Terms of Service

Last updated: May 14, 2026

By using CarHistoryReport.ca ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.

1. Service Description

CarHistoryReport.ca provides vehicle history information aggregated from public sources (including the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and, in the future, from third-party Canadian data providers. The Service includes free VIN decoding, recall lookups, complaint databases, and (when launched) paid full history reports.

2. Use of Free Service

The free VIN check service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. You may use the Service for personal, non-commercial vehicle research purposes. Automated scraping, bulk lookups without permission, or commercial resale of our data is prohibited.

3. Data Accuracy Disclaimer

Vehicle history data is provided by third-party sources (NHTSA and others). While we make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, we do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any data displayed. Reports should not be the sole basis for any vehicle purchase decision. We strongly recommend a professional pre-purchase inspection.

4. AI-Generated Content

Our AI Risk Score and summary are generated by our AI provider based on available data. AI summaries are advisory and informational only. They do not constitute professional advice and should not replace expert vehicle inspection or legal counsel.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CarHistoryReport.ca and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service or reliance on the information provided, including but not limited to losses from vehicle purchases.

6. Paid Reports (When Launched)

When paid full history reports become available:

  • All sales are final 24 hours after report delivery.
  • Refunds available within 24 hours if the report could not be generated.
  • Prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD) and include applicable taxes.
  • Reports remain accessible for 30 days via shareable link.

7. Prohibited Uses

You may not use the Service to:

  • Stalk, harass, or violate the privacy of any individual.
  • Resell, redistribute, or scrape data from our reports.
  • Run automated requests without prior written permission.
  • Misrepresent the source of vehicle history information.

8. Intellectual Property

The CarHistoryReport.ca name, logo, design, and AI summary text are property of CarHistoryReport.ca. Raw data from NHTSA is public domain; our aggregation, presentation, and AI analysis are proprietary.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Alberta.

10. Changes to Terms

We may modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
