Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 15, 2026 Welcome to China Car Export Intel. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the China Car Export Intel website, vehicle listings, automotive information, inquiry services, seller features, and other related services provided through this website. By accessing or using China Car Export Intel, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to comply with them. If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the website.

1. About China Car Export Intel

China Car Export Intel is an automotive information and vehicle sourcing website focused primarily on vehicles available from China and related vehicle export information. The website may provide services including:

Used vehicle listings;
Vehicle specifications and photographs;
Vehicle sourcing information;
Vehicle export information;
Buyer inquiries and quotation requests;
Communication between buyers and vehicle sellers;
Automotive news and articles;
Seller or dealer profiles;
Vehicle publishing services;
User accounts and related website features.

Certain functions may be introduced, changed, suspended, or removed as the website develops.

2. Nature of the Website

Unless expressly stated otherwise for a specific service, China Car Export Intel primarily provides an information, listing, sourcing, and communication service. A vehicle displayed on the website may be supplied by an independent vehicle dealer, exporter, business, or other authorized seller. China Car Export Intel does not automatically become the owner, seller, exporter, importer, freight carrier, insurer, or buyer of a vehicle merely because the vehicle is displayed on the website. Where a transaction is conducted directly between a buyer and an independent seller, those parties are responsible for confirming and agreeing on the final transaction terms.

3. Vehicle Information

We make reasonable efforts to present useful and accurate vehicle information. However, used vehicles are individual products whose mileage, condition, configuration, availability, price, ownership status, maintenance history, and other characteristics may change or may differ from information originally supplied. Vehicle information displayed on the website may include information supplied by:

Vehicle dealers;
Vehicle owners;
Export companies;
Vehicle documentation;
Manufacturers;
Third-party databases;
Other automotive information sources.

Unless specifically verified and guaranteed in writing as part of a transaction, China Car Export Intel does not guarantee that every vehicle specification or listing detail is complete, current, or error-free. Before purchasing a vehicle, buyers should independently confirm all information that is important to their purchasing decision.

4. Used Vehicle Condition

Vehicles displayed on China Car Export Intel may be used vehicles. Normal wear, cosmetic imperfections, previous repairs, replaced components, age-related deterioration, or other conditions may exist depending on the individual vehicle. Photographs and descriptions are intended to provide useful information but may not reveal every aspect of a vehicle’s condition. Where necessary, buyers should request additional photographs, video, inspection information, vehicle documentation, or an independent vehicle inspection before completing a purchase.

5. Vehicle Photographs

Vehicle photographs should reasonably represent the vehicle being offered. Some photographs may be processed for website presentation purposes, including:

Cropping;
Resizing;
Compression;
File-format conversion;
Background cleanup or replacement;
Removal of unrelated surrounding objects;
Other presentation adjustments.

Such processing should not intentionally misrepresent the actual vehicle condition, configuration, equipment, visible damage, or material characteristics. Vehicle sellers are responsible for ensuring that photographs and other visual materials they submit correspond to the vehicle being advertised.

6. Prices and Availability

Vehicle prices and availability may change without prior notice. Prices displayed on China Car Export Intel may represent:

Vehicle selling prices;
Reference prices;
Export prices;
FOB quotations;
CIF quotations;
Promotional prices;
Seller-provided prices;
Other indicative quotations.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a displayed price should not automatically be interpreted as the total final cost of purchasing and importing a vehicle. Additional costs may include:

Inland transportation;
Export handling;
Port charges;
Freight;
Marine insurance;
Customs duties;
Import taxes;
Inspection fees;
Registration fees;
Destination-country charges;
Other transaction or logistics costs.

Information published on China Car Export Intel concerning such requirements is provided for general informational purposes unless expressly stated otherwise. Buyers and sellers remain responsible for confirming current legal, customs, tax, registration, and regulatory requirements applicable to their transaction.

8. Vehicle Inquiries

Users may submit inquiries through forms, email, WhatsApp, or other communication methods available through the website. When submitting a vehicle inquiry, users should provide accurate contact details and genuine purchasing requirements. An inquiry does not create a binding purchase agreement. Receiving a quotation does not guarantee:

Vehicle availability;
Reservation of the vehicle;
Acceptance of an order;
Final transaction price;
Shipping availability;
Import eligibility.

Final terms must be confirmed separately between the relevant parties.

9. Communication With Sellers

China Car Export Intel may facilitate communication between buyers and vehicle sellers. When a buyer requests information about a vehicle, relevant inquiry information may be forwarded to the seller or service provider responsible for that vehicle. Users should exercise reasonable care when communicating or conducting transactions with third parties. Before making significant payments or entering into a transaction, users should verify relevant information concerning the seller, vehicle, payment instructions, and transaction documents.
