Effective date: July 6, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Auto City Sales & Leasing (“Auto City,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the website located at autocitysale.com (the “Site”), any offer request you submit, and any resulting transaction in which you sell a vehicle to Auto City. By accessing or using the Site, submitting vehicle or contact information, or otherwise engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Site.
Auto City operates an online platform through which vehicle owners may request an estimated cash offer for their vehicle, schedule an in-person or video inspection, and, if a final offer is accepted, sell their vehicle to Auto City. Auto City is a vehicle purchaser. Auto City does not sell vehicles to consumers through this Site, and does not provide financing, leasing, insurance, or brokerage services to Site visitors.
You must be at least 18 years old, a resident of the United States, and the legal, registered owner of the vehicle — or a person expressly authorized in writing by the legal owner — to submit a vehicle for an offer or to complete a sale. By submitting vehicle or personal information, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) all information you provide is true, accurate, and complete; (c) you have full legal right, title, and authority to sell the vehicle described, free of any undisclosed lien, encumbrance, or ownership interest of a third party except as expressly disclosed to Auto City; and (d) the vehicle has not been declared a total loss, salvage, or flood vehicle except as expressly disclosed to Auto City prior to any final offer.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and your vehicle, including but not limited to license plate, state of registration, VIN, year, make, model, trim, mileage, condition, accident history, and lienholder information. Auto City is not responsible for delays, offer adjustments, or transaction cancellations resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information you provide. In connection with any completed sale, you agree to furnish a true and accurate written odometer disclosure statement as required by the federal Truth in Mileage Act (49 U.S.C. § 32705) and California Vehicle Code § 5901, and you acknowledge that providing a false odometer statement may subject you to civil and criminal liability under federal and California law.
You are solely responsible for maintaining valid vehicle registration and for resolving any parking citations, toll violations, or similar obligations attributable to the vehicle prior to the effective date of transfer. Upon completion of a sale, Auto City will process the required California DMV title transfer documentation. As between you and Auto City, you remain responsible for timely filing a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (California DMV REG 138) with the California Department of Motor Vehicles within five (5) days of the sale, as required by California Vehicle Code § 5602, unless Auto City expressly agrees in writing to file this notice on your behalf. Auto City is not responsible for citations, tolls, or liability arising from acts occurring after the vehicle is picked up if the delay in title transfer is attributable to incomplete or inaccurate information you provided.
Payment for an accepted, final offer will be made by cashier’s check, wire transfer, or ACH direct deposit, as selected and agreed at the time of sale. Ownership and all risk of loss for the vehicle transfer to Auto City only upon completion of all required paperwork — including a signed bill of sale, odometer disclosure statement, and, where applicable, a properly endorsed certificate of title or authorized lien-payoff documentation — and confirmed receipt of funds or a completed payment instrument by the seller. Until that point, the vehicle and all associated risk remain your responsibility.
By submitting your contact information through the Site or otherwise providing it to Auto City, you expressly consent to receive communications from Auto City, its agents, and its service providers by telephone call, SMS/text message, and email at the phone number(s) and email address(es) you provide, including through the use of automatic telephone dialing systems, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, and automated text platforms, for purposes including but not limited to providing your offer, scheduling inspections, servicing your transaction, and related account communications, consistent with the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227) and applicable California law. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency may vary. Consent to receive autodialed or automated calls and texts is not a condition of any purchase or offer. You may revoke consent to text messages at any time by replying “STOP” to any message, and may revoke consent to calls by informing our representative during any call or by contacting us using the information in Section 21. You may be placed on Auto City’s internal do-not-call list upon request.
California is a two-party (all-party) consent state under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 632). Auto City or its service providers may monitor or record telephone calls with you for quality assurance, training, dispute resolution, and compliance purposes. Where a call is recorded, you will be notified of the recording at the outset of the call, and your continued participation in the call after such notice constitutes your consent to the recording.
You agree not to: (a) submit false, misleading, stolen, or fraudulent vehicle, title, lien, or identity information; (b) impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with, or authority to sell, any vehicle; (c) use the Site for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law or regulation; (d) attempt to interfere with, disrupt, disable, overburden, or gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any connected network or system; (e) use any automated means (bots, scrapers, or similar technology) to access the Site without our prior written consent; or (f) attempt to circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Site.
All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio and video clips, and the Auto City name, marks, and logos, is the property of Auto City Sales & Leasing or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to view and use the Site for its intended purpose, no license or right is granted to you, and you may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works from Site content without our prior written permission.
The Site may reference, integrate, or link to third-party services (for example, vehicle valuation tools, mapping services, analytics providers, or payment processors). Auto City does not control, endorse, or assume any responsibility for the content, accuracy, security practices, or terms of any third-party service, and your use of any such service is at your own risk and subject to that third party’s own terms and privacy policy.
THE SITE, AND ANY ESTIMATE, VALUATION, OR OTHER CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH IT, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. AUTO CITY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY ONLINE OR PHONE ESTIMATE WILL MATCH THE FINAL, BINDING OFFER MADE FOLLOWING PHYSICAL OR VIDEO INSPECTION. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS ANY WARRANTY OR RIGHT THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED OR WAIVED UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, INCLUDING THE CONSUMERS LEGAL REMEDIES ACT (CAL. CIV. CODE § 1750 ET SEQ.).
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL AUTO CITY SALES & LEASING, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF AUTO CITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT ANY LIABILITY IS NOT VALIDLY DISCLAIMED, AUTO CITY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY AUTO CITY TO YOU IN THE TRANSACTION GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Auto City Sales & Leasing and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your submission of false, misleading, or fraudulent information; (c) your lack of legal authority or title to sell a vehicle you submit; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.
Agreement to Arbitrate. Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, you and Auto City agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any transaction between you and Auto City shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS or the American Arbitration Association under its consumer arbitration rules then in effect, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.
Class Action & Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND AUTO CITY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR PERMITTED COURT PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class action waiver provision by sending written notice to the email address in Section 21 within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, neither you nor Auto City will be bound by this Section 16, and disputes will instead be resolved as set forth in Section 17.
These Terms, and any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 16 (including any properly opted-out dispute), are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Orange County, California.
Auto City shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, war, terrorism, riot, labor dispute, governmental action, pandemic, or failure of telecommunications or utility services.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver. Auto City’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. Auto City may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any signed bill of sale or transaction-specific documents, constitute the entire agreement between you and Auto City regarding the Site and any transaction, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings on that subject.
Electronic Communications & Signatures. You agree that any bill of sale, disclosure, or agreement Auto City provides electronically satisfies any legal requirement that such communication be in writing, and that your electronic signature or acceptance is valid and binding to the same extent as a handwritten signature, consistent with the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and the California Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1633.1 et seq.).
Auto City may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Effective date” above and, where required by law, communicated to you directly. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms; if you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Site.
