Vehicle Advertisements and Pricing Guidelines
Effective: Oct. 1, 2024
Thanks for your interest in vehicle listings on Belize Auto Mall. To help us create a level playing field for consumers and dealer or private sellers, we created the following guidelines for vehicle advertising and pricing for display on the Belize Auto Mall websites, mobile and other online applications and products and services (collectively, the “Belize Auto Mall Sites”).
If the advertisements or prices do not adhere to these guidelines, or if vehicles are mispriced (e.g.: typos – $3,000 asking price for vehicle with $30,000 MSRP), Belize Auto Mall reserves the right to take any action, at any time, that Belize Auto Mall deems appropriate, in Belize Auto Mall’s sole discretion and opinion, pursuant to belizeautomall.com Visitor Agreement. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, removing one or more vehicle listings, hiding prices from display in a vehicle listing, removing badges or pricing comparisons from listings (e.g.: Price Advisor, Good/Great Price). Belize Auto Mall will provide notice to dealer or private sellers or Private Seller and allow them the opportunity to correct the advertisement or pricing, and such corrections will be displayed on the Belize Auto Mall Sites.
Vehicle Advertisements
Only a single vehicle can be advertised per listing/vehicle detail page.
Vehicle must be identified accurately by year, make, model, trim and equipment.

All charges and fees for any options/aftermarket equipment already installed by dealer or private seller must be included in price.
Belize Auto Mall may audit the dealer or private seller’s site, use third-party sites and pricing, complaints and other information as a basis for its decisions and actions related to dealer or private seller advertisements and prices.
In addition to these Guidelines, dealer or private sellers must comply with all applicable Government, and local laws, regulations, rules, and ordinances, including, but not limited to those relating to false or deceptive advertising, motor vehicle advertising.
