Terms & Conditions

Agreement

By using japanautosearch.com and our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.

Vehicle Listings

All vehicles listed are sold "as inspected, where is." Prices, specifications and availability are subject to change without notice. We endeavour to ensure photos and descriptions are accurate; minor variations may occur. Auction grade and inspection sheets are provided in good faith.

Pricing & Payment

All prices are quoted FOB Yokohama in Japanese Yen (or other currency as displayed) and exclude freight, marine insurance, and destination-country duties unless otherwise stated. A 20% deposit confirms a vehicle reservation; the balance must clear before the vehicle is loaded onto the shipping vessel. Accepted payment methods: T/T, L/C, PayPal, and Stripe (limits apply).

Shipping & Risk

Risk transfers to the buyer once the vehicle is loaded onto the vessel at Yokohama. We strongly recommend marine insurance — we can arrange this on your behalf at cost. Shipping schedules and transit times are estimates and not guaranteed.

Cancellation & Refunds

Deposits are refundable minus any third-party fees already incurred (auction commission, JEVIC inspection, port charges) up to 7 days after payment. After the vehicle is loaded, cancellations are not possible.

Destination-Country Compliance

It is the buyer's responsibility to confirm import eligibility, age limits, emission standards and inspection requirements in their destination country before purchase. We provide guidance but do not assume responsibility for changes in destination-country regulations.

Liability

Our liability is limited to the FOB purchase price of the vehicle. We are not liable for indirect, consequential or incidental damages, lost profits, or delays caused by shipping lines, customs authorities, or force majeure events.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the courts of Yokohama, Japan.
