Terms of use

519Cars.io is a wholesale platform for licensed motor vehicle dealers in Ontario. Accounts are issued by invitation. To hold one, your dealership must be registered under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002 and in good standing with OMVIC, and the person using the account must be authorised to buy vehicles for it.

This is not a retail service. Nothing on the platform is offered to the public, and vehicles bought here are bought dealer-to-dealer.

When you sign in, you are telling us you are allowed to commit your dealership — to these terms, and to anything you buy from the account.

Keep your password to yourself. Anything done from your account is treated as done by your dealership, so tell us at support@519cars.io straight away if you think someone else has access.

We can suspend or close an account that is shared, used by someone who is not a dealer, or used to make offers there is no intention of honouring.

519 Cars inspects each vehicle and writes the listing. Photos, the odometer reading, the condition notes and any disclosures reflect what we found at the time of inspection. Anything we are required to disclose under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002 appears on the listing and on the bill of sale.

Reconditioning notes are a work estimate, not a disclosure. They are our view of what the vehicle would need, and they are not a warranty that the work has been done or that the estimate is complete.

Every vehicle is sold as-is on a wholesale basis unless the bill of sale says otherwise. You are buying as a dealer, and you are expected to satisfy yourself about condition, including by inspecting the vehicle.

Beyond the disclosures the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002 requires us to make, we make no other promise about a vehicle — nothing about its condition, its quality, or what you will be able to do with it, whether said out loud or taken for granted. That includes the promises the Sale of Goods Act (Ontario) would otherwise read into a sale, which do not apply here. You are buying on your own inspection and your own judgement.

An offer you submit is an offer to buy at that price, and it stays open until it is withdrawn, declined, countered, or the listing stops running. Withdrawing before it has been accepted is always allowed.

When 519 Cars accepts your offer, or you accept a price we have set or countered with, the sale is agreed. At that point a bill of sale is issued for signature and the vehicle is no longer available to other buyers.

You will never see another dealer’s offers or activity, and they will never see yours.

Bills of sale are signed in the app. You agree that an electronic signature, record or document used here is legally binding and satisfies any requirement for a written or signed document, under the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario).

A signed bill of sale cannot be edited. If something on it is wrong, it is voided and a corrected one is issued in its place, and both stay on the record.

If these terms and a signed bill of sale say different things about a sale, the bill of sale is the one that counts for that sale.

Payment terms, pickup and delivery are arranged between your dealership and 519 Cars for each sale, and are recorded on the bill of sale. Title and risk pass on the terms set out there.

Until a vehicle is paid for in full, it remains the property of 519 Cars.

Pay by the date on the bill of sale. If it does not give one, pay before you pick the vehicle up.

Late payments carry interest at [rate — e.g. 1.5% a month, which is 18% a year], or the most the law allows, whichever is lower. If a payment bounces or is reversed, replace it immediately in cleared funds.

If we have not been paid within [N business days] of the sale being agreed, we can cancel it and sell the vehicle to someone else. If it sells for less than you agreed to pay, your dealership owes us the difference, along with what it reasonably costs us to collect.

Pick the vehicle up within [N business days] of your payment clearing. After that we can charge storage at [$ per day], or cancel the sale on the same terms as above.

HST applies to what you buy, and it is shown on the bill of sale. If your dealership claims an exemption from any tax, it is up to you to give us valid documentation for it.

Check the vehicle before you drive it away, and say so at pickup if something is wrong. Then put it in writing to support@519cars.io within [N business days] of picking it up.

We will look at claims about [scope — e.g. a disclosure required by the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002 that was missing from the listing and the bill of sale]. Everything else is covered by the as-is basis of the sale, in section 3.

There is no claim once the vehicle has been sold on to a retail customer, materially altered, or exported from Canada.

If a claim is valid, what you get is [remedy — e.g. the sale cancelled and the price refunded, or a price adjustment 519 Cars offers].

If you export a vehicle, getting it right is your dealership’s job: the Canadian rules for taking it out, and the rules of wherever it is going for bringing it in. 519 Cars does not provide import or export paperwork.

Once a vehicle leaves Canada, the claims in section 8 are no longer available on it.

Do not:

• scrape, copy or republish listings, photos or vehicle data;
• share access with anyone outside your dealership;
• use the platform to advertise vehicles to the public as your own inventory before you own them;
• interfere with the service, or try to reach data that is not yours.

Listings, photos, inspection notes and the platform itself belong to 519 Cars. Once you buy a vehicle, you may use its photos and details to resell it.

We aim to keep the platform running and accurate, but we do not promise it will be available without interruption or free of error. A listing can be corrected or pulled at any time before a sale is agreed.

Except where the law does not allow it to be limited, 519 Cars is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit or lost resale value, and our total liability for any claim connected to a vehicle is limited to what your dealership paid for that vehicle.

Nothing here limits any obligation 519 Cars has under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002.

It runs the other way too: if 519 Cars loses money because your dealership broke these terms or broke the law, your dealership is responsible for that loss, including reasonable legal costs.

Closing an account does not end everything here. What belongs to 519 Cars, the limits on liability, the claims process, and the records a registered dealer has to keep all carry on afterwards.

We may update these terms. If a change matters to how you buy, we will tell you by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the platform after that means you accept the change.

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the laws of Canada that apply in it, and the courts of Ontario have jurisdiction.
