Terms of Service
Effective Date: January 1, 2024 (last updated October 15, 2025)
Welcome to Atoban.com (the "Website," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our Website and services, you (the "User" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use our Website or services.
1. Website Use
- 
Advertising Platform: Atoban.com is a digital advertising and marketing platform designed to help you sell your vehicle. We are not a dealership, broker, or party to any vehicle transaction. We do not purchase, sell, inspect, store, or take ownership of vehicles.
 - 
User Accounts: Certain features require you to create an account. You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information at all times, including contact and payment details.
 
2. Vehicle Acceptance Policy
To maintain marketplace quality and protect both buyers and sellers:
- 
Vehicle must have a clear, marketable title (clean or salvage accepted if repaired and in safe, drivable condition).
 - 
Vehicle must be running and in sellable condition. We do not accept non-running “junk” vehicles, cars with severe structural damage, or missing major components.
 - 
All vehicle details, mileage, and condition must be accurate and truthful. Misrepresentation may result in removal of your listing and a $99 misuse fee.
 - 
Asking price must be within a reasonable range of market value as determined by Atoban’s pricing research and AI tools.
 - 
Atoban reserves the right to decline or remove any listing at any time.
 
3. Fees & Payments
Current Listings (grandfathered under old pricing):
- 
If you created your listing prior to October 15, 2025, your original success fee agreement applies (e.g., 5% with minimum $399, maximum $1,499).
 
New Listings (created on or after October 15, 2025):

A valid credit card must be kept on file. By listing, you authorize Atoban to securely store and automatically charge this card on the day of sale.
 - 
All fees (success fees, upfront fees, add-ons, and late fees) are final and non-refundable.

⚠️ Important: Atoban is not responsible for, and will not become involved in, any disputes, claims, fraud, warranties, or damages between buyers and sellers.
5. No Guarantee of Sale
Atoban does not guarantee a sale, a specific price, or timeframe. Results depend on market demand and buyer interest.
6. Chargeback & Misuse Policy

If you dispute a valid success fee and Atoban prevails, you agree to reimburse processor fees plus a 3% admin fee.
