🏅 EVL WARRANTY BADGE SYSTEM
🥇
GOLD BADGE — FULL COVERAGE
Vehicle is within factory bumper-to-bumper AND powertrain warranty. Typically under 3 years / 36,000 miles. Any covered defect = OEM fixes it free.
WHY DEALERS BID HIGH: Zero mechanical risk. Cracked block? Factory covers it.
🥈
SILVER BADGE — POWERTRAIN ONLY
Basic warranty expired. Powertrain warranty still active. Typically under 5 years / 60,000 miles. Engine, transmission, drivetrain covered. Accessories AS-IS.
WHY DEALERS BID CONFIDENT: Engine protection remains. AC/stereo/electronics = buyer risk.
🥉
BRONZE BADGE — AS-IS CERTIFIED
All factory coverage expired. Vehicle sold strictly AS-IS. EVL CERTification confirms clean title and keys. No mechanical warranties of any kind.
WHY DEALERS BID: EVL CERTIFIED = no title surprises. Price reflects condition.
🛡️
EVL CERTIFIED — ALL UNITS
Applied to every vehicle on the platform regardless of badge tier. Confirms: Clean title API verified, physical keys confirmed, title photos on file, no active liens, name match verified.
THE FLOOR: Title is clean. No fraud. No surprises on paperwork.
⚖️ TITLE DEFECT CLAIMS — DIRECT TO SELLING DEALER (ID)
✅ VALID TITLE DEFECT CLAIM GROUNDS
• Title issues not disclosed in EVL CERT
• Salvage brand discovered after sale
• Active lien not cleared per EVL CERT
• VIN mismatch from platform listing
• Odometer rollback confirmed by OBD
❌ NOT VALID — BUYER ACCEPTS RISK
• "I can't resell it" — market risk
• Mechanical failures (cracked block, AC)
• "I overbid" — buyer's remorse
• Transport cosmetic damage (separate claim)
• Market value changes after sale
Title defect claim window: 24 hours after delivery. All platform disputes governed under Collin County, Texas law. If a dealer files action against EVL and court dismisses based on platform neutrality, dealer pays EVL's full legal fees. Title defects only. All mechanical conditions are buyer's risk as disclosed at time of bidding. EVL is a technology coordinator — not a party to the transaction.

⚖️ PLATFORM COMPLIANCE FRAMEWORK
🚫 RESTRICTED STATES — TRADE-IN NOT ACCEPTED
The following states have DMV processing timelines exceeding EVL's 30-day EVL certification window. Vehicles registered in these states cannot be submitted as trade-ins. Customers may still purchase vehicles through EVL without a trade-in.
🚫 CALIFORNIA — 30-45 Day Processing 🚫 NEW YORK — In-Person Required 🚫 NEW JERSEY — 4-8 Week Backlog 🚫 ILLINOIS — Extended Processing
Customers in these states are directed to CarMax or Carvana who have dedicated title processing teams able to handle extended DMV timelines.

✅ EVL LEGAL IDENTITY — WHAT WE ARE / ARE NOT
EVL IS:
✅ A technology platform (SaaS)
✅ The consumer's authorized technology agent
✅ An auction coordinator (marketplace)
✅ A data verification service
✅ A subscription tool for licensed dealers
EVL IS NOT:
❌ A licensed motor vehicle dealer
❌ A licensed auctioneer
❌ A broker or facilitator
❌ A party to any transaction
❌ Responsible for vehicle condition
Platform operates under the same legal framework as eBay Motors — a technology marketplace connecting sellers and buyers. All transactions are between the consumer (seller) and licensed dealer (buyer). EVL's name appears nowhere on title, bill of sale, or financing documents. EVL charges SaaS subscription and coordination fees — not transaction commissions.
