These terms and conditions are a contract between you, the paying customer, and Martin Autoworks LLC. By visiting our website at www.martinautoworksllc.com, calling or emailing to schedule an inspection with Martin Autoworks LLC, you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions. The rights and obligations to the information contained in the inspection provided by Martin Autoworks LLC are specifically for you solely and entirely. This agreement and the information it contains will become null and void if sold or transferred to another party as a means providing an inspection of a vehicle. You must be at least 18 years old to order an inspection with Martin Autoworks LLC.

1. Nature of Martin Autoworks LLC Inspections

When you enter into an agreement to have an inspection performed by Martin Autoworks LLC, you are hiring us to evaluate the overall condition of the designated vehicle, based on what our inspectors can subjectively observe. Martin Autoworks LLC’s service is a visual inspection of all reasonably accessible items. Vehicles can suffer from issues or problems that may not be observable during a typical inspection, and therefore may not be noted. Some vehicles may require disassembly to perform some services or checks as requested by you. In these cases, special arrangements will be made outside of a Standard or Hot-Rod agreement. The owner of the vehicle will be required to give written consent to allow dismantling of any part of the vehicle to have the operation performed by Martin Autoworks LLC. The Martin Autoworks LLC inspector will attempt to start, perform system checks and test drive the vehicle, but if this is not feasible, the checks and test drive will not be performed. While as much of the designated inspection will be completed as possible, sometimes forces beyond our control will keep us from completing every section of the inspection. No discounts are given if we for reasons beyond our control are not allowed to complete our inspection. Once the inspection is completed, you will receive a document detailing our report, along with a package of photographs of the vehicle.

2. Martin Autoworks LLC’s Service is Limited to Inspection

Martin Autoworks LLC performs inspection services only. Unless stated plainly before an inspection is scheduled, Martin Autoworks LLC is not affiliated with the seller of the vehicle and does not take a position on whether you should, or should not, purchase the vehicle. Martin Autoworks LLC does not verify that the seller has the legal right to sell the vehicle in any state, or that the vehicle is legal to operate in any state. It is up to the customer to ensure that vehicle in question is legal for them to own, register and operate in their chosen state. Martin Autoworks LLC is not responsible for knowing the law of a chosen state or for translating, interpreting, or explaining laws pertaining to operating motor vehicles in any state or country. Martin Autoworks LLC is not responsible for any representations made by the seller or any other party to the prospective buyer or to anyone.

3. A vehicle Inspection Is Not An Insurance Policy or Warranty

An inspection does not act as a warranty or as an insurance policy for any vehicle. You acknowledge and agree that if you purchase any vehicle inspected by Martin Autoworks LLC, you are fully responsible for all costs for repairs and maintenance needed on said vehicle at any time, whether they are noted in an inspection report. You acknowledge and agree that the decision to purchase any vehicle remains your own responsibility and that you are responsible for determining whether a vehicle is under warranty or properly insured.

4. Vehicle Remains "As Is"

Because the vehicle being inspected is a "used" vehicle, you agree that, even after inspection, you will be purchasing the vehicle in an "as is" condition, unless otherwise warranted by the seller. Because a vehicle's condition may change between the time the inspection is conducted and the actual purchase of the vehicle, we recommend having the inspection completed as close in time to the purchase as possible. The Martin Autoworks LLC report is not a substitute for any safety or emissions inspection that may be required by applicable state laws. You acknowledge and agree that the Martin Autoworks LLC inspection does create any warranty for any vehicle. You understand that a used vehicle can have or begin to experience issues that cannot be observed or foreseen with an inspection and that Martin Autoworks LLC is not held liable for issues that occur with the vehicle at any time before, during or after inspection.

5. Factors Affecting Inspections

Martin Autoworks LLC inspections may be affected by weather and light conditions, as well as the cleanliness of the vehicle, both inside and out, at the time of the inspection. Many external factors, beyond our control, can reduce the accuracy of the inspection, making things such as repainting and body work difficult to detect with the naked eye. For the most accurate inspection report, the vehicle must be clean and dry. The inspection should be able to take place in a well-lit location. However, Martin Autoworks LLC does not agree to take any steps or actions affecting the vehicle's condition at the time of the inspection. Martin Autoworks LLC strongly suggests that you contact the seller and make all necessary accommodations to ensure that the vehicle is as clean as possible and available in a suitable location for an inspection. Martin Autoworks LLC is not responsible for cleaning the vehicle in any capacity. Damages sustained to the finish of the vehicle from removal of dirt and debris etc. necessary to complete an inspection, such as scratches or paint chipping, are not the responsibility of Martin Autoworks LLC.

6. Resolution of Disputes - Arbitration

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these terms and conditions, or the breach thereof, or any disputes or claims relating to inspections provided by Martin Autoworks LLC must be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial [or other] Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

7. Litigation, Applicable Law, and Waivers

9. Cancellation and Refunds

Martin Autoworks LLC, in its sole discretion, maintains the ability to cancel the inspection or task to be performed either indefinitely or until it can be rescheduled when circumstances are not preventing our best work from being accomplished.

11. Refund Policy after Inspection Report

If you believe there are inaccuracies in the inspection report, you must submit them to us (emailed to info@martinautoworksllc.com) within seven (7) days for consideration of a refund. You must include pictures and specific details addressing the issue(s) to be considered for a refund.
