Terms of Use

By accessing or using Vanturis (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and by our Privacy Policy and Listing and Information Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform. These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Vanturis.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you use the Platform on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity. You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep it current. Vanturis may verify identity and eligibility at any time.

• Platform — the Vanturis marketplace, Passport, auctions, Concierge, Trust products, websites, and related services.
• Marketplace — the listing, discovery, and inquiry features connecting listing parties and prospective buyers.
• Listing — an asset presentation published by a listing party or authorized source.
• Seller — a private seller, owner, or authorized representative listing an asset.
• Buyer — a prospective purchaser or inquirer.
• Dealer — a business seller operating under a dealer plan or arrangement.
• Partner — an independent business or provider participating through the Platform.
• Passport — the asset-associated history and information system (Section 13).
• Auction — a time-based bidding format offered on the Platform (Section 20).
• Trust Products — Vanturis Verified, Approved, Certified, Passport, Score, Value, and Protect, each with its own scope and limitations.
• Concierge — Vanturis's coordination and introduction service.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement and permitted by applicable law, Vanturis operates as a marketplace, advertising, information, and technology platform. Merely using the Platform does not make Vanturis any of the following with respect to a listed asset or a transaction between users:

• owner or seller of a listed asset;
• buyer;
• motor vehicle dealer, broker, buyer's agent, or seller's agent;
• fiduciary of any user;
• escrow agent, title company, or closing agent;
• insurer, lender, financial adviser, tax adviser, or legal adviser;
• transporter or repair facility;
• aircraft operator or aircraft broker;
• marine broker.

This Section does not limit any service Vanturis expressly agrees to provide under a separate written agreement, and nothing here should be read to contradict such an arrangement.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, Vanturis has no authority to bind any seller, buyer, dealer, partner, or provider, and no such party has authority to bind Vanturis. Transactions occur directly between the parties.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at info@vanturis.com of any unauthorized use. You must not share, sell, or transfer your account without our permission.

If you list an asset, you represent and warrant, as applicable, that:

• you own the asset or are authorized to list it;
• the listing is lawful;
• the information you supply is accurate to your knowledge and not misleading;
• you will disclose known material facts as required;
• you have the rights necessary to submit and permit use of photos, video, and other media;
• VIN, serial, registration, and identifier information is accurate;
• your title and ownership representations are legitimate;
• you will disclose known liens or encumbrances as required;
• you comply with dealer, licensing, disclosure, and warranty laws applicable to you;
• you comply with applicable tax and regulatory obligations;
• you will not manipulate bids, inquiries, or Platform activity; and
• you will not misrepresent condition, history, or specifications.

Buyers are responsible for independently verifying all matters material to a purchase, including seller identity and authority, VIN/serial number, title, liens, ownership, registration, odometer, mileage, engine and generator hours, condition, maintenance, service and accident/damage history, recalls, specifications, modifications, regulatory compliance, taxes, insurance, financing, transportation, and suitability for your intended use. We strongly recommend an independent pre-purchase inspection and qualified professional review before you commit funds.

Listing information is provided by sellers, dealers, partners, or authorized sources and may contain errors or omissions. Presentation, curation, or editorial review of a listing by Vanturis does not, by itself, constitute independent verification of any fact, unless a specific fact is expressly identified as verified. Vanturis may edit, remove, pause, or re-classify a listing at its discretion.

Vanturis Verified reflects that Vanturis confirmed specified identity, ownership, or authorization information to a defined scope and as of a particular point in time. Verified does not warrant vehicle condition, title quality, absence of liens, future ownership status, mechanical condition, market value, legal compliance, seller performance, or transaction completion.

Where used, "Vanturis Approved" is an editorial or presentation designation reflecting curation criteria. It is not a warranty of condition, title, value, or transaction outcome. The precise scope of "Approved" is subject to the applicable Vanturis Standards materials.

Where a listing references certification or a certified inspection, that designation is limited by the inspection's scope and date, may not cover inaccessible components or latent defects, reflects conditions as of the inspection date only, and may be performed by independent third-party inspectors. Certification is not a warranty and is not a guarantee of future condition. Conditions may change after inspection.

Vanturis Passport is an asset-associated information and history system built from multiple sources, which may include records supplied by sellers, providers, inspectors, and other users. Passport is not a certificate of title, title insurance, a DMV record, an ownership guarantee, a complete accident-history guarantee, a complete service-history guarantee, a warranty, or a guarantee that every relevant event has been reported.

Passport is designed to preserve asset history across ownership changes; certain records may remain associated with an asset after a sale. Correction and dispute mechanisms may be available for records associated with an asset, subject to verification. Because Passport supports record integrity and fraud prevention, some records may be detached or archived rather than erased, and completeness is not guaranteed.

Vanturis Score is a comparative, informational output only. It is not an appraisal, a warranty, investment advice, a future-value guarantee, or a guarantee of condition.

Vanturis Value is a market estimate or range only. It is not a certified appraisal (unless expressly designated as such), a guaranteed sale price, a financing valuation, a tax valuation, or an insurance valuation.

Where offered, Vanturis Protect is a coordination and event-record product. It is not escrow, title insurance, a closing service, insurance, a guarantee of party performance, or a guarantee of transaction completion. Its precise scope is defined in the applicable product materials.

Concierge coordination and introductions do not create an agency or fiduciary relationship, a warranty, an endorsement of every third party, or responsibility for third-party performance. You remain responsible for your own decisions and diligence.

Inspectors, transporters, finance companies, insurers, repair shops, title and escrow providers, photographers, brokers, and other specialists referenced or introduced through the Platform are independent third parties. Their services are governed by their own terms and agreements, and Vanturis is not responsible for their performance.

Vanturis may, where applicable and lawfully permitted, receive listing fees, subscription or plan fees, advertising or sponsorship revenue, referral or affiliate compensation, partner fees, and service-coordination fees. Vanturis currently charges fees for certain Platform services, including listing packages, dealer plans, featured placement, and Trust products (see Section 23). The receipt of such compensation does not, by itself, create a fiduciary relationship or make Vanturis a party to a transaction between users. We do not represent that every category listed above is currently collected.

Where auctions are offered, auction-specific rules published for a given auction control over these general Terms in the event of a conflict. Auction rules may address, as applicable, reserve or no-reserve status, bidder and seller eligibility and authority, the binding or non-binding nature of bids according to those rules, buyer premiums and seller fees where disclosed, bid increments, limitations on bid retraction, prohibitions on shill bidding and manipulation, handling of technical failures and extensions, cancellation and asset withdrawal, seller acceptance, closing and payment requirements, taxes, default, and dispute handling.

Owner/Attorney review required: the legal enforceability and binding effect of a bid depend on auction rules that must be finalized and confirmed by counsel. Until then, no representation is made here about whether a particular bid is legally binding.

Private aviation opportunities are presented through sellers and trusted specialists. Vanturis does not independently guarantee FAA registration, airworthiness, logbook completeness, maintenance status, liens, title, aircraft condition, or regulatory compliance. Buyers must engage qualified aviation professionals and conduct appropriate diligence.

Luxury marine opportunities are presented through sellers and trusted specialists. Vanturis does not independently guarantee title or documentation, registry status, liens, vessel condition, survey results, seaworthiness, maintenance, or regulatory compliance. Buyers must engage qualified marine professionals and conduct appropriate diligence.

Certain Platform services are paid, including one-time listing packages (for example, enhanced presentation and featured placement), dealer plans billed on a recurring monthly basis, and Trust products. Applicable prices and what each service includes are disclosed at the point of purchase. You are responsible for applicable taxes. Where a plan renews, renewal terms will be disclosed at purchase. Cancellations, refunds, and chargebacks are handled in accordance with the terms disclosed for the relevant service and applicable law. Fees relate to Platform services and are separate from any asset-purchase price.

Owner/Attorney review required: recurring-billing, auto-renewal, and refund terms must be confirmed against applicable auto-renewal and consumer-protection laws.

Vanturis does not receive or hold asset-purchase funds and does not act as escrow for a purchase. Payments you make to Vanturis are for Platform services and fees only. Funds for the purchase of a vehicle, aircraft, or vessel, and any escrow, title, or closing charges, are handled directly between the parties and their independent providers.

Payment and wiring fraud is a serious risk in high-value transactions. You must independently confirm all payment and wiring instructions before sending funds, and you should verbally verify instructions using contact information you obtain independently — not from an email that could be spoofed. Treat any last-minute change in payment instructions as suspicious. Except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded, Vanturis is not responsible for funds you voluntarily send to a fraudulent or incorrect account.

You retain applicable ownership of content you submit (such as photos, video, listing copy, specifications, and permitted documents). You grant Vanturis a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, resize, reformat, display, distribute, and promote your content in connection with operating and marketing the Platform and your listing. You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant this license and that your content does not infringe the rights of others.

Vanturis may use technology, including artificial intelligence, to assist with organizing, categorizing, drafting, or formatting descriptions and workflows. AI-assisted or AI-generated text is a drafting aid and is not independent verification of any underlying fact. Human and seller review remains important, and you are responsible for the accuracy of information you submit or approve.

The Platform, including its editorial content, imagery, code, and design system, is owned by Vanturis or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Platform content without permission.

Vanturis Verified, Vanturis Approved, Vanturis Certified, Vanturis Passport, Vanturis Score, Vanturis Value, Vanturis Protect, and Vanturis Concierge, together with related names and logos, are marks of Vanturis. You may not use them without permission.

You must not: commit fraud or impersonation; publish false or stolen listings; list stolen assets; manipulate bids or engage in shill bidding; introduce malware; attempt unauthorized access or circumvention; scrape or harvest where prohibited; infringe intellectual-property rights; harass others; post illegal content; abuse or falsify Passport, inspection, or service records; or otherwise violate these Terms or applicable law.

Vanturis may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms, harms others, or exposes Vanturis to legal risk. Sections intended to survive termination will continue to apply.

By providing your contact information, you consent to receive service communications necessary to operate your account and respond to your requests, primarily by email. Where we offer optional marketing or text-message communications, we will obtain any consent required by law, and you may opt out as described in those communications or our Privacy Policy.

Where applicable, you consent to transact electronically and to receive records electronically, and you agree that electronic acceptances and signatures are valid to the extent permitted by law.

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vanturis disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform or any listing information will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free, or perfectly accurate. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vanturis will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, goodwill, or data, arising from or relating to: the conduct of sellers, buyers, dealers, partners, or providers; inaccurate or incomplete listing information; undisclosed defects; failure or non-completion of a transaction; service interruption; cyber incidents outside our reasonable control; data supplied by third parties; asset condition; shipping or transport; title disputes; financing or insurance; or auction interruptions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vanturis's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Platform will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid to Vanturis in the twelve months preceding the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars. These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Vanturis and its affiliates, and their respective personnel, from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: information you submit that is false, misleading, or infringing; your illegal conduct; your breach of these Terms; claims relating to your listings or content; and transaction disputes caused by your conduct.

Because transactions occur directly between users, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you release Vanturis from claims, demands, and damages arising out of disputes between you and another user or a third-party provider.

We encourage you to contact us first at info@vanturis.com so we can try to resolve any concern informally. Subject to Section 39, disputes are currently resolved through the courts identified below, and these Terms do not currently impose binding arbitration, a class-action waiver, or a jury-trial waiver.

Attorney review required — proposed for future consideration only, not currently in effect: a future version of these Terms may, subject to counsel review and lawful implementation, introduce an informal dispute process, binding arbitration, a small-claims exception, an arbitration opt-out right, a class-action waiver, and a jury-trial waiver. No such regime applies unless and until it is expressly adopted and presented to you.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Tennessee, to whose exclusive jurisdiction you consent, except where applicable law requires otherwise. The governing-law and venue selection is pending final confirmation of the Vanturis legal entity and principal place of business by counsel.

Vanturis is not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, outages, labor disputes, cyber incidents, or governmental actions.

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. Vanturis may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Listing and Information Disclaimer, and any service-specific or auction-specific terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Vanturis regarding the Platform and supersede prior understandings on that subject.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Platform after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, release, dispute resolution, and governing law — survive termination of your access.

Questions about these Terms may be directed to info@vanturis.com.
