Signatures.au Quality Standards

At Signatures.au, ensuring quality for buyers is our top priority. The collectibles and assets listed on our platform are owned by sellers, and we ask them to thoroughly inspect their items, identifying any imperfections that are typical for their age and condition. While we strive to document these imperfections, not every detail may be captured in photographs, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy, quality, safety, or legality of any item listed on the platform. The details reported by the seller are included in the listing exactly as provided to us.

Roadworthy and Safety Standards

For vehicles, Signatures.au will indicate whether the seller is offering a full and complete Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) test prior to settlement of a purchase, unless otherwise specified. Buyers may request a pre-purchase inspection to ensure that the item presents as advertised and that no underlying issues are hidden. We can assist in arranging a third-party pre-purchase inspection to avoid any bias. Any disputes arising from a sale transaction must be resolved directly between the buyer and seller. While we may assist in dispute resolution, Signatures.au is not responsible for the outcome.

Please refer to relevant state authority laws, including Victorian Roadworthy rules, New South Wales RTA Roadworthy rules, and Queensland Transport Roadworthy rules.
