What is nolemons/No Lemons?

Fees

At this time it is free to use the Website but certain aspects of the Services will require that you pay us fees (as set forth below). If you decide to use these paid aspects of the Services, you agree to the terms set forth below, as we may amend them from time to time. We reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services in the future. We will notify you before any Services (other than those set forth below) you are then using begin carrying a fee, and if you wish to continue using such Services, you must pay all applicable fees for such Services.

Seller’s Fee -- There is a 2% success fee to list a vehicle for sale.
Buyer’s Fee -- If you are the winning bidder for a car, you shall pay us a fee (a “Buyer’s Fee”) equal to 5% of the winning bid amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each winning bid utilizing the Services, the minimum Buyer’s Fee is AED 1,000 (approximately $272 USD as of March 2022) and the maximum Buyer’s Fee is $5,000 (as of March 2022).
All Buyer’s Fees are non-refundable. When you place a bid on a vehicle, we will place a hold on your credit card in an amount up to that fee. We will remove all such holds (except the hold on the winning Bidder’s credit card) after the auction is completed. The hold on the winning Bidder’s credit card will be charged as payment for the Buyer’s Fee immediately after the auction listing ends.

You must pay all fees and applicable taxes associated with use of our Services by the payment due date (including, without limitation, any fees incurred in connection with the use of our third party payment processor, Stripe). Stripe’s terms of service can be found here.

All information that you provide in connection with a purchase must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by any use of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method in connection with a sale/purchase on the Website at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You also agree to pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any sale/purchase. All purchases made from using the Website and/or Services are between the applicable Buyer and Seller; for that reason, in the event you seek a refund related to a purchase or have any questions regarding your purchase, you must directly contact the applicable Seller.

How the Auction Works

Reserve and Publication

In order to use the Services to list a vehicle, a Seller is required to indicate whether there is a minimum price at which the Seller is willing to consider a sale to a Bidder (the “Reserve”) or whether no such minimum bid is required (“No Reserve”). A Seller may reduce or waive a Reserve during the auction by notifying nolemons/No Lemons of such change via email or, if available, nolemons/No Lemons’s web-based notification tools made available to Seller. Nolemons/No Lemons will only approve a listing for publication on the Website once a Seller has either selected a Reserve or selected “No Reserve” for the applicable listing.

Seller Acknowledgment

If a user submits a vehicle for sale on the Website, and we accept such vehicle, then user is considered a “Seller” on the Website. As a Seller, you are responsible in all respects for the Content you submit and any other information related to any vehicle you offer for sale. You are also fully responsible in all respects for consummating the transaction with the applicable winning Bidder in accordance with the Agreement. SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT FOLLOWING PUBLICATION AND FOR THE PERIOD THAT SUCH SELLER’S LISTING IS MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, SUCH SELLER MAY NOT LIST, POST OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE THE APPLICABLE VEHICLE ON ANY OTHER AUCTION, DEALERSHIP, OR LISTING SERVICE. FURTHERMORE, EACH SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT AT ANY TIME FOLLOWING PUBLICATION, SELLER’S LISTING MAY BE REMOVED BY nolemons/No Lemons (IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION).

Bidder Acknowledgment

Each Bidder acknowledges and agrees that each bid submitted is binding and cannot be amended or corrected, even if submitted in error. Each Bidder further acknowledges and agrees that any bid submitted for a vehicle will remain active until the conclusion of the applicable auction unless the bid is outbid. In the event a Bidder’s bid is the highest bid (and meets any applicable Reserve), then the Bidder is obligated to purchase the applicable vehicle from the Seller, subject to the terms of the Agreement. In the event a Bidder does not consummate the transaction with the applicable Seller for any reason (other than the sole default of such Seller), then nolemons/No Lemons reserves the right to (a) charge Bidder’s credit card for an amount equal to the Buyer’s Fee or (b) suspend or terminate Bidder’s account.
