Terms of Service

Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Cartoru (“we,” “us”), including our website at cartoru.com, related APIs, and the Cartoru browser extension (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

What Cartoru provides

Cartoru helps you evaluate used vehicle listings with market comparisons, directional fair-value context, reliability and common-issue information, deal search, personalized recommendations, and negotiation assistance. The Service is offered as a controlled beta and may change, pause, or end features at any time.

Not advice or an appraisal

Cartoru provides directional informational guidance only. Nothing in the Service is a formal appraisal, valuation certificate, or financial, legal, tax, or insurance advice. Estimates can be wrong — especially for exotic, luxury, rare-trim, or thinly traded vehicles. You are solely responsible for verifying vehicle condition, options, title, history, financing, and any purchase decision.

Accounts

Some features require an account. You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and notify us of unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or pose a security or abuse risk.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for unlawful purposes or to mislead others about vehicle values;
• Scrape, bulk-export, or resell Service output except as we expressly allow;
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, or attempt unauthorized access;
• Reverse engineer the Service except where applicable law permits;
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us or other users through the Service.

Your content

You retain rights to listing URLs, vehicle details, and other materials you submit. You grant us a non-exclusive license to use that material to operate, improve, and secure the Service. Do not submit content you do not have the right to share.

Third-party sites and partners

The Service may link to third-party listing sites, tools, or partner offers. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, policies, or transactions. Partner or affiliate links, if present, may generate a commission for us; that does not change your obligation to evaluate any offer yourself.

Intellectual property

Cartoru, including its software, branding, and documentation, is owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our name or marks except as needed to use the Service.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ESTIMATES, COMPS, OR OTHER OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR ERROR-FREE.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CARTORU AND ITS OPERATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR RELIANCE ON ITS OUTPUT — INCLUDING ANY VEHICLE PURCHASE OR NEGOTIATION. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Cartoru harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use information. By using the Service, you also acknowledge that policy.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
