Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using GearVerify tools, you agree to these terms of service. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

2. Description of Service

GearVerify provides free browser-based tools to help users check public data about vehicles, product recalls, and safety risks. Tools include VIN decoding, recall checking, OBD code lookup, tire size calculators, towing calculators, and product recall search.

3. Not Professional Advice

GearVerify tools are for informational purposes only. They do not provide legal, medical, financial, mechanical, or official safety advice. Results are based on public data and user-entered values and should not be the sole basis for any safety-critical decision.

Always verify with the official agency, manufacturer, dealer, mechanic, or qualified professional before acting on safety-critical information.

4. Data Accuracy and Limitations

GearVerify relies on official public data sources including NHTSA and CPSC. Data availability depends on the tool. A "no match" result does not guarantee that a vehicle or product is safe, unrecalled, roadworthy, or compliant.

Recall data can be delayed, incomplete, or matched differently by VIN, year/make/model, manufacturer, or official agency systems. GearVerify does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data.

5. Privacy

GearVerify does not require an account. Most tools run in your browser and do not store sensitive inputs such as full VINs by default. GearVerify does not sell or share user-entered data.

6. Calculators and Estimates

GearVerify calculators provide estimates based on user-entered values. These estimates are not guarantees of performance, safety, or compliance. Always verify official ratings, owner's manual guidance, and professional advice before making critical decisions about towing, tire sizes, or vehicle modifications.

7. Third-Party Links

GearVerify may link to official government agency websites and, in the future, affiliate products. These links are provided for convenience. GearVerify is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of third-party sites.

8. Affiliate Disclosure

When GearVerify includes affiliate links, they will be clearly disclosed. GearVerify may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to the user.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

GearVerify tools are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. No guarantees are made about the accuracy, reliability, or availability of any tool or data.

10. Limitation of Liability

GearVerify and its operators are not liable for any damages arising from the use of this site or its tools. This includes but is not limited to damages from reliance on tool results, API failures, or data inaccuracies.
