Website terms of use

Who we are

buyingdesk.co.uk is run by Get Marketing Online Ltd, trading as Buying Desk ("we", "us").

• Company number 11670996, registered in England and Wales
• Registered office: 105 High Street, Brentwood, Essex, CM14 4RR

By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What these terms cover

These terms cover your use of buyingdesk.co.uk: its pages, guides, calculator, area checker, demo and forms.

They don't cover the Buying Desk service itself. If your dealership signs up, a separate customer agreement sets out what we provide, what it costs and both sides' responsibilities. If the two ever conflict, the customer agreement applies.

We don't buy cars. If you're selling a car through a dealer's buying site, you're dealing with that dealership, and its own terms apply.

Information on this site

We work hard to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date, but:

• The calculator and worked examples are illustrative. They show what's possible using the figures entered or stated, such as published standard auction fees and typical transport costs. They're not a quote, and we don't promise that you'll save any particular amount. Your costs and results depend on how you buy.
• Our guides are general information. They're written to be practical and are checked against their sources, but they're not legal, tax, financial or professional advice. Take advice suited to your own situation before acting, particularly on VAT, finance and legal obligations.
• Third-party figures change. Where we quote figures from others, such as auction fee rate cards, we show the source and the date checked. Always check the current figures with the provider.
• Prices aren't shown on this site. Any price we give you is confirmed in writing, and only a signed customer agreement is binding.

The demo

The demo shows the valuation page a dealer's customer would use. It does not buy a car, and it does not send a live enquiry to a dealer.

A figure in the demo is an example. It is not an offer to pay that amount, and it is not a promise of what a dealer would offer for a real car. While the interactive demo is not connected, the page is a preview and uses example content.

If you later sell a car through a dealer's own buying site, you are dealing with that dealership. Their terms apply.

Registering interest and the area checker

Registering interest or booking a call doesn't commit you to anything, and it doesn't commit us to providing the service.

The area checker gives an indication only. It doesn't reserve an area for you. Area exclusivity is confirmed only in a signed customer agreement.

Using the site properly

You agree not to:

• use the site for anything unlawful, or to send us false or misleading information
• copy, scrape or harvest content or data from the site by automated means
• use the calculator, area checker, demo or forms in a way intended to overload, test or abuse them
• try to get unauthorised access to the site, our systems or any account
• introduce viruses or other harmful code

We may limit or block access to protect the site and other users.

Our content

The content on this site, including text, guides, designs, graphics, the calculator and the Buying Desk name and branding, belongs to us or the people who licensed it to us.

You're welcome to read it, print it or share links to it for your own business use. You can quote short extracts from our guides as long as you credit Buying Desk and link to the original page. Please don't copy substantial parts of the site, or use our name or branding in a way that suggests we endorse you, without our written permission.

Links

We link to other websites, such as auction houses and official sources, for your information. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content. A link doesn't mean we endorse the site.

You may link to our home page or any guide, as long as you do it fairly and don't suggest a relationship or endorsement that doesn't exist.

Availability

We aim to keep the site available, but we can't guarantee it will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site without notice.

Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't be limited by law.

The site is provided free of charge, for business use. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for:

• any loss arising from relying on the calculator, the demo, examples, guides or other information on the site
• loss of profits, sales, business, revenue, data or goodwill
• any indirect or consequential loss

Your personal data

Our privacy notice explains how we use personal data, and our cookie notice explains the cookies we use.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they were last updated. Please check back occasionally, as the current version applies whenever you use the site.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Any dispute about them will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales.
