These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Car Valuations Pty Ltd (ACN 658 712 906) (“Car Valuations”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Please read these Terms carefully as they govern your use of and access to our website (“Site”) and information about the valuations of vehicles made available on our Site (“Services”).

By accessing our Site and Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, then you must not access or use our Site and Services.

Purpose of our Site and Services

Our Site and Services are intended as a source of general information about the valuation of vehicles and must only be used for personal and non-commercial use. Valuations are based on information gathered from a range of third-party sources. Any valuation of a vehicle produced by our Site and/or Services may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such material.

  4. that our Site and Services are free of malware or other harmful components; or

You must not rely on the vehicle valuations produced by our Site and Services without making your own independent assessment of the valuation of a vehicle. You should consult other third-party sources of information in determining the valuation of a vehicle. We will not be liable to you or anyone else who relies on the information available on our Site or the information (including but not limited to vehicle valuations) generated by the Services.

Your consumer rights

These Terms are subject to consumer protection laws and regulations including the Australian Consumer Law as set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)).

You can find out more about your consumer rights from consumer organisations and bodies such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and Australian State/ Territory fair trading authorities.

If these Terms are governed by the Australian Consumer Law, you may have certain consumer rights under that legislation. Subject to your consumer rights, and in addition to the “limitation of liability” section below, we are not liable

  1. for any loss that was not reasonably foreseeable to us; and
  2. to the extent that your loss was contributed to by you or any other matter outside our reasonable control.
