TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Updated: September 19, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Carmuvo.com and the vehicle valuation, offer, purchasing, pickup, and related services provided by Carmuvo** (“Carmuvo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing Carmuvo.com, requesting an offer, submitting vehicle or personal information, accepting an offer, scheduling a pickup, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use our services.
1. About Carmuvo
Carmuvo is a Washington licensed motor vehicle dealer.
Carmuvo provides a service that allows vehicle owners to submit information about a vehicle, obtain an offer, and potentially sell the vehicle to Carmuvo.
Receiving or accepting an online offer does not by itself transfer ownership of your vehicle or complete a sale.
2. Eligibility to Sell
To sell a vehicle to Carmuvo, you must:
- be at least 18 years old;
- have legal authority to sell the vehicle;
- be the legal owner or otherwise have legally sufficient authority to transfer ownership; and
- provide any identification, title, registration, lien, odometer, ownership, or other documents reasonably required to complete the transaction.
If there are multiple registered or legal owners, Carmuvo may require all necessary owners to participate in the transaction and sign required documents.
Carmuvo may decline to purchase any vehicle when ownership or authority to sell cannot be satisfactorily verified.
3. Information You Provide
Our offer depends substantially on the information you provide.
You agree to provide information that is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge, including information regarding:
- vehicle identification number (VIN);
- year, make, model, and trim;
- mileage and odometer status;
- title type and title status;
- registered and legal ownership;
- liens or loans;
- whether the vehicle starts;
- whether the vehicle drives;
- mechanical condition;
- warning lights or known mechanical problems;
- accident history and current body damage;
- flood or fire damage;
- missing components;
- wheels and tires;
- keys;
- vehicle location;
- photographs, when requested; and
- any other information reasonably requested to evaluate or purchase the vehicle.
You should answer Carmuvo's condition questions to the best of your knowledge.
4. Carmuvo Offers
A Carmuvo offer is calculated using information you provide and may also use vehicle, market, valuation, history, and other data available to Carmuvo.
Unless otherwise stated, an offer is valid for 7 days from the date it is issued.
An offer is for the vehicle described in the offer and cannot be transferred to another vehicle.
The offer assumes that the information used to calculate it is materially accurate.
An online offer does not constitute a completed purchase. A sale is completed only after Carmuvo has completed any required verification, the required transaction documents have been executed, and Carmuvo accepts the vehicle for purchase.
5. Inspection and Verification
Before completing a purchase, Carmuvo or an authorized representative may inspect or verify the vehicle and information submitted by the seller.
Verification may include, without limitation:
- VIN;
- mileage;
- odometer status;
- title status;
- ownership;
- lien information;
- vehicle history;
- vehicle identity and trim;
- whether the vehicle starts and drives;
- mechanical condition;
- body and accident damage;
- flood or fire damage;
- missing components;
- wheels and tires;
- keys; and
- other material characteristics affecting the vehicle's value or our ability to purchase it.
Carmuvo may use photographs, physical inspection, vehicle-history information, government records, market information, valuation providers, and other commercially available information where permitted by law.
6. Changes to an Offer
Normal wear or minor differences in condition will not necessarily cause an offer to change.
However, Carmuvo may recalculate, reduce, or withdraw an offer before the purchase is completed if the vehicle or transaction materially differs from the information used to calculate the offer.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
- materially incorrect mileage;
- incorrect VIN, year, make, model, or trim;
- undisclosed title brands or title problems;
- undisclosed liens or ownership interests;
- significant undisclosed body or accident damage;
- a vehicle represented as running that does not start;
- a vehicle represented as driving that cannot be driven;
- flood or fire damage;
- missing major components;
- missing catalytic converters, wheels, tires, engine components, or other material equipment;
- materially inaccurate vehicle photographs or descriptions; or
- other material discrepancies affecting value or transferability.
If Carmuvo changes an offer, you may accept or decline the revised offer.
You are not required to sell your vehicle merely because you requested, received, or initially accepted an online offer.
7. Pricing, Market Data, and Technical Errors
Carmuvo offers may be based partly on information from third-party vehicle, market, valuation, VIN-decoding, vehicle-history, and other data providers.
Market information can be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate.
Carmuvo does not guarantee that an offer represents the vehicle's retail value, wholesale value, trade-in value, private-party value, auction value, or the highest price available from another purchaser.
If an offer is materially affected by an obvious technical, software, calculation, VIN-decoding, third-party data, typographical, or similar error, Carmuvo may correct or withdraw the erroneous offer before the purchase is completed.
8. Vehicle Condition
Carmuvo may purchase vehicles in many conditions, including older, high-mileage, damaged, mechanically defective, and non-running vehicles.
Whether Carmuvo will purchase a particular vehicle and the amount offered are determined at Carmuvo's discretion based on factors that may include vehicle condition, market demand, title status, mileage, repair requirements, transportation costs, expected resale value, and other factors.
Prior accident history and current unrepaired physical damage are not necessarily treated the same when determining an offer.
9. Titles and Ownership
You must accurately disclose the vehicle's title and ownership status.
Depending on the transaction, Carmuvo may purchase vehicles with clean, rebuilt, salvage, or other title types at its discretion.
You agree to disclose all known liens, loans, security interests, and ownership claims affecting the vehicle.
Carmuvo may decline a transaction if ownership cannot be verified or if acceptable title documentation cannot be obtained.
10. Loans and Liens
Carmuvo may purchase a vehicle that has an outstanding loan or lien when the lien can be satisfactorily verified and resolved as part of the transaction.
Carmuvo may require a payoff statement or other documentation from the lender or lienholder.
If the amount owed exceeds Carmuvo's purchase price, the seller may be required to pay the difference before or as part of completing the transaction.
Carmuvo may decline a transaction involving a lien that cannot reasonably be verified, paid, released, or otherwise resolved.
11. Odometer Disclosure
You agree to provide the vehicle's mileage and odometer status accurately to the best of your knowledge and to complete any odometer disclosure required by applicable law.
Carmuvo may revise or withdraw an offer if the mileage or odometer status materially differs from the information submitted.
12. Documents and Cooperation
You agree to provide and execute documents reasonably required to legally complete the vehicle purchase and transfer ownership.
Depending on the transaction, these may include title documents, bills of sale, odometer disclosures, lien-related documents, powers of attorney, identification, or other documents required by law or reasonably necessary to complete the transfer.
13. Payment
The purchase price and payment method will be confirmed as part of the transaction.
Payment may be conditioned upon satisfactory verification of:
- identity;
- ownership;
- title;
- mileage;
- vehicle condition;
- lien status; and
- required transaction documents.
Carmuvo may delay completion or payment when reasonably necessary to resolve an ownership, title, lien, documentation, fraud-prevention, or similar issue.
14. Vehicle Pickup and Towing
Carmuvo may provide or arrange vehicle pickup or towing for qualifying transactions within its service area.
When Carmuvo represents ordinary pickup as free, the seller will not be charged an ordinary pickup fee for the agreed pickup.
Pickup timing may depend on location, vehicle condition, weather, carrier availability, accessibility, and towing requirements.
The seller must make the vehicle reasonably accessible for pickup and disclose circumstances that could require unusual equipment or services.
Examples may include:
- a vehicle located in a parking garage or restricted-access area;
- a vehicle blocked by other vehicles;
- missing wheels or tires;
- locked steering;
- inaccessible keys;
- unusual vehicle size or weight;
- difficult terrain; or
- other conditions affecting safe removal.
Scheduling a pickup does not by itself complete the sale or transfer ownership.
15. Personal Property
You are responsible for removing your personal property from the vehicle before surrendering it.
This may include:
- personal documents;
- electronic devices;
- toll passes;
- garage-door openers;
- child seats;
- tools;
- personal identification;
- aftermarket removable accessories; and
- other belongings.
After the vehicle has been surrendered, Carmuvo is not responsible for personal property left in the vehicle except to the extent required by applicable law.
16. Seller Representations
By completing a sale to Carmuvo, you represent, to the best of your knowledge, that:
- you have legal authority to sell the vehicle;
- the ownership information you provided is materially accurate;
- known liens and ownership interests have been disclosed;
- the vehicle is not stolen;
- the VIN has not been unlawfully altered;
- known title-brand information has been disclosed;
- the mileage and odometer information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge; and
- you are legally permitted to transfer the vehicle.
17. Cancellation or Refusal of Transaction
You may decline to proceed before the vehicle sale is completed.
Carmuvo may decline or cancel a proposed transaction before completion when, among other reasons:
- vehicle information cannot be verified;
- ownership cannot be verified;
- title or lien problems arise;
- material vehicle information is inaccurate;
- the vehicle materially differs from its submitted description;
- fraud or unauthorized activity is reasonably suspected;
- required documentation cannot be obtained; or
- the transaction cannot legally or operationally be completed.
18. Electronic Communications
By providing contact information, you authorize Carmuvo to contact you regarding your vehicle, offer, transaction, pickup, documentation, or customer-service request through the contact methods you provide, subject to applicable law.
These communications may include telephone calls, emails, or text messages.
Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of selling a vehicle to Carmuvo.
Where required, marketing communications will be sent only with appropriate consent, and applicable opt-out methods will be provided.
Message and data rates may apply to text messages depending on your mobile plan.
