1. About CarEireann
CarEireann is an online marketplace that connects private car sellers and dealers with potential buyers in Ireland. We are a platform provider, not a car dealer.

2. Listings
Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy of their listings. CarEireann does not verify the condition, ownership, NCT status or mileage of any vehicle. We recommend all buyers obtain a Motorcheck report before purchasing.

3. Our role
CarEireann is a platform only. We are not a party to any transaction between buyers and sellers. Any dispute arising from a sale is between the buyer and seller directly.

4. Prohibited listings
You may not list stolen vehicles, vehicles with outstanding finance (without disclosure), vehicles not roadworthy, or any vehicle you do not have the right to sell.

5. Removal of listings
We reserve the right to remove any listing at our discretion without notice, including listings that are inaccurate, fraudulent or in breach of these terms.

6. Fees
Private listings are currently free. Dealer subscriptions are charged monthly. All prices include VAT where applicable. Fees are non-refundable once a listing period has started.

7. Limitation of liability
CarEireann is not liable for any loss arising from a transaction between users of the platform, inaccurate listing information, or reliance on information provided by sellers.

8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
