Welcome to ShoppingVehicles.com. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of our website, dealership search, Certified Partner directory, and Brainiac AI assistant. By using the site or submitting an enquiry, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. About Shopping Vehicles
ShoppingVehicles.com is a research and directory service that helps you find dealerships and prepare to shop for a vehicle. We are not a dealership, broker, or lender. We do not own, sell, or deliver vehicles, set prices, or arrange financing. Any purchase, lease, trade-in, or financing is a transaction solely between you and the dealership or other seller.
2. Third-party pricing
Shopping Vehicles is not responsible for dealerships’ 3rd party pricing.
Prices, fees, incentives, trade-in values, availability, and financing terms are set and controlled by dealerships and other third parties, not by us. Pricing you see on a dealership’s own website, in its advertising, in third-party listings, or hear from a dealership may change or contain errors. We do not verify, guarantee, or accept responsibility for it. Always confirm the full price, including dealer fees, taxes, and add-ons, directly with the dealership, and get it in writing before you buy.
3. Dealership information
Dealership names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, hours, ratings, and photos come from third-party sources, including Google, and from the dealerships themselves. This information may change without notice and may be incomplete or out of date. We do not guarantee vehicle availability, pricing, financing, or dealership terms. Please confirm all details directly with the dealership.
4. Certified Partners
Certified Partners are dealerships that have agreed to our program standards:
- a verified state dealer license and a physical sales location;
- confirmed contact details that are re-verified regularly;
- replying to enquiries from ShoppingVehicles.com shoppers within one business day; and
- honoring advertised pricing and disclosing dealer fees before you sign.
Certified Partners pay a program fee, so their listings are paid placements. A Certified Partner badge is not a ranking, a guarantee, or an endorsement of any specific vehicle, price, or financing offer. Our program standards do not make us a party to any transaction or responsible for a dealership’s conduct. We encourage you to compare more than one dealership before you buy.
5. Brainiac AI
Brainiac AI is an automated assistant that offers general information about shopping for vehicles. Its responses are generated by artificial intelligence and may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Brainiac AI is not a dealership, salesperson, financial advisor, lender, or lawyer, and nothing it says is a quote, an offer, or professional advice. Please verify important details with a dealership or a qualified professional before making decisions, and do not share sensitive personal information in the chat.
6. Using the site
You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:
- scrape, harvest, or copy dealership data or site content by automated means without our written permission;
- submit false, misleading, or abusive content;
- impersonate any person or business;
- interfere with or attempt to disrupt the site or its security; or
- use the site to send spam or unsolicited promotions.
7. Enquiries and communications
Information you submit through a form is used to respond to your request and, when you ask us to connect you with a dealership, is shared with that dealership. By submitting an enquiry, you agree that we and the dealership may contact you about it. See our Privacy Policy for details.
8. Third-party sites and services
Our site links to and uses third-party services, such as dealership websites, Google Maps and Places, and AI providers. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, practices, or availability. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms.
9. Intellectual property
The site’s design, text, graphics, logos (including Shopping Vehicles and Brainiac AI), and software are owned by or licensed to us and protected by law. You may use the site for personal, non-commercial shopping research. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute our content without permission. Dealership names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, reliability, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Shopping Vehicles and its owners, operators, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of the site or your dealings with any dealership or other third party, including pricing, vehicle condition, financing, or availability.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when they last changed. By continuing to use the site after a change, you accept the updated Terms.
