1. License Agreement

Auto Praise, LLC hereby grants you a non-exclusive license to use this PPIS for individual use of a personal nature. You may not:

  1. (1) Modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the PPIS, or permit other individuals to do so.
  2. (2) Rent, lease, transfer, or otherwise transfer rights to the PPIS.
  3. (3) Make copies of this report, or disseminate it in any way without our express written permission.

2. Vehicle Inspections

Our vehicle inspections are prepared from visual and external checks only and are limited to the parts and/or items identified on the inspection report sheet. Vehicle inspections do not involve dismantling or disturbing any structure, assembly, component, or internal mechanism.

3. Items Not Checked

Items which are listed on the inspection report sheet but are not reasonably accessible on the checked vehicle will not be inspected. In such circumstances, we will be under no obligation to inspect and/or report on the part/item in question and will mark the relevant section of the report accordingly.

4. Items Not Checked (continued)

Without prejudice to clauses 1 and 2 above, please note that amongst the items we do not check are:

  1. (a) Oil or fuel consumption.
  2. (b) Exact source of oil leaks.
  3. (c) Brake lining material if inaccessible.
  4. (d) Brake fluid for contamination. (Brake fluid will deteriorate over a period of time, and we advise that it be replaced as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer).
  5. (e) Operation of cassette, compact disc players, or other in-car entertainment apart from a radio.
  6. (f) Quality of sound or radio reception, alarm systems, and non-standard accessories.
  7. (g) Cylinder compression.
  8. (h) Vehicle electrics and electronics by the use of specific diagnostic equipment.
  9. (i) The accuracy of in-car computer systems (for example, but in no way restricted to, computers used for route finding, fuel efficiency, or otherwise).
  10. (j) Exhaust emissions, using gas-analyzing equipment.
  11. (k) Air conditioning function and efficiency by the use of specific diagnostic equipment.
  12. (l) Originality of specific components or equipment save taking photographs of the same, and engine and chassis numbers when clearly visible.

4.1 Our inspection can only describe and/or identify defects actually found and/or which are reasonably capable of being found upon external visual consideration of the vehicle at the time of inspection. We cannot be held and are not responsible for any latent defects, which are later discovered. (We cannot advise of defects if we cannot see them, or they are not apparent during inspection of the vehicle concerned). In particular, please note that (without limiting the possibility to such vehicles) vehicles over 5 years old, those that have a high mileage or which have been subjected to abnormal use may have latent defects. Whilst such defects may, in appropriate circumstances, give rise to a claim against a vehicle supplier they fall outside the scope of our reports and our reports are provided to, and accepted by, customers on this basis.

4.2 Please note that the life expectancy of a brake, exhaust or clutch system is uncertain and difficult to predict. Without prejudice to clause 1 and clause 4.1 above, the fact that such items have not been identified as faulty on the report does not, and should not be taken to, imply that such a system will have a continuing life expectancy from the time of our check.

4.3 Information on values of vehicles of the same type and similar mileage may be made available, on request, after the inspection has been completed. Such information is provided from recognized third party sources.

4.4 Any estimates for value/repair/rectification given by the operative in connection with an inspection reflect the subjective opinion of the operative concerned and are given solely as a matter of goodwill. Customers should not rely on such estimates in making any decision with regard to the vehicle inspected; estimates should be verified by an appropriate appraiser/repairer.

4.5 In order for the underside of the vehicle to be properly inspected it MUST be placed on a lift. If no lift is made available at the time of the inspection, the

5. Road Testing

Road testing is carried out within the immediate area of the vehicle inspection. The term 'Test-Drive' does not mean that the inspector will actually drive the vehicle himself. If the inspector finds that the vehicle is not legal for use on the road or deemed unsafe, the inspector may at his sole discretion elect to observe from the passenger seat or not ride in the vehicle at all. Due to insurance regulations, our inspectors will ride as a passenger on the road test which will be conducted by the vehicle owner or other individual who is insured to drive the vehicle being inspected. If, due to circumstances outside of our reasonable control, a road test cannot be carried out at the time of inspection, the original fee shall remain fully payable and an additional $100 fee will be payable for any subsequent road test we are asked to undertake. The customer is required to confirm to us that the vehicle requiring an inspection is insured and has a current registration; we will not be obliged to carry out a test drive if the customer is unable to confirm that the vehicle concerned has a valid registration and is insured. The carrying out of a test drive does not mean that we have seen a valid registration certificate.

6. Inspection Location

It is the customer's responsibility to, and the customer must, ensure that proper provision is made (including the obtaining of any necessary permission) for our inspection to be carried out on garage premises with a means of elevating the vehicle or on an off-road site with adequate level hard standing. (We need enough room for our operative to be able to walk round the vehicle and fully open all doors. There must also be enough room for our operative to park his own vehicle close to the inspection site.) If, due to circumstances outside of our reasonable control, the subject vehicle cannot be safely elevated at the time of inspection, the underside may not be inspected at all and the original fee shall remain fully payable. Furthermore, an additional $100 fee will be payable for any subsequent visits we are asked to undertake to complete this aspect of the inspection process.

7. Fees and Charges

All fees and charges must be paid by credit/debit card at the time of booking. In the event of cancellation by the customer, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee unless you have cancelled the inspection per the terms set out in paragraph 7.4 below, the amount of which will be notified at the time of booking the check.

7.1 We also reserve the right to charge an abortive fee of $50 if, due to circumstances outside of our reasonable control, we are unable to carry out the inspection on arrival at the location (including, but not limited to, where this results from the customer's failure to make the arrangements referred to in clause 6 above).

7.2 Our Fee policies are available at www.Auto-praise.com and are incorporated by reference. We may change fees for our services from time to time. Our changes to the policy are effective immediately without notice of the changes by posting the changes on our web site. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using our service. All fees and charges shall, if applicable and at our discretion, be payable by deduction from any advance fee paid by the customer or otherwise shall be payable by the customer immediately upon receipt of our request for the same.

7.3 If for any reason you do not wish to proceed with the inspection, you may cancel it at any time up until we physically arrive on site to perform the PPIS (providing there is no additional mileage involved in your assignment). However, once we are on site, you no longer have the right to cancel the inspection. If an additional mileage charge applies to your assignment, you may cancel it at any time up until 9 am EST on the morning of the day the inspection is due to be performed. If you wish to exercise your right to cancel, please notify us in the following way: Assignments MUST be cancelled by telephone during normal business hours (9 am-5 pm EST M-F). Cancellations left on Voice Mail or sent via e-mail will NOT be accepted. You will receive an e-mail confirming the assignment has been cancelled, and no charge will be applied to your card. If indeed your card has already been charged, you will receive a refund for the cost of the inspection within 30 days of our written notice of cancellation. If you have selected a Carfax History Check, we shall retain a sum equal to the cost of this service.

8. Customer Dissatisfaction

In the event of dissatisfaction, please contact our customer service department on USA 754-210-9807. We should be given the opportunity to re-inspect the vehicle and may need to do so to deal with the complaint.

9. Delay and Failure

We shall not be liable for any delay in performing or any failure to carry out an inspection to the extent that such delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

10. Limitation of Liability

We shall not have, in any event, any liability or responsibility for any loss of profits, economic loss, loss of business, and loss of goodwill (in all these cases whether direct or indirect) nor for any indirect, purely economic, or consequential losses incurred as a result of or in connection with any inspection (including any non-occurrence thereof), whether resulting from breach of contract, negligence, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise.
