We reserve the right to amend these Terms of Use from time to time. The amended Terms of Use will be posted on this Website, and will become effective from the date they are posted. Your continued use of this Website after any such post will constitute your acceptance of, and agreement to, any changes.
4. Our Services
ValueMyCaravan works with a range of caravan buying partners to deliver the Services. Such caravan buying partners include those engaging through the ValueMyCaravan auction platform for eligible caravans (“Dealer Partners”).
This Website provides the Services through which you may:
Submit details of your caravan (including via our document capture feature) and your personal contact details to get an online valuation via one or more of our Caravan Buying Partners; and
Submit your personal contact details in order for us or our Caravan Buying Partners to contact you about your caravan valuation, and/or a potential transaction regarding your caravan.
By submitting your details to us and so creating an account with us, you warrant that you are over 18 years old, reside in the United Kingdom and that the details you provide to us are true, accurate, complete and current. If you are submitting information via the Website about a caravan you do not own, or on behalf of another person, you warrant that you have all the requisite permissions necessary to provide us with such information to use in accordance with these Terms of Use.
You accept that any online valuation shown on our Website is indicative only and is based on a set of assumptions about your caravan. You understand that the actual price offered and/or paid for your caravan by a Caravan Buying Partner may change following further discussion with, or inspection of the caravan by, one of our Caravan Buying Partners. Submitting your details to our Website does not oblige or bind you to sell your caravan to any of our Caravan Buying Partners.
Specific services that we offer, or make available to you from time to time, through the Website may also be governed by additional or alternative terms and conditions with us, or other third parties (including third party privacy policies). Where you take up any such services, please review these additional terms and conditions carefully.
5. ValueMyCaravan Buying Partners
You acknowledge that the valuations on our Website (and, if applicable, any subsequent purchase of your vehicle) are offers from our third party Caravan Buying Partners, not from us. You are not contracting directly with us for the provision of any caravan buying services and those services do not form part of the Services. Although we select our Caravan Buying Partners carefully (to attempt to provide you with the best possible price for your caravan, and the best possible customer service), we are not party to your transaction with any Caravan Buying Partner. As such, we do not make any representations, guarantees or warranties of any kind that the prices provided to us by our Caravan Buying Partners are accurate, or representative of the true value of your car.
When you request a caravan valuation, your details (including certain information we collect about you through your use of the Website in accordance with our Privacy Policy) may be passed to the relevant Caravan Buying Partner that we deem most suited to your caravan, or whoever we may choose to contract with. You agree that the relevant Caravan Buying Partner may contact you to further discuss your caravan and agree a purchase price should you wish to proceed with the sale. Use of this Website in no way obliges you to accept a price offered by any of our Caravan Buying Partners.
All communications between you and any of our Caravan Buying Partners is subject to the terms and conditions of that Caravan Buying Partner, and we accept no responsibility for any deal, car purchase, payment or disputes that may arise between you and the Caravan Buying Partner.
6. Third Parties and Third Party Services
In accordance with our Privacy Policy, we may:
provide your details to other third parties that supply related services and they may contact you to discuss these by email or telephone; and/or
work with third parties (including, for example, advertising networks, analytics providers, automotive data providers, search information providers or social networks) and receive information about you from them.
You understand that this Website may contain:

We make this Website, including any offer or promotion of any Service, available for United Kingdom residents only and we make no representations, guarantees or warranties that the Services are available or appropriate for use by those outside the United Kingdom.
11. Pricing claims
The aim of the ValueMyCaravan service is to provide caravan sellers with a simple, online way to get the best offer for their caravan from ValueMyCaravan’s network of Caravan Buying Partners.
We conduct analytical research on historic caravan buyer offers shown on our website, actual sale prices from completed sales, and pricing variations over time.
Where we make a claim such as “You could get up to £1,000 more”, this is based on an analysis between the highest and lowest offers from our Caravan Buying Partners across a large sample of enquiries, ensuring a significant proportion of customers achieve a variance of at least this figure if selecting the highest offer over the lowest.
Comparison pricing data analysed always excludes offers from scrap or recycling firms, so that offers are compared on a ‘full value’ basis.
Any claims relating to this research are subject to change over time and variance in samples. Research and related claims are updated regularly.
