Terms and conditions
1. About us
The website www.mnkbil.se is run by MNK BIL AB, company reg. no. 559491-2916, Brogatan 33, 313 33 Oskarström. Phone 073-697 50 08, e-mail info@mnkbil.se. These terms apply when you register, bid, buy a car via Buy now, or buy a car at a fixed price from us.
2. Account and BankID
- To bid you log in with Swedish BankID. You must be at least 18 years old.
- The first time, you enter your phone number and e-mail. They must be correct, since we contact the winner through them.
- Your account is personal. You are responsible for all bids placed with your BankID.
- We may suspend accounts that are misused, for example fake bids or repeatedly not completing purchases.
3. How the auction works
- No fees. Registering and bidding is free.
- Starting price. Each auction starts at the starting price shown on the car's page.
- Bid step. Each bid raises the leading bid by exactly 1,000 SEK.
- Binding bids. A bid cannot be withdrawn. Only bid if you are ready to buy the car at that price.
- Extension. If a bid is placed in the last minutes, the auction is extended so everyone can respond. The time shown on the car's page always applies.
- Reserve price. A car may have a hidden minimum price. If it is not reached the car is not sold at the auction, and we may contact the highest bidder instead.
- Buy now. Some cars have a Buy now price. Choosing Buy now buys the car at that price and ends the auction immediately. Buy now disappears when bidding reaches the same level.
- Visible bids. All bids are shown in real time under aliases such as "Bidder 1". Your name and personal number are never shown to others.
- Technical problems. In case of technical errors, suspected fraud or obvious mistakes in a listing, we may pause, extend, cancel or restart an auction, or remove bids caused by the problem.
4. When you win
- A purchase agreement is formed when the auction ends with your bid as the highest (and the reserve price is reached), or when you choose Buy now.
- You receive an e-mail and we contact you, normally within one working day, about payment, change of ownership and pickup.
- Payment is due within 5 banking days after the auction ends, by bank transfer or via financing we arrange. A trade-in can be deducted by agreement.
- Pickup is at our premises in Oskarström after full payment, within 14 days after the auction ends unless agreed otherwise. Delivery to your home can be arranged at extra cost.
- Change of ownership is registered when the car is fully paid.
- If the winner does not respond or pay in time, we may offer the car to the second-highest bidder, auction it again or sell it otherwise.
5. Right of withdrawal (consumers)
If you are a consumer and buy the car at a distance – via the auction or Buy now on the website – you have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the Swedish Distance Contracts Act. The period starts the day you receive the car.
- Tell us clearly within the period, for example by e-mail to info@mnkbil.se. You can also use the Swedish Consumer Agency's standard withdrawal form.
- We refund what you paid within 14 days of receiving your notice, but may wait until we have the car back.
- You pay the cost of returning the car to us in Oskarström.
- The car may only be used as needed to establish its nature and function (such as a short test drive). If it has been used more than that or lost value, we may deduct the loss in value.
The right of withdrawal does not apply if you buy as a business, or if the purchase is completed in person at our premises.
6. Condition and complaints
- We describe each car as carefully as we can. The cars are used, and wear that is normal for the car's age and mileage is not a fault.
- You are welcome to view and test drive the car before the auction. Book a time on 073-697 50 08.
- As a consumer you have rights under the Swedish Consumer Sales Act. If the car has a fault you can complain within three years of receiving it. Tell us within a reasonable time after discovering the fault – within two months is always considered in time.
- Any warranty (for example 6 months via AutoConcept or Garantiger) is stated in the car's listing and applies in addition to your statutory rights.
7. Personal data
- MNK BIL AB is the data controller. We process your name, personal number and date of birth (from BankID), phone number, e-mail and your bids.
- The purpose is to identify bidders, check age, run auctions and sales, contact you and meet legal requirements such as bookkeeping.
- Login is handled by Idura (BankID broker). E-mails are sent via an e-mail service. We never sell your data.
- Data is kept while you have an account and then as long as the law requires (for example 7 years for bookkeeping after a purchase).
