INFINITE VEHICLE SALES LTD – RETAIL & TRADE VEHICLE TERMS

Infinite Vehicle Sales Ltd operates from Alfreton (Derbyshire) and Sutton-in-Ashfield (Nottinghamshire), offering both retail-prepared vehicles and trade vehicles sold through our Dutch auction system.

We operate two distinct sales channels:
• Retail Vehicles (Green) – Fully prepared for sale and supplied with warranty.
• Trade Vehicles (Amber & Red) – Sold as seen through our Dutch auction, strictly on trade terms.

Each vehicle both onsite and online displays a clear colour-coded sticker so buyers can immediately understand its preparation level, warranty status, and sale terms.

Dutch Auction – How It Works

A Dutch auction begins at a fixed starting price which reduces in controlled increments until a buyer accepts it.

Example:
A vehicle may begin at £6,000. If unsold, the price may reduce to £5,000.
The first buyer to accept the displayed price secures the vehicle.

Why buyers like this system
• Transparent
• No bidding wars
• Everyone sees the same price
• Buyers decide when the vehicle becomes good value

Dutch auctions are widely used for trade disposal and are considered one of the fairest ways to sell unprepared or clearance vehicles.

• Viewings are by appointment during opening hours; purchases must be completed within these hours.

Legal Notice

In accordance with UK Trading Standards and auction law:
• Any vehicle displaying an Amber or Red trade sticker is sold as seen, on trade terms only.
• The sales invoice will clearly outline all trade terms.
• Buyers must read and sign a Trade Sale Invoice & Terms and Conditions before completing a trade purchase.
• Implied terms under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and Consumer Rights Act 2015 do not apply to Dutch auction trade sales.
• Under Section 2 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, buyers of second-hand goods at public or trade auctions—where inspection was offered—are not classed as consumers.
• Therefore, standard consumer protections (refunds, repairs, right to reject, etc.) do not apply.
• All sales are final once the vehicle leaves our premises.

⸻

Returns Policy

By completing a purchase under trade terms, the buyer agrees that:
• No refunds, returns, or exchanges will be accepted once the vehicle leaves the premises.
• In exceptional circumstances where a return is accepted at our discretion, return fees apply (as listed on the Trade Terms form).

⸻

Warranty Disclaimer – Amber Vehicles

Some Amber vehicles may include a complimentary third-party warranty.

Important Information:
• Amber vehicles remain sold as seen, under trade terms.
• Any complimentary warranty is provided by an independent warranty company, not Infinite Vehicle Sales Ltd.
• All claims, assessments, and enquiries must be made directly with the warranty provider.
• Infinite Vehicle Sales Ltd accepts no responsibility for claim outcomes.
• Buyers must comply with the warranty company’s terms (e.g. servicing, claim procedures).
• A complimentary warranty does not alter the trade sale classification or imply preparation.

UNROADWORTHY AND DEFECTIVE VEHICLES

The Buyer agrees that if a Vehicle:

is in such a condition (whether by reason of its construction, the state of its brakes, steering, tyres, lighting equipment, reflectors or other parts) that it is unroadworthy or cannot otherwise be used lawfully on a road; and/or does not have a valid Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency MOT test certificate or plating document or any other document required by law, then the Buyer will not use the Vehicle on any road or remove it under its own power from the place at which it is located at the time of the Auction until it is roadworthy, can be used lawfully on the road and has all necessary documents.
