1Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to FREEBID.IN (“FREEBID”, “Platform”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of the FREEBID website and its marketplace features, including vehicle listings, auctions, enquiries, and rental opportunities.

By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms, subject to applicable law.

If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Platform.

2Nature of Our Services

FREEBID operates an online marketplace that helps users discover vehicles, publish listings, submit auction bids, and connect with other marketplace participants.

FREEBID does not ordinarily act as the buyer, seller, vehicle owner, rental provider, payment processor, or party to transactions independently negotiated between users.

Vehicle descriptions, prices, availability, ownership claims, and other listing information are generally supplied by the users who publish them.

FREEBID does not guarantee that a listed vehicle will be sold, purchased, rented, or available on particular terms.

Independent Marketplace Notice

FREEBID is an intermediary platform connecting independent buyers, sellers, and rental providers. We do not take physical custody of vehicles, execute ownership transfers, or broker transactions.

3User Eligibility and Accounts

Users must meet applicable legal requirements to use the relevant services.

Where a transaction requires legal capacity, a valid driving licence, regulatory permission, or other qualification, the participating users are responsible for satisfying those requirements.

Users agree to:

  • Provide accurate account information.
  • Maintain the confidentiality of login credentials.
  • Complete the required email or phone verification process.
  • Keep account details reasonably up to date.
  • Avoid impersonating another person or organization.
  • Notify FREEBID of suspected unauthorized account activity.
Scope of Account Verification

Basic email or phone verification does not constitute comprehensive identity verification, background screening, or confirmation of a user's reliability. Users must conduct their own due diligence prior to completing transactions.

4Vehicle Listings

Users publishing vehicle listings are responsible for ensuring that their content is accurate, lawful, and not misleading.

Sellers should provide relevant information about vehicle specifications, ownership, condition, known defects, registration status, and applicable restrictions.

Users must not knowingly publish:

  • False or misleading vehicle information.
  • Listings for stolen or unlawfully possessed vehicles.
  • Fraudulent ownership or registration claims.
  • Images or descriptions they are not authorized to use.
  • Duplicate or deceptive listings intended to manipulate users.
  • Listings that violate applicable laws or third-party rights.

FREEBID may review, restrict, or remove listings in accordance with its moderation policies and applicable law.

Publication of a listing does not mean FREEBID has independently inspected or approved the vehicle.

5Vehicle Auctions and Bidding

Core Auction Rules

FREEBID may allow users to submit bids on vehicles offered through its auction features.

5.1Nature of Bids

A bid submitted through FREEBID is a non-binding expression of interest.

Submitting a bid does not, by itself, create a binding purchase agreement or obligation to transfer ownership.

5.2Auction Outcomes

The highest bid displayed at the conclusion of an auction does not automatically guarantee a completed sale.

The seller and interested bidder must independently agree on the final price and transaction conditions.

5.3Seller Decisions

Subject to applicable law and any specifically disclosed auction conditions, sellers may decide whether to proceed with an interested bidder.

5.4Transaction Completion

Any subsequent purchase agreement, inspection, payment, registration transfer, or delivery arrangement takes place directly between the relevant parties.

5.5Prohibited Bidding Conduct

Users must not engage in fraudulent bidding, artificial price manipulation, coordinated deceptive bidding, or other conduct intended to mislead marketplace participants.

FREEBID may restrict suspicious auction activity or accounts where reasonably necessary and permitted by law.

Summary of Auction Process for Buyers & Sellers

Auction bids on FREEBID establish interest and rank potential buyers. Neither the bidder nor the seller is legally obligated by the platform to complete a vehicle sale. Parties must conduct inspections, negotiate final terms, and complete registration paperwork independently.

6Direct Vehicle Sales

FREEBID provides tools for users to discover listings and contact sellers.

Buyers and sellers are responsible for independently agreeing on:

  • Final purchase price.
  • Vehicle inspection and condition.
  • Payment method and timing.
  • Ownership and registration documents.
  • Applicable taxes and government charges.
  • Delivery or collection arrangements.
  • Any warranties or contractual conditions.

Users should retain written evidence of important agreements and transactions.

7Vehicle Rentals

Rental Guidelines

FREEBID may display rental listings published by vehicle owners or rental businesses.

Unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular service, rental agreements are entered into directly between the rental provider and renter.

The parties are responsible for agreeing on rental duration, price, deposit, cancellation conditions, permitted use, insurance, vehicle condition, and return requirements.

Rental providers are responsible for ensuring that their vehicles and rental activities comply with applicable licensing, permit, insurance, and other legal requirements.

Renters are responsible for satisfying applicable driving licence, age, eligibility, and lawful-use requirements.

Rental Availability & Condition Disclaimer:

FREEBID does not independently guarantee rental availability, vehicle condition, insurance coverage, or performance of a rental agreement.

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12Intellectual Property

The FREEBID name, website design, branding, software, and original platform materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Users may contact support to raise concerns about moderation decisions.

Applicable grievance and appeal procedures will be provided where legally required.

14Third-Party Services

The Platform may link to third-party websites or services.

FREEBID does not control their independent operations or contractual terms.

Users should review the applicable terms and privacy policies before using external services.

We aim to provide a reliable marketplace experience, but uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed.

Services may be affected by maintenance, technical failures, network interruptions, or other circumstances.

Features may change over time, subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements.

16Disputes Between Users

Buyers, sellers, bidders, and rental providers are responsible for resolving disagreements arising from their independently negotiated transactions.

FREEBID may review reports of suspected platform misuse but does not automatically become a party to an underlying vehicle transaction.

Users retain any rights to pursue complaints or remedies under applicable consumer protection and other laws.

17Disclaimers and Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, FREEBID provides marketplace services without guaranteeing the accuracy of third-party listings, successful transactions, vehicle condition, or the performance of independent users.
