FEES

Our Fees

Our Platform is made available free of charge to users wishing to browse our Platform, however, any transactions carried out on our Platform will be subject to the following fees (“Fees”), which are payable to us prior to the completion of a transaction:

(a) a commission of 1% +VAT, calculated on the total purchase price of the vehicle being sold (“Commission”) shall be charged to private Sellers; and

(b) a platform fee of £50 +VAT (“Platform Fee”) shall be charged to both private Sellers and Buyers.

Both (a) Commission and (b) Platform Fee shall together form the Fees that are payable to us.

VAT is charged on our Fees at the current rate in force at the time. If the rate of VAT changes, we shall adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

Example of how our Fees work:

Customer A agrees to sell a car to Customer B for £10,000.

Customer A would be charged 1% Commission +VAT (20%) and a Platform Fee of £50 +VAT, which comes to a total of £180.

Customer B would also need to pay the Platform Fee of £50 +VAT (20%).

We reserve the right to adjust our Fees. Our most current Fees shall always be communicated to you as part of a Payment Summary before a transaction is concluded by you. If you do not accept our Fees, you can choose not to proceed with the transaction. Accepted methods for payment shall be set out on our Platform as determined by our payment provider.

Important Fee Conditions relating to your use of our Platform

If you are a private Seller or a Buyer, you acknowledge and agree that the following conditions apply to your use of our Platform:

  • you will communicate with other users of our Platform exclusively using the chat function on our Platform. This helps us to keep a full record of all communications in relation to any transaction in case there are any disputes;
  • payment of the Fees shall be payable to us prior to us disclosing details of the other party in order for you to complete the transaction. Any attempt to avoid paying the Fees to us (for example, by attempting to obtain the other party’s details directly), will be considered a material breach of these Terms and would be actionable by us;
  • our Fees will be charged to you once you have accepted the Payment Summary which sets out how our Fees are calculated; and
  • our Fees are non-refundable once we have disclosed the other party’s details to you irrespective of whether you decide to proceed with the proposed transaction or not and irrespective of whether the price for the vehicle is renegotiated (for a price more or less than the price originally stated in the Payment Summary).

Purchase Fees

Fees payable to a Seller for the purchase (or swap) of vehicles listed on our Platform and any additional charges, such as delivery charges and tax (if applicable), will be agreed by and paid directly between the Buyer and the Seller. Such fees will be displayed to both the Buyer and Seller as a Payment Summary which shall be accepted by both the Buyer and Seller.

It is important to note that acceptance of the Payment Summary is not a binding agreement between the Buyer and Seller for the purchase or swap of the vehicle named in the Payment Summary. A binding contract is only formed once a purchase agreement has been signed by the parties or the parties have

otherwise reached such other agreement between themselves. Until such time, the vehicle remains the property of the Seller and either party has the right to walk away from the sale or renegotiate the sale price or terms. 

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The role of We Swap is to provide a Platform that connects Sellers and Buyers for them to enter into a purchase agreement relating to the sale and purchase of vehicles advertised on our Platform (“Purchase Agreement”).

A Purchase Agreement is concluded outside of our Platform directly between Sellers and Buyers. We Swap is not a party to any Purchase Agreement and therefore we are not responsible to you under or in connection with it.

Buyers are strongly advised to conduct their own due diligence in relation to the proposed transaction before entering into a Purchase Agreement with a Seller and completing the purchase.  

We Swap does not make any representations, warranties or conditions in relation to any Purchase Agreement, and you enter into any such Purchase Agreement at your own risk. We Swap shall have no liability to you whatsoever in relation to any claim you may have against a Buyer or Seller (as applicable) relating to the purchase or sale of a vehicle listed on our Platform. Any issues, disputes or proceedings that may arise in relation to a transaction or a Purchase Agreement should be brought directly against the Buyer or Seller (as applicable).

You must deal promptly and professionally with any questions from Buyers about orders using the chat function on our Platform.

You must deal with complaints we tell you about, and any complaints you receive directly from Buyer, in a way that complies with consumer law. Please see the Trading Standards advice on online selling at www.businesscompanion.info and honour any additional commitments or guarantees you’ve made in your listing or other marketing or advertising.

YOUR USE OF OUR BRANDING

You may publicise your listings on our Platform outside our Platform, for example, on social media. In doing so you must take care not to in any way suggest that you or your listings are endorsed, controlled or created by us. You can share the URLs for your listings and state that your Vehicles can be bought on the We Swap Platform. However, you can’t use the We Swap stylised name or logos either on their own or in combination with another word or use the We Swap name in your social media profile name or photo. You also can’t create content with the same look or feel as that of We Swap.

Once these Terms have ended, you must remove any content that suggests you sell on our Platform from any places you control and use your best efforts to remove such content from any places owned by any third parties. We Swap reserves the right to remove any content that remains on our Platform once these Terms have ended. 

SUSPENSION, ENDING THESE TERMS AND DISPUTES

We can suspend or restrict any individual listing you make on our Platform if we become aware, or have reason to believe, that what you’ve said in your listing is not true or up to date, does not comply with these Terms or is otherwise unlawful.

We can end these Terms and your rights to use our Platform for any of the following reasons:

  • You’ve not complied with these Terms, including the policies referred to in them and your non-compliance is more than trivial or is repeated;
  • We reasonably consider that our continuing to provide our Platform and services to you could expose We Swap to disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule, or would tend to shock, insult or offend the public or reflect unfavourably on our reputation or the other Sellers selling on our Platform;
  • We decide to stop providing our Platform.

We’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice that we are ending these Terms with you unless:

  • Our legal, tax or regulatory obligations require us to end these Terms without such notice.

CLAIMS AND ACTIONS AGAINST US IN CONNECTION WITH YOU OR YOUR VEHICLES

Dealing with claims against us

We’ll pass on to you any complaints we receive about you or your listing as described in How you must handle Buyer complaints. However, if anyone, including (but not limited to) a Buyer, any regulator, HMRC, couriers or any third-party rights holder, makes a claim or takes any kind of action against us in connection with:

  • Your Vehicle, their importation to the UK and their supply through our Platform;
  • Content you’ve uploaded to or otherwise distributed through Our Platform, including but not limited to your profile, your Vehicle listings, your communications with Buyers, advertising, and any omissions or inaccuracies in such content;
  • Things we have or haven’t done in reliance on information you’ve provided (or omitted to provide) to us, including our exercise of rights you’ve granted to us; or
  • Things you have or haven’t done including but not limited to committing any breach of these Terms and our policies

(a Third-party claim), then you must, at our option and as we request, either help us defend or deal with the Third-party claim or defend or deal with it on our behalf, in each case at your own expense. If we ask you to defend or deal with a claim on our behalf, you must get our prior written agreement before settling or compromising it or attempting to do so.
