APPLICABILITY

These Terms apply to all users, accounts, and vehicle listings activated on or after March 01, 2026.

Listings activated prior to this date remain governed by the terms in effect at the time of activation unless otherwise agreed in writing by Atoban. Nothing in these Terms retroactively modifies prior agreements.

─────────────────────────────────────────

RELATIONSHIP TO SERVICE AGREEMENT

Managed vehicle listings are governed by Atoban's Service Agreement in effect at the time of listing activation. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Service Agreement, the Service Agreement controls with respect to listing-related matters. These Terms govern general platform use.

─────────────────────────────────────────

NATURE OF THE SERVICE

Atoban provides managed private-sale representation for vehicle sellers. We handle pricing, advertising, buyer communication, negotiation, and closing guidance on your behalf so you receive the highest possible private-market sale price without dealing with strangers or the selling process yourself.

Atoban is not:

  • A licensed motor vehicle dealer

  • A broker or auctioneer

  • A lender or escrow provider

  • A buyer of vehicles

Atoban does not:

  • Purchase, own, or take possession of any vehicle

  • Physically inspect vehicles

  • Guarantee a sale, price, or timeframe

  • Provide legal, tax, or financial advice

All vehicle transactions occur directly between private buyers and sellers. Atoban facilitates the process but is not a party to the transaction.

Atoban uses AI-assisted tools to manage communications and buyer inquiries. These tools act on your behalf and are designed to protect your privacy at all times.

─────────────────────────────────────────

LISTING MANAGEMENT

Atoban actively manages listings for the period specified in the applicable Service Agreement. During this period, Atoban may recommend pricing adjustments based on real-time market data and may modify marketing strategy to improve results.
