4. Vehicle Listings and Transactions
CarSkios provides an online platform to connect vehicle buyers and sellers, including private sellers and licensed automobile dealers operating across Canada. The information about vehicles listed on this Site is supplied by the seller or other third parties. CarSkios is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any vehicle listing information.
CarSkios is not a party to any transaction between vehicle buyers and sellers that originates from information found on this Site. We do not buy, sell, own, or hold title to any vehicle listed on our platform. Any transaction you enter into with a seller is solely between you and that seller.
Listed prices do not include additional fees and charges, such as:
● Applicable federal and provincial taxes (including GST/HST and QST where applicable);
● Title, registration, and licensing fees;
● Licence plate fees;
● Finance charges and interest;
● Dealer document preparation fees;
● Emissions testing or safety inspection fees; and
● Any other fees or charges imposed by the seller, lender, or applicable government authority.
CarSkios encourages you to exercise caution and good judgment when communicating with sellers and entering into vehicle transactions. Verify the accuracy of all listing information, including the vehicle identification number (VIN), independently before completing any purchase. CarSkios does not endorse or verify any vehicle listings, and we cannot guarantee that any listing is accurate or that the person submitting or responding to a listing is acting in good faith.
