1. Names.
The names “Wurst Motors”, “Würst Motors”, and “Nikko Motors” are registration-pending trademarks of Petr V Nikonov, a Sole Proprietorship of New Jersey, who is also the owner of this website. Hereinafter, when we refer to “Wurst Motors”, “We”, or “Us”, we refer to the owner of this website. When we refer to “You” we mean you as the user of this website and/or a receiver of services provided by us.
In this Policy, we use the word “car” to describe the object that you are going to buy with our help as the most common object that our services are related to. However, this definition should be understood widely, and when we say a “car” we actually mean a “car, motorcycle, boat, or any other object, property, or rights, that you may want to purchase with our help or any kind of our involvement”.

2. Licenses.
We are not a car dealership in its legal meaning and we don’t hold a car dealer’s license. The scope of services we provide does not include services or actions requiring a special license of a car dealer. We are also not a customs broker or a customs agent and we are not an attorney in law.
From the legal point of view, we provide you with informational and organizational services to the point that does not require any special license, permit, or approval. We also represent you on the basis of a power of attorney in some particular cases not requiring a professional licensed representation in the United States and/or in the country where such a representation takes place.
All services that require a special license, permit, or government approval will be rendered by providers who duly obtained such license, permit, or approval, and we just act as your representative entitled to purchase such services on your behalf on the basis of a power of attorney.

3. The Refundable Deposit.
To start working with us, we require you to pay us a deposit upfront (hereinafter – the “Deposit”). The amount of the Deposit is usually US$ 1,000 (One thousand US dollars). But in some cases (for example – if you want to buy a very rare or very expensive car), we may require a greater amount of the Deposit. In any case, the decision regarding the amount of the Deposit in each particular case is individual and made by us. If you don’t agree with the amount of the Deposit proposed by us, we will reject your request for our services.
You may pay the Deposit by wire transfer, or by sending us a cashier check. You may also pay the Deposit through PayPal, but in this case, the amount of the Deposit will be increased by 5%. The payment of the Deposit is considered complete when the whole amount of the Deposit is cleared in our bank.
We will keep the Deposit during the whole period of providing services to you. If we find a car for you and you purchase the car, we will use the Deposit as a partial payment of our Commission.
You are free to cancel our cooperation with you at any moment before you buy the car found by us at your request. If you decide to cancel our services, you shall inform us about this by email. We will send you the full amount of the Deposit by a cashier check within 7 (Seven) business days after receiving your cancelation request (if another payment method is not agreed upon between you and us additionally).
To avoid any misunderstandings, from the moment when you buy the car found by us, the Deposit becomes non-refundable and will be used as partial payment for our Commission.

4. Our Commission.
You shall pay us a commission for our services provided to you (hereinafter – the “Commission”).
We define the amount of the Commission individually for any case before starting the search of each particular car. In any case, you will know the size of the Commission before you pay us the Deposit and we start to provide our services, and this size of the Commission will not change during the process of buying the car and delivering it to you.
Usually, our Commission is equal to 10% of the purchase price of the car in the country of origin but not less than US$ 2,000 (Two thousand US dollars).
So, just as a theoretic example, if you buy a car for 40,000 euros, our Commission will be 4,000 euros, and if you buy a car for 5,000 euros, our Commission will be 2,000 US dollars.
But for rare and/or expensive cars, the size of our Commission may vary and be higher or lower depending on the amount of real work required for finding, purchasing, and shipping the car.
In any case, the decision on the size of the Commission will be made solely by us and individually for each case. You have the right to agree or disagree with our proposal on the Commission but if you don’t agree, we will not start to provide you with our services.
To avoid any misunderstanding, if you buy several cars with our help, the size of our Commission will be decided by us separately for each particular car. The size of our Commission in previous cooperation with you or any other person or company may not be the base for the size of our Commission in any future cooperation with you or anyone else.
If you don’t actually buy a car with our help, you don’t have an obligation to pay us the Commission.
Your obligation to pay us the Commission in full appears at the moment when you buy a car found by us. To avoid any doubt, we understand it as a moment when you (or any other third party entitled by you) transfer the amount of money equal to the agreed purchase price of the car to the seller (or any other third party entitled by the seller).
In case of buying the car outside the United States of America with the intention to import it into the USA, you shall pay us the amount of the Commission in full before the moment of the arrival of the car into the first seaport or airport on the territory of the USA. Your car will not be unloaded and the customs clearance will not begin until the amount of the Commission is received by us in full and cleared by our bank.
In case of buying the car in the United States of America with the intention to export it from the USA, you shall pay us the amount of the Commission in full before the start of the shipping of the car into the agreed seaport or airport on the territory of the USA. Your car will not be loaded to a shipping truck until the amount of the Commission is received by us in full and cleared by our bank.

5. Eligibility of Cars for Importing into the United States.
According to the current US laws, you can legally import into the United States the following types of cars (in addition to cars specifically manufactured and certified for the US market):
- Vehicles 25 years old or older providing that they are not heavily modified (particularly regarding the engine) and the engine hasn’t been replaced. Documentary confirmation of the date of the manufacturing or the date of the first registration may be required.
- Vehicles younger than 25 years “deemed to be of unusual historical or technological significance” being imported for “show and display” purposes only. Usually, eligible vehicles should be produced in a number less than 500 units. When a vehicle is imported for purposes of show or display, it cannot be driven in excess of 2,500 miles per year.
- Vehicles younger than 25 years that are specially modified by an officially-approved organization to comply with US regulations. Usually, this is possible only when the vehicle has a US version of the same model and new original parts may be used. This is a long and difficult process, and only very valuable cars are worth it.
- Vehicles younger than 25 years that are officially eligible for importation and included in special lists of eligible vehicles made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Usually, we work with the first category of European vehicles listed above. But we can help you with buying and importing other vehicles listed above. Each case is different and we will discuss this with you before starting our cooperation with you.

6. Inability to Find a Car.
Although we have an access to many resources providing information about cars on sale or cars that may be on sale soon, sometimes we can’t find a car meeting your expectations and requirements.
Usually, it happens when you are looking for a very specific trim level of a very rare model and/or when your budget expectations are essentially below the average market pricing for the cars you are looking for. Also, sometimes there is just a quiet time on the market, particularly within the summer vacation season (July-August).
If we are unable to find the car with the discussed and agreed requirements within 60 days from receiving your Deposit, we will have a right to terminate our cooperation with you and return you the Deposit, unless we agreed on new, modified requirements with you.

7. Risks of Payments and Frauds.
Although we always try to verify the legitimacy of the seller of the car and all parts participating in the buying process, there are always risks that the seller (or any third party) will be dishonest, and you will lose your money partly or in full. It may be the result of an intended fraud, or just any mistake, or misunderstanding, or fair wrong belief.
In any case, there is always a risk that you may lose money which you are transferring as a payment for a car that we found by your request. We do not guarantee the safety of your payments and we do not cover any of your risks of losing money.
If this happens, we will return your Deposit and we will work with local police authorities to get your money back but we don’t guarantee that this process will be successful. You don’t have to pay our Commission in this case.
You understand, assume, and accept all risks related to payments to the seller of the car and/or any third party and you hold us free from any liability related to such payments. In no case, we will be obliged to compensate you any money that you lose because of fraudulent or legit actions of the seller of the car or any other persons or companies.

8. Documentary Risks.
We will do our best to provide you with all duly formalized documents confirming your ownership of the car that you are buying with our help. In case of any error in any document, we will do our best to correct the error and/or replace the document with the correct one.
At the same time, we do not guarantee that all the documents will be correct and enough for importing and exporting the car and registering it for road use in your country. We will do our best but we won’t be liable if we fail.
You understand, assume, and accept all risks related to any documents related to the car that you are buying and you hold us free from any liability related to such documents. In no case, we will be obliged to pay you any compensation related to any error or insufficiency in the documents related to the car.

9. Transportation Risks.
The car that you are buying with our help will be transported for a long distance and such transportation will involve many transporters and handlers on the land, at ports, in the sea, and, in some cases, in the air. Your car will be loaded and unloaded to vehicles and vessels several times. This, unfortunately, increases the risk of damaging the car during transportation.
We will provide you with detailed pictures showing the condition of the car before its loading to the first mean of transportation. We work with reliable transporters and shipping agents only but there is always a place for a human mistake.
We strongly recommend you obtain an insurance policy covering the full value of the car in process of its transportation. We will offer you some options before the shipping but you are free to choose any insurer and policy that you believe to be the best for you.
You understand, assume, and accept all risks related to damage to your car during its transportation from the seller’s location to your location agreed with us. In no case, we will be obliged to pay you any compensation related to any damage to the car during its transportation.
Any damage to the car during its transportation shall not decrease the amount of our Commission and shall not change your obligation to pay our Commission.

10. Exporting Risks.
We will do our best to organize the exporting of the car in a due and quick manner.
However, there is always a risk that something may go wrong and the car will be unable to export from its country of origin. Sometimes, it may be related to some government restrictions, or some court orders and restrictions, or errors in documents, or even rust on some chassis numbers, or anything else.
In case of issues appeared during the exporting process, we will do our best to work with authorities to solve these issues properly and quickly. But we never can guarantee a positive result from this effort.
In rare cases when your car is unable to be exported, we will do our best to help you to sell the car within the country for a reasonable market price. In this case, the amount of our Commission for finding this car will be decreased by 50% but you still be obliged to pay this reduced commission within 15 days from our relevant request.
You understand, assume, and accept all risks related to exporting your car from the country of its origin. In no case, we will be obliged to pay you any compensation related to any such risks.
To avoid any doubt, if you are exporting a car from the United States, our services are fully completed from the moment when the vessel with the car on board leaves the US port. We are not liable for importing the car to any other country.

11. Importing Risks (applicable only to the cars intended to be imported into the US).
We will do our best to organize the importing of your car into the United States in a due and quick manner working with a professional licensed customs broker.
However, there is always a risk that something may go wrong and the car will be unable to import it. Sometimes, it may be related to some government restrictions, or modifications of the car, or errors in documents, or rust on some numbers, or anything else.
In case of issues appeared during the importing process, we will do our best to work with authorities to solve these issues properly and quickly. But we never can guarantee a positive result from this effort.
If the car is unable to import, you will have to export it to another country or destroy it. We will do our best to find the best possible solution. To avoid any doubts, we never guarantee that a car that you are buying with our help is eligible for importation into the United States of America.
You understand, assume, and accept all risks related to the importing of your car into the US or the inability to import the car to the US. In no case, we will be obliged to pay you any compensation related to any such risks.
Any issues related to importing your car into the United States shall not decrease the amount of our Commission and shall not change your obligation to pay our Commission.

12. Condition of Cars and Warranty.
We guarantee the quality of our own services only. Everything that we tell you is what we believe in to the best of our knowledge.
If we provide a pre-purchase inspection, we will try to show you all the visible defects of the car. However, sometimes some cars have hidden defects including those which are hidden intentionally (some sellers are lying, unfortunately).
In many situations, we can arrange a professional mechanical inspection in a dealership or a professional repair facility. But this option is not always available (location and seller dependent) and sometimes even a deep professional inspection can’t find some defects.
In any case, the car that you are buying with our help you are buying on “as is” conditions and we do not provide you with any warranty regarding mechanical, electrical, structural, body, or any other condition of the car.
In most cases, you are buying a car that is 25 years old or older. In 99% of cases, it will have defects – visible or hidden. It may be something mechanical, or some electronics don’t work, or rust, or suspension issues – anything. If the car looks good at the moment of the inspection (or in pictures), it has fewer chances that the defects are crucial. But you will find some defects anyway, most likely.
We also don’t give any guarantees regarding the mileage of the car. In some cases, some sellers are faking the mileage and decreasing it. It is strictly illegal but it happens sometimes, particularly if you buy a car online, without an inspection. If we perform an inspection of the car before purchase, we will do our best to verify the mileage and find any discrepancies. But sometimes fraud is difficult to detect. So, shit happens.
You understand, assume, and accept all risks related to the condition of the car that you are buying with our help. In no case, we will be obliged to pay you any compensation related to any such risks.
Any issues related to the condition of the car shall not decrease the amount of our Commission and shall not change your obligation to pay our Commission.

13. Other Risks.
We will do our best to provide you with high-quality services and the best in the world car buying experience.
At the same time, please note that the process of trans-border (and trans-continental) buying of a car involves many people, many organizations, many stages, and, therefore, many risks – some of them are unpredictable.
We will do our best to decrease or remove these risks for you to the best of our abilities but sometimes the risks are inevitable.
In no case, our obligations or liability to you or any other person or organization shall exceed the actual amount of the Deposit that you paid to us. You indemnify us for any liability related to any of your cooperation or communications with us, direct or indirect, that exceeds the amount of the Deposit that you actually paid to us.

14. Your Payments.
In addition to the purchase price of the car and our Commission, you will probably have to pay:
- The cost of transportation of the car from its location to the port and then, to the country of destination.
- Bank’s fees related to payments and bank transfers.
- Transactional fees related to the transfer of the ownership from the seller to you.
- Export duties and fees of the exporting customs broker in the country of export.
- Port (or airport) fees in all ports (airports) the car is transported through.
- Import duties and fees of the importing customs broker in the country of importing.
- Storage fees in the ports of exporting and importing during the customs clearance.
- The cost of transportation of the car from the port of entrance to your location.
- Title and registration fees and sales tax in some states.
- Other fees and commissions related to the process of purchasing the car and bringing it to you.
Some of these payments you will make directly to the service providers, some you will pay to us and we will pay them to the final recipient on your behalf.

15. We Can Reject Anyone.
Our legal relationship with you starts at the moment when both these events have happened: (1) You have signed a service agreement with us (on paper or electronically), and (2) We have received the Deposit from you. Until both of these events happen, all our communications with you shall be considered as preliminary negotiations and discussions only and they do not create any legal rights, obligations, or consequences neither for you nor for us.
We reserve a right to reject cooperation with anyone at our own and sole discretion.
Nothing on this website, nothing in videos and articles made by us, and nothing said or written in any of our communication with you creates any legal interaction between you and us nor any legal consequences for us or for you until we both come into legal agreement as described in the first paragraph of this article.

16. We Can Terminate the Cooperation Unilaterally.
We reserve the right to unilaterally terminate any of our cooperation with you at any moment at our own and sole discretion even if we have a signed service agreement with you and/or you paid us the Deposit.
If you haven’t paid us the Deposit at the moment of such termination, the termination becomes effective immediately.
If you have paid us the Deposit at the moment of such termination but you haven’t bought a car with our help yet, we will return you the Deposit, and the termination becomes effective from the moment when we send you a check or a wire transfer with the amount of the Deposit. No Commission shall be paid to us.
If you have paid us the Deposit at the moment of such termination, and you have already bought a car with our help but the car hasn’t been loaded to a vessel yet, you shall pay our Commission in the amount equal to 50% of the Commission previously agreed with you. As soon as the Commission is paid, we shall send you all original documents for your car that we have in our possession, as well as the keys for the car, and the termination becomes effective from the moment when we send them to you.
If you have paid us the Deposit at the moment of such termination, and you have already bought a car with our help, and the car has already been loaded to a vessel, you shall pay our Commission in the amount equal to 80% of the Commission previously agreed with you. As soon as the Commission is paid, we shall send you all original documents for your car that we have in our possession, as well as the keys for the car (if we have them and they are not loaded to the vessel with the car), and the termination becomes effective from the moment when we send them to you.

17. Real Intention to Buy.
By sending us a request you confirm that you have a real intention to actually buy a car that you are requesting about with our help and hire us to perform a complex of services described on this website.
You also confirm that you have enough money in your possession to fulfill this purchase or you have a plan on how to raise the financing for this purchase. In some cases, we can inform you about available options for financing on the market but we will not give you any financial advice because we are not financial advisors of any kind.

18. Letter of Intent.
Some sellers of rare and/or expensive cars may require an obligatory Letter of Intent and/or Proof of Financing from a potential buyer even before showing the car to this buyer.
If this happens, you shall provide us with the requested documents and confirmations as soon as possible.
This does not happen often but if you are going to buy a really rare car (for example, the Ferrari F40, etc.), this may be required.

19. Power of Attorney.
You shall provide us with a Power of Attorney at our request. This Power of Attorney shall entitle us to perform actions related to purchasing and transporting your car and perform customs clearance (including interaction with shipping lines and customs brokers). This Power of Attorney must be notarized and legalized by apostil. Failure to provide us with the Power of Attorney in time will cause a delay in the delivery of your car to you and may cause a termination of our relationship with you.
We will provide you with the text of the Power of Attorney and with recommendations regarding its notarizing and legalizing when this is required.
