Terms of Service
Last updated: May 4, 2026
The rules of the road when using carease, written in plain language, no legal jargon traps.
1. Who we are
carease is a car-selling service operated from Blumenrain 68, 2503 Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. By using our website or any of our services, you agree to these terms. Questions? Email info@carease.ch.
2. Our service
carease lets you request a free online estimation for your vehicle, book a 1 hour drop-off at one of our centers, get a confirmed offer after inspection, and, if you accept, sell your car to our vetted buyer network. We handle the sales paperwork.
3. Estimation vs final offer
The online estimation is indicative and based on the information you provide and current market data. The binding offer is only the one confirmed in writing after the on-site inspection. You are free to accept or decline that offer with no obligation.
4. Your responsibilities
You confirm that you are the legal owner of the vehicle (or duly authorised), that the information you provide is accurate, and that the car is free of undisclosed liens, damages or legal issues. Inaccurate information may lead to a revised offer or a cancelled sale.
5. Booking and cancellation
Drop-off bookings are free. You can reschedule or cancel at any time before your slot. Repeated no-shows may lead us to limit future bookings.
6. Sale, payment and ownership transfer
Once your car is sold and the buyer has paid, we transfer the funds to your bank account within 5 days. We prepare the sale contract and manage the transfer of ownership with the buyer. Deregistration of the vehicle remains your responsibility, as by Swiss law only the owner can do it, and we ask you to take care of it once the car is sold.
7. Pricing and fees
Our online estimation, the drop-off and the on-site inspection are free of charge. There are no hidden fees: the amount you accept in the final offer is the amount you receive.
8. Liability
carease provides its service with reasonable care. To the extent permitted by Swiss law, we exclude liability for indirect or consequential damages. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
9. Intellectual property
The carease brand, website, design and content are protected by intellectual property rights and may not be copied or reused without our written consent.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as our service evolves. The latest version is always available on this page with its update date. Material changes will be communicated where reasonable.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by Swiss law. The courts of Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer protection rules.
