MotorCircle discretion
MotorCircle may remove or suspend a listing where it reasonably believes the listing creates a legal, safety, fraud or reputational risk. Removal does not prevent MotorCircle from preserving records needed for disputes, fraud prevention or legal obligations.
These are MotorCircle platform rules and process descriptions, not a substitute for legal advice. Applicable statutory rights and legal obligations take priority where they cannot lawfully be excluded or reduced.
