CHAPTER 6 BUYER SAFETY, INDEPENDENT VEHICLE INSPECTIONS, FRAUD PREVENTION & SAFE TRADING PRACTICES

76. Our Commitment to Safety

Nexus Wheels City is committed to promoting a safe, transparent and trustworthy online marketplace for buyers, sellers, dealerships and advertisers.

While we strive to maintain high standards across the Platform, Nexus Wheels City is an advertising marketplace and does not inspect, verify, certify or guarantee vehicles, sellers or buyers unless expressly stated in writing.

Users remain responsible for exercising due care and making their own informed decisions before entering into any transaction.

77. Buyer Beware

Purchasing a motor vehicle is a significant financial decision.

Before purchasing any vehicle advertised on Nexus Wheels City, buyers should conduct their own investigations and satisfy themselves that the vehicle and seller meet their expectations.

No buyer should rely solely on:

photographs;
videos;
written descriptions;
advertisements;
telephone conversations;
social media posts;
WhatsApp messages; or
statements made by a seller.

All information should be independently verified before any money changes hands.

78. Independent Vehicle Inspections

Nexus Wheels City strongly recommends that every buyer appoint an independent vehicle inspection agent before purchasing any vehicle.

An inspection should ideally include:

a mechanical inspection;
an electrical inspection;
a bodywork inspection;
paint thickness testing where appropriate;
accident damage assessment;
chassis inspection;
engine and gearbox assessment;
suspension and steering inspection;
brake inspection;
tyre condition;
diagnostic scanning using approved equipment where applicable;
verification of the VIN or chassis number;
confirmation that the vehicle matches its documentation.

An independent inspection may identify defects that are not visible from photographs or during a brief viewing.

79. Independent Inspection Agents

Inspection companies operate entirely independently of Nexus Wheels City.

Nexus Wheels City:

does not employ inspection agents;
does not appoint inspection companies;
does not certify inspection providers;
does not supervise inspection companies;
does not guarantee inspection reports;
does not receive responsibility for inspection outcomes.

Any agreement entered into between a buyer and an inspection company is solely between those parties.

Nexus Wheels City accepts no responsibility or liability for:

inspection reports;
inspection fees;
inspection recommendations;
missed defects;
inaccurate inspections;
negligent inspections;
disputes with inspection providers.

80. Verification Before Payment

Before making any payment, buyers are strongly encouraged to:

inspect the vehicle personally;
verify the seller's identity;
compare the VIN or chassis number with the registration documents;
confirm the engine number where applicable;
confirm that the vehicle has not been reported stolen;
determine whether the vehicle is subject to outstanding finance;
request available service records;
inspect roadworthy documentation where applicable;
ensure that all documentation appears genuine.

Where uncertainty exists, buyers should seek professional advice before proceeding.

81. Safe Meetings

Whenever possible, buyers and sellers should meet:

during daylight hours;
in safe public locations;
at reputable dealerships or business premises where applicable;
with another trusted person present.

Users should avoid isolated locations or situations that place their personal safety at risk.

82. Payments

Buyers should exercise caution before transferring funds.

Where reasonably possible:

avoid paying deposits before inspecting the vehicle;
confirm banking details directly with the seller;
retain proof of payment;
avoid cash transactions involving large amounts;
be cautious of requests for urgent payment.

Nexus Wheels City is not responsible for payment arrangements agreed between buyers and sellers.

83. Vehicle Documentation

Before completing a purchase, buyers should carefully examine all available documentation.

This may include:

registration certificate;
licence documentation;
proof of ownership where appropriate;
finance settlement documentation;
service records;
maintenance history;
warranty documentation where applicable.

The buyer remains responsible for satisfying themselves that all documentation is authentic.

84. Fraud Awareness

Users should remain alert for possible warning signs of fraud, including but not limited to:

unusually low prices;
pressure to make immediate payment;
refusal to allow inspection;
refusal to provide documentation;
inconsistent vehicle information;
altered photographs;
suspicious payment requests;
requests to communicate only outside the Platform;
false claims regarding ownership.

The presence of one or more warning signs should prompt further investigation before proceeding.

85. No Guarantee by Nexus Wheels City

Nexus Wheels City does not guarantee:

that a seller is genuine;
that a buyer is genuine;
that a vehicle exists;
that a vehicle is roadworthy;
that a vehicle has not previously been damaged;
that a vehicle has not previously been stolen or written off;
the accuracy of any inspection;
the financial standing of any party;
that a transaction will be completed.

Users remain responsible for conducting their own due diligence.

86. Reporting Fraud

Users who suspect fraud, scams or unlawful activity should report the matter to Nexus Wheels City as soon as reasonably possible.

Reports should include, where available:

seller details;
vehicle details;
listing reference;
screenshots;
supporting documents;
communication history.

Reports may be submitted to:

Email: nexuswheelscity@nexuswheels.city

Submission of a report does not guarantee that Nexus Wheels City will remove a listing or take a particular course of action. Each report will be considered on its own merits.

87. Investigations

Where Nexus Wheels City reasonably believes that fraud or unlawful activity may have occurred, we may:

request additional information;
temporarily suspend listings;
suspend user accounts;
remove advertisements;
suspend API access;
request supporting documentation;
cooperate with insurers;
cooperate with financial institutions;
cooperate with law enforcement authorities;
preserve relevant records where required by law.

Nothing in this clause obliges Nexus Wheels City to investigate every complaint.

88. No Mediation Obligation

Nexus Wheels City is not obliged to mediate disputes between:

buyers and sellers;
dealers and customers;
inspection companies and buyers;
finance providers and consumers;
advertisers and users.

Although we may, at our discretion, assist with communication where appropriate, we are under no legal obligation to resolve private disputes.

Users should communicate respectfully and honestly.

The Platform must not be used to:

threaten others;
harass users;

send misleading communications;
solicit confidential information dishonestly;

Users should exercise caution before sharing personal information.

Information such as:

identity numbers;
banking details;
passwords;
PINs;
one-time passwords (OTPs);
confidential financial information,

should only be shared where necessary and through secure methods.

Nexus Wheels City will never ask users to disclose passwords or one-time passwords by email, telephone or messaging services.

91. Consumer Responsibility

Every user acknowledges that they remain responsible for making their own commercial decisions.

The decision to:

inspect a vehicle;
appoint an inspection company;
obtain finance;
obtain insurance;
negotiate a purchase price;
enter into a sale agreement,

rests solely with the buyer and seller.

Nexus Wheels City shall not be responsible for decisions made by users based on information published on the Platform.

92. Limitation of Liability Relating to Transactions

To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, Nexus Wheels City shall not be liable for any loss, damage, expense or claim arising from:

inaccurate descriptions supplied by sellers;
fraudulent transactions;
theft;
payment disputes;
inspection reports;
financing arrangements;
insurance disputes;
title disputes;
transfer delays;
registration delays;
actions or omissions of buyers, sellers or third parties.

93. Reservation of Rights

suspend or terminate user accounts;
immediately remove vehicle listings;
revoke dealer integrations;
disable API access;
refuse future access to the Platform;
preserve records for evidentiary purposes;
