Terms of Use

Acceptance of these Terms

By using Haki Auto, you agree to these Terms of Use. No checkbox or account acceptance process is currently used. The appropriate acceptance mechanism and final wording remain subject to qualified legal review.

What Haki Auto provides

Haki Auto is an informational vehicle-research and decision-support tool. It may combine VIN decoding, vehicle specifications, market information, recalls, owner complaints, manufacturer communications and technical service bulletins, efficiency information, vehicle-history-related research, available ownership-cost estimates and vehicle-comparison logic. Coverage and availability vary by vehicle and data source.

Informational purpose

Haki Auto provides research assistance, not a professional determination or a guarantee. Outputs such as “Worth Considering,” “Review Before Buying,” “Research Further” and “Proceed Carefully” summarize available evidence to support your own decision. They do not certify condition, safety, reliability, value or suitability.

Vehicle condition and independent inspection

Haki Auto does not physically inspect vehicles and cannot determine the condition of an individual vehicle. Before purchasing, consider the verification appropriate to your situation, such as an independent pre-purchase inspection, service and maintenance records, title or history records, an exact-VIN recall lookup, seller documentation, a test drive and professional mechanical evaluation.

VIN and specification accuracy

VIN decoding and configuration data may be incomplete, unavailable, conflicting, delayed, incorrectly associated or model-level rather than exact-vehicle-level. Independently verify material facts such as trim, drivetrain, engine, towing, seating and cargo capacity. A trim entered or selected by a shopper is not presented as VIN-confirmed.

Recalls and safety information

Recall research may initially operate at the year, make and model level. Haki Auto may use known configuration evidence to help assess relevance, but a displayed recall is not necessarily applicable to the exact VIN, and the absence of a displayed recall does not guarantee that no open recall exists. Broad, conditional and known-configuration mismatch classifications are research aids—not authoritative manufacturer or government determinations—and do not certify vehicle safety.

Verify exact-VIN recall status with the appropriate manufacturer or dealer and official government recall resources before relying on recall information.

Owner complaints and service bulletins

Owner complaints are reports that may be incomplete and are not population-adjusted reliability rates. They do not establish that every vehicle has a reported problem, and zero reports do not prove reliability.

Technical service bulletins and manufacturer communications are not safety recalls and do not establish that a specific vehicle has a defect. Applicability may depend on trim, equipment, software, drivetrain, production date or other configuration that requires separate verification.

Market value and Deal Quality

Market values are estimates and may reflect dealer asking-price information rather than completed transaction prices. Actual prices vary with location, mileage, condition, configuration, options, title and history, supply, demand, fees and negotiation. Deal Quality is a research aid, not an appraisal, and Haki Auto does not guarantee that a vehicle can be bought or sold at a displayed value.

Ownership costs and financial information

Fuel, electricity, financing, maintenance and other available ownership calculations are estimates. Actual costs vary and a feature may exclude taxes, fees, repairs, insurance, depreciation or other expenses. Independently evaluate affordability and the assumptions used. Haki Auto does not provide individualized financial, lending, insurance, tax or legal advice.

Insurance, financing and future third-party services

Haki Auto does not issue insurance policies, make loans or currently generate partner insurance quotes or loan offers. Current partner URLs are not active, and no existing commercial relationship is claimed. Haki Auto may offer third-party links or introductions in the future; any compensated or referral relationship will receive appropriate disclosure before it becomes active.

Utah Better Deals private beta

“Same Car, Better Deals Nearby” is a limited, invitation-controlled private beta currently available only for supported Utah ZIP codes. Haki Auto may change, suspend or withdraw this feature, or any ZIP code's eligibility, at any time.

An invitation code only permits access to this beta feature. It is not a personal account, and redeeming a code does not verify the identity of a named person. Codes must not be published, sold, broadly redistributed or used to attempt to bypass access controls. Haki Auto may revoke access to protect the service, other shoppers or provider quota.

You must initiate each listing search yourself; Better Deals never searches automatically. Availability is subject to per-shopper rate limits, daily and global request budgets, and provider-quota safeguards, and a search may be temporarily unavailable as a result.

Dealer listings and Better Deals analysis

Better Deals listings originate from third-party, dealer-reported information supplied through MarketCheck, a third-party inventory-data provider. These Terms do not claim ownership of MarketCheck's data. Listing information may be incomplete, delayed, changed, withdrawn or inaccurate.

Haki Auto has not inspected the listed vehicles and does not guarantee price, mileage, condition, configuration, availability, dealer identity or a vehicle's eligibility for sale. Verify all material details directly with the dealer before relying on a listing.

Labels, savings figures and ranking shown are Haki Auto's own analysis of available listing information. They are not an appraisal, a guarantee or a dealer endorsement. Listing order is not currently influenced by dealer payment or sponsorship.

Do not scrape, automatically bulk-extract, resell, redistribute or archive Better Deals listing information.

Shared results

Share Result lets you create a link to a saved snapshot of one vehicle research result. A shared result is a snapshot, not a live report: it shows the information as it was when the link was created, is not refreshed when someone opens it, and may be out of date, incomplete or no longer accurate.

The asking price, mileage, state, trim and other details in a shared result come from the person who created it and are not verified by Haki Auto. Haki Auto has not verified the seller, the listing, or the vehicle's condition, history or availability. A shared result is not a certification, inspection, appraisal or endorsement of any vehicle, seller or price.

Anyone who has the link can view the shared result until it expires or is stopped. If you create a link, you decide who receives it and whether to show the full VIN, and Haki Auto cannot control who a recipient passes it to. Links last 7, 30 or 90 days, and you can stop sharing earlier from the browser you used to create the link. Haki Auto may disable or remove any link, or turn the feature off, at any time, for example to protect the service, other people or its data providers, or to meet legal requirements. The Privacy Policy explains what is saved and how long it is kept.

Haki Auto is not a party to any transaction between a sender, a recipient and a seller, and is not responsible for what they agree or for decisions made from a shared result. Do not use Share Result to mislead others about a vehicle.

Third-party data and services

Haki Auto relies on public and third-party sources that may include NHTSA, Vehicles.dev, fueleconomy.gov, EPA data and — for the Better Deals private beta — MarketCheck. Their information and services may contain errors, omissions or delays or may become unavailable. Haki Auto does not guarantee third-party accuracy or availability and does not claim ownership of third-party or government data.

Your responsibilities

• Provide accurate information when using the research tools.
• Independently verify vehicle facts that materially affect your decision.
• Use Haki Auto lawfully and without interfering with its operation.
• Do not attempt unauthorized access to Admin, server or database systems.
• Do not submit personal, contact or sensitive information through optional feedback.

Acceptable use

Normal personal vehicle research and reasonable use are welcome. Do not use Haki Auto unlawfully, maliciously exploit it, intentionally submit harmful payloads, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with service operation, or use scraping or automation in a way that materially overloads or disrupts the service.

Intellectual property

The Haki Auto interface, original text, software and branding are protected to the extent applicable. Vehicle names and trademarks, government materials, provider data and other third-party content remain subject to the rights of their respective owners. These Terms do not claim ownership over government or third-party data.

Service availability and changes

Haki Auto and its beta features may change. Features or data sources may be added, revised or removed, and maintenance, outages or interruptions may occur. Continuous or uninterrupted availability is not promised.

No warranty

Haki Auto and its information are provided for informational purposes on an “as available” basis and may contain errors or omissions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Haki Auto does not make guarantees about accuracy, completeness, availability, vehicle condition, safety, reliability or purchasing outcomes. Final warranty language requires qualified legal review.

Limitation of liability

You remain responsible for vehicle-purchase decisions and independent verification. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Haki Auto is not responsible for losses resulting from reliance on incomplete, unavailable or inaccurate research information. No arbitrary monetary cap or jurisdiction-specific waiver is stated here. Final limitation language requires qualified legal review.

Indemnification decision

These draft Terms do not include a broad indemnification obligation. Whether a proportionate provision is appropriate remains a qualified legal-review decision.

Disputes and governing law — legal review required

No governing law, venue, arbitration requirement, class-action waiver or jury-trial waiver has been selected. Those decisions require explicit approval and qualified legal review before production publication.

Children

Haki Auto is a vehicle-research service and does not intentionally collect information from children. No minimum age is stated pending qualified legal review.

Privacy

The Haki Auto Privacy Policy describes current information practices and provides the privacy contact for questions and data requests.

Restriction of access

Because Haki Auto does not have shopper accounts, there is no account-suspension process. Access may be restricted when reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, service integrity or legal requirements.

Changes to these Terms

These Terms may change as Haki Auto evolves. Updates will be posted with a revised effective or last-updated date. Haki Auto does not promise email notice because it does not collect shopper email addresses for that purpose.
