Terms of Use

Updated 10/1/24

1. Introduction

Welcome to DealNow! We provide the only end-to-end transactional marketplace for private-party vehicles. Please carefully read through these terms and conditions (“Terms”), because it is a binding agreement between our website visitors, users, mobile and web application end users, current and potential customers, clients, our potential and actual employees, contractors, and other business partners (“you” or “your”) and Private Auto, Inc. dba DealNow (“DealNow,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). These Terms, together with any registration form and our Privacy Policy constitute the “Agreement.” The Agreement is effective when you sign up or otherwise use any of the Services or access any content or material that is made available by DealNow through the Services (the “Content”).

The term “Services” includes all software, mobile and web applications, widgets, tools, and functionality made available through the Services, including our platform and any help desk system, connectivity API’s, related support services, and business relationship services. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new features or products, including those that require additional fees, are also included in the term “Services.” All “Ancillary Services” is included in the term “Services” as well. If you have a separate agreement with us and the provisions of that separate agreement conflict with the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of that separate agreement control.

These Terms discuss how we operate our Services and your rights and use of the Services. Read through this document to understand the legal issues related to listing your vehicle and related intellectual property issues, and also the requirements and limitations on listing your car for sale. Basically, don’t be dishonest in any way, ok? We’re providing our Services for a community, and you are a part of that community.

At DealNow, we value your privacy and trust above all. Please be assured that we do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to others. The data you provide is used primarily for the purpose of enhancing your experience on our Services and facilitating the private buying and selling of vehicles. For more detailed information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

By using the Services, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by the Agreement. If you do not want to agree to the Agreement, then you must not access or use the Services. THE COMPANY IS NOT AN AUTOMOBILE BROKER OR DEALER AND DOES NOT SELL, EXCHANGE, BUY, OR OFFER FOR SALE, NEGOTIATE OR ATTEMPT TO NEGOTIATE, A SALE OR EXCHANGE OF AN INTEREST IN ANY VEHICLE LISTED FOR SALE ON THE SERVICES.

Although the Company is not a party to any vehicle sale contract between vehicle buyers and sellers that originates on or through the Services, the Company may offer other ancillary products and services including, but not limited to, vehicle financing, service contracts, banking relationships (including but not limited to providing instructions to banking institutions about where the transaction proceeds should be sent), vehicle registration services, and mechanical breakdown insurance (“Ancillary Services”). Included in “Ancillary Services” are the Title Transfer Services detailed and controlled by the terms outlined on Addendum 1. Not all Ancillary Services are available in every state. We have the unrestricted right to sub-contract or assign the performance/fulfillment of any of the Ancillary Services we offer to third party providers of our choice. Because the Company is not directly involved in any transaction between a vehicle buyer and seller, it does not hold any funds, transfer funds, or authorize the transfer of any funds related to any transaction; provided, however, that Company may provide instructions to banking institutions about where the transaction proceeds should be sent. All financial transfers and authorizations between a vehicle buyer and seller that originates through the Services is conducted by third-party financial institutions.

You acknowledge that seller of the vehicle and not Company is the sole seller of record of the vehicle, and that Company’s activities, including provision of any Ancillary Services, are undertaken solely to assist buyer and seller in facilitating the sale of such vehicle. Except for the limited purpose described herein, you acknowledge that Company is not your agent and nothing in the Agreement can be construed to the contrary. You acknowledge that Company is not a party to any agreement between any buyer and any seller and you are directly responsible for any and all breaches or other liabilities occurring in connection with the sale of any vehicle.


The Services are offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older and who reside in the United States. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Services.

You authorize your wireless carrier to use or disclose information about your account and your wireless device, if available, to DealNow or its service provider for the duration of your business relationship, solely to help them identify you or your wireless device and to prevent fraud. See our Privacy Policy for how we treat your data.

2. Vehicle Pricing; Listing Your Vehicle; Payment of Fees

Information about a particular vehicle is supplied by the seller, not by the Company. The price and other terms of any sale are arranged after negotiation between the buyer and the seller, and the Company is not responsible for incorrect information given by buyers or sellers, including but not limited to information regarding vehicles, vehicle mileage, condition, history, or photos of vehicles. Vehicle reports from various companies may be provided for informational purposes only from an unaffiliated third-party vehicle report provider, and the Company is not responsible for any incorrect information or mistakes. We cannot verify the information or photos that sellers supply or guarantee the vehicles they offer. When using the Services to buy or sell a vehicle, please use common sense and good judgment. When dealing with prospective buyers or sellers, you should take the same precautions you would take if you were purchasing or selling a car through a classified ad in the newspaper.

THE COMPANY MAKES NO GUARANTEES, WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING ANY VEHICLES LISTED FOR SALE ON THE SERVICES. VEHICLE SALES ARE BETWEEN THE BUYER AND THE SELLER ONLY, AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT OWN, INSPECT, BUY OR SELL ANY VEHICLES LISTED FOR SALE ON THE SERVICES. YOU HEREBY RELEASE AND WAIVE ANY CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY RELATED TO THE ACCURACY OF ANY INFORMATION POSTED BY A BUYER, SELLER, OR OTHER THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES.

Vehicle Pricing

The prices listed by sellers on the Services exclude government fees and taxes, finance charges, registration and titling fees, regulatory and electronic processing charges, inspection charges, emission testing charges, and any other fees required by law, any or all of which may be added to the listed price to arrive at the final sale price of a particular vehicle.

Listing Your Vehicle

To list a vehicle for sale on the Services, sellers shall provide certain identifying and contact information. The information must accurately identify the seller and the method of contact must permit buyers to communicate directly with the seller. You may not charge any potential buyer for information about any vehicle listed for sale on the Services, nor may you use the Services to promote, without our prior written permission, any other website, product, or service. Sellers must be prepared to sell their vehicles on the terms, and at the price, such vehicles are listed. You must have possession of the actual vehicle listed on the Services and the proper authority to transfer title to such vehicle. In order to list a vehicle for sale on the Services, a seller must be the registered owner of the vehicle being listed for sale or be able to provide a power of attorney authorizing the seller to sign documents necessary to transfer the vehicle and pay any outstanding lien(s) on behalf of the registered owner.

Each listing may be used to advertise only one vehicle, regardless of a listing’s duration. For this reason, you cannot edit your vehicle’s year, make, model, or VIN once you have “listed” your car on the Services. You shall ensure that all information is accurate before listing your vehicle. The Company reserves the right (but assumes no obligation) to delete, move, or edit any listings that we consider unacceptable or inappropriate, whether for legal or other reasons. You may not list any unrelated information or keywords (including multiple items, brands, makes, models or locations) in the content of your listing as a means to generate unwarranted search results or to circumvent any other term or condition. Except as authorized by the Company in writing you must wait at least fourteen (14) days before reposting a listing for the same or substantially similar goods. Violators may, among other remedies available to the Company, have their accounts suspended or permanently banned. Contact the Company for information about available refresh packages.

After the seller and buyer have agreed to buy or sell a listed vehicle and the terms are agreed upon, then fees may be incurred by buyer and seller in the event Ancillary Services are accessed. If buyer and seller have opted to use DealNow’s Title Transfer Services, the terms of Addendum 1 control such services. 

If buyer and seller have opted to use DealNow’s Ancillary Services for banking relationships, including DealNow’s FBO account services: (a) buyer and seller acknowledge that it could take up to two (2) business days for funds to clear and be deposited into seller’s account; (b) buyer shall ensure that funds exceeding the agreed upon purchase amount are deposited into buyer’s FBO account at least two (2) days before buyer and seller close the transaction; and (c) buyer shall indemnify and hold DealNow harmless for any claims arising out of or related to buyer’s failure to provide sufficient funds for a transaction or for any funds clawed back from a seller during a transaction.

Fees

When you sign up using a credit card or other payment method, you authorize us to make the charges disclosed to you at the time you sign up, including recurring payments, implementation fees, or per transaction fees, where applicable.

To use the payment functionality within the Services, you shall open an account with Dwolla, Inc. (“Dwolla Account”) and accept the Dwolla Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Any funds held in or transferred through your Dwolla Account are held or transferred by Dwolla’s financial institution partners. You must be at least 18 years old to create a Dwolla Account. You authorize us to process and transfer to Dwolla your personal information including but not limited to your full name, date of birth, social security number, physical address, email address, and financial information. You shall ensure that all such information is accurate and complete at all times. You acknowledge and consent to access and manage your Dwolla Account through our Services and Dwolla account notifications will be sent by us, not Dwolla. We will provide customer support for your Dwolla Account activity at support.dealnow.com, support@dealnow,com, or 801-251-6046.

3. Changes to the Terms 

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in governing law and jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or prior to the date the change is posted on the Services.

Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance and agreement to the changes. You are expected to check this page frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

4. Accessing the Services and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services, and any service or material we provide on the Services, in our sole discretion without notice.

You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services or portions of it using your username, password or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security.
