Terms and conditions

The seller and the operator of this website is Min - Trans s. r. o., with its registered office at Praha, Česká republika, company ID —, VAT ID —. Contact e-mail: info@mintrans.cz. Contact phone: +420 775 602 217.

Our offer is aimed primarily at businesses buying a vehicle in the course of their trade. In that case the relationship is governed by Czech Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code, and the provisions on consumer contracts do not apply. Where we exceptionally sell to a consumer, that buyer keeps every right under Section 1810 et seq. of the Civil Code and under Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on consumer protection. These terms then apply only to the extent that they do not curtail those rights.

The information about vehicles on this website is indicative and is not an offer to conclude a contract within the meaning of Section 1732 of the Civil Code. We advertise vehicles through other channels at the same time, so we cannot guarantee availability until an order is confirmed. Prices are quoted in euros excluding VAT unless expressly stated otherwise. VAT is added under the applicable rules; on export to a third country, or on supply to a person registered for VAT in another member state, an exemption applies under the statutory conditions. The price does not include transport, registration, insurance or customs charges in the country of destination unless agreed in writing.

Submitting a form on this website does not create a contract; it is a non-binding enquiry. The purchase contract is concluded only by signing a written purchase contract, or by written confirmation of the order together with payment of a deposit. We confirm reservations in writing. Unless agreed otherwise, a reservation is valid for seven calendar days and is conditional on payment of the deposit; if the deposit is not credited within that period, the reservation lapses automatically.

Unless agreed otherwise, the price is paid by bank transfer to the account stated on the invoice: a deposit of 10–20 % on reservation and the balance before the vehicle is handed over or before transport begins. Title to the vehicle passes to the buyer only once the purchase price has been paid in full; until then the vehicle remains the property of the seller (retention of title under Section 2132 of the Civil Code). In the event of late payment the seller may claim default interest at the statutory rate.

We hand the vehicle over at the place stated in the contract, as a rule at our yard in the Czech Republic, once the full purchase price has been paid. A handover protocol is drawn up. The risk of damage passes to the buyer on taking delivery of the vehicle or, where the seller arranges transport, on handing the vehicle over to the first carrier. If the buyer does not collect the vehicle within 14 days of being called upon to do so, the seller may charge storage at the usual rate.

We sell predominantly used vehicles. The buyer acknowledges that such a vehicle shows wear corresponding to its age and mileage and that, to that extent, this is not a defect. We describe the condition of the vehicle as it is, including the faults found, in the inspection report the buyer receives before the purchase and which forms an annex to the purchase contract. The buyer is entitled to inspect the vehicle in person before buying, or to commission an independent third-party assessment. Rights from defective performance are exercised under Section 2099 et seq. of the Civil Code. In a sale between businesses the parties may agree a shorter period for exercising those rights, but not less than twelve months from taking delivery. Liability does not extend to defects the buyer was told about, to normal wear and tear, to the consequences of improper use, overloading or neglected maintenance, or to unqualified interventions in the vehicle.

Sourcing a vehicle to order is non-binding for both sides until the buyer approves a specific vehicle in writing. We charge no fee for the search and the inspection themselves unless expressly agreed otherwise. The inspection report describes the condition of the vehicle on the day of the inspection and is based on a visual check, a test drive and data read from the control units. It is not an expert opinion and does not replace dismantling the assemblies.

A purchase offer is based on the information you provide and is valid for seven calendar days. We may adjust it if the actual condition of the vehicle, its mileage, its documentation or its equipment differs from what was provided. The seller declares that they are the lawful owner of the vehicle, that the vehicle is free of liens, leasing and other encumbrances, and that the odometer reading is genuine. The seller is responsible for the truth of these declarations.

We arrange export registration plates, the COC certificate, the export customs declaration, the CMR consignment note and proof of cargo insurance, where this is possible for the vehicle and the destination in question. Meeting the import, type-approval and registration requirements in the country of destination is the buyer's responsibility; we are glad to advise, but we cannot guarantee them. Transport dates given are indicative and may change through circumstances beyond our control, in particular border queues, weather or changes to customs rules.

The seller may withdraw from the contract if the buyer is more than 14 days late with payment, or if a fact preventing the transfer of title comes to light after the contract was concluded. The buyer may withdraw in the cases laid down by law or by the contract, in particular where there is a material defect they were not told about. If the buyer withdraws without a legal ground after we have bought or modified a vehicle at their request, the seller may set off the costs demonstrably incurred against the deposit paid.

We are not liable for lost profit, a lost contract or other indirect damage arising in connection with late delivery or with a defect in the vehicle, unless caused intentionally or by gross negligence. Total damages are limited to the purchase price of the vehicle concerned. This limitation does not apply where it would be invalid under mandatory provisions of law, in particular in the case of harm to health or to a person's natural rights.

We process personal data in the way described in the separate Privacy policy document, available from the footer of this website.

The contractual relationship is governed by the law of the Czech Republic, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), unless agreed otherwise in writing. The parties will first try to settle any dispute by agreement. Failing that, the general court at the seller's registered office has jurisdiction. Where the buyer is a consumer, they may turn to the Czech Trade Inspection Authority as the body for out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes (coi.cz).

We may change the wording of these terms. The version in force on the day a contract is concluded governs that contract; the current version is always on this page, with the date of the last update shown. If any provision of these terms is invalid or ineffective, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
