7. Disclaimer Regarding Accuracy of Information and Personal Data
Product specifications and other information have either been provided by the Company, by third parties or have been supplied and collected from other sources, including, inter alia, the Department of Transport and/or other bodies over which the Company has no control.
While the Company attempts to ensure that the information on the Site and contained in any report is accurate, the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy, reliability or completeness of any information provided on the Site or in any report and shall not be responsible for any error or omission in the information supplied to you.
You are advised that some of the information upon which the reports produced by the Company are based, rely on information provided to the Company on a weekly basis and therefore the report may not show any record or information registered in respect of the particular vehicle up to a week prior to the date of the report. The Company shall not be liable in respect of such inaccuracy or loss arising there from. In particular, you are advised that certain information regarding the current and previous status of the vehicle contained in the Car History Check, will only show its status as and from the 29th May, 2006 onwards. If the status of a vehicle had changed or altered prior to that date, then the report may not reveal same.
The Company does not hold any personal information pertaining to owners of vehicles (either current or historical). For the avoidance of doubt, you are also advised that the Service does not provide or include any evidence as to the identity or any other personal information of the registered owner or any previous registered owner, or the vendor or any previous vendor of any vehicle. You shall ensure that you do not use the information made available to you pursuant to the Service in such a manner as to constitute “personal data” within the terms of Data Protection Legislation. You shall indemnify the Company from and against any cost, charge, liability, loss, damage or expense incurred by the Company as a result of the failure by you to comply with Data Protection Legislation.
Some of the Services provided by the Company provide information regarding finance attaching to the vehicle. This information is based solely on the register (“the Register”) operated by Hire Purchase Information Limited (“HPI”), ICB House, Newstead, Clonskeagh Road, Dublin, 14 and is furnished subject to the following conditions and limitations:
1. (i) Entries on the Register are based solely on information supplied to HPI by it’s own members and subscribers and so no guarantees can be given in relation to the present status of any vehicle
2. (ii) HPI (and therefore the Company) does not claim to have a complete record of every vehicle which is the subject of a hire purchase, leasing or other financial agreement and the fact that a report furnished to you may state that the relevant vehicle is not subject to a financial arrangement is not conclusive evidence that that is the case.
No company in Ireland has access to An Garda Síochána stolen files and whilst the Company is working hard with An Garda Síochána for the release of this data, we advise not to be mis-sold data which contains a stolen vehicle check. Please contact us if you have any concerns a vehicle may be stolen.
The Company seeks to provide our customers with the best service possible and as part of that service we look to obtain information on all vehicle write-offs. The Company must comply with the scheme of rules set down by the Data Protection Commission on the issue of write-offs. This means that the Company is not permitted to hold certain write-off records.
The Company seeks to provide our customers with the best service possible and as part of that service we look to obtain as many mileage readings as we can, provided to you via the National Mileage Register. The Company must comply with the scheme of rules set down by the Data Protection Commission on the issue of mileage. This means that the Company is not allowed to hold certain mileage readings.
You may avail of the service offered by the third party company CPG Limited in respect of the Car Price Guide (“CPG”). Indications of price in respect of CPG are indicative only and the actual open market selling price may vary depending on the particular characteristics of the vehicle for which a valuation is sought. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or reliability of any information provided on the Site or in any report by CPG and shall not be responsible for any error or omission in the information supplied to you. The Company shall not be liable in respect of any inaccuracy or loss arising from use of or reliance on CPG data.
In particular, the Company shall not be liable for the accuracy of, or any loss or damage arising from, any information that the Company supplies to you as a result of any incomplete or inaccurate data or information supplied to the Company by you or as a result of any other fault attributable to you.

8. National Mileage Register
Mileage readings are being added from different sources on a regular basis and the Company takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for adding a record after a check was carried out. The Company can only check its database (“The National Mileage Register” or “NMR”) to confirm an odometer reading if you first enter the current mileage reading on the vehicle’s odometer onto the Company database, NMR. You hereby warrant that the reading that you submit is a true, accurate and up-to-date record of the mileage stated on the odometer based on your own inspection of the vehicle and you agree to indemnify the Company for all and any loss that it may suffer arising from an inaccurate reading being submitted. You also consent to your reading being kept on the Company’s database for use by the Company for any purpose whatsoever in the future including, for the avoidance of doubt, any commercial purpose.
The Company does not hold nor does it warrant that it does hold a database of odometer readings for all vehicles and accordingly it will only be able to provide a report in relation to an odometer reading for a particular vehicle if that vehicle’s odometer reading is already on the NMR database.
The Company will note on the vehicle report if the submitted odometer reading is lower than the reading already on the Company’s NMR database for the vehicle requested and, if that be the case, advise you to make a further enquiry.
Under no circumstances does the Company warrant the accuracy of the information contained on its database. This disclaimer is in addition to (and not instead of) the terms of Clause 7 of these terms.

9. Write-Off Data
Information concerning whether a vehicle has been listed by an insurer as written off its books (“Write-off Data”) is being added on a daily basis and the Company takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for adding a record after a check was carried out. Engineering write-offs are being notified by Irish insurers to the Vehicle Registration Unit, Driver and Vehicle Computer Services Division, Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, Shannon Town Centre, Shannon, Co. Clare and are then made available to you pursuant to the Service. Less dangerous economic write offs are made available by insurers at a slower rate as a classification system is being implemented. The Company would always urge caution where economic write-offs are concerned and recommend an automotive engineer’s inspection to eliminate the possibility of purchasing an Irish economic write-off. Under no circumstances does the Company warrant the accuracy of the Write-off Data made available to you pursuant to the Service. This disclaimer is in addition to (and not instead of) the terms of Clause 7 of these terms.
