Disclosures, Terms & Affiliate Notice

Last updated: September 3, 2025

Heads up: KeiTrader may earn a commission when you click links in our site or app and make a purchase from a third-party seller. This helps keep KeiTrader free for enthusiasts. Our content is independent; paid placements are labeled “Sponsored” or “Ad.”

What KeiTrader Is / Is Not

KeiTrader.com is strictly a listing platform: we connect buyers and sellers of imported Japanese Kei vehicles and used parts, but we do not:

  • Verify the accuracy, completeness, or legality of any listing or seller information
  • Inspect, transport, insure, or otherwise guarantee any vehicle or part
  • Facilitate payment, title transfer, or shipping logistics

By using this site or app, you acknowledge that KeiTrader and its officers, directors, employees, and agents bear no liability for any:

  • Discrepancies or inaccuracies in descriptions, photos, paperwork, or pricing
  • Misrepresentations, fraud, or other wrongful conduct by sellers or buyers
  • Loss, damage, or injury arising from use, sale, shipment, or operation of any vehicle or part

Safety & Due Diligence Reminder

  1. Independently verify the seller’s identity and the vehicle’s/part’s title or provenance.
  2. Inspect in person or arrange for a qualified third-party inspection.
  3. Confirm all import, registration, and insurance requirements in your state/country.
  4. Use secure payment methods and, where possible, escrow services.

KeiTrader encourages reasonable care and common-sense precautions in all transactions.

Affiliate Disclosure

KeiTrader participates in affiliate programs. When you click links to certain merchants (for example, parts distributors) and complete a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Compensation does not influence whether a product is included in our listings; however, the order, placement, or labeling of certain links or banners may be influenced by sponsorship (see Advertising & Sponsorship).

For transparency: affiliate tracking requires third-party cookies/SDKs or similar technologies solely for attribution. We do not pass your name, email, or other directly identifying information in affiliate URLs or beacons.

Advertising & Sponsorship

  • Sponsored placements (including banners like “Founding Partner”) are clearly labeled as Sponsored or Ad.
  • We may receive flat fees and/or cost-per-click/cost-per-action compensation for sponsored inventory.
  • Sponsorship does not involve sharing your personally identifiable information with sponsors unless you choose to provide it directly to them.

Prices, Availability, Currency & Translations

  • Prices, availability, and shipping estimates are provided by third-party sellers and can change at any time. Always confirm on the seller’s checkout page.
  • Currency conversions (e.g., JPY → USD) are estimates for convenience and may differ from your final charge.
  • Some content is translated automatically from Japanese to English. Translations may contain errors; rely on the original language source when needed.

Third-Party Sites & Tracking Technologies

Links in the site/app may open third-party websites in your device’s default browser. Third-party sites are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Affiliate attribution may use cookies, pixels, SDKs, or APIs provided by networks (for example, CJ Affiliate). We do not intentionally collect or transmit your directly identifying information via these technologies.

  • Consent: If required (e.g., EU/UK), we’ll request your consent before enabling affiliate tracking or analytics.
  • Opt-out: Adjust cookie/consent preferences on our Privacy page.
  • Children: We do not knowingly enable affiliate tracking for users under 16.

App-Specific Disclosures

  • External Browser: Product/merchant links typically open your default browser to ensure affiliate attribution works properly.
  • Notifications: With your permission, the app may send push notifications for saved searches, price drops, or messages.
  • Camera/Photos: Listing an item may request camera/library access solely to attach images.
  • Analytics & Crash Reports: We may collect anonymized usage data and crash diagnostics. See our Privacy page.

User-Generated Content

You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of your listings and messages. Do not upload infringing content, illegal items, or misleading material. We may remove content that violates our rules or applicable law and may cooperate with lawful requests from authorities.

No Professional Advice

Information provided via the site/app (including estimates, import notes, or registration guidance) is for general informational purposes only and is not legal, tax, insurance, or compliance advice. Consult qualified professionals for your situation.
