1. About These Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Car Boots UK, including the website at carbootsuk.com, any related pages, features, directories, listings, tools and services made available through the website.

By accessing, browsing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the website.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be amended accordingly. Your continued use of the website after changes are published will constitute acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. About Our Website

Car Boots UK provides information relating to car boot sales, markets, events, venues, locations and other related activities throughout the United Kingdom.

Our website may include information such as:

• Car boot sale names and locations;
• Addresses and map information;
• Opening dates and times;
• Seller and buyer information;
• Entry or pitch fees;
• Contact information;
• Links to organisers' websites and social media pages;
• Facilities and accessibility information;
• Weather-dependent or seasonal information;
• User-submitted information, reviews or updates; and
• Other information relating to car boot sales and local events.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Car Boots UK is an independent directory and information service. We do not own, manage or operate the car boot sales listed on the website.

3. No Guarantee of Listing Accuracy

We aim to provide useful and accurate information, but details relating to car boot sales can change at short notice.

For example, an event may be cancelled, postponed, relocated or have its opening times changed because of weather conditions, ground conditions, organiser decisions, public holidays, local restrictions or other circumstances outside our control.

We therefore do not guarantee that any listing, date, time, price, contact detail, address, availability or other information displayed on the website is complete, current or error-free.

You should always confirm important details directly with the relevant organiser, venue or official website before travelling, booking accommodation, paying fees or making other arrangements.

4. Third-Party Car Boot Sales and Organisers

Car boot sales and other events displayed on our website are generally operated by independent third parties.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, we are not responsible for:

• The organisation or operation of an event;
• Event cancellations or changes;
• Entry fees or seller pitch fees;
• Parking arrangements;
• Health and safety at an event;
• Items purchased or sold at an event;
• Disputes between buyers, sellers, organisers or venues;
• Loss, theft, injury or damage occurring at an event; or
• The conduct of an organiser, seller, buyer or other third party.

Your attendance at any event listed on our website is entirely at your own discretion and subject to the terms, rules and policies of the relevant organiser.

You may use the website for personal and lawful purposes in accordance with these Terms.

You must not:

• Use the website for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website, servers or systems;
• Introduce viruses, malware, malicious scripts or other harmful technology;
• Interfere with the proper operation or security of the website;
• Use automated systems, bots, scrapers or similar technologies to extract substantial amounts of website content without our prior written permission;
• Copy, reproduce or republish substantial portions of our directory for commercial purposes without permission;

• Use information obtained from the website to send spam or unsolicited marketing communications.

6. Directory Listings

We reserve the right to add, edit, update, suspend or remove any listing from the website at our discretion.

Being included in the Car Boots UK directory does not imply that we endorse, recommend, approve or guarantee a particular car boot sale, organiser, business or venue.

Similarly, the order or prominence of listings should not automatically be interpreted as a ranking or recommendation unless clearly stated.

7. Listing Owners and Organisers

Event organisers, venue owners or authorised representatives may contact us to request changes to information displayed about their car boot sale or event.

We may request reasonable evidence that a person is authorised to represent a particular event, business or venue before making significant changes to a listing.

Organisers are responsible for ensuring that any information they provide to us is accurate, lawful and up to date.

We reserve the right to refuse, edit or remove submitted information where we reasonably believe it is inaccurate, misleading, inappropriate, unlawful or inconsistent with the purpose of the website.

8. User-Submitted Content

Where the website allows users to submit listings, reviews, corrections, photographs, comments or other content, you are responsible for the information you submit.

By submitting content, you confirm that:

• The information is accurate to the best of your knowledge;

Unless otherwise stated, the design, branding, layout, text, graphics, databases, software and other original content available through Car Boots UK are owned by us or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view and use the website for normal personal use.

You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, licence or commercially exploit substantial parts of our website or database without prior written permission.

Names, logos, photographs and trademarks belonging to third-party event organisers, venues or businesses remain the property of their respective owners.

We will review legitimate requests and may remove or amend disputed content where appropriate.

11. External Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to external websites, Facebook pages, Instagram accounts, Google Maps, booking services or other third-party services.

These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their:

• Content;
• Availability;
• Security;
• Privacy practices;

Accessing a third-party website is at your own risk and subject to that provider's own terms and policies.

12. Maps, Directions and Location Information

Maps, distances, directions, postcodes and geographical information provided through the website are intended as a guide only.

You should independently verify your destination and route before travelling.

We are not responsible for losses resulting from inaccurate location information, incorrect navigation, parking restrictions, road closures or other travel-related circumstances.

13. Event Dates, Weather and Cancellations

Many car boot sales are weather-dependent and may be cancelled without significant advance notice.

A listing appearing on our website does not guarantee that an event will take place.

Users are strongly encouraged to check the organiser's official website, social media page or telephone contact before setting out, particularly where poor weather or exceptional circumstances may affect the event.

14. Prices and Fees

Any entry fees, seller pitch prices, parking charges or other prices shown on the website are provided for information only.

Prices may change without notice and we cannot guarantee that the amount displayed on our website is the amount that will be charged by an organiser.

Unless we specifically process a transaction ourselves, all payments relating to an event are arrangements between you and the relevant third-party organiser.

15. Advertising and Sponsored Content

Car Boots UK may display advertisements, sponsored listings, featured listings, affiliate links or other promotional content.

Where reasonably appropriate, sponsored or promotional placements may be identified as such.

Payment for advertising or increased listing visibility does not constitute a guarantee or endorsement of the advertiser, event or service.

You should make your own assessment before purchasing products or services from an advertiser or third party.

16. Affiliate Links

Some links on our website may be affiliate links. This means that we may receive a commission if you click a link and subsequently purchase a product or service from a third party.

Where applicable, this does not normally increase the price you pay.

Affiliate relationships do not affect our responsibility to present information fairly, but you should always make your own purchasing decisions.

17. Availability of the Website

We aim to keep the website available and functioning correctly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

We may temporarily suspend, restrict or withdraw parts of the website for maintenance, updates, security reasons or circumstances outside our control.

26. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

27. No Waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, this does not mean that we have waived our right to enforce it later.

28. Transfer of Rights

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms as part of a sale, restructuring, transfer or reorganisation of the website or business, provided that doing so does not materially reduce any rights you have under applicable law.

29. Governing Law
