1. Acceptance of Terms & EULA

By accessing or using Time Machine Cars ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (EULA). This is a legally binding agreement between you and Time Machine Cars. If you do not agree to these terms, do not download, access, or use this App.

Apple EULA Compliance: You agree that these Terms constitute the entire end user license agreement between you and Time Machine Cars, and supersede any other agreements. You acknowledge that Time Machine Cars (not Apple) is responsible for the App and its content. Your use of this App must comply with these Terms and applicable laws.

Mandatory Agreement: You must explicitly agree to these Terms during account registration. Continued use of the App constitutes your acceptance of these Terms as modified from time to time.

2. Zero Tolerance for Objectionable Content & Abusive Behavior

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy. The following are prohibited and will result in immediate content removal and permanent account termination:

  • Hateful or discriminatory content: Content that promotes violence, hatred, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic
  • Harassment and abuse: Threats, intimidation, bullying, stalking, or any abusive behavior toward other users
  • Fraud and deception: Fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive listings, scams, or misrepresentation of vehicles
  • Spam and advertising: Unsolicited advertising, promotional content, or spam of any kind
  • Illegal content: Any content that violates applicable local, state, national, or international laws
  • Adult or graphic content: Sexually explicit, violent, or graphically disturbing material

We reserve the right to remove any content and terminate any account at our sole discretion, without notice. Violations may be reported to law enforcement authorities.

NO TOLERANCE: We do not tolerate any form of objectionable content or abusive behavior. One strike and you're out.

3. User-Generated Content

You are solely responsible for content you post. By posting, you confirm your content is accurate, lawful, and does not violate these terms. We reserve the right to remove any content at our discretion and will act on reports within 24 hours.

4. Content Moderation & Reporting

Active Moderation: We actively monitor and moderate all user-generated content on the App. Our moderation team reviews reported content within 24 hours and takes appropriate action, including content removal and account termination.

24-Hour Response Commitment: We commit to reviewing and acting on all reports of objectionable content within 24 hours of submission. This includes removing violating content and ejecting users who violate these Terms.

Reporting Violations: Users can and should flag or report any listings, comments, or other users that violate these Terms. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. To report a violation, use the in-app reporting feature or contact us at support@timemachinecars.net.

Enforcement: We enforce these Terms strictly. Users who violate these Terms will face immediate consequences, including but not limited to content removal, account suspension, or permanent account termination. We cooperate with law enforcement when illegal activity is detected.

User Safety is Our Priority: We are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful community free from objectionable content and abusive users.

5. Blocking Users

You may block any user at any time. Blocked users' content will be hidden from your feed immediately. Blocking a user also notifies our moderation team for review.

6. Listings

Listings must represent real vehicles for sale. Misrepresentation, fraud, or sale of illegal items is prohibited and will result in immediate account termination and may be reported to law enforcement.

7. Buy It Now Deposits

Some fixed-price listings let a buyer reserve the car with a deposit ("Buy It Now"). By paying a deposit you agree to the following:

  • Your deposit locks the car so no one else can buy it.
  • You pay a processing fee of 5% of the deposit (at least $25, at most $250) on top of the deposit.
  • You pay the rest directly to the seller within the time the seller chose: 3, 7, 10 or 14 days, shown on the listing.
  • After the seller marks the sale completed, the buyer has 2 days to report a problem before the deposit is paid out to the seller. A reported problem pauses the payout until Time Machine Cars reviews it.
  • If you back out or don't pay the balance by the deadline, the seller keeps the full deposit and the processing fee is not refunded.
  • If the seller reports that you didn't pay, you're notified and have 48 hours to show you paid or report a problem. Time Machine Cars reviews any disagreement before the deposit is released.
  • If the seller backs out or the car is materially misdescribed, you get a full refund of the deposit and the processing fee.

8. Auction Deposits & Buyer's Fee

  • A refundable deposit is required for each auction you bid on: 3% of your first bid, minimum $150, maximum $5,000.
  • Your card is saved and charged automatically for the rest of the 3% buyer's fee (max $5,000) when you win.
  • If the charge fails, you must pay within 24 hours using the payment link we send.
  • Unpaid winners can lose the sale (which may be offered to the second-highest bidder) and be suspended from bidding.
  • If a sale falls through through no fault of the buyer, the buyer's fee is refunded.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties & Liability

Time Machine Cars is a marketplace platform that connects buyers and sellers. We do not verify the accuracy, quality, or legality of user listings, and we do not participate in transactions between users. All transactions are conducted directly between buyers and sellers at their own risk.

Apple Disclaimer: The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Time Machine Cars (not Apple) is solely responsible for the App and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance, support, or warranty services for the App.

Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Time Machine Cars shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App or any violations of these Terms by other users.
