Vehicle sellers may enlist CarSwitch DMCC services to aide in the sale of their vehicles. An up-front fee for services rendered by CarSwitch DMCC applies plus VAT (Value Added Tax), and CarSwitch DMCC only commits to providing these services upon receiving full payment of this up-front fee. These services may include one vehicle inspection conducted by an agent representing CarSwitch DMCC, advertising of the vehicle on CarSwitch.com and other online portals for a period of six months, collecting phone calls of prospective buyers, arranging test drives between the seller and prospective buyers, and providing guidance in the transfer of ownership in accordance with the laws of the UAE, during official working hours of CarSwitch DMCC.

Any prospective buyer brought to the registered seller’s attention by any CarSwitch DMCC representative, is considered a CarSwitch DMCC prospective buyer. Upon the identification of a prospective buyer, the agreement on a vehicle sale price between this prospective buyer and registered seller, and transfer of ownership from the registered seller to the CarSwitch prospective buyer or the collection of a monetary deposit by CarSwitch DMCC from the CarSwitch prospective buyer to reserve the vehicle until the transfer of ownership is complete, a success based fee owed by the registered seller to CarSwitch DMCC applies plus VAT (Value Added Tax). This success based fee continues to be owed by the registered seller to CarSwitch DMCC if the registered seller choses to no longer transfer ownership to the CarSwitch prospective buyer.

Prospective buyers may approach CarSwitch DMCC to purchase a vehicle from CarSwitch.com or other channels. A vehicle is only considered to be reserved for this prospective buyer once a monetary deposit is collected in full by CarSwitch DMCC with the agreement of the registered seller.

This monetary deposit is non-refundable unless there is a material change in the condition of the vehicle from the date the prospective buyer had physically viewed the car or the buyer is not approved by at least two UAE banks for financing. In the event of a deposit refund a, an AED 500 processing fee owed by the prospective buyer to CarSwitch DMCC would apply. In the event the prospective buyer chooses to purchase a vehicle through bank financing, the registered seller commits to reserving the vehicle for the prospective buyer a period of 7 working days from the date the deposit is received by CarSwitch DMCC at which point the prospective buyer is required to provide written evidence of a UAE bank approval or rejection of the loan application. Failure of providing such evidence would result in the forfeiture of the monetary deposit paid by the prospective buyer to CarSwitch DMCC. If the prospective buyer receives loan approval by a UAE bank during this 7 working day period, the prospective buyer is required to complete the transfer of ownership process with reasonable cooperation from the registered seller within an additional 7 working day period. Failure to do so would again result in the prospective buyers forfeiture of the monetary deposit paid by the prospective buyer to CarSwitch DMCC. Any refunds will be made onto the original mode of payment.
