IP & Takedown Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-01

Latent Software LLC ("we") respects intellectual-property rights and expects users of VehiclesDB to do the same. This Policy explains how rights holders can submit complaints regarding content available through the VehiclesDB services. We may remove, suppress, correct, or disable access to any material at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice, and without liability to any user. Nothing in this Policy creates any obligation to any person, admits any liability, or waives any defense, all of which are expressly reserved.

1. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

This Section addresses material stored or made available at the direction of users of the services (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)); complaints about our first-party content are handled under Sections 2–3 below. If you believe material available through the services infringes your copyright, send a written notification to our Designated Agent containing substantially the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  1. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
  2. identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to locate it (URL, API endpoint and parameters, or dataset file and record);
  3. your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
  4. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  5. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf; and
  6. your physical or electronic signature.

Designated Agent: DMCA Department, Latent Software LLC, 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA — [email protected]. This is the designated agent for Latent Software LLC and all of its products and websites (VehiclesDB is a Latent Software product); the same designation is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We may forward notices to the affected user and to third parties. We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are repeat infringers.

Counter-notification. If you believe material you provided was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification containing the elements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) to the Designated Agent.

2. Trademark and brand complaints

Vehicle makes, models, and related names appear in VehiclesDB as plain-text facts solely to identify the vehicles to which data relates; they are the property of their respective owners, and no affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement is implied. If you are a trademark owner (or authorized agent) and believe any use of your mark or brand asset in the services is improper, or you wish any brand asset corrected or removed, email [email protected] with: the mark at issue and proof of your rights or authority; the location of the material (URL, endpoint, dataset record); and the action requested (correction, suppression, or removal).

We review trademark complaints promptly and decide, in our sole discretion, whether and to what extent to act. We may request additional documentation. Suppression or removal of material is not an admission of any kind.

3. Data source and accuracy complaints

If you represent a data source (including an official register) and believe your license terms or notice requirements are not being met, or if you believe any factual record is inaccurate, email [email protected] (sources) or [email protected] (accuracy) with the record identifier and the correction requested. Factual corrections flow through our verification process; we do not commit to any particular outcome or timeline.

4. Personal data

VehiclesDB products are about vehicles, not people, and are not intended to contain personal data. If you believe personal data about you appears in any VehiclesDB product, contact [email protected] and we will review and, where appropriate, remove it. See the Privacy Policy.

5. Effect on users

Where we remove, correct, or suppress material, affected users must comply with cache-purge obligations in the Terms of Service § 5.3 and § 6.3 upon notice, without refund or liability on our part.
