14. VinGurus vehicle inspection services terms and conditions.
a. Not Experts; No Authentication. You understand that the person or entity that performs the VinGurus vehicle inspection services (“inspections”) for you, hereinafter referred as the Inspector, is not an expert in any field, and neither possesses nor applies any special or specific skill, knowledge, or expertise to his or her inspection. The inspection made and reported to you reflect the Inspector’s personal lay inspection and opinions based upon the inspection made by him or her at the time the inspection was made. We do not perform any tests drives.
b. No Guarantee. Our Inspectors work very hard to make sure that the information they report to you is accurate and complete. However, the information in the report you receive is not guaranteed. In addition, because we typically do not take possession of the vehicle we have no control over substitutions or changes that could possibly occur after the inspection is made. We are not responsible for any alterations, changes in condition, or damages to the property being inspected that occur subsequent to the inspection. VinGurus does not guarantee or warrant the condition or operation of any vehicle upon delivery to you. You are also bound by the provisions of the VinGurus Vehicle Inspection Report Disclaimer.
c. Authorized Communications. No person other than the person who places the order shall be entitled to issue instructions or in any way communicate with VinGurus regarding the order. You may not communicate directly, by any means, with your Inspector.
d. Scope of Order. VinGurus is under no obligation to report any facts, inspections, information or events that are outside of the express scope of the order and which are not included in the services offered by us as described on this site
e. Order Fulfillment Policy. We make every reasonable effort to post your report no later than three to four business days following placement of the order, and most orders should be completed within that period. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. However, because our ability to do so is often dependent on a variety of factors such as, for example, order volume in the area or making arrangements to meet with a seller or other necessary party, we do not guarantee that the report will be posted within that time frame or within any specific time frame.
f. Cancellation Policy. If you cancel your order before the Inspector started to implement the order we will issue a refund of 50% of the order price. VinGurus will not issue any refunds if you cancel your order after the Inspector started to implement the order. Implementing the order is defined as the inspector having made an appointment with the vehicle owner/seller or has arrived to the owner’s/seller’s place to inspect the vehicle., .
g. Title to Goods or Property. For VinGurus vehicle inspection services purchased in connection with a sales transaction or proposed sales transaction, VINGURUS DOES NOT VERIFY, CHECK, CONFIRM, REPRESENT, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE THAT THE SELLER OR PERSON IN POSSESSION AT THE TIME WE MAKE THE INSPECTION HAS LEGAL OWNERSHIP, OR LEGAL POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY INVOLVED
h. Use of subcontractors. We may, without notice, delegate, assign, or subcontract the service to any person, entity, agent, independent contractor, or subcontractor.
i. Maximum Inspection Time. We will spend, at our sole discretion, a maximum of fifteen (15) minutes observing the vehicle involved in your order, unless your order is an approved custom order which by its terms requires more time.
j. No Shows. If we arrive at the inspection site and the seller or other party who has agreed to meet us there does not have the vehicle available for the inspection, you will be charged in full if the Inspector has made contact and set up an appointment to conduct the inspection.
k. Entry Upon Private Property. If fulfillment of your order requires us to enter upon private property, you are solely responsible for obtaining the consent and permission of all legally necessary parties (owner, tenant, etc.) and providing confirmation thereof to us. You hereby indemnify and hold us harmless for any claims, liabilities, judgments, costs, expenses, or losses of any kind whatsoever we might suffer in connection with entry upon private property at your request in fulfillment of your order. You agree to provide written documentation of ownership or other rights if we so request.
l. No Offer. Nothing on this site shall be construed as an offer or promise to make any VinGurus service or product or the services or products of any third party available to you. By acquiring the self-reported information you enter and allowing the entry of your order, neither VinGurus nor associated third parties are attempting to sell services or products in any jurisdiction in which they are not authorized to do so.

NMVTIS Consumer Access Product Disclaimer
The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an electronic system that contains information on certain automobiles titled in the United States. NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and brand history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle’s repair history.
All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, NMVTIS does not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because some states are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some states report and update NMVTIS data in “real-time” (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days.
Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company (or other appropriate entity) to be a “total loss” or branded by a state titling agency. Conversely, an insurance carrier may be required to report a “total loss” even if the vehicle’s titling-state has not determined the vehicle to be “salvage” or “junk.”
A vehicle history report is NOT a substitute for an independent vehicle inspection. Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, consumers are strongly encouraged to also obtain an independent vehicle inspection to ensure the vehicle does not have hidden damage. The Approved NMVTIS Data Providers (look for the NMVTIS logo) can include vehicle condition data from sources other than NMVTIS.
NMVTIS data INCLUDES (as available by those entities required to report to the System):
- Information from participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.
- Information on automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, motor homes, and tractors. NMVTIS may not currently include commercial vehicles if those vehicles are not included in a state’s primary database for title records (in some states, those vehicles are managed by a separate state agency), although these records may be added at a later time.
- Information on “brands” applied to vehicles provided by participating state motor vehicle titling agencies. Brand types and definitions vary by state, but may provide useful information about the condition or prior use of the vehicle.
- Most recent odometer reading in the state’s title record.
- Information from insurance companies, and auto recyclers, including junk and salvage yards, that is required by law to be reported to the system, beginning March 31, 2009. This information will include if the vehicle was determined to be a “total loss” by an insurance carrier.
- Information from junk and salvage yards receiving a “cash for clunker” vehicle traded-in under the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS) Program.
Consumers are advised to visit vehiclehistory.bja.ojp.gov for details on how to interpret the information in the system and understand the meaning of various labels applied to vehicles by the participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.
VinGurus reports provide vehicle information from the auto auctions’ database and may include the vehicle’s photographs and vehicle details that were available to the public in the auto auctions’ websites when this vehicle was on sale there. Auction Records Report and the auto auction records in the Vehicle History Report are available only in case if this vehicle has ever been on sale at auto auctions since June, 2007 to present time, but still not for all these vehicles. The information on some vehicles may be unavailable.
Vehicle information from the VinGurus Auto Auction Records Report and from the auto auction records in the VinGurus Vehicle History Report is provided "as is" from the auto auctions database.

VinGurus also does not guarantee the availability of the vehicle photographs in the report. Nor shall VinGurus be under any obligation to advise any person of any error in information provided. VinGurus shall not be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, business or other consequential loss) which may arise from any use of, or reliance upon, or inability to access, the information from the VinGurus Auto Auction Records Report and the VinGurus Vehicle History Report.

NVS Data Disclaimer
The ultimate source of lien information provided in the VinGurus Vehicle History Report is database of National Vehicle Service (NVS). Although every effort is made to insure the accuracy of transmission and data, the reports are provided "as is." Some lien holders and jurisdictions do not report to NVS. Records from NVS may be incomplete. The lien data may not be complete and will not have information on all vehicles. So, lien record may not be available in a Vehicle History Report or may be incomplete. VinGurus makes no warranty either expressed or implied as to the validity of the data. Other than that, data provided is a true and correct reproduction of the NVS data.
VinGurus Vehicle Inspection Report Disclaimer
Every VinGurus Vehicle Inspection Report and the information contained therein is based solely upon the inspections and opinions of the individual or individuals (the “Inspector” or the “Inspectors”) who process your order and complete the report. None of the Inspectors are experts in any field, nor are they professional photographers. Your personal inspections and opinions might differ from those contained in your VinGurus Vehicle Inspection Report. The photographs contained in your VinGurus Vehicle Inspection Report may differ from photographs that would be taken by a professional photographer.
We do not check ownership or title of any vehicle. Your VinGurus Vehicle Inspection Report should not be considered a recommendation that you should or should not bid on or purchase a vehicle, nor should it be the sole basis upon which you might make any important decision. Unless we specifically agree in writing otherwise at the time you place your order, we do not perform appraisals or issue value opinions of any kind, and any such information contained in your VinGurus Vehicle Inspection Report should be not be relied upon for any purpose.
The Inspector may ask the seller to demonstrate that the vehicle is in basic working order (if applicable). The Inspector, however, is not an expert, and will not perform any tests. Only the most basic functions which the seller chooses to demonstrate will be observed, we do not perform test drives.
VinGurus free services Disclaimer
There are some services available at our website that you can obtain for free. They are: the free VIN decoding service (“VIN Decoder’’) and the Vehicle Recalls Check service (“Vehicle Recalls Check”).
a) The free VinGurus VIN Decoder provides the true identity of a vehicle by decoding the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Upon entry of a VIN number, a VIN decoding system validates, verifies the coded information contained within the various elements of the VIN number and then explodes it into a report that includes the following information: Model Year, Make, Model, Trim, Country of Manufacture, Engine Type, Body Style.
VinGurus does not guarantee or warranty the decoding of any VIN as well as the accuracy and fullness of the information issued by the VIN Decoder. ALTHOUGH VINGURUS VIN DECODE SERVICE DATA SUPPLIERS CHECK REGULARLY WITH THEIR DATA SOURCES TO CONFIRM THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF THE DATA, VINGURUS MAKES NO GUARANTY OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE DATA PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS IN USING ANY DATA IN THIS REPORT FOR HIS OR HER OWN APPLICATIONS. ALL DATA IN THIS REPORT ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
The free VinGurus Vehicle Recalls Check enables you to instantly identify an open recall on a specific vehicle, after you enter the year, make and model of the vehicle. Recall information is provided "as is" from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA”). NHTSA documents and tracks both types of auto recalls. With the exception of those involving tires, recalls are in effect for the lifetime of a vehicle. Under federal law, recalls must be remedied at no cost to consumers. If you identify an open recall, take the vehicle to an authorized dealer to have it repaired. This information is updated weekly by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Vehicles not included in this list may still have existing recalls. The information provided on vehicle recalls is for information purposes only. VinGurus does not guarantee that such information is accurate, comprehensive, verified or complete, and shall not assume or accept any liability (whether in negligence or otherwise) for the accuracy or completeness of such information or for any reliance placed by any person on the information. Nor shall VinGurus be under any obligation to advise any person of any error in information provided. VinGurus shall not be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, business or other consequential loss) which may arise from any use of, or reliance upon, or inability to access, the information.
If you have questions about the vehicle recall information presented, please contact your vehicle's manufacturer, NHTSA's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
c) There is a chargeless Auto Auction Check at our website. When you enter VIN in our VIN decoder, at once you can get the information whether this vehicle has ever been on sale at auto auctions or not. As soon as our VIN Decoder has verified the VIN, you can get one free vehicle’s photo from the auto auction database. We do not guarantee that this photo will show the damaged part of the vehicle because it is generated by random from the photo collection available for this vehicle in the auto auctions’ database. VinGurus does not guarantee that the vehicle has not been on sale at an auto auction if there is no auto auction records found by the Auto Auction Check.
