Safety reminders

Seller — reminded

• Owner or SPA only. List only as the titled owner, or under a valid Special Power of Attorney. SPA listings must be labeled SPA. Commission agents cannot list on this door.
• Genuine papers. OR, CR, IDs, SPA, and DoS must be authentic and yours to use. Forged, altered, or stolen papers are a crime. ODO does not certify authenticity.
• Declare liens. Mortgage, chattel, or any other encumbrance cannot list on this door. Encumbered units are out — not “declare and continue.”
• Numbers must match. Engine, chassis, and plate on the unit must match the CR. A mismatch is a stop — rebuilt, surplus, or mismatch units cannot list.
• Closed DoS only. When a buyer proceeds, sign a notarized Deed of Absolute Sale with the buyer’s name filled. No blank buyer name. No open deed.
• Stay on ODO. No private numbers, no off-app cash, no side deal to skip facilitation. Viewing is 8:30am–4:30pm at Tandoc / Helium — well-lit, secured, hosted. DP and full payment are at that office. ODO mediates. Do not deal direct.
• Strip the cabin. Remove cash, phones, and valuables before display parking. Helium Tandoc garage insurance covers the vehicle only — not items left inside.
• Do not list stolen or alarm units. If you know the unit is stolen, rebuilt without papers, or has an HPG alarm, do not list it. Selling stolen property can be fencing under Philippine law.
• Bring originals to viewing. ODO hosts one or more viewings at Tandoc. You need not attend. The unit must be there and available. Bring original papers as instructed, or leave them with ODO for the hosted session.

Buyer — reminded

• Inspect at ODO only. One or more ODO-hosted viewings at Tandoc / beside Helium Fuels — Monday–Friday 8:30am–4:30pm, booked 30-minute slots. Break 12:00–1:00. No Saturday or Sunday. Holidays must be booked. You may view more than one unit. Viewing is free. Register with a valid government ID (ID-verified). You (the buyer) are present; a mechanic may come with you. ODO hosts — the seller need not attend. Optional hosted test drive ₱500 uses a handoff form (IDs + fee, unit out and back). Units are as-is. No private meet. No seller number.
• Match the metal to the CR. Engine, chassis, and plate must match the Certificate of Registration you are shown. If they do not match, do not proceed.
• Pay only at the office. Facilitation DP and the unit balance are paid in person at Tandoc / Helium Fuels. No installment / pay-later through ODO. You may bring a financier who pays directly at the office. Never GCash, e-wallet, or bank to a personal account — even if someone claims to be the owner or “ODO staff.”
• Closed DoS in your name. Do not accept a blank buyer name or an “open” deed. The seller signs a notarized Deed of Absolute Sale with your name filled.
• Diligence is yours. Check the unit and the papers at the viewing. Authenticity stays the seller’s duty. Bring a mechanic or lawyer if you want an independent opinion.
• Complete papers at handover. Handover is as-is. No warranty from ODO after you take the unit. Accept the unit and the complete papers together. Do not take the keys without OR/CR and the signed DoS.
• Transfer is government. LTO transfer stays with that office. ODO does not handle LTO assistance. After your purchase, we can refer you to someone who does. ODO does not promise a release date.
• Do not skip for a discount. Anyone who asks you to pay off-app, skip viewing, HPG clearance, or DoS is not this flow. If a seller comes to your address after DoS, do not pay. Call 0936 411 5239. Report it to support@ownerdirect.ph.
• Know the Anti-Fencing Law. Buying a unit you know — or should have known — was stolen can be a crime. The viewing and paper match exist so you can check before you pay.
