1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the CARS app and its services. By downloading the app, browsing, or creating an account, you agree to be bound by these terms and any future updates we publish. If you do not agree, please stop using the app.
2. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or enter into a transaction. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your login credentials confidential, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. Your phone number is verified once by OTP at signup, and you are responsible for all activity under your account.
3. Listings and Content
You may only list vehicles or services that you own or are legally authorized to sell. Listings must be accurate, use real photos of the actual vehicle, and comply with applicable law. We may review, reject, or remove any listing that is misleading, duplicated, prohibited, or in violation of these terms.
4. Buying and Selling
CARS is a marketplace that connects buyers with sellers, showrooms, and service providers. We are not a party to any transaction and do not own, inspect, or guarantee any vehicle or service listed. Always inspect a vehicle in person, verify its documents and ownership, and meet in safe public locations before paying.
5. Fees and Payments
Publishing a listing as an individual seller requires a one-time listing fee paid by bank transfer; your listing goes live after our team verifies the payment receipt. Fees are non-refundable once a listing has been approved and published, except where required by law.
6. Business Memberships
Showrooms and service providers need an active membership to publish. Paid memberships become active after our team confirms the payment; voucher-based memberships activate instantly. Membership periods are not paused or extended for account inactivity.
7. Communication and Chat
In-app chat is provided for genuine buying and selling conversations. Do not use it for spam, harassment, unsolicited advertising, or moving users to fraudulent channels. We may review reported conversations to investigate abuse and enforce these terms.
8. Prohibited Conduct
You may not: list stolen, damage-concealed, or encumbered vehicles without disclosure; misrepresent price, mileage, or condition; impersonate others; interfere with the app's operation; scrape data; or use the platform for any unlawful purpose.
9. Intellectual Property
The CARS name, logo, design, and software are our property. By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and promote it within the platform. You retain ownership of your content.
10. Disclaimer and Liability
The app is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, CARS is not liable for losses arising from transactions between users, listing inaccuracies, or service interruptions.
11. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or permanently close accounts that violate these terms, applicable law, or the safety of our community — with or without notice. You may delete your account at any time from Settings.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the app, and continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Iraq, including the applicable laws of the Kurdistan Region. Any dispute arising from your use of the app or a transaction facilitated through it will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Iraq. Where possible we will try to resolve complaints informally through the Support Center first. Nothing in these terms removes any mandatory consumer rights you have under local law.
