Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 17 December 2025
Important Legal Notice
By using Clone Check, you acknowledge that our reports are informational tools only and do not constitute professional advice. You accept full responsibility for any decisions made based on our reports. We provide no guarantees, warranties, or assurances regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of our services.
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing and using Clone Check ("the Service", "we", "us", "our"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you must not use our Service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", "your") and Clone Check. Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of these Terms as they may be modified from time to time.
2. Service Description
Clone Check provides vehicle history reports and fraud detection analysis based on publicly available MOT (Ministry of Transport) data, DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) records, and proprietary fraud detection algorithms.
Our Service is provided for informational purposes only and should be used as one of many tools when evaluating a vehicle purchase or sale.
3. Disclaimers and Limitations
3.1 No Guarantees or Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
3.2 Accuracy of Information
We do not guarantee, represent, or warrant that:
- The information provided is accurate, complete, current, or error-free
- Our fraud detection algorithms will identify all fraudulent activities
- A vehicle flagged by our system is definitively fraudulent or cloned
- A vehicle not flagged by our system is free from fraud, cloning, or other issues
- Third-party data sources (DVLA, DVSA) are accurate or up-to-date
- The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
Important: Our reports use risk-based language (e.g., "High Risk of Identity Irregularity", "Potential Cloning Indicators") rather than definitive statements. We provide analysis and indicators only; we do not certify, verify, or conclusively determine whether a vehicle is cloned, fraudulent, or legitimate.
3.3 Not Professional Advice
Our reports do NOT constitute professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to legal, financial, or mechanical advice. You should always:
- Conduct an independent mechanical inspection by a qualified mechanic
- Verify the vehicle's identity (VIN, registration) independently
- Obtain professional advice before making purchase decisions
- Perform additional due diligence and background checks
- Review all vehicle documentation and history records
3.4 Data Limitations
Our analysis is based solely on data available from public sources and our proprietary algorithms. We have no access to police databases, insurance records, private service histories, or other non-public information that may be relevant to a vehicle's history.
MOT Data Delays: MOT test data is uploaded to the DVSA database by independent third-party testing stations. There may be delays between when a test is conducted and when the data becomes available in public records. We have no control over the timeliness or accuracy of data uploaded by testing stations. Recent MOT tests may not yet appear in our reports.
4. User Responsibilities
By using our Service, you agree that you are solely responsible for:
- All decisions made based on our reports and analysis
- Verifying information through independent sources
- Conducting appropriate due diligence before vehicle transactions
- Seeking professional advice when necessary
- Complying with all applicable laws and regulations
- Using the Service only for lawful purposes

5. Exclusion and Limitation of Liability

5.3 User Assumes All Risk
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:
- You use our Service entirely at your own risk
- You are solely responsible for all decisions made based on our reports
- Our reports are ONE complementary tool among MANY you should use
- You MUST conduct your own independent research and due diligence
- You MUST obtain professional inspections and advice before vehicle transactions
- We provide NO guarantees, warranties, or assurances of any kind
- The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" only
5.4 Fundamental Basis of Agreement
This complete exclusion of liability is a FUNDAMENTAL and NON-NEGOTIABLE term of your use of Clone Check. The Service would not be provided without this exclusion. If you do not accept complete responsibility for your decisions and complete exclusion of our liability, you must NOT use the Service.
5.5 Maximum Liability Cap
To the extent any liability cannot be excluded under Section 5.0, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or related to the Service shall be limited to the amount actually paid by you for the specific report in question.
For a single premium check (typically £2.99), this means our maximum liability is £2.99. For free checks, our maximum liability is £0.00. This cap applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise.
This limitation reflects the informational nature of our Service and the low cost relative to potential vehicle purchase decisions. It is a fundamental basis upon which the Service is provided.
6. Indemnification

7. User Accounts and Payments
7.1 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.
7.2 Payments, Refunds, and Right of Withdrawal
All payments are processed securely through our payment provider. We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time.
14-Day Cooling-Off Period: Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, UK consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal for online purchases. However, this right is lost when digital content is fully performed with your express consent.
Important: When you purchase a premium vehicle check, you will be asked to tick a box confirming: "I consent to immediate performance of the contract and acknowledge that I will lose my right of withdrawal once the report is delivered." By proceeding with payment after ticking this box, you expressly request immediate delivery of your report and waive your 14-day cooling-off period. Once your report is generated and delivered, no refund will be provided except as required by law.
7.3 Subscription Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period. No refunds will be provided for partial periods.
7.4 Marketing Communications
During registration, you may opt-in to receive marketing emails about special offers, updates, product news, and promotional content. This is entirely optional and you can change your preference at any time. We will never sell or share your email address with third parties for their marketing purposes. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us at legal@clone-check.com. Important account-related emails (such as security alerts, payment confirmations, and service updates) will still be sent regardless of your marketing preference.
