Sellers Service

These Terms & Conditions are specific to selling personalised registration marks through Big Reg Limited (the Company) and should be read in conjunction with our general Terms & Conditions available on our website.

Your personal statement: In order to use the Big Reg Ltd ‘sellers‘ service, I agree and understand that: -

1. I am at least 18 years of age and I am the owner, or I am acting with the full knowledge and consent of the owner, of the rights to the vehicle registration mark that I have instructed Big Reg Ltd to advertise and sell on my behalf.
2. I understand that Big Reg Ltd are unable to guarantee how long my registration number will take to sell.
3. I understand that I can set my own asking price for my registration mark when selling. But should the company feel that my asking price is not realistic, they reserve the right not to publish my registration mark for sale, or to withdraw it from sale at any time.
4. If my full asking price is achieved from a buyer who is ready and willing to pay, then I instruct Big Reg Ltd to automatically strike a sales contract on my behalf and consider my registration mark as 'sold' through them, without referring to me.
5. If Big Reg Ltd receive a realistic offer from a prospective buyer for my registration mark, it will be my choice if I wish to accept the offer. Once I have accepted such an offer verbally or otherwise, I instruct the company to automatically strike a sales contract on my behalf and consider my registration mark as 'sold' through the Company.
6. Once a sale has been confirmed at my agreed price, I give authorisation for Big Reg Ltd to act as a broker between both parties and manage the sales transaction. I will be compelled by law to complete the contracted sale by supplying proof of entitlement within 7 days and valid original documentation for the transfer within 3 weeks (unless otherwise agreed).
7. I will send all original documentation in the envelope supplied by Big Reg Ltd and I will use the Royal Mail Special Delivery Service to send it to the Big Reg Ltd office address.
8. I will be paid by bank transfer once Big Reg Ltd has been advised by the DVLA that the transfer or assignment to the new owner has been successfully completed.
9. I understand that Big Reg Ltd are unable to pay me for the registration number until it has been transferred out of my name/address (change of ownership). I understand that Big Reg Ltd will not pay upfront for the registration mark.
10. Once my registration mark is thus considered as 'sold', the Sales Service Fee normally becomes payable to the company by the buyer, but if I should then change my mind, I will be liable to settle this fee, as per the illustration below.
11. I agree that correspondence can be sent to the registered owner at the address listed with DVLA on the most recent government documentation. It is a legal requirement that the DVLA is kept updated with vehicle documentation addresses and for your own safety we always confirm that the owners/controllers of registration marks are located at the address printed on government documents, to safeguard you against fraud.
12. Upon receiving a contact from Big Reg Ltd advising me of a party expressing interest in my registration number, I will not attempt to increase the price of the mark at any point whilst the enquiry is still active i.e. within 14 days of first contact.
13. It is my duty to inform Big Reg Ltd in a timely fashion of any changes to the price and availability of the registration mark(s) I am advertising. If I fail to do this and Big Reg Ltd receive an enquiry for my registration, I will be obliged to go ahead at the current asking price. If I decide to increase my price once I have been notified that someone is interested in my registration then I understand that my registration mark will be removed from sale and I will not be able to list any future registrations for sale through Big Reg Ltd.
14. It is my duty to inform Big Reg Ltd if the registration mark(s) is the property of a VAT-registered person or business so that the correct taxation may be applied before any offer for sale is accepted. If such notification is received after the sale deal is struck but before I receive my funds then I understand that the subsequent VAT liability will be taken from the balance due to me before the monies are transferred. If I completely fail to advise Big Reg Ltd of the correct liability, then I will make good the VAT payment to HM Revenue and Customs on their behalf, in a timely fashion, thereby preserving their margins and exonerating them of any error.
15. Big Reg Ltd will contact me from time to time to ensure my details are accurate and up to date. If I fail to reply to such emails or calls then the offer of free advertising will be withdrawn without further notice.
16. Big Reg Ltd will not entertain any claims for loss, especially those due to the failure of any buyer to perform their side of the contract, those caused by the failure of any electrical or telecommunications equipment, or those that are the result of the government refusing the registration mark's transfer/assignment for any reason. I will promptly make good any claim for losses suffered by Big Reg Ltd should I change my mind or fail to supply the registration(s) after accepting a contractual offer and agreeing to sell my registration mark(s) through them. (See our Cost and Loss recovery fees detailed below.)
17. It is my responsibility to carry out the instructions of the vehicle licensing authority (DVLA) and, if required, to arrange for new number plates to be manufactured and displayed on my vehicle, in compliance with the law.
18. It is my responsibility to advise my vehicle insurers of any change to my vehicle registration mark once the sale and transfer is completed.
19. If Big Reg Ltd suspects that I am being dishonest or uncooperative in any way then the Company reserves the right to remove from their website any registration marks which I have for sale before advising its trusted business associates of their experiences with me.
20. This is a completely free sellers service provided that I keep my side of the agreement and comply with the Seller Terms and Conditions mentioned above and the general Terms and Conditions within the Big Reg Ltd website.

Please note: This is a completely free sellers service, however, if we find you a buyer and you agree to sell but then subsequently change your mind or fail to supply us the required transfer documents within the agreed time scale, you will be required to pay our Sales Service Fee (normally paid by the buyer) as shown below:

Fees must be paid within 14 days of notification from us.
