EAMA carry out a basic check on each vehicle to check that it is not stolen, we are reliant on that information and as a 3rd party, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies -  EAMA do not check for insurance write off's and therefore we are unable to advise as to whether a vehicle has been involved in a previous accident - Bidders should make their own investigations where a vehicles insurance history is critical.

However, it's important to note that any such delivery service is entirely separate from the contract for the purchase of the goods. EAMA Group does not offer insurance coverage for potential loss or damage that may occur during transport. Consequently, in the event of loss or damage during delivery, EAMA Group assumes no liability, and no refunds will be provided for any aspect of the order.

• 26. On arrival, buyers will be required to provide suitable identification, and request a porter to collect the goods.

• 27. Goods must be collected punctually to avoid the loss of your items with no refund. If specific collection dates are explicitly stated in the listing description, these dates are considered fixed, and no flexibility is allowed. Buyers are required to strictly adhere to these specified dates, as any failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of purchased goods without the possibility of a refund. In the absence of specified dates, a delivery quote or a mutually agreed-upon collection date will be determined following payment on the lot. In the event that the item remains uncollected on this agreed-upon date or the delivery quote is not paid, a 3-day grace period will be granted. Beyond this grace period, a 5% daily charge of the full order value will be imposed for late collection, and the goods will only be released upon payment of these charges. If a buyer does not collect the items within 20 days, they will be classified as abandoned, and neither the goods nor a refund will be provided.
