Terms of Service
The rules for using Car Boot Directory. Please read them together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer.
1. Acceptance of these terms
By using Car Boot Directory (carbootdirectory.co.uk), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, form a binding agreement between you and Car Boot Directory.
2. About our service
Car Boot Directory is an online directory of UK car boot sales, markets and boot fairs. We are a directory, not an event organiser — we do not run, host or manage any of the sales listed. Our service includes:
- Hand-checked listings with times, prices and maps
- Search and near me functionality
- User-submitted listings, reviews and reports
- Guides and articles about car booting
We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the service at any time.
3. User submissions
You do not need an account to use the site. When you add a sale, leave a review or report a problem, you must provide accurate information. We check submissions by hand before publishing and may decline, edit or remove any submission at our discretion.
4. User content (listings, reviews, photos)
When you submit a listing, review or photo, you confirm that you have the right to share that content, you grant us permission to display, edit and promote it on the website, and you agree that it is accurate and not misleading. We may review, edit or remove any user content that breaches these Terms.
5. Prohibited uses
You agree not to:
- Submit false or misleading listings, reviews or reports
- Post offensive, defamatory or illegal content
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) without our written permission
- Attempt to hack, overload or interfere with the website
- Use the site for spam or commercial advertising without our consent
6. Intellectual property
All original content on the website — design, text, logos and compiled listing data — belongs to Car Boot Directory. You may not copy or reuse it without permission. Map data is provided by third parties under their own licences.
7. Accuracy of information
We hand-check every listing, but car boot sale details — dates, times, entry fees and pitch prices — can change at short notice. Always confirm important details directly with the organiser before travelling. See our Disclaimer for full details.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from inaccurate or outdated information, cancelled or changed sales, your visit to any listed location, or technical issues with the website. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under the law of England and Wales.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The new version will be posted here with an updated date. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the new Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
