These terms and conditions form a contract between us and you for your access and use of the Valuation Platform (“Valuation Terms”).
If you do not agree to these Valuation Terms, you must not use or access the Valuation Platform.
We reserve the right to amend these Valuation Terms from time to time without giving specific notice to you. We will publish the amended Valuation Terms on the Valuation Platform.
You should periodically review the Valuation Terms and, if you do not agree with any of the changes, you must cease using or accessing the Valuation Platform. By continuing to use the Valuation Platform, you will be deemed to have accepted the changes to the Valuation Terms.

you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Valuation Terms; and

you have attained the legal age to sell a vehicle in your applicable jurisdiction;
you are located in Australia;
any information that you submit (including all information about the Pre-Owned Vehicle, your name, contact number, email address and address) is truthful and accurate; and
your use of the Valuation Platform and associated services does not violate any applicable laws or regulations.
You are responsible for your own internet connection, telecommunications and data costs when accessing and using the Valuation Platform.
