Terms and Conditions

By using this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the site or submit a form.

Educational service only

The site's calculators, articles, state guides, templates, and claim-review forms provide general educational information. They are not legal, insurance, tax, financial, repair, safety, or appraisal advice and do not create an attorney-client, appraiser-client, insurer, broker, or fiduciary relationship.

Estimates are not offers or guarantees

Calculator results use the information you enter and simplified methods, including the commonly used Formula 17c where stated. Results are not certified appraisals, settlement offers, coverage decisions, or predictions. Actual value and claim outcomes depend on the vehicle, market, repairs, evidence, policy, fault, state law, deadlines, and insurer decisions.

Your responsibilities

You agree to:

• provide information you reasonably believe is accurate and that you are authorized to provide;
• verify important facts, legal rules, policy terms, deadlines, and calculations independently;
• avoid submitting sensitive information that the form does not request; and
• not misuse, disrupt, scrape at unreasonable volume, reverse engineer, or attempt unauthorized access.

No claim representation

Submitting a form does not guarantee a response, engagement, appraisal, recovery, or communication with an insurer. Do not delay a filing, notice, repair, safety decision, or request for professional advice while waiting for the site or any follow-up.

Content, links, and availability

We may correct, update, suspend, or remove content and features without notice. Links to courts, regulators, insurers, service providers, and other websites are provided for convenience; we do not control or endorse all external content. Site content and branding are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may link to public pages and use short excerpts with attribution, but may not republish substantial portions without permission.

Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, the site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so these exclusions may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, CarValueAfterAccident and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or lost-profit damages arising from use of or reliance on the site. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes and severability

We may update these terms as the service changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent allowed by law.

Questions about a prior submission

If you received a follow-up message after submitting a form, reply to that message and identify the email address used for the request.
