These Terms govern the relationship between OEMRecycler (the "Platform", "we") and any business listing parts for sale on oemrecycler.com (the "Seller", "you").
By creating a Seller account, ticking the box confirming you accept these Terms, or listing any part on the Platform, you agree to be bound by this agreement. If you do not agree, do not register and do not list parts.
1.1. Platform — the online service at oemrecycler.com that lets Sellers list, display and sell parts to Buyers.
1.2. Seller — a salvage yard, dismantler, parts business or other entity registered on the Platform and listing parts for sale.
1.3. Buyer — a person or business that buys, or intends to buy, a part listed by a Seller.
1.4. Listing — a part offered for sale on the Platform, with its description, photos, price and quantity.
1.5. Order — a Buyer's request to purchase one or more parts.
1.6. Platform Order — an Order placed and paid through the OEMRecycler checkout. This distinction matters throughout: commission and buyer protection apply to Platform Orders only.
1.7. Balance — the Seller's internal account on the Platform, used for commission, plan fees and payouts.
1.8. Commission — the Platform's fee on a Platform Order, set out in section 8.
1.9. Dashboard — the Seller's private area of the Platform, accessible after signing in.
2.1. The Platform provides the Seller with access to the marketplace: listing parts, displaying them to Buyers, receiving and passing on Orders, and technical support.
2.2. The Seller pays for the Platform in accordance with the plan they select and the terms of this agreement.
2.3. The Platform brings Buyers to the marketplace through its own marketing — search, advertising and shopping feeds — at its own cost.
3.1. The Platform is an intermediary. It is not the seller of parts listed by other Sellers. The contract of sale is between the Buyer and that Seller.
3.2. The Platform does not inspect parts and does not warrant the quality, condition, legality or accuracy of description of parts listed by Sellers.
3.3. The Platform may list its own parts. Where it does, it acts as a Seller on the same terms as everyone else under this agreement.
3.4. The Platform does not buy, sell or broker vehicles. Where the Platform passes a vehicle enquiry to Sellers, any resulting purchase is a transaction between the vehicle owner and the Seller, subject to the licensing requirements of the Seller's province or state.
4.1. To sell, you register an account and provide accurate details: business name, contact person, phone, email, address and the country you operate in.
4.2. You confirm that you are a business lawfully entitled to sell auto parts in your jurisdiction, and that the information you provide is true and kept up to date.
4.3. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details confidential and for everything done under your account.
4.4. We may ask for additional verification — business registration, proof of title to the parts, or identity documents — before or after activation.
4.5. We may decline a registration or close an account where the information given is false or the account is used in breach of these Terms.
5.1. The Free plan carries no monthly fee and no time limit, within its listing allowance.
5.2. The first 30 days on any paid plan are free. The monthly fee begins after that period unless you cancel or move to the Free plan first.
5.3. On any paid plan we import your existing catalog — parts, photos and interchange data — and set up the ongoing sync, at no additional charge. The import is provided as a service, not as a warranty of completeness: you remain responsible for reviewing your listings once they are live.
5.4. Promotional terms may change for new registrations. A change does not alter terms already granted to an existing Seller for the period in which they were granted.
5.5. Where we find abuse — multiple accounts created to repeat a trial, or fictitious registrations — we may withdraw the promotional terms and close the accounts.
6.1. You create your own listings: title, description, condition, photos, price and quantity available.
6.2. You warrant that:
6.3. You keep quantities and prices current. Selling a part you no longer hold is a breach of this agreement.
6.4. We may adjust how a listing is categorised or formatted without changing the substance of what you have written.
7.1. You may not list: stolen parts or parts you cannot lawfully sell; counterfeit or falsely branded parts; airbags, restraint components or other parts whose resale is restricted in the Buyer's jurisdiction, unless you comply with those restrictions; parts subject to an open safety recall that has not been remedied; anything whose sale is prohibited by law.
7.2. You may not: publish false information; manipulate prices, reviews or ratings; use the Platform to defraud Buyers; deliberately route a Platform Order off the Platform to avoid commission after the Buyer has found the part here; or interfere with the operation of the service.
7.3. We may remove or hide any listing that breaches these Terms, without notice and without compensation.
8.1. Access to the Platform is provided under the plan you select. Current plans are published on the selling page and form part of this agreement.
8.2. The plan determines how many parts you may list at one time. Commission is the same on every plan.
| Plan | Listings | Monthly fee | Commission |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | up to 300 | Free | 15% |
| 1,000 | up to 1,000 | C$79 CAD/mo + tax | 15% |
| 5,000 | up to 5,000 | C$249 CAD/mo + tax | 15% |
| 10,000 | up to 10,000 | C$399 CAD/mo + tax | 15% |
| 30,000 | up to 30,000 | C$799 CAD/mo + tax | 15% |
8.3. Commission is charged only on Platform Orders — Orders placed and paid through the OEMRecycler checkout. It is calculated on the sale price of the part, excluding shipping and taxes, and is charged when the Order is placed.
8.4. Orders you take off the Platform carry no commission. A sale made at your counter, over the phone, on your own website or on another marketplace is yours alone and we take nothing from it.
8.5. Commission and plan fees are settled against your Balance. Changing plan takes effect as shown in your Dashboard, with the remaining value of the previous plan prorated.
8.6. We may change plans and commission on 30 days' notice given through the Platform or by email. Continuing to sell after the change takes effect means you accept it; if you do not, you may cancel under section 17.
The Buyer pays the Platform in full. We deduct our commission and hold the remainder. The funds are released to your Balance once the Buyer's 30-day window has passed without a dispute or return. This hold is what allows the Platform to stand behind the transaction.
Where the Buyer settles with you directly — bank transfer, cash at pickup, or cash on delivery collected by you — the Platform is not a party to that payment, holds none of the money, and charges no commission on it. Buyer protection does not apply to those transactions, and you are solely responsible for them.
10.1. Money we hold from a Platform Order is released to your Balance 30 calendar days after the part is delivered, provided there is no open dispute, claim or return.
10.2. Where a Buyer opens a claim, returns a part or raises a dispute, the release is paused until the matter is resolved.
10.3. Withdrawal from Balance to your bank account is requested through support. We process requests within a reasonable time.
10.4. We may set off against a payout any commission, plan fees, refunds owed to Buyers, chargebacks and amounts you owe us under this agreement.
10.5. Where a Buyer's card issuer reverses a payment (a chargeback) on an Order you fulfilled, the amount and any associated fee are charged back to your Balance. We will give you the opportunity to provide evidence to contest it.
11.1. You can top up your Balance through the payment methods available in your Dashboard.
11.2. Commission, plan fees and other charges are settled from your Balance automatically.
11.3. Where your Balance is in arrears, we may suspend new listings and restrict your account until it is settled. The thresholds in force are shown in your Dashboard.
11.4. A paid plan renews automatically while your Balance covers it. You can turn auto-renewal off in your Dashboard.
11.5. Keeping your Balance funded is your responsibility.
12.1. Orders reach you by email and in your Dashboard.
12.2. You confirm and prepare an Order for shipment within 3 business days of receiving it, unless a different time is agreed with the Buyer.
12.3. You keep the Buyer informed and provide accurate tracking information once the part ships.
12.4. If you cannot fulfil an Order, you tell us and the Buyer immediately.
12.5. Repeated failure to meet these times is grounds for the measures in section 17.
13.1. Every Seller on the Platform must meet these minimums: a 30-day return window from delivery and a 30-day warranty on the part. You may offer more generous terms; you may not offer less.
13.2. A return of a part that is not faulty and was correctly supplied is subject to a restocking fee of up to 20%, with return shipping arranged under your own published policy.
13.3. Where a part is faulty, not as described, or not the part ordered, the Buyer is entitled to a replacement or a full refund and no restocking fee applies.
13.4. You handle Buyer claims in good faith and within a reasonable time.
13.5. Where a return is accepted on a Platform Order, we refund the Buyer from the funds held and the commission on that Order is reversed to your Balance.
13.6. Your own return, shipping and warranty policy is displayed with your listings and must be consistent with this section.
14.1. Where a Buyer and a Seller cannot resolve a matter between themselves, either may refer it to the Platform.
14.2. We review the evidence provided by both sides — photographs, correspondence, shipping records, diagnostic reports — and decide how the funds we hold are to be applied.
14.3. Both sides are expected to provide the evidence we request. A failure to provide evidence is weighed against the party that withheld it.
14.4. Our decision binds the Seller only in respect of money passing through the Platform — what we hold, refund or release. It is not binding arbitration and does not determine any other rights between the parties.
14.5. Nothing in this section prevents either party from pursuing a claim in court.
15.1. You are responsible for the tax treatment of the parts you sell — including any sales tax, GST, HST, PST or QST payable on a sale, and for your own income and business taxes.
15.2. Where the law makes the Platform responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax on a marketplace sale, we will do so and will tell you how it affects your payouts.
15.3. Plan fees and commission are exclusive of tax. Applicable GST or HST is added to fees charged to Sellers in Canada.
15.4. You provide the tax registration details we reasonably require for invoicing and reporting.
16.1. You are responsible for the part and its condition, for the accuracy of your listing, for the lawfulness of the sale, for meeting your obligations to the Buyer, and for any claim arising from the part you sold.
16.2. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of Sellers, for the quality or safety of parts listed by others, or for disputes between a Buyer and a Seller outside the funds we hold.
16.3. The Platform is provided on an "as is" basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, but we take reasonable steps to keep the service running.
16.4. We are not liable for failures caused by third parties — hosting, payment processors, carriers — or by events outside our control.
16.5. You will indemnify us against claims, fines, losses and costs arising from your breach of these Terms or of any law, including claims by Buyers and by regulators.
16.6. Our total liability to you, for any cause, is limited to the commission you actually paid us in the three months before the claim arose. Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit.
17.1. We may restrict, suspend or close your account where you breach these Terms, where Buyers raise well-founded complaints, where your Balance is in arrears, where you repeatedly miss shipping times, where we detect fraud, or where the information you gave us is false.
17.2. On suspension for breach, commission already charged is not refunded and your listings may be hidden or removed.
17.3. You may stop selling at any time. There is no minimum term and no exit fee. Obligations already owed to Buyers and to us survive.
17.4. Money we hold for you at that point is paid out after commission, fees, refunds and open disputes have been settled.
17.5. Your listings and the data you uploaded remain yours. You may request an export of your catalog at any time.
18.1. By uploading photographs, descriptions and other material you confirm that you hold the rights to them and that they do not infringe anyone else's.
18.2. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use that material to display, promote and advertise your parts on the Platform and in the Platform's marketing channels, including shopping feeds. The licence ends when the listing is removed, except for copies already distributed to third-party channels.
18.3. The site, its design, code, database and branding remain ours. You may not copy or reuse them without permission.
19.1. We handle personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and our Privacy Policy.
19.2. Your business name, location and contact details are shown to Buyers so they can ask about your parts.
19.3. When you receive a Buyer's details in order to fulfil an Order, you become independently responsible for that information under applicable privacy law and may use it only to complete that Order. You may not add Buyers to marketing lists without their consent.
20.1. Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control: natural disasters, war, acts of government, failures of power, telecommunications or payment systems, and similar events.
20.2. The affected party notifies the other within a reasonable time.
21.1. The parties agree that records, notices and actions taken through the Dashboard and by email have the same effect as signed documents, in accordance with Ontario's Electronic Commerce Act, 2000.
21.2. Actions taken under your account are treated as taken by you.
21.3. The email address you register with, and messages in your Dashboard, are the official channels for notices under this agreement.
22.1. This agreement takes effect when you accept it and continues until either party ends it.
22.2. We may amend these Terms by publishing a new version on this page. Material changes take effect 30 days after publication; other changes take effect on publication.
22.3. Continuing to sell after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop selling and close your account.
22.4. This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. The parties submit to the courts of Ontario, without prejudice to any mandatory rights you have under the law of your own jurisdiction.
22.5. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest of the agreement continues in force.
22.6. These Terms, together with the plans page and the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us regarding selling on the Platform.
