2. Description of the Service
BABS provides vehicle sourcing, pre-purchase and pre-shipment inspections, export documentation, inland transport, sea freight (RoRo and container), and related logistics coordination. We work with third-party partners including shipping lines, clearing agents, auction houses, and transport providers to deliver these services.
Important Note: BABS coordinates logistics and procurement on your behalf. We are not the manufacturer or seller of vehicles in most cases. Title, condition, and legal eligibility of any vehicle remain subject to the seller, destination import rules, and the terms of your specific agreement with BABS.
3. Quotes and Service Agreements
Pricing and scope are provided through written quotes. A booking or purchase proceeds only after you review and accept the quote terms, including payment schedule, estimated timelines, and any stated exclusions.
- Quote Validity: Quotes are valid for the period stated in the quote document. Market conditions, freight rates, or currency changes may require a revised quote.
- Approval to Proceed: For auction or dealer purchases, we will not bid or buy without your explicit approval on the specific vehicle and budget.
- Third-Party Costs: Duties, taxes, port charges, and destination fees are estimates unless confirmed in writing. Final amounts are determined by customs authorities and local agents.
4. Client Responsibilities
When you engage BABS, you agree to:
- Provide accurate vehicle requirements, destination details, and contact information.
- Respond promptly to requests for approval, documentation, or payment needed to progress your shipment.
- Ensure the vehicle and transaction comply with import regulations in your destination country.
- Inspect delivery documentation on receipt and report discrepancies within a reasonable timeframe.
- Pay invoices according to the agreed schedule. Delays in payment may delay sourcing, shipping, or clearance.
5. Payment and Fees
- Service Fees: All fees are itemised in your quote. We do not charge hidden fees beyond what is disclosed before you commit.
- Deposits: Auction and sourcing services may require a deposit before we proceed. Deposit terms are stated in your quote.
- Payment Methods: We accept bank transfers and other methods listed in your invoice. Payment instructions are provided in writing.
- Third-Party Processing: Some payments may be processed through third-party providers. Their terms apply to those transactions.
6. Cancellations and Refunds
- Before Purchase: You may cancel a sourcing request before we commit funds on your behalf, subject to any costs already incurred.
- After Purchase: Once a vehicle is purchased or a shipping slot is booked, cancellation may not be possible. Refunds depend on seller, auction, or carrier policies.
- Shipping Delays: Timelines are estimates. Delays caused by weather, port congestion, customs, or force majeure do not automatically entitle you to a refund.
- Refunds: Where a refund is approved, processing times depend on the payment method and third-party parties involved.

- Use the Service for fraudulent, unlawful, or harmful purposes.
- Provide false or misleading information in quote requests, forms, or communications.
