Welcome to CarDealAlerts. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the CarDealAlerts website, software, alerts, subscriptions, and related services ("Service").
By using CarDealAlerts, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. About CarDealAlerts
CarDealAlerts is a software service that helps users discover potential used vehicle deals by monitoring public vehicle listings and sending alerts based on user-defined search criteria, market signals, and AI-assisted deal scoring.
CarDealAlerts does not sell vehicles, own vehicle inventory, broker vehicle sales, inspect vehicles, guarantee vehicle availability, or represent any seller, dealer, marketplace, or vehicle manufacturer.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your country, to create an account or purchase a paid subscription.
By using the Service, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the legal authority to use the Service and purchase subscriptions.
3. No Affiliation With Marketplaces
CarDealAlerts is an independent software product.
CarDealAlerts is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Facebook, Facebook Marketplace, Meta, Craigslist, Cars.com, CarGurus, OfferUp, AutoTrader, any vehicle marketplace, dealer, manufacturer, or seller.
All marketplace names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only for descriptive purposes.
4. Vehicle Listings and Deal Alerts
CarDealAlerts may provide alerts, estimated deal scores, price comparisons, listing summaries, and other information based on available data.
You understand and agree that:
- Vehicle listings may be inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, duplicated, removed, or changed by the original seller or marketplace.
- Prices, mileage, condition, availability, title status, accident history, and seller information may not always be accurate.
- Deal scores and AI-generated insights are estimates only.
- A "good deal" or "underpriced" alert does not guarantee that the vehicle is safe, legitimate, available, or worth purchasing.
- You are responsible for verifying all vehicle information before contacting a seller or making a purchase.
5. No Financial, Legal, Mechanical, or Purchasing Advice
CarDealAlerts provides software-based information only. We do not provide financial advice, legal advice, insurance advice, mechanical inspections, title verification, fraud checks, or professional vehicle purchasing advice.
Before buying a vehicle, you should independently verify the listing, inspect the vehicle, check title and history reports, confirm ownership, review documents, and consult qualified professionals when needed.
6. User Accounts
You may need to create an account to use certain features. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account.
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for illegal, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful purposes.
- Attempt to copy, resell, reverse engineer, overload, scrape, or interfere with the Service.
- Use the Service to spam sellers or marketplaces.
- Misrepresent your identity or payment information.
- Violate any applicable marketplace terms, laws, or regulations.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or create risk for CarDealAlerts, users, marketplaces, or payment providers.
7. Subscriptions and Billing
CarDealAlerts may offer free and paid subscription plans. Paid subscriptions provide access to additional features such as more saved searches, faster alerts, AI deal scoring, or dealer-focused tools.
Payments are processed securely by Dodo Payments, our payment provider and Merchant of Record. Dodo Payments may handle payment processing, subscription billing, tax calculation and remittance, invoices, fraud prevention, refunds, disputes, and related payment services.
By purchasing a subscription, you also agree to Dodo Payments' applicable buyer terms, checkout terms, and payment policies.
8. Renewals and Cancellation
Paid subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the next billing date.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account, billing portal, or by contacting us at support@cardealalerts.com.
After cancellation, you will continue to have access to paid features until the end of your current billing period, unless otherwise stated.
9. Refund Policy
Refunds and cancellations are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Because CarDealAlerts is a digital subscription service, payments are generally non-refundable once a billing period has started, except where required by law or approved under our Refund Policy.
10. Free Plans and Trials
We may offer free plans, limited searches, trial access, or promotional credits. Free features may be limited, changed, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
