Terms of Service

Last updated: 25 September 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of LorryYard ("LorryYard," "we," "us"), a marketplace for buying and selling cars, motorbikes, buses, trucks, tricycles and go-karts in Ghana, available at lorryyard.com. By creating an account or using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use LorryYard.

1. Who can use LorryYard

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract to create an account or list a vehicle. You're responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for everything that happens under your account.

2. What LorryYard is — and isn't

LorryYard is a platform that connects buyers and sellers. We are not a party to any sale, we do not own, inspect, or hold title to any vehicle listed on the site, and we don't guarantee the condition, legality, ownership, or accuracy of any listing. Every transaction — negotiating, meeting, inspecting, paying, and transferring ownership — happens directly between the buyer and seller, off-platform.

As a safety practice, we recommend meeting in a public place, inspecting a vehicle in person, and never sending money in advance of seeing it — the same guidance shown on every listing page.

3. Listings

If you list a vehicle, you confirm that:

  • you own the vehicle or are authorized to sell it;
  • the information you provide — including the VIN, specifications, price, condition, and photos — is accurate and not misleading;
  • the vehicle is legally allowed to be sold and isn't stolen, salvaged in a way you haven't disclosed, or otherwise misrepresented; and
  • photos are of the actual vehicle being sold.

Every listing is tied to a real VIN, decoded automatically where possible. VIN and vehicle-history data comes from third-party sources (the U.S. NHTSA vPIC database and, for a paid VIN Checker report, CarsXE) and is provided as-is — we don't guarantee it's complete or error-free, and it isn't a substitute for inspecting the vehicle yourself.

We may remove a listing, suspend an account, or refuse a listing at our discretion — including for inaccurate information, prohibited items, reported fraud, or violations of these Terms.

4. Fees and payments

Some actions on LorryYard involve a fee, charged through Paystack:

  • a listing fee per vehicle, which keeps the listing live for one year and is renewed yearly at the same price (or a free access code assigned by an admin);
  • a listing fee per part, which keeps the part listing live for one year and is renewed yearly at the same price, however many units you have in stock;
  • optional featured/boosted placement for an active listing;
  • optional paid VIN Checker reports (vehicle history, lien & theft, recall status).

LorryYard doesn't receive or store your card details — Paystack processes payments directly and is subject to its own terms and privacy practices.

You can also top up a wallet balance and spend it on listing fees instead of paying per listing. Wallet top-ups have a minimum amount, are spendable only on the listing fee (not VIN Checker reports or featured placement), and are not refundable or withdrawable as cash. Fees already paid — whether by card, wallet, or access code — are generally non-refundable once the underlying service (a listing going live, a report being generated, a boost being applied) has been delivered.

4a. Parts listings

Parts and accessories can be listed for sale. When you list a part you state which vehicles it fits — that statement is yours, and you are responsible for it being accurate. Once a part listing is live, its name, category, brand, part number, condition and compatible-vehicle list cannot be changed; create a new listing instead. You can change the price, stock quantity, description and photos at any time. As with vehicles, LorryYard does not take payment for the part itself — you and the buyer settle that directly.

You may not list:

  • stolen parts, or parts you do not have the right to sell (including catalytic converters and other parts of unknown origin);
  • counterfeit or imitation parts presented as genuine, or safety-critical parts you know to be unsafe (for example airbags and brake components that are damaged or fake);
  • parts whose compatibility you have not reasonably checked, or listings that claim to fit vehicles they do not fit;
  • anything illegal to sell in Ghana.

We may remove a part listing at our discretion, including after a report that it does not fit the vehicles listed. Fees already paid are generally non-refundable.

5. Verified businesses

A business can request a verification badge and a public storefront page by submitting its details for review. Verification is granted at our discretion and can be revoked if the information provided turns out to be false or the account violates these Terms.

6. Reviews and messages

Reviews must reflect a genuine interaction with the seller and can't be fake, incentivized, or posted to harass someone. Messages between buyers and sellers should stay on-topic and respectful. We may remove content or restrict an account that violates this.

7. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

  • list a vehicle you don't own or aren't authorized to sell;
  • post false, misleading, or duplicate listings;
  • use the site to scam, harass, or defraud another user;
  • scrape, copy, or reuse listing data at scale without permission;
  • attempt to bypass payment, verification, or moderation systems; or
  • use LorryYard for anything illegal under Ghanaian law.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of the photos, descriptions, and other content you post. By posting it, you give LorryYard a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and promote it on the platform (including in link previews and, for featured listings, off-platform promotion) for as long as your listing or content remains active.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, misuses the platform, or poses a risk to other users. You can stop using LorryYard at any time; some records (like payment and invoice history) may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business records after your account is closed.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

LorryYard is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that any listing, VIN report, or user is accurate or trustworthy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, LorryYard isn't liable for any loss arising from a transaction between users, a vehicle's condition or history, or reliance on information provided by a third-party data source. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the fees you paid us in the 6 months before the claim arose.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use LorryYard after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ghana.
