Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-06-03

1. What this site is

Car Scout News publishes editorial articles about the Australian used-car market — buyer guides, model reviews, recalls, market trends, and data-driven analysis from our sister research tool at car-scout.com.au.

Articles are AI-generated and grounded in real listing data, but they are general informational content, not personal financial, legal, mechanical, or insurance advice. Verify any decision-relevant detail independently.

2. Acceptable use

You may:

• Read articles for personal research
• Share article links on social media or in private conversation
• Quote short passages (under ~150 words) with clear attribution to Car Scout News + a backlink — standard journalistic fair use

3. Prohibited uses

You must not:

• Scrape articles or visit-log data, automated or manual, for republication or competitive use
• Republish entire articles on another site (even with attribution) without prior written permission
• Pass off our content as your own work
• Build an AI training dataset from our articles without prior written permission
• Probe for vulnerabilities outside a responsible disclosure framework — email dlkstudiotechnology@gmail.com if you find an issue

4. Intellectual property

Articles, the site design, the brand “Car Scout News”, the editorial prompts driving article generation, and the underlying market-data pipeline are owned by DLK Studio Technology Pty Ltd. Stock images are licensed from Unsplash under their public license. Quoted listing data remains the IP of the original sources (dealers, CarsGuide, Drive).

5. No warranties

Content is provided “as is”. We exclude all implied warranties to the maximum extent allowed by Australian law. Articles may contain errors, become outdated, or reflect AI biases. Do not rely on a Car Scout News article as the sole basis for any financial, legal, or vehicle-purchase decision. Nothing in these terms excludes consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded by contract.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DLK Studio Technology Pty Ltd is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of Car Scout News content. Our liability for direct loss is capped at $100 AUD.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Disputes will be resolved in the Queensland courts. Please try emailing us before initiating legal action.

8. Changes

We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will be flagged at the top of this page. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
