Disclaimer

Effective Date: February 16, 2026  |  Last Updated: March 1, 2026

1. General Disclaimer

The information, reports, and content provided by CarScreener (the "Service"), operated by Evengrid B.V. ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis strictly for general informational and educational purposes only.

Nothing contained in or delivered through the Service constitutes, or is intended to constitute, professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to automotive, mechanical, financial, legal, insurance, or tax advice. The Service is not a substitute for independent professional advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

You should always seek the advice of qualified professionals before making any decisions relating to the purchase, sale, financing, insuring, or registration of a vehicle. We expressly disclaim any responsibility for decisions made or actions taken in reliance upon information provided through the Service.

2. Nature of AI Verification Service

CarScreener is an AI-powered used car listing verification tool. Users may submit a car listing URL or describe a vehicle, and our system generates a verification report by cross-referencing available data sources, analysing listing photographs, and applying artificial intelligence algorithms.

What the Service Is

• An automated informational tool that aggregates and analyses publicly available data and user-submitted listing information.
• A supplementary research aid intended to assist consumers in making more informed decisions about used vehicle purchases.
• A technology platform that provides AI-generated observations and analysis based on available data at a specific point in time.

What the Service Is Not

• A vehicle inspection service, certification programme, or warranty provider.
• A substitute for a comprehensive, hands-on mechanical inspection by a qualified automotive professional.
• A guarantee, endorsement, or certification of any vehicle's condition, history, safety, roadworthiness, legality, or value.
• A licensed automotive advisory, brokerage, or dealership service.
• A replacement for independent legal, financial, or insurance advice.

3. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Our reports contain content that is generated, in whole or in part, by artificial intelligence systems. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI is not infallible. AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, misinterpretations, or outdated information. AI systems can produce incorrect or misleading outputs, sometimes referred to as "hallucinations."
• AI has inherent limitations. AI analysis is constrained by the quality, completeness, and accuracy of the input data it receives. AI cannot replicate human judgement, expertise, or the ability to physically inspect a vehicle.
• AI outputs are advisory only. All AI-generated observations, risk assessments, condition estimates, and recommendations are advisory in nature and should be treated as starting points for further investigation, not as definitive conclusions.
• AI models evolve. The AI models and algorithms we use are continually updated and refined. Results for the same input may vary over time as our models change.
• No guarantee of completeness. AI analysis may not identify all relevant issues, risks, defects, or discrepancies associated with a vehicle or listing.

4. Government Data Disclaimer

CarScreener cross-references vehicle data against official government records, including but not limited to:

• United Kingdom: MOT (Ministry of Transport) test history and DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) vehicle registration records.
• Netherlands: RDW (Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer) vehicle registration data and APK (Algemene Periodieke Keuring) inspection history.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Government data is sourced from publicly available APIs and databases maintained by third-party government agencies. We do not control, maintain, or verify the accuracy of these data sources.
• Government data may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or not up to date at the time of your query. There may be a lag between events (e.g., a vehicle passing an MOT test or APK inspection) and their reflection in government databases.
• Government records may not capture all relevant information about a vehicle's history, condition, or legal status. Records may be missing, incorrect, or incomplete due to administrative errors, data migration issues, or reporting delays.
• We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any government-sourced data presented in our reports.
• Changes to government APIs, data formats, or availability may affect the data we can retrieve and display, sometimes without prior notice.
• You should independently verify any critical government data through official channels (e.g., the MOT history service at gov.uk, RDW at rdw.nl) before relying on it for any purpose.
• If government data sources are temporarily unavailable at the time of your request, your report will be generated using available data only. The absence of government data in a report does not mean no issues exist — it means we were unable to retrieve official records at the time of generation.

5. No Vehicle Guarantees

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we make no guarantees regarding:

• The mechanical condition, structural integrity, or operational safety of any vehicle.
• Whether a vehicle has been involved in accidents, collisions, floods, fires, or other damaging events not reflected in available data.
• The accuracy of odometer readings or mileage figures.
• Whether a vehicle has outstanding finance, liens, encumbrances, or legal claims against it.
• Whether a vehicle has been stolen, cloned, written off, or is subject to any recall.
• Whether a vehicle complies with applicable emissions, safety, or roadworthiness standards.
• The suitability of any vehicle for any particular purpose.
• Whether information provided by a seller or listing platform is truthful, accurate, or complete.
• Future reliability, durability, or performance of any vehicle.
• The accuracy of any asking price or fair market value estimate.

A CarScreener report that does not identify issues with a vehicle does not mean that no issues exist. The absence of negative findings in a report should never be interpreted as a clean bill of health or endorsement.

6. Professional Inspection Limitations

CarScreener offers a Professional Inspection tier (from £89/€99, available on request and subject to Inspector coverage in your area) in which an independent contractor performs an on-site mechanical and visual inspection of a vehicle. This service is arranged manually and is not available through automated booking. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Independent contractors. Professional inspectors engaged through CarScreener are independent contractors, not employees, agents, or representatives of Evengrid B.V. We do not directly supervise, control, or direct the manner in which inspections are performed.
• No employment relationship. The engagement of inspectors through our platform does not create any employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between inspectors and Evengrid B.V.
• Scope limitations. Physical inspections are visual and mechanical in nature. They are not exhaustive engineering assessments. Inspectors cannot disassemble vehicles, remove body panels, access sealed components, or perform destructive testing.
• Hidden defects. Inspections cannot detect all defects, particularly those that are concealed, intermittent, latent, or not apparent during a standard inspection. Examples include but are not limited to: internal engine or transmission defects, hidden rust or corrosion beneath panels, intermittent electrical faults, concealed structural damage, and issues that only manifest under specific driving conditions or over time.
• Environmental factors. Inspection quality may be affected by weather conditions, lighting, location access, vehicle cleanliness, and other environmental factors beyond our control.
• Point-in-time assessment. An inspection reflects the condition of a vehicle at a specific moment. Vehicle condition can change rapidly due to use, accidents, mechanical failure, or other events occurring after an inspection.
• No warranty or guarantee. An inspection report, even a favourable one, does not constitute a warranty, guarantee, or certification of a vehicle's condition, safety, or fitness for purpose.
• Inspector qualifications. While we endeavour to engage qualified and experienced inspectors, we do not guarantee the qualifications, certifications, or competence of any individual inspector.
• No liability for inspector actions. We are not responsible for any acts, omissions, errors, negligence, or misconduct of any inspector.

7. Listing Photo Analysis Limitations

CarScreener uses AI to analyse photographs from vehicle listings to identify potential issues such as damage, paint mismatches, excessive wear, and other visual anomalies. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Photo quality dependency. The accuracy and usefulness of AI photo analysis depends entirely on the quality, resolution, lighting, angle, and completeness of the photographs provided in a listing. Low-quality, poorly lit, or limited photographs significantly reduce the effectiveness of analysis.
• Concealed damage. AI photo analysis cannot detect damage, defects, or modifications that are not visible in the provided photographs. Sellers may intentionally or unintentionally omit photographs that reveal issues.
• Photographic manipulation. Photographs may have been digitally altered, filtered, enhanced, cropped, or otherwise manipulated in ways that conceal defects or misrepresent the vehicle's appearance. While our AI attempts to detect such manipulation, it cannot guarantee detection in all cases.
• Lighting and angle limitations. Certain types of damage, paint work, body filler, rust, or wear are only visible under specific lighting conditions or from particular angles that may not be represented in listing photographs.
• False positives and negatives. AI photo analysis may incorrectly flag issues that do not exist (false positives) or fail to identify real issues (false negatives). Reflections, shadows, dirt, water spots, and photographic artefacts can all affect AI interpretation.
• Interior and undercarriage. Listing photographs typically do not provide adequate views of a vehicle's undercarriage, engine bay interior, boot/trunk lining, or other areas where significant issues may be present.
• No substitute for physical inspection. AI photo analysis is intended as a preliminary screening tool only. It is not a substitute for a thorough, in-person visual and mechanical inspection of a vehicle.

8. Third-Party Information Disclaimer

Our Service incorporates, references, or analyses information from various third-party sources, including but not limited to:

• Online vehicle listing platforms and classified advertisement websites.
• Government databases and public records (as detailed in Section 4).
• Vehicle manufacturers' published specifications and recall information.
• Seller-provided descriptions, photographs, and claims.
• Payment processing services (Stripe).

We do not control, verify, endorse, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any third-party information. Third-party content may be inaccurate, misleading, outdated, or fraudulent. We disclaim all liability arising from your reliance on any third-party information accessed through or referenced in our Service.

The inclusion of any third-party information in our reports does not imply our endorsement of, or affiliation with, any third-party provider, seller, dealer, or platform.

9. Not Professional Advice

The Service and all reports, content, and information provided through it do not constitute and must not be construed as:

• Mechanical or automotive advice. Our reports are not a substitute for a professional mechanical inspection by a qualified automotive technician or engineer.
• Legal advice. We do not provide advice regarding vehicle ownership, title disputes, consumer rights, contractual obligations, insurance claims, or any other legal matter. Consult a qualified solicitor or lawyer for legal advice.
• Financial advice. We do not provide advice regarding vehicle valuation, financing, investment, or any financial decision. Consult a qualified financial adviser for financial advice.
• Insurance advice. We do not advise on insurance coverage, claims, premiums, or adequacy. Consult a qualified insurance broker or adviser.
• Tax advice. We do not provide advice on vehicle-related taxes, duties, VAT, or any other fiscal matters. Consult a qualified tax adviser or accountant.

10. Limitation of Liability

10.3 Exclusion of Consequential Damages

In no event shall Evengrid B.V., its directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to:

• Imported vehicles may have limited or no data available in UK or Dutch government databases.
• We make no representations regarding the applicability of our reports to vehicles outside our supported markets.
• Regulatory frameworks, consumer protection laws, and vehicle standards differ between the UK and the Netherlands. Our reports do not constitute advice on jurisdiction-specific legal or regulatory compliance.
