Information made available through our website and app, including free lookups, guides, website copy, help content and similar materials, is provided for general information only.

Vehicle-related information shown through the website or app may be sourced from third parties. Although we use reasonable care in presenting the service, we do not guarantee that any information or data made available through free features is complete, accurate, current, available for all vehicles or free from errors or omissions.

Any vehicle information shown is a snapshot only of information available to us or our suppliers at the relevant time.

You should not rely solely on free results, summaries or content on our website or app when deciding whether to buy, sell, finance, insure, use or otherwise deal with a vehicle. Independent checks, inspection and professional advice may also be appropriate depending on the circumstances.

Nothing on our website or app constitutes legal, financial, tax, insurance, regulatory or other professional advice.

Some parts of our website or app include AI-generated summaries, explanations or highlights.

These are produced automatically for convenience only and are provided for general informational purposes.

AI-generated outputs may be incomplete, simplified, inaccurate, out of date, or may omit information contained elsewhere in the underlying data or report. They are not advice, recommendations or guidance, and they are not a substitute for reviewing the underlying information yourself.

You should not rely solely on any AI-generated output when deciding whether to buy, sell, finance, insure, use or otherwise deal with a vehicle.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representation or warranty that any AI-generated output will be accurate, complete, reliable, suitable for your purposes or error-free.

Where we offer reminder emails or notifications for matters such as MOT, vehicle tax, insurance, breakdown cover, servicing, warranties or similar dates, those emails or notifications may also include promotional content, savings suggestions, affiliate links, offers, discounts or links to third-party products or services that we think may be relevant to vehicle ownership or maintenance.

These emails and notifications are provided for convenience and general information only.

Reminder dates may be based on information provided by you, information held in your account, third-party data, estimates, assumptions or rules applied by our systems. Because of this, reminder dates, suggested products, savings opportunities and other content may be incomplete, unavailable, inaccurate or out of date.

We do not guarantee that reminder emails or notifications will be sent, delivered, received, arrive on time, remain accurate, contain the best available offer, or be suitable for your circumstances. Delays, delivery failures or inaccuracies may arise for reasons including data issues, third-party provider issues, spam filtering, mailbox problems, account settings, technical faults, service outages or events outside our reasonable control.

Any links to offers, discounts, affiliate promotions or third-party services are provided for convenience only. We do not guarantee the availability, suitability, price, quality, accuracy or continued availability of any third-party offer, product or service.

You remain solely responsible for checking the true due dates for your vehicle and related products or services, for maintaining valid cover or compliance where required, and for taking action before any relevant deadline expires.

You must not rely solely on reminder emails or notifications, or on any offer, recommendation, saving suggestion or affiliate link contained in them, when deciding whether tax, MOT, insurance, breakdown cover, servicing, warranties or any other vehicle-related requirement is due, valid, appropriate or about to expire.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for any loss, damage, cost, missed renewal, lapse in cover, missed deadline, penalty, charge, prosecution or other consequence arising from a reminder or notification not being sent, not being received, being delayed, containing inaccurate or incomplete information, or including an offer or link that is unavailable, unsuitable or no longer valid.

Nothing in this clause excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

Where our website or app contains links to third-party websites, services or resources, these are provided for convenience only.

We have no control over the content of those third-party websites or services and are not responsible for them, for their availability, or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

We do not guarantee that our website or app will be secure or free from bugs, viruses or other harmful material.

We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access to all or part of the website or app at any time where we reasonably consider this necessary for security, legal, regulatory, supplier, fraud-prevention, technical or operational reasons, or where you breach these Terms of Use.

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.

If you are a consumer, we are responsible for losses you suffer that are a foreseeable result of our breaching these Terms of Use or failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for losses that are not foreseeable.
