Terms of Service

Effective date. This version applies from 11 November 2026 to every account created, and every Plan purchased, on or after that date. For accounts that existed before that date it applies from 11 December 2026 — thirty (30) days after this version was posted on this page, which is our notice of it — or from any earlier date on which the account holder accepts it, purchases or renews a Plan, or first uses a feature, Plan, price, or product introduced with or after this version; use of the Services on or after 11 December 2026 is acceptance. The holder of each such account has a fresh thirty (30) day period, running from 11 December 2026, to opt out of Sections 16.3–16.4 in the manner described in Section 16.5.

Summary of the boundary (the full terms control). The files we publish in the public vehiclesdb/vehiclesdb repository are open data under their stated open license, free to use with the required credit and link. Everything else — the hosted API and its responses as a service, the vehicle images, the plate renders, the picker widget service, the private feeds, the website, and every marketing asset — is proprietary, is licensed and not sold, and is available only on the terms, and for the fees, stated in this Agreement.

1. Who we are; relationship to the Latent Software Terms

1.1 VehiclesDB is a product of Latent Software LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company with its principal place of business at 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA ("Latent", "Company", "we", "us", "our"). "VehiclesDB" refers to the vehicle-data products, websites, APIs, datasets, files, tools, and services made available at or through vehiclesdb.com and related properties.

1.2 These VehiclesDB Terms of Service (the "VehiclesDB Terms") are Supplemental Terms within the meaning of Section 1.2 of the Latent Software Terms of Service (the "General Terms"). The General Terms are incorporated into these VehiclesDB Terms by reference and apply to your use of VehiclesDB except as expressly modified here. In the event of a conflict, the following control in this order: (a) a mutually executed Order Form or signed agreement, to the extent it expressly modifies these terms; (b) a mutually executed data processing agreement or, absent one, the Data Processing Addendum, solely concerning processing of personal data on your behalf; (c) a mutually executed service-level agreement, solely concerning service levels and credits; (d) product-specific supplemental terms (including the API Terms for the API, keys, and the Widget, the Image & Asset License for Imagery, Plate Art, Brand Assets, and Site Assets, and any Data License Agreement); (e) these VehiclesDB Terms; and (f) the General Terms.

1.3 By accessing or using any part of the Services, you accept these VehiclesDB Terms, the General Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Image & Asset License, if you use the API, any key, or the Widget, the API Terms, and, where we process personal data on your behalf, the Data Processing Addendum (collectively, the "Agreement"). "Using the Services" includes browsing the websites, calling the API, embedding or loading the Widget, and loading, displaying, or storing any Imagery. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you accept on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you"/"Customer" means that entity.

1.4 Business use. The Services are designed, marketed, and provided for business and professional use. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, you use the Services as a consumer, nothing in this Agreement affects mandatory statutory rights that cannot be waived or limited by contract in your jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be read as limited to the maximum extent such mandatory rights require — and no further. Without limiting the foregoing, if you are a consumer habitually resident in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, then to the extent required by the mandatory law of your residence: the liability cap in Section 15.2, the time bar in Section 16.8, and the arbitration requirement and class-action waiver in Sections 16.3–16.4 do not apply to you; your non-waivable conformity and redress rights under the law of your residence are unaffected; and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your residence. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to create an account or purchase any Plan; this requirement supersedes any lower age threshold in the General Terms.

Please note: Section 16 provides for binding individual arbitration and a class-action waiver, with a thirty (30) day opt-out (Section 16.5).

2. Definitions

3. Accounts, organizations, and Credentials

3.1 You must provide accurate, current, and complete registration information and keep it updated. Accounts may be organized into workspaces or organizations; the organization is the billing entity, and each of its authorized users must comply with this Agreement. You are responsible for all activity under your accounts and Credentials, whether or not authorized by you, and for maintaining the confidentiality of Credentials. Notify us immediately at support@vehiclesdb.com of any compromise.

3.2 We may refuse registration, decline to issue Credentials, or deactivate Credentials at any time, with or without cause or notice.

4. The Services; changes; no service commitments

4.1 We may add, modify, redesign, throttle, limit, deprecate, suspend, or discontinue any Service, endpoint, feature, plan, dataset, field, or version, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, and without liability. Any uptime, support, freshness, deprecation-notice, or service-level commitment exists only if and to the extent expressly purchased in an Order Form, and only for its stated term.

4.2 Features identified as alpha, beta, preview, labs, or early access are provided strictly AS IS, may be changed or withdrawn at any time, may be subject to additional terms, and are excluded from any purchased service-level commitments.

4.3 We have no obligation to store, retain, back up, or return any data for you, and we may impose or change storage, retention, rate, volume, and other limits at any time.

4.4 Free access and legacy Plans. Any access we provide without charge — including free accounts, free or promotional credits, the free use of the Widget, and the single image shown on a public page — is provided at our discretion, as it stands at the time, and may be limited, changed, charged for, or withdrawn at any time. No statement on any page, in any repository, or in any communication is a commitment that anything will remain free, will remain available, or will remain at any price for any period, unless it is contained in an Order Form. Plans no longer offered to new customers continue only for the subscription term already paid for; we may move a legacy Plan to a current Plan, or end it, effective at a renewal, on at least thirty (30) days' notice.

5. License to you; reservation of rights

5.1 License. Subject to your continuous compliance with this Agreement and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license, during the term of your subscription or permitted use, to (a) access and use the Services, and (b) use the Content delivered to you through your plan, in each case for your internal business purposes and, as an integrated and incidental part of your own products and services, for display to your end users (including through contractors, affiliates, and hosting or CDN providers acting on your behalf and bound to restrictions no less protective than this Agreement's), within the limits and scope of your Plan or Order Form — including the number of Websites, Businesses, and Client Businesses it covers (Section 5.8). Imagery, Plate Art, and Brand Assets are licensed only under, and subject to the additional limits of, the Image & Asset License. No other rights are granted.

5.2 What the license does not include. For the avoidance of doubt, the license in Section 5.1 does not extend to: (a) any Third-Party IP, including any trademarks, logos, or brand assets displayed in or accessible through the Services or Content (Section 6); (b) any right to resell, redistribute, republish, sublicense, syndicate, or make the Services, Content, or Data Products available to any third party, except as expressly authorized in a signed Order Form or Data License Agreement; (c) any right to create or contribute to a competing database, dataset, API, or service; (d) any right to use the Services, Content, Data Products, Imagery, or other Proprietary Materials to train, fine-tune, ground, or otherwise develop any machine-learning or artificial intelligence model (Section 8.1(j)); (e) any right in the Imagery, Plate Art, or Site Assets beyond the express terms of the Image & Asset License; (f) any use for, or on behalf of, any Business other than the Businesses your Plan covers; or (g) any implied license of any kind. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

5.3 Cached Content. Where your plan permits caching or local storage of Content, we grant a limited, revocable license to store such Content ("Cached Content") for up to thirty (30) days from retrieval. You must refresh Cached Content through the Services at least once every thirty (30) days; upon expiry of that period without refresh, or upon termination or suspension, or upon our notice that specific Content has been corrected, suppressed, or removed, the license to the affected Cached Content ends automatically and you must promptly and permanently delete it. We may require written certification of deletion. Persistent embeddings, vector representations, or similar derived stores generated from Content are Cached Content for purposes of this Section 5.3 and are subject to the same refresh and purge obligations. The obligations of this Section 5.3 do not apply to Resolution Results (or to embeddings derived solely from Resolution Results), which are governed by Section 5.4.

5.4 Resolution Results. Notwithstanding Sections 5.1, 5.3, and 11.2, and for as long as you comply with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to retain the Resolution Results you obtained and paid for during your subscription and to keep using them within your own records, systems, products, and services — including display to your end users as an integrated, incidental part of your products. No continuing subscription or refresh is required to keep using Resolution Results you already hold, and this license continues after expiration or termination of this Agreement, subject to this Section. It ends automatically, without notice, if you breach Section 8 or any other term that survives termination, or if any fees for the period in which the Resolution Results were obtained remain unpaid, refunded, or charged back; when it ends you must stop using and delete them. It covers Resolution Results only as delivered: we have no obligation to maintain, correct, update, or support them, or to keep any identifier resolving. It does not extend to enrichment or attribute Content, Imagery, Plate Art, or any other Proprietary Materials, does not permit reconstitution of any Data Product or catalog in whole or substantial part, and the restrictions of Section 8 continue to apply to Resolution Results after termination.

5.5 Imagery, Plate Art, and Site Assets. Imagery is a paid product. It is licensed per image, for display only, for a limited time, and only as stated in the Image & Asset License; each colour of a vehicle is a separate image, separately charged. The image shown on a public page of our websites is shown for visitors to view on that page and is not licensed for any reuse. Site Assets are not licensed at all. Nothing in this Agreement or in any open license grants any right in Imagery or Site Assets.

5.6 The Widget. Subject to this Agreement, you may embed the Widget, as we deliver it and through the Publishable Key issued to you, on the Websites registered for that key. The Widget is provided without charge on condition that the Credit it renders remains present, visible, legible, and linked exactly as delivered. Unless and only while an Attribution Waiver covers the Website concerned, you shall not remove, hide, cover, shrink, recolour to low contrast, move off-screen, disable the link of, or otherwise defeat the Credit, by any means, including styles, scripts, wrappers, or a modified, re-implemented, or self-hosted copy of the Widget that draws on the Services. We may change, limit, charge for, or withdraw the Widget at any time (Section 4).

5.7 Attribution Waiver: scope and duration. An Attribution Waiver exists only if your current Plan or an Order Form expressly includes it, and only within the scope stated there (for example: the Widget on one Website; one Business; or a stated number of Client Businesses). It (a) covers only the Credit owed to us, and never any notice owed to an upstream source or other third party (Section 9.6); (b) is personal to you, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable; (c) applies only during the paid period of the subscription that includes it; and (d) ends automatically at the end of the last period paid for when that subscription is cancelled or expires, when a payment remains unpaid fourteen (14) days after it fell due, when you move to a Plan without it, or when the Agreement is terminated. Use without the Credit that was within the waiver while it applied does not become a breach afterwards; but within fourteen (14) days after the waiver ends you shall restore the Credit on every public display within your control that continues after that date (whenever it was first published), or cease that display. Where your Plan extends the Attribution Waiver to Open Dataset files, Section 12.5 applies.

5.8 Scope: Websites, Businesses, and Client Businesses. Each Plan is licensed for the number of Websites, Businesses, and Client Businesses it states and for no others; a Plan that states none is licensed for one Business. If you act for clients (for example as an agency, developer, or platform): (a) you may use the Services for a Client Business — and, notwithstanding the sublicensing restriction in Section 5.1, permit that Client Business to display Content, the Widget, and Imagery in its own Websites and products, to use within its own systems any Private Feed your Plan includes, and to rely on any Attribution Waiver your Plan includes (including under Section 12.5), exactly as you could for your own Business and notwithstanding Sections 5.7(b), 5.9, and 12.5 — only under a Plan that covers Client Businesses, only up to the stated number, and only for Client Businesses you have identified to us on request; (b) you remain the customer, and are liable for each Client Business's acts and omissions as your own; (c) you shall bind each Client Business in writing to restrictions no less protective of us than this Agreement, and no Client Business acquires any right against us; (d) rights you hold for one Client Business may not be used for another, pooled, or carried to a different Business; and (e) the rights of a Client Business end when your Plan ends, when it ceases to be your client, or when you replace it with another within your Plan's number, and from then on it needs a Plan of its own. Redistribution, resale, white-labelling of the Services as a data or image product, and use for more Client Businesses than a Plan states require an Order Form.

5.9 Private Feeds. Private Feeds are our confidential information. Where your Plan includes one, you may use it only within your own Business's systems and products, within your Plan's scope, during your subscription; you shall not disclose, publish, redistribute, or sublicense it in whole or in part, and upon the end of your subscription you shall delete it together with all copies and extracts (Section 11.2), except Resolution Results under Section 5.4.

6. Third-Party IP

6.1 By using the Services, you may instruct us to access, retrieve, process, format, and transmit to you Content that references or embeds Third-Party IP. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) all Third-Party IP remains the property of its respective owners; (b) we grant you no license, right, or permission of any kind in or to any Third-Party IP; (c) we do not endorse, sponsor, or have any affiliation with any owner of Third-Party IP, and the availability of any Third-Party IP through the Services does not imply any such endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation, and creates no legal relationship between you and any such owner; (d) we merely provide access to such material through the Services; (e) you bear sole responsibility for your use of any Third-Party IP, including for determining whether your use requires a license or permission and for obtaining it; and (f) no license to any Third-Party IP or to any patent is granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

6.2 Vehicle makes, models, and related names appear in the Services and Data Products as plain-text facts, solely to identify the vehicles to which data relates. All such names and associated marks are the property of their respective owners. Nothing in the Services constitutes a license to use any manufacturer's name, mark, or logo.

6.3 We may, at any time and in our sole discretion, correct, modify, suppress, block, or remove any Content or Third-Party IP from the Services, including in response to a complaint under our IP & Takedown Policy, without notice or liability to you. You will promptly cease use and delete any affected Cached Content upon notice.

6.4 We disclaim all liability for Third-Party IP, including its accuracy, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness, or safety, and for any intellectual-property rights therein.

7. Our intellectual property; Usage Data; Submissions

7.1 Ownership. As between the parties, we and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Proprietary Materials — the Services, the Content, the Data Products, the Imagery, the Plate Art, the Site Assets, the Widget, the Private Feeds — and all software, schemas, identifiers, taxonomies, normalization and resolution systems, alias and observed-form corpora, compilations, selections and arrangements, and documentation, including all intellectual-property rights therein — including copyright in original selection, coordination, and arrangement (not in underlying facts), and, to the extent any database right (including the sui generis right under Directive 96/9/EC or its UK equivalent) subsists in any jurisdiction recognising such rights and is owned by us, our affiliates, or our licensors, that right is fully reserved; no such right is asserted under United States law; any rights subsisting in the Open Dataset (including compilation copyright and any database rights) are licensed under, and enforceable solely in accordance with, its own open license. Independently of our intellectual-property rights, you agree as a matter of contract that extraction or re-utilization of the whole or a substantial part of any of our databases accessed through the Services, or repeated and systematic extraction or re-utilization of insubstantial parts, other than as expressly licensed, is prohibited — this restriction is a condition of the access we provide and is supported by independent consideration. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any ownership to you.

7.2 Marks. No right or license to the Marks is granted. See the Trademark Policy.

7.3 Usage Data. We own all Usage Data. We may collect, generate, use, and disclose Usage Data for any lawful purpose, including operating, securing, benchmarking, improving, and developing the Services and Data Products, and we may use, publish, license, and commercialize Usage Data in aggregated or de-identified form.

7.4 Submissions. You grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, analyze, and use Submissions (including query inputs submitted to the Services and the results of processing them) to operate, secure, maintain, improve, and develop the Services and Data Products, including to expand and refine our datasets, corpora, and resolution systems. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that Submissions do not violate law or third-party rights, including that any personal data included in Submissions was collected and may be shared lawfully. As between the parties, you retain ownership of your Submissions. We will not publicly disclose your Submissions in a form that identifies you or reveals your confidential business information, and improvements to our Services, datasets, and corpora derived from Submissions are made on inputs disassociated from your identity. Feedback, suggestions, and ideas may be used by us without restriction or obligation. Personal data that we process on your behalf as your processor (for example, registration marks submitted for a plate check) is handled under the Data Processing Addendum, and the licenses in Sections 7.3 and 7.4 extend to it only once it has been anonymised so that it no longer relates to an identifiable person.

7.5 Contract terms apply in addition to intellectual-property rights. All Proprietary Materials are owned by us and our licensors and are licensed, not sold. They are made available to you only under this Agreement. In addition to, and independently of, every intellectual-property right we and our licensors hold, these terms govern your use of every item of Proprietary Material, in every jurisdiction, as contractual conditions of that access supported by independent consideration. Nothing in this Agreement limits or waives any intellectual-property right. To the extent you would, by using or modifying them, acquire any right, title, or interest in the Proprietary Materials we supply or in any modified version of Imagery, Plate Art, or Site Assets, you assign it to us (and, where assignment is not legally possible, grant us an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license); this does not reach your own independently created materials or any third party's rights. This Section does not restrict any right you hold under the open license of the Open Dataset in material we have released under it, however you obtained your copy.

7.6 Seeded material and identifying marks. The Proprietary Materials may contain seeded, fictitious, or deliberately distinctive entries, and embedded identifiers, fingerprints, watermarks, or tracing tokens, visible or not, which we do not disclose. You shall not seek to detect, isolate, remove, alter, or disclose them in order to conceal the origin of material or to evade this Agreement (reporting a suspected error to us is always welcome). You agree that the presence of any such material in any database, product, model, or service is evidence, which the holder may rebut, that it was obtained from the Proprietary Materials, and that we may rely on it to establish copying and breach.

7.7 Non-public information. The Private Feeds, non-public Documentation, pricing or terms offered to you privately, and the methods, tools, source materials, and processes by which we create, edit, or select Imagery, Plate Art, and data are our confidential information and trade secrets. You shall not attempt to discover, reconstruct, or disclose them, and shall protect anything of that kind you receive with at least reasonable care. These duties do not apply to information that is or becomes public without breach, that you already lawfully held or independently developed without use of ours, or that you lawfully received from a third party free of restriction; and you may make a disclosure that law or a court compels, after giving us prompt notice (where lawful) and limiting it to what is compelled.

8. Restrictions

8.1 Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or a signed Order Form, you shall not, and shall not permit or assist any third party to:

(a) copy, reproduce, republish, redistribute, resell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, syndicate, or otherwise make available the Services, Content, or Data Products, in whole or in part, to any third party; (b) crawl, scrape, spider, harvest, bulk-download, or extract data, pages, Imagery, Plate Art, Brand Assets, or Site Assets from the Services (including the websites and their images and feeds) by any automated or systematic means, or access the Services by any means other than the interfaces we provide — except that operators of general-purpose public search engines may crawl public pages in compliance with our robots instructions solely to index them and show search results and link previews that link back to those pages, and not for any other purpose (in particular not for AI training or dataset creation); (c) extract or re-utilize the whole or any substantial part of any Data Product or database, or systematically extract or re-utilize insubstantial parts thereof; (d) build, train, improve, populate, verify, benchmark for the purpose of replicating, or correct any database, dataset, API, widget, picker, image library, plate renderer, product, or service that competes with, or substitutes for, the Services or any Proprietary Material, or copy the structure, look and feel, or page corpus of our websites; (e) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, models, corpora, schemas, or underlying structure of the Services, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law; (f) remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, provenance fields, attributions, or identifiers; (g) circumvent, disable, or interfere with any usage limits, metering, security, or access controls, or share, rotate, or pool Credentials to evade plan limits; (h) frame, mirror, or hotlink any part of the Services except as we expressly enable; (i) publish any misleading benchmark of the Services, any benchmark of non-public or beta features, or any benchmark derived from unauthorized access — nothing in this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy restricts truthful reviews or good-faith, independently produced performance comparisons of generally available features; (j) Prohibited AI training use: use the Services, Content, or Data Products, in whole or in part, to train, pre-train, fine-tune, distill, or update the weights of any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model, or to create, populate, or augment any training dataset for any such model, absent a separate written AI/ML license from us. We expressly reserve all text-and-data-mining rights in the Services, Content, and Data Products, including under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790, and this clause constitutes an express reservation of rights in contractual and machine-readable form. Nothing in this clause restricts acts expressly permitted by a statutory exception that cannot be excluded by contract (such as text-and-data mining for non-commercial research under section 29A of the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, to the extent it applies). Permitted inference use: you may use the Services and Content at inference time — including as prompt context, through retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector retrieval, and agent or tool calls that query the API at runtime — subject to your Plan limits and to the caching (Section 5.3, including its application to persistent embeddings), retention, redistribution, and competing-use restrictions of this Agreement; (k) use the Services in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated by reference; (l) use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or third-party right; (m) remove, hide, or defeat the Credit without an Attribution Waiver that covers the use (Sections 5.6, 5.7, and 10.3); (n) use any Imagery, Plate Art, Brand Asset, or Site Asset outside the Image & Asset License, including by downloading, storing, republishing, or supplying Imagery other than as that license permits, or by presenting any Imagery as official manufacturer material or as an image of a specific real vehicle; (o) use a Publishable Key from any origin not registered for it, or use any key for a Website, Business, or Client Business outside your Plan; forge, spoof, or strip origin, referrer, or network-address information; or proxy, relay, or re-serve requests so that a key works where it is not authorised; (p) expose a Secret Key in client-side code, a public repository, or any other place where third parties can read it, or let any third party use your Credentials; (q) detect, remove, alter, or disclose any seeded material or identifying mark (Section 7.6), or discover or disclose anything confidential under Section 7.7; or (r) do indirectly, or through any affiliate, contractor, client, tool, or agent (including any automated or AI agent acting for you), anything this Agreement prohibits you from doing directly.

For clarity under clauses (c)–(d): your product does not "compete" with the Services merely because it uses the Services internally or displays Content to its end users as permitted by Section 5; a product competes only if a primary purpose of that product, or of a distinct offering within it, is providing vehicle identification, catalog, specification, resolution, plate, or vehicle-imagery data or components as such to third parties. Nothing in this Section 8 restricts what the open license of the Open Dataset permits you to do with material we have released under it, however you obtained your copy (from the repository, a release archive, a mirror, an Open Component's bundled snapshot, or a third party); it restricts how you may access and use the Services, and what you may do with every other Proprietary Material.

8.2 We may monitor use of the Services for compliance, and may investigate, throttle, suspend, or terminate access in connection with any suspected violation, without notice or liability.

9. Data disclaimers; prohibited reliance

9.1 Nature of the data. The Services and Data Products consist of factual data compiled, normalized, derived, and enriched from numerous sources, including official registers, public records, publicly available materials, licensed sources, and our own systems. Sources contain errors; compilation, normalization, matching, and derivation introduce additional possibilities of error. We do not warrant that any data is accurate, complete, current, or fit for any purpose. Identifiers, records, fields, schemas, and values may change, merge, split, or be removed between versions, and you are responsible for implementing migration mechanisms we may publish.

9.2 No consumer reporting. Latent is not a "consumer reporting agency" and the Services and Data Products are not "consumer reports" within the meaning of the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. ("FCRA"), or any similar law. You shall not use the Services or any data obtained from them, in whole or in part, as a factor in establishing any individual's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing, government benefits, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA or similar laws. We may require you to certify your purposes of use at any time, we monitor for indications of prohibited use, and we will terminate access immediately upon detecting use in violation of this Section. This Section is a condition of access, not merely a disclaimer.

9.3 No driver or personal motor-vehicle-record data. The Data Products are compiled from vehicle-type, type-approval, and registration-statistics sources; they are not derived from motor-vehicle records pertaining to identifiable individuals. You shall not use the Services to obtain or infer personal information about identifiable individuals, including information regulated by the U.S. Driver's Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2721 et seq. ("DPPA") or analogous laws, shall not combine or join the Services or Data Products with any data sourced from state motor-vehicle-department records of individuals, and shall not use the Services to identify, locate, track, contact, or profile any individual. Plate functions check a registration string against published plate formats and return format information only; they do not look up, and you shall not represent them as looking up, any vehicle, keeper, owner, or registration record. Registration marks you submit may be personal data: you are responsible for having a lawful basis and giving any required notice, and the API Terms govern how we process them.

9.4 No safety-critical or high-risk use. The Services and Data Products are not designed, tested, or licensed for use in safety-critical systems or high-risk applications, including vehicle operation or control, autonomous or assisted driving, navigation, or any application in which errors could result in death, personal injury, or physical or environmental damage, nor for making automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals. Any such use is at your sole risk and sole responsibility, and you are solely responsible for compliance with all laws applicable to your use, including product-safety, insurance, and artificial-intelligence regulations.

9.5 Not professional advice. Data is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal, regulatory, compliance, valuation, insurance, engineering, or other professional advice.

9.6 Source requirements. Certain sources require notices or prohibit implying their endorsement. Certain data derives from official registers and other sources whose license and notice requirements are identified in the Documentation ("Source-Licensed Data"); those requirements pass through to you and survive any waiver of our own attribution requirement — a paid attribution waiver covers only VehiclesDB's attribution, never upstream source notices. You shall comply with any source-attribution or notice requirements stated in the Documentation and shall not state or imply that any register, government body, or other source endorses you, us, or any derived data.

9.7 Imagery and Plate Art are for identification. Images depict vehicles for identification only; there is no affiliation with or endorsement by any manufacturer. Imagery represents a make and model in general and may differ from any particular vehicle, trim, colour, equipment, or model year. Plate Art depicts plate formats with sample characters and is not a registration document or an approved plate. You shall not rely on, or present, either as depicting a specific real vehicle, its condition, or its equipment, and you are solely responsible for any labelling, advertising, consumer-information, or other disclosure duty that applies to your display of them.

10. Fees, billing, credits, attribution

10.1 Paid plans, usage-based credits, credit packs, and other offerings are billed as described at purchase. All fees are in U.S. dollars, exclusive of taxes (which you are responsible for, excluding taxes on our income), due as invoiced or charged, and non-cancellable and non-refundable except where required by law. Credits, allowances, and free-tier grants have no cash value and are non-transferable. Where your Plan states that paid credits roll over, unused paid credits carry over from period to period while your paid subscription remains active and expire upon termination of the subscription or as otherwise stated at issuance; free-tier allowances do not accumulate. Each operation consumes the number of credits stated in the Documentation; operations differ, we may change the rates as provided in Section 10.2, Imagery is charged per image (each colour separately), credits are consumed when a response or image link is issued whether or not you use it, and free or promotional credits may be excluded from particular operations (including Imagery). Subscriptions renew automatically as stated in the General Terms until cancelled; cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Promotions. We may offer trials, guarantees, discounts, credits, or other promotions at our discretion; each is governed by its published conditions, may be modified or withdrawn prospectively at any time, and does not amend this Agreement except as its published conditions expressly state.

10.2 We may change prices, plans, metering units, the credits each operation consumes, credit mechanics, and free-tier limits at any time; for a paid subscription, changes apply from your next billing period or credit purchase, and for free access they apply when published. Failure to pay when due may result in suspension or termination and interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum lawful rate, plus collection costs.

10.3 Attribution. Use of the Services requires the Credit — a visible, publicly accessible, followable attribution link, in the form designated at vehiclesdb.com/attribution — in each product or page where Content is publicly displayed or the Widget is embedded, on every Plan, unless and only while an Attribution Waiver expressly included in your Plan or a mutually executed agreement covers that use (Section 5.7). The Credit is part of the price of every Plan that does not include a waiver. Where API responses include machine-readable attribution fields, you shall not remove them from stored or onward-transmitted Content, except that an Attribution Waiver that covers API responses also permits you to omit the fields that credit VehiclesDB (and only those). We may verify attribution and treat its absence as a material breach. An attribution waiver covers only VehiclesDB's attribution, never upstream source notices (Section 9.6).

10.4 We may offset amounts you owe against amounts we owe you.

10.5 Use beyond your Plan; verification. If you use the Services or any Proprietary Material beyond the scope you have paid for — including on more Websites, Businesses, or Client Businesses than your Plan covers, without the Credit where no Attribution Waiver applies, or with Imagery outside its license — then, without limiting any other remedy (including suspension, termination, and injunctive relief), you shall pay on demand the fees, at our then-current list prices, for the Plan, credits, or license that would have covered that use for the whole period in which it occurred, less what you actually paid for that use; any damages we later recover for the same use are reduced by what you paid under this Section. On at least ten (10) days' written notice, and no more than once in any twelve (12) months unless we reasonably suspect a breach, you shall give us the information reasonably needed to verify your compliance (including the Websites, applications, and Client Businesses using the Services, your stores of Cached Content and Imagery, and your display of the Credit), certified by an authorised representative; we will use that information only to verify and enforce compliance and will keep it confidential. If a verification shows that you underpaid by more than five percent (5%) for any period, you shall also reimburse our reasonable verification costs.

10.6 Payment disputes. You shall raise any billing dispute with us before initiating a chargeback or payment reversal. We may suspend the Services while a chargeback is pending and may recover the disputed amount, associated bank fees, and reasonable collection costs where the charge was valid.

11. Term; suspension; termination

11.1 This Agreement is effective upon your first access and continues until terminated. You may terminate at any time by ceasing all use and closing your account. We may suspend or terminate this Agreement, your account, any Credentials, or any part of the Services: (a) for convenience, upon at least thirty (30) days' notice; and (b) immediately and without notice for any actual or suspected breach, unlawful use, risk to the Services or third parties, non-payment, or where required by law.

11.2 Upon any termination or suspension: all licenses end immediately; you shall cease all use, remove all Imagery from display and delete all Content, Cached Content, Imagery, Private Feeds, and Data Products in your possession or control (except Resolution Results under Section 5.4 and data you are expressly licensed to retain under a signed Order Form), restore the Credit where Section 5.7 requires it, and certify deletion upon request; all unpaid amounts become immediately due; and prepaid fees are retained by us and are non-refundable except where required by law. If we terminate this Agreement for convenience under Section 11.1(a), or permanently discontinue a paid Service in its entirety during your prepaid period, we will refund the pro-rata unused portion of the fees prepaid for that Service, and that refund is your sole and exclusive remedy for such termination or discontinuation; modifications, deprecations, or removal of individual features under Section 4.1 are not a discontinuation.

11.3 Sections 2, 5.2, 5.3 (deletion obligations), 5.4, 5.5–5.9 (restrictions and post-termination obligations), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.2, 11.3, 12, and 13–17 survive termination.

12. What is open and what is not

12.1 The Open Dataset. The Open Dataset is licensed under the open license stated in its repository (currently CC BY 4.0, which requires visible credit and a link — see /legal/attribution) and your rights in material we have released under that license — however you obtained your copy — are governed by that license and not by this Agreement. That license does not grant trademark rights (see CC BY 4.0 § 2(b)(2)), and no trademark or other Third-Party IP rights are granted in connection with the Open Dataset. Released versions of the Open Dataset remain licensed under the license under which they were released (we make no commitment to continue hosting or distributing any particular version); we make no commitment regarding future releases, their cadence, content, scope, or licensing. Upstream sources' own license notices apply to the Open Dataset under every license.

12.2 Everything else is proprietary. The open license applies to the Open Dataset files and to nothing else. In particular, and whether or not they display, contain, or were derived from facts that also appear in the Open Dataset, the following are Proprietary Materials governed exclusively by this Agreement: (a) the websites, their pages, text, design, and page corpus, and all Site Assets; (b) all Imagery; (c) Plate Art, except individual files that the Open Dataset repository's own license ledger expressly identifies as openly licensed; (d) the hosted API, the Widget service, and their responses as delivered by the Services; (e) the Private Feeds and every enrichment, depth, popularity-count, or other layer not published in the Open Dataset; (f) the resolution, normalization, and matching systems, alias and observed-form corpora, and Resolution methods; and (g) the Documentation and software (other than Open Components). This Section allocates rights in what we create and deliver; it does not claim ownership of facts as such, of Open Components, or of Third-Party IP. Obtaining through the Services something that also exists in the Open Dataset does not change the terms on which the Services are provided: your rights under the open license attach to the openly licensed material itself, wherever you hold a copy of it, and your access to and use of the hosted Services — their availability, volume, speed, interfaces, and everything they deliver that is not that openly licensed material — is licensed by this Agreement.

12.3 TO THE EXTENT THE OPEN DATASET OR OPEN COMPONENTS ARE ACCESSED THROUGH THE SERVICES, THEY ARE PROVIDED AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ON OUR PART, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND BY THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSES. IN ALL OTHER CASES, THEIR OWN LICENSES (INCLUDING CC BY 4.0 SECTION 5 AND THE APPLICABLE OPEN-SOURCE LICENSE TERMS) EXCLUSIVELY GOVERN WARRANTY AND LIABILITY MATTERS.

12.4 Open Components. Open Components are licensed under the open-source license included with each component, which governs the code. Any bundled snapshot of the Open Dataset remains under the Open Dataset's license; any network calls an Open Component makes to the Services, and everything the Services return, are governed by this Agreement and the API Terms; and no license to any Marks, Imagery, or Third-Party IP is granted.

12.5 Using the Open Dataset without our Credit (paid, and only while subscribed). Where, and only where, your Plan or an Order Form expressly extends an Attribution Waiver to Open Dataset files, we grant you — separately from, and in addition to, the open license — a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license, to the extent of the rights we hold or control, to use those files within the Businesses your Plan covers without giving the Credit to VehiclesDB that the open license would otherwise require. This license (a) waives only our own Credit and never any upstream source's notice; (b) does not permit you to distribute the files, or any substantial part of them, to third parties as data without the Credit and the open license notice; (c) lasts only for the paid period of the subscription that includes it, as stated in Section 5.7, and then for the fourteen (14) day restoration period that Section allows; and (d) ends automatically at the end of that restoration period. From then on, your only license to those files is the open license, with its attribution condition, on every public use that continues, whenever it began. Use within this license while it lasted does not become a breach afterwards.

13. Indemnification

13.1 By you. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Latent, its affiliates and licensors, and their respective officers, directors, members, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Services, Content, or Data Products, or of anything you build with them; (b) your breach of this Agreement or of any representation or warranty in it; (c) your actual or alleged violation of law or of any third-party right, including intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, data-protection, consumer-protection, FCRA, or DPPA rights, and including any actual or alleged infringement arising from your use of Third-Party IP; (d) your products, services, systems, end users, and Client Businesses; (e) your Submissions; and (f) your use or display of any Imagery, Plate Art, or Brand Asset, including any actual or alleged trademark, design-right, trade-dress, unfair-competition, advertising, labelling, or disclosure claim arising from it. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, at your expense, and you shall cooperate.

13.2 By us: none under these Terms. WE PROVIDE NO INDEMNITY OF ANY KIND UNDER THESE VEHICLESDB TERMS. Any indemnity from us exists only if and to the extent expressly set out in a mutually executed Order Form or Data License Agreement, and then only within its stated scope, exclusions, conditions, and caps.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES, CONTENT, AND DATA PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT (INCLUDING AS TO IMAGERY, PLATE ART, AND BRAND ASSETS), AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, THAT DATA WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR THAT ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, CREATES ANY WARRANTY.

15. Limitation of liability

15.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LATENT OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

15.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICES, FROM ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION COMBINED, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).

15.3 WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (A) THIRD-PARTY IP, OR ANY CLAIM CONCERNING IMAGERY, PLATE ART, OR BRAND ASSETS; (B) YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON ANY DATA OR IMAGERY; (C) DATA ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR CHANGES; (D) SUSPENSION, MODIFICATION, OR DISCONTINUANCE OF ANY SERVICE; OR (E) EVENTS BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.

15.4 THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (SUCH AS LIABILITY FOR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR, WHERE NON-WAIVABLE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE), AND IN SUCH CASES OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY, AND THE PARTIES AGREE THEY REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK REFLECTED IN THE PRICING.

16. Governing law; dispute resolution; class-action waiver

16.1 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of Sections 16.3–16.5.

16.2 Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you must send a written description of the dispute to legal@vehiclesdb.com and give us thirty (30) days to resolve it informally. This is a condition precedent to any proceeding.

16.3 Binding individual arbitration. Except as set out in Section 16.6, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by JAMS under its applicable rules. If twenty-five (25) or more similar demands for arbitration are filed against us by claimants represented by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree that the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines and the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule (each effective May 1, 2024, as amended) are incorporated into and apply to this Agreement as the parties' written agreement to their application. All applicable statutes of limitations and filing-fee deadlines are tolled for any claim from the date it is queued or batched under such procedures until it is administratively opened. Each claimant's demand must include an affirmation, signed by the claimant, that the claimant is a current or former user of the Services and the facts of the claim are accurate to the claimant's knowledge. The seat of arbitration is Wyoming; hearings shall be conducted by videoconference by default, and any in-person hearing involving an individual (non-business) claimant shall be held in the county of that claimant's residence or another mutually agreed location. The language is English. For claimants who are consumers, the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards apply, and the consumer's total arbitration filing fee will not exceed USD $250, with all remaining JAMS fees borne by us as those standards require. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve all disputes, including the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Agreement, except that the validity and enforceability of the class-action waiver in Section 16.4 are reserved exclusively for a court.

16.4 Class-action and jury waiver. ALL PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The arbitrator has no authority to conduct a class, collective, or representative arbitration in any forum, and no award may be rendered on behalf of anyone other than the individual claimant. If the class-action waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in court under Section 16.7, and that holding shall not invalidate the remainder of this arbitration agreement.

16.5 Opt-out. You may opt out of Sections 16.3–16.4 by sending a single email to legal@vehiclesdb.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement, stating your name, account, and intent to opt out. No other formality is required. We will acknowledge valid opt-outs in writing and maintain a record of them. A valid opt-out under this Section also constitutes an opt-out from Sections 14.3–14.4 of the General Terms with respect to all disputes arising from or relating to VehiclesDB, and notice sent to either legal@vehiclesdb.com or legal [at] latentsoftware [dot] com is sufficient for both. Opting out does not affect any other provision of this Agreement.

16.6 Carve-outs. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual-property rights, misuse of Credentials, or breach of Sections 5–8, without the necessity of posting bond. You acknowledge that breach of Sections 5–8 would cause us irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall be entitled to recover our reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in any action or proceeding to enforce Sections 5–8 in which we prevail.

16.7 Venue. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in Wyoming shall have exclusive jurisdiction, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

16.8 Time bar. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM ACCRUED, OR IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. This Section does not apply where contractual shortening of a limitations period is prohibited by applicable law, and it is severable from, and its invalidity shall not affect, the arbitration agreement in Section 16.3 or any other provision.

17. General

17.1 Compliance; export. You shall comply with all applicable laws, including export-control, sanctions, and anti-corruption laws, and you represent that you are not located in, or owned or controlled by persons in, any embargoed jurisdiction or on any restricted-party list.

17.2 U.S. Government use. The Services and Data Products are commercial computer software and commercial data; government users acquire only the rights granted to all customers under this Agreement.

17.3 Publicity. We may identify you by name and logo as a customer in our marketing materials; you may revoke this permission prospectively by written notice.

17.4 Changes to these Terms. We may amend this Agreement, and any document that forms part of it, at any time by posting the amended version on our websites; the date at its head shows when it was posted, and posting is notice. We may, at our option and without obligation, also give notice by email to your account address or by in-product notice, or ask for your affirmative acceptance at sign-in or at purchase. An amended version applies (a) immediately to every account created, and every Plan purchased or renewed, on or after its posting, and to every feature, Plan, price, or product introduced with or after it; (b) immediately, to every account, where the change is non-material, is favourable to you, is required by law or by a court or regulator, or addresses a security, abuse, or legal risk; and (c) otherwise, to accounts that existed before its posting, on the effective date it states, which will be at least thirty (30) days after posting. You are responsible for reviewing the posted Agreement from time to time. Your continued use of the Services on or after the date an amended version applies to you constitutes your acceptance of it. Changes apply prospectively only and do not apply to claims that accrued before the date they apply to you. Material changes adverse to you to Section 16 (Dispute Resolution) apply to an existing account only upon affirmative acceptance or after a fresh thirty (30) day opt-out window equivalent to Section 16.5, running from the date the change applies to that account. If you do not agree to a change, you may terminate under Section 11 before it applies to you, and that is your sole remedy. Changes to prices, Plans, and credits are governed by Section 10.2 and changes to the Services by Section 4, and neither requires an amendment of this Agreement.

17.5 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent; any attempt is void. We may assign this Agreement freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

17.6 Notices. We may give any notice under this Agreement, at our choice, by email to your account address, by in-product notice, or by posting on our websites; notice by email is effective when sent, and notice by in-product notice or posting is effective when made available. You consent to receive all communications and notices electronically and are responsible for keeping your account address current. Notice to us must be sent to legal@vehiclesdb.com and is effective on receipt.

17.7 Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, labor disputes, internet or utility failures, denial-of-service or other attacks, acts of government, war, terrorism, epidemics, or failures of suppliers or third-party services.

17.8 Severability; reformation. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent, and the remainder shall continue in full force.

17.9 No waiver; entire agreement; interpretation. No failure to enforce is a waiver. This Agreement (including documents incorporated by reference) is the entire agreement regarding the Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings; the description of the Plan you purchased, as it stood when you purchased or last renewed it, states your scope, entitlements, and price for that paid period within Section 5.1, and we keep a record of it; apart from that, marketing pages, pricing pages, repository files, and other descriptive statements describe the offering as it stands and are not terms of, or commitments under, this Agreement. Purchase-order or other customer terms are expressly rejected and have no effect. Headings are for convenience; "including" means "including without limitation". There are no third-party beneficiaries. The parties are independent contractors. The English-language version controls over any translation.
