Terms & Conditions

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully as they contain important information about your rights and obligations when purchasing or selling a private registration through REG HEAVEN LTD.

 

Our registered office is at 27A Warren Drive, Wallasey, Merseyside, CH45 0JW. Our company registration number is 13175875.

  

Buying And Selling A Registration:

1. Ownership and Display Rights

Purchasing a registration does not transfer ownership; instead, you or your chosen nominee gain the exclusive right to display it, as per government regulations.

2. Availability & Pricing

All registrations are subject to availability. We cannot control third-party withdrawals or DVLA transfer failures. Prices and availability on our site may change without notice.

3. Order Acceptance

No order is confirmed until we verify both availability and pricing.

4. Cancellation & Refund Policy

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, payments—partial or full—are non-refundable if the buyer chooses not to proceed or fails to provide required documentation. Personalized services commence immediately, and there's no cancellation or "cooling-off" period.

5. Pre-owned Registrations

Cancellation of pre-owned registration applications is not permitted.

6. Payment Methods

  • Standard-priced registrations: Card payments accepted online.

  • Trade-reduced sales: Bank transfer only.
    A buyer is confirmed once full or partial payment is received via bank transfer, or full payment via card.

7. Unavailable Registrations

If a registration becomes unavailable after a deposit is taken, a full refund will be made.

8. Payment & Documentation Deadlines

Final payment must be completed within 14 days of the initial part‑payment (currently £200); failure to do so forfeits the deposit and invalidates the transaction. Full vehicle documentation must be submitted within 21 days of the initial payment.

9. Transaction Failures

If the transaction fails through no fault of the buyer, a full refund will be issued via bank transfer.

10. Regulatory Changes & Revocations

We are not liable if the DVLA or government revokes or changes the entitlement to a registration due to legal or policy changes.

11. Legal Display Requirements

Registration plates must be displayed correctly and not manipulated to make a vehicle appear younger. Ensure your chosen registration is legally compliant.

12. Transfer Delays

Transfers—especially from donor vehicles—may take up to 12 weeks, depending on DVLA timelines. We are not responsible for related delays or resulting losses.

13. Price Matching

We have a price‑matching policy.

14. Limitation of Liability

Our liability is strictly limited to issuing full refunds.

15. Price Variability

All prices are subject to change without notice.

16. Age-related Compliance

You may not use a registration that makes the vehicle appear younger than its actual age—responsibility lies with the purchaser.

17. Eligible Vehicles

Only vehicles that are taxed and testable are eligible for registration transfers.

18. Transfer Services & Fees

  • We offer a managed transfer service for £20, paid by the purchaser.

  • If you manage the transfer yourself, the contract completes when we confirm dispatch of the retention certificate.

19. Required Documentation for Transfer

If we’re handling the transfer, you must supply your V5C log book to enable it.

20. Accuracy of Information

We rely on the vehicle information you provide. We cannot be held responsible for errors arising from incorrect submissions.

21. Commission-Based Selling

We sell your plate on a commission basis without charging separately for advertising or promotion.

22. Termination of Agreement

Either party may cancel the selling agreement at any time without cost. We may also withdraw from advertising at our discretion.

23. Selling on Behalf of Others

When acting as broker, we manage the entire transaction. Vendors must send V750/V778 documents to our office (email copies accepted to expedite). A £20 service charge applies to the purchaser.

24. Uncertain Sale Duration

We cannot guarantee how long a registration will take to sell.

25. Vendor Payments

Once assigned to the purchaser’s vehicle, we will transfer vendor funds within 7 working days by bank transfer.

26. Force Majeure

We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our control or errors from third parties.

27. Statutory Rights

These terms do not override your statutory rights. Together, they form the contractual basis between you and us.

28. Valuation Disclaimer

Vendors must agree the selling price for their registration, and buyers should understand that neither current nor future values are guaranteed.

29. Physical Number Plates

There are plans for the future but at present, we do not supply physical number plates.
