Any use of the Website, products, or services constitutes an acceptance by you to be bound by these Terms.

We may update these Terms at our discretion and from time to time, which may include future terms, licenses, and other policies or procedures.

2. DESCRIPTION OF INSIDEVIN SERVICE.

We provide critical, real-time data through Vehicle History Reports and Auto Auction Records Reports to automotive dealers and consumers who are interested in purchasing used vehicles. Our Vehicle History Reports contain data that the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) provides and both lien and theft information that NMVTIS does not provide. Our Vehicle History Reports may contain information from the auto auction database if the vehicle has ever been sold via auction. This includes photos and details that the public has access to on the auto auction website when the vehicle was available for sale. We also offer this information in InsideVIN Auto Auction Records Reports. InsideVIN Vehicle Inspection Reports are made up of data from our representatives that perform the vehicle inspections.

We do not warrant that the information we provide in these reports is always accurate, timely, or complete. It is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as the sole source of information when purchasing a used vehicle. Any reliance is at the user’s own risk. We cannot be held liable for any purchases you make in reliance on our reports.
