failure to follow staff instructions may result in removal from the premises, cancellation of auction privileges, and referral to law enforcement when appropriate.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Impound Car Auction, its owners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or related to:

• Auction participation
• Registration issues
• Bidding disputes
• Vehicle withdrawal or redemption
• Listing errors
• Title or paperwork issues
• Vehicle condition
• Delay in pickup
• Removal difficulties
• Storage charges
• Transport, dismantling, recycling, or disposal

Participation in our auctions is at the bidder’s own risk.

Impound Car Auction reserves the right to refuse registration, bidding privileges, payment methods, vehicle release, or service to any person or business for lawful reasons, including failure to comply with these Terms & Conditions.

These Terms & Conditions may be revised from time to time without prior notice. The version posted on our website or made available at the time of auction will govern that auction.
