Section 03
Treatment of Amounts Paid
Amounts paid under the above service packages are treated as part of the customer's overall transaction with Advanced Koryo.
If the customer completes the purchase of a vehicle through Advanced Koryo, the amount paid may be credited toward the final transaction amount, subject to the applicable quotation and invoice.
If the customer decides to postpone the purchase before approving a specific vehicle, the amount may, subject to these Terms, remain as customer credit for future use when the customer resumes the purchasing process.
Credit may not be transferred to another person without the Company's written approval.
Section 04
Payment Does Not Automatically Reserve a Vehicle
Payment of a service fee, commitment amount, or deposit does not automatically reserve any vehicle listed in the Korean market.
A vehicle shall only be considered reserved or purchased once:
-
The vehicle's actual availability has been confirmed by the seller.
-
The customer has approved the vehicle and final purchase price.
-
The required purchase funds have been received.
-
The seller has accepted the transaction or the vehicle purchase has been completed.
The customer acknowledges that desirable vehicles in the Korean market may be sold to another buyer at any time before these steps are completed.
Section 05
Vehicle Availability and Market Conditions
Vehicle sourcing depends on actual market availability at the time the service is performed.
Advanced Koryo does not guarantee that a vehicle matching every requested specification will be available.
Available options may vary depending on factors including:
-
Model and year
-
Exterior and interior color
-
Trim and specifications
-
Mileage
-
Vehicle condition
-
Accident or repair history
-
Market price
-
Currency exchange rates
-
Seller availability
The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify vehicles that most closely match the customer's requirements and provide appropriate market value.
Section 06
Prices and Quotations
All prices provided before purchase are considered estimates or quotations unless expressly stated otherwise as a fixed final price.
Prices may change due to:
-
Seller price changes
-
Currency exchange rate fluctuations
-
Auction or platform fees
-
Inland transportation costs
-
Ocean freight rates
-
Port charges
-
Additional requested services
A vehicle price becomes final only after the customer approves the quotation, the required funds are received, and the vehicle purchase is completed.
Certain offers may be valid only for a limited period because vehicle pricing and availability can change rapidly in the Korean market.
Section 07
Customer Vehicle Approval
Before purchasing a specific vehicle, the customer will receive the available information relevant to the vehicle according to the selected service package.
Once the customer approves the vehicle and price in writing or electronically, that approval shall be treated as authorization to proceed with the purchase.
Customer approval may be provided through:
-
The Company website
-
Email
-
WhatsApp
-
Electronic messaging
-
An approved quotation or invoice
-
Any other documented communication channel accepted by the Company
Once the Company has acted upon the customer's authorization and the vehicle has been purchased or funds have been committed to the seller, a change of mind by the customer shall not automatically create a right to cancel or obtain a refund.
Section 08
Vehicle Inspection
Depending on the service package and the availability of inspection services, Advanced Koryo may review or arrange information concerning the vehicle's condition.
This may include:
-
Accident history
-
Available insurance records
-
Body and chassis condition
-
Available service history
-
Photos and video
-
Exterior inspection
-
Mechanical or electronic inspection where available
Any inspection represents the observable condition of the vehicle at the time of inspection.
No inspection can guarantee the discovery of all:
-
Internal defects
-
Future mechanical failures
-
Intermittent faults
-
Hidden defects
-
Unreported previous repairs
-
Information withheld by sellers or third parties
Inspection services are intended to reduce purchasing risk and do not constitute a comprehensive mechanical warranty.
Section 09
Used Vehicle Condition
The customer acknowledges that used vehicles may show signs of normal wear consistent with their age and mileage.
These may include:
-
Minor scratches
-
Interior wear
-
Previous repairs
-
Repainted body panels
-
Minor differences between photographs and actual condition
The customer's purchase decision shall be based on the information reasonably available at the time of approval.
Section 10
Cancellation Before Vehicle Purchase
If the customer suspends the search or postpones the purchase before a specific vehicle has been purchased, the amount paid shall be handled according to the stage of the service and the work already performed.
The Company may allow eligible amounts to remain as customer credit for future use.
Services already performed, including research, review, sourcing, inspection, negotiation, or third-party expenses, are not automatically refundable.
Any refund, where applicable, shall be determined according to the stage of service completed and the actual costs incurred by the Company.
Section 11
Cancellation After Vehicle Approval and Purchase
Once the customer has approved a specific vehicle and the Company has purchased the vehicle, transferred funds to the seller, or otherwise entered into a financial commitment based on the customer's authorization, the transaction becomes an actual vehicle purchase transaction rather than a sourcing service.
Advanced Koryo shall not be obligated to cancel the transaction or refund amounts paid solely because the customer changes their mind.
If cancellation or resale is commercially and legally possible, it shall be subject to approval by the Company and relevant third parties, and all losses, charges, fees, and expenses incurred shall be deducted accordingly.
Section 12
Vehicle Becomes Unavailable
If an approved vehicle cannot be purchased because it has been sold to another buyer, the seller refuses the transaction, or material new information is discovered before purchase completion, the Company may:

Recommend an alternative vehicle
-
Continue searching for another suitable option
-
Retain the customer's credit for use toward another vehicle
-
Agree on another reasonable solution with the customer
