Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 31 May 2025
1. About MotorDeal
MotorDeal ("we", "us", "our") is an online marketplace operated at www.motordeal.gr that enables private individuals to list and find vehicles for sale, and enables parts dealers to advertise their inventory. MotorDeal is a technology platform only. We are not a party to any transaction between buyers and sellers, and we do not buy, sell, inspect, or guarantee any vehicle or part listed on the platform.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the MotorDeal website, mobile interface, and all associated services. By creating an account or using the platform in any capacity, you accept these Terms in full.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use MotorDeal. By registering, you confirm that you are 18 or older and that the information you provide is accurate and complete. MotorDeal reserves the right to terminate accounts of users who misrepresent their age or identity.
3. Account Registration
3.1 You must create an account to post listings, contact sellers, or access certain features. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
3.2 You must not share your account with any other person, create multiple accounts, or create an account on behalf of another person without their express authorisation.
3.3 You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you suspect unauthorised access, you must notify us immediately at legal@motordeal.gr.
3.4 MotorDeal reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate any account at any time and without notice if we reasonably believe a breach of these Terms has occurred.
4. Listings — Vehicles
4.1 You may only list vehicles that you legally own or have the legal authority to sell.
4.2 All listing information must be accurate and complete — including mileage, condition, accident history, previous ownership, and any defects known to the seller. Deliberately false or misleading listings are strictly prohibited and may result in permanent account suspension and referral to relevant authorities.
4.3 You must not list stolen vehicles, vehicles with outstanding finance, vehicles with cloned plates, or vehicles that are subject to any legal encumbrance.
4.4 Mileage fraud — knowingly listing inaccurate odometer readings — is a criminal offence under Greek law. MotorDeal will cooperate fully with any law enforcement investigation into mileage fraud.
4.5 Prices must be stated in Euro (€). Listings may not be used to conduct auction-style sales unless using the platform's designated Boost/Bump feature.
4.6 Only one listing per vehicle is permitted. Duplicate listings for the same vehicle will be removed.
4.7 MotorDeal does not verify listing accuracy. Buyers are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence before purchasing any vehicle. MotorDeal strongly recommends independent inspection, KTEO verification, and title search before any purchase.
5. Listings — Parts (Dealer Subscriptions)
5.1 Parts listings are available to approved dealer accounts only. Dealers must hold a valid dealer subscription (Basic or Featured) to list parts.
5.2 All parts listings must accurately describe the part, its condition (new, used, or refurbished), its compatibility, and its price.
5.3 Parts dealers are solely responsible for the accuracy of compatibility information. MotorDeal accepts no liability for parts purchased based on incorrect compatibility claims made in dealer listings.
5.4 Dealers must not list counterfeit, unsafe, or illegally imported parts. MotorDeal reserves the right to remove any parts listing at its discretion and to terminate dealer accounts that violate this provision.
5.5 Dealer subscription fees are charged as set out in the pricing section of the platform. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.
5.6 MotorDeal offers a 7-day free trial for new dealer accounts. No charge is made if a subscription is cancelled before the trial period ends. After the trial period, the subscription fee is non-refundable for the current billing cycle.
5.7 MotorDeal reserves the right to modify dealer subscription pricing with 30 days' written notice to active subscribers.
6. Prohibited Conduct

- Post false, misleading, or fraudulent content of any kind.
- Impersonate another person or entity.
- Harvest contact details or data from other users for any purpose outside the platform.

7.4 MotorDeal is not a licensed financial institution, insurance provider, or escrow service. We do not hold funds on behalf of any user.
8. Credits and Boost System

8.2 Credits can be purchased through the platform or earned through the referral programme. Credits have no cash value and cannot be refunded, transferred, or exchanged for money.
8.3 Credits are deducted only when a boost bid is active. If a higher bid supersedes yours during the boost period, your credits are refunded to your account balance.
8.4 MotorDeal reserves the right to modify the credits system, pricing, and boost mechanics at any time with reasonable notice to users.
8.5 Credits expire 24 months after the date of purchase if unused.
8.6 Credits obtained through the referral programme expire 12 months from the date they are credited to your account.
