Service Agreement For Business Users

About us

This Agreement is made between you and the service provider named in the Offer (“Service Provider”, “we”, “us” and “our”). You hereby confirm and agree with us that we shall handle the transfer, resale and/or recycling of your car (“Services”) subject to these terms and conditions (“Service Agreement”) following your acceptance of the Offer under the Charity Car Agreement (“Website Terms”) entered into with CarTakeBack.com Limited (“CarTakeBack”) under the Charity Car Scheme.

The Charity Car Scheme is a car donation scheme managed by CarTakeBack who will pass on the proceeds received from the disposal of your car (“Donation”) to the charity you have chosen to be the recipient of your Donation.

Our agent, CarTakeBack, is not a party to the Service Agreement and is not liable for any breach of it by either you or us.

1. These terms

1.1. These are the terms and conditions on which we supply the Services to you. By entering into the Charity Car Terms, you agree to accept these terms and conditions.

1.2. We shall have the right to make any changes to the Services which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirement, or which do not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services, and we shall notify you in any such event.

1.3. We are the Service Provider. You can contact us by telephoning or by writing to us using the contact details set out in the Offer made by CarTakeBack under the Charity Car Terms.

1.4. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to CarTakeBack. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.

2. Our contract with you

2.1. We will inspect your car to make sure the Assumptions under the Offer are correct.

2.2. The contract for the supply of the Services in accordance with these terms will come into existence when you tell us that you would like us to provide you with the Services.

2.3. By entering into this contract you agree to hand over your car to us free of charge (by which we mean without payment of money or, without limit, any other consideration) and for the avoidance of doubt, there will be no monetary payment, credit or otherwise made to you in addition to or in place of the Donation, by us.

2.4. If we are unable to provide the Services, we will inform you of this. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for.

3. Other applicable terms

3.1. The Website Terms tell you the terms of use on which you may make use of the site CharityCar.co.uk, in order to make the Donation under the Charity Car Scheme.

3.2. The Cookie Policy sets out information about the cookies used on the site CharityCar.co.uk.

3.3. The Privacy Policy sets out how your personal information, including its transfer to third parties, is used and collected on the site CharityCar.co.uk.

4. Your obligations

4.1. You shall at the time you enter into this Service Agreement and at the time the Services are performed:

4.1.1. the statements and representations made by you are correct and accurate;

4.1.2. you have the legal and beneficial right to dispose of your car and are able to enter into the Service Agreement;

4.1.3. you have the right, power and authority and have taken all action necessary to execute and deliver and to exercise your rights and perform your obligations under the Service Agreement;

4.1.4. your car bears its proper Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration mark, and it does not have a personalised registration that you wish to retain;

4.1.5. the odometer reading (mileage) of your car is, to the best of your knowledge, accurate and has not been tampered with;

4.1.6. your car is free of all finance charges, such as a hire purchase or loan agreement;

4.1.7. you have been given a reasonable opportunity to remove any personal possessions from your car; and

4.1.8. we have been given a reasonable opportunity to examine your car and confirm that its condition and location are as stated by you at the time you entered into the Service Agreement.

4.2. If our performance of the Services under this Service Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by you or failure by you to perform your obligations set out in clause 4.1:

4.2.1. we shall without limiting our other rights or remedies have the right to suspend performance of the Services until you remedy your default, and to rely on your default to relieve us from the performance of any of our obligations to the extent that your default prevents or delays our performance of any of our obligations;

4.2.2. we may terminate the Service Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to you;

4.2.3. we shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by you arising directly or indirectly from our failure or delay to perform any of our obligations as set out in this clause 4.2; and

4.2.4. you shall reimburse us on written demand for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by us arising directly or indirectly from your default.

5. Services

5.1. The Services we supply after the transfer of your car to us may include one of the following options (depending on the condition of your car and its location):

5.1.1. its resale to a third party which may result in the return of your car to the road (“Resale”); or

5.1.2. the recycling of your car (“Disposal”).

These options may include the offer of having your car collected (or alternatively you may have chosen to drop your car off) which you will have selected when you accepted the Offer under the Charity Car Terms.

5.2. We shall use all reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified in the Offer, but any such dates shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for performance of the Services.

5.3. We warrant to you that the Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill.

5.4. If you do not allow us access to your property to collect your car and perform the Services as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may charge you for the costs incurred by us as a result. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property we may end the contract and clause 12 will apply.

5.5. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the Services to you. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 12 will apply) or may charge you a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the Services late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

5.6. We may have to suspend the supply of the Services to:

5.6.1. deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

5.6.2. update the Services to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

5.6.3. make changes to the Services as requested by you or notified by us to you.

5.7. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the Services, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract for the Services if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 7 days.

6. Verification

6.3. We may contact you using the contact details you have provided, to verify or request additional information about your car and its condition.

6.4. You acknowledge and agree that we may undertake checks using the information you have provided.

6.5. We may carry out an inspection of your car to verify that it meets the description and condition that you specified. In some circumstances, we may need to take a test drive of your car with you.

6.6. If, at any point, we become aware of anything that affects the details on which the Offer under the Charity Car Terms is based, then the Offer will be void.

7.5. You warrant to us that the mileage reading on your car is, to the best of your knowledge and belief, true and accurate and that the odometer has not been tampered with.

11.2. Where your car is to be sold at auction, you acknowledge and agree that:

11.2.1. we have no control over (nor shall we be liable for) the level of proceeds which may be obtained for your car.

11.2.2. it is your responsibility to notify DVLA of the sale/transfer to the motor trade by promptly sending the yellow section 9 (V5C/3) of the V5C registration certificate to DVLA.

11.3. Where your car is to be recycled, you should retain the yellow section 9 (V5C/3) of the V5C registration certificate and we will apply to DVLA for a certificate of destruction. In the event that it is not possible to issue a certificate of destruction, either at all or within DVLA’s advised timescales, we shall use all reasonable endeavours to notify you. In this case, it will be your responsibility to notify DVLA.
