- Completing all required transfer of ownership paperwork in your state or territory
Etricauto accepts no liability for any loss, damage or dispute arising from a transaction conducted through the Platform. If a dispute arises, you may seek assistance from your relevant state consumer tribunal (e.g. VCAT in Victoria, NCAT in NSW, SAT in WA).
