Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 17 January 2026
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 data analysis and pattern recognition services based on publicly available MOT (Ministry of Transport) data and DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) records. We analyze data patterns and cross-reference public records to identify irregularities and inconsistencies that may warrant further investigation.
IMPORTANT: Clone Check is an INFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS SERVICE ONLY. We do NOT verify, certify, authenticate, or conclusively determine vehicle legitimacy. We do NOT conduct physical inspections. We do NOT access police, insurance, or private databases. We provide data pattern analysis to highlight areas that may require professional investigation - nothing more.
Our Service must be used as ONE tool among MANY when evaluating a vehicle purchase or sale. Professional inspection and independent verification are ESSENTIAL before any vehicle transaction.
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 and Analysis Limitations
We do not guarantee, represent, or warrant that:
- The information provided is accurate, complete, current, or error-free
- Our pattern analysis will identify all irregularities or data inconsistencies
- A vehicle showing irregularities is definitively problematic or illegitimate
- A vehicle showing no irregularities is free from issues, problems, or concerns
- Third-party data sources (DVLA, DVSA) are accurate, complete, or up-to-date
- The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
- Our analysis replaces professional inspection or independent verification
Critical Understanding: Our reports use indicator-based language (e.g., "Data Irregularity Identified", "Pattern Requires Investigation", "Inconsistency Noted") rather than definitive conclusions. We provide pattern analysis and data cross-referencing ONLY. We do NOT and CANNOT certify, verify, authenticate, or conclusively determine whether a vehicle is legitimate, problematic, or has any specific issues. ALL findings are informational indicators requiring professional verification.
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.

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

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.

Consumer Rights: If you are a consumer (an individual acting for purposes wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft, or profession), nothing in this clause affects your rights to bring proceedings in the courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you are resident in those jurisdictions, or any other mandatory consumer protection rights under applicable law.

- Claims in small claims court (under £10,000)
