Payment Terms

Pricing and Payment

Our pricing is clearly displayed on our website. All prices are in British Pounds (GBP) and include applicable VAT. Payment is required before accessing paid reports. We accept major credit and debit cards through secure payment processors.

  • Technical errors preventing report delivery
  • Duplicate charges for the same report
  • Significant data inaccuracies (subject to verification)

Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of purchase. We will review each request on a case-by-case basis and respond within 5 business days.

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, images, software, and data compilations, is the property of Ultimate Car Checker or our content suppliers and is protected by UK and international copyright laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use our services for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works, publicly display, or exploit any content from our services without our express written permission.

Data Accuracy and Disclaimers

Important Notice

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, vehicle data is sourced from third-party databases and may contain errors or omissions. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Our reports are informational tools and should not be the sole basis for purchasing decisions
  • You should verify all critical information independently before making vehicle purchase decisions
  • We are not responsible for decisions made based on our reports
  • Vehicle valuations are estimates based on market data and may not reflect actual selling prices
  • Historical records may be incomplete, especially for older vehicles
  • We cannot guarantee that all security issues (stolen status, finance, etc.) will be detected

We strongly recommend conducting a physical inspection and obtaining an independent mechanical assessment before purchasing any vehicle.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ultimate Car Checker and its directors, employees, partners, and suppliers shall not be liable for:

  • Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities
  • Damages arising from your use or inability to use our services
  • Damages arising from errors or inaccuracies in the data provided
  • Damages arising from third-party actions or omissions

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from or relating to these Terms or our services shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific report or service giving rise to the claim, or £50, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ultimate Car Checker and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your misuse of our services
  • Your violation of any rights of another party
  • Any content you submit through our services

Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use our services will immediately cease.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect, including provisions regarding intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us to attempt to resolve any disputes informally.

Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
