Privacy Policy Deemed To Be Included

These Terms and our CRG Companies Privacy Policy contain important information about your rights and obligations in Using the Site as well as the rights, obligations, and limitations of CRG Companies.

The terms of the CRG Companies Privacy Policy are deemed to be incorporated into these Terms and form part of the legally binding agreement between you and CRG Companies.

Limitations of Use

By Using the Site, you warrant on your behalf and that of anyone or anything you are representing, that you will not:

  • Change, modify, copy, prepare derivative works of, deconstruct, or reverse engineer any materials, software, function or any aspect of components of, nor any software accessed through, the Site (the "Materials");
  • Use, copy, change or remove any copyright or other proprietary signs, marks or notations on or relating to the Materials;
  • Transfer any Materials, or any parts of Materials, from the Site to another person, place or entity, nor duplicate in any way the Materials;
  • Use the Site in any way that harms, abuses or disrupts CRG Companies, its business, networks or services or the Site;
  • Use the Site or an aspect of it to transmit, publish or in any way communicate or convey any harassing, indecent, obscene, fraudulent, or unlawful information or material;
  • Use the Site in violation of any applicable laws or regulations;
  • Use the Site for any unintended way, nor in any way to advertise or spam CRG Companies or any third party;
  • Copy, collect, reproduce, duplicate or gather user data from the Site without any user's explicit consent; or
  • Use the Site in any way that does or may infringe upon the privacy, intellectual property rights, or other rights of third parties.

You shall be, at all times, solely responsible for any breach of the provisions of these Terms by yourself and anyone or entity whom you have authorized to use the Site.

Listings and Seller Conduct

If you list a vehicle or other item for sale on the Site, you represent and warrant that the listing is accurate and that you are the legal owner of the vehicle, or an authorized agent of the legal owner, and that the vehicle is genuine, owned stock that is actually available for sale at the stated price.

Listing vehicles that you do not own or hold as your own available stock is prohibited and violates these Terms. This includes, by way of example and without limitation, re-listing or reposting inventory sourced from third-party platforms, wholesalers, exporters, or auction channels (such as Goo-net listings, wholesaler listings, or auction-sourced inventory) that is not your own stock actually available for sale.

User-submitted listings automatically expire 90 days after they are published and cannot be renewed. This expiry is by design. We adopted it after observing that some sellers kept expired or no-longer-available vehicles in circulation in order to attract and then divert buyers who inquired toward a different vehicle or transaction (a "bait-and-switch"). This practice misleads buyers and violates these Terms.

You shall not use any listing, listing inquiry, or related communication to misrepresent the availability, condition, ownership, or price of a vehicle, to divert a prospective buyer to a different vehicle or to an off-Site transaction under false pretenses, or otherwise to deceive buyers. CRG Companies may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without notice, remove, hide, decline to renew, or expire any listing, and may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Site, where it believes these Terms have been or may be breached.

Automated Access, Scraping, and Data Mining

The Site, including all vehicle listings, descriptions, photographs, specifications, asking prices, sold-price and market data, and any compilation, aggregation, or derivative of the foregoing (collectively, the "Site Data"), is made available to you for your own personal, non-commercial use only, subject to these Terms. The Site Data is a substantial investment of CRG Companies and is protected as described in the Intellectual Property and Data sections below.

Without CRG Companies' express prior written consent, you shall not:

  • Use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, site search/retrieval application, headless browser, or any other automated or manual means or process to access, retrieve, index, copy, harvest, "scrape," "data mine," or otherwise gather, monitor, or extract any Site Data or other Materials, or to reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Site;
  • Systematically retrieve, download, store, cache, or reproduce Site Data or Materials, whether to build or populate a collection, database, directory, index, or any other compilation, or otherwise;
  • Copy, collect, reproduce, duplicate, aggregate, resell, redistribute, republish, or make any commercial use of any vehicle listings, descriptions, photographs, prices, sold data, or market data, in whole or in part;
  • Copy, collect, reproduce, or compile the Site Data in bulk into any database, directory, dataset, or other product, service, or offering that reproduces, competes with, or substitutes for the Site or a material part of the Site Data;
  • Frame, mirror, or otherwise incorporate any portion of the Site or Site Data into any product, service, application, or other offering;
  • Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any technical measure, rate limit, access control, authentication, or robots.txt directive that CRG Companies uses to manage, secure, or restrict access to the Site; or
  • Access or use the Site or Site Data in any manner that exceeds the limited license granted in these Terms, or in any way that places an unreasonable or disproportionate load on the Site's infrastructure.

Permitted crawling. Nothing in this section restricts a search engine or AI-answer service from crawling, indexing, caching, and citing the Site to the extent expressly permitted by the Site's robots.txt and llms.txt files. CRG Companies welcomes good-faith crawling that helps people discover, and that attributes traffic and citations back to, the Site. The prohibitions above are directed at the unauthorized harvesting, reproduction, redistribution, or commercial exploitation of the Site Data — including the harvesting of seller or user contact information — and at any access that ignores or circumvents the Site's published crawling rules, rate limits, or access controls.

Operating or directing any automated agent against the Site, or accessing the Site after your access has been restricted, constitutes unauthorized access. CRG Companies reserves the right, in addition to any other remedy and in its sole and absolute discretion, to take any technical, legal, or other action it deems necessary, with or without notice — including blocking, throttling, rate-limiting, or terminating your access, and pursuing civil or criminal remedies — to prevent and address any violation of this section.
