8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The Administration does not guarantee the uninterrupted and error-free operation of the Service, nor the completeness and relevance of data in primary sources that are beyond its control.
The Administration makes reasonable efforts to ensure data quality but does not guarantee that a Report will contain absolutely all records about a vehicle.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the Administration is not liable for indirect damages, lost profits or the User's decisions made on the basis of a Report. The Administration's aggregate liability is limited to the cost of the service actually paid for by the User.

The User may stop using the Service at any time. To have the account and the data attached to it deleted, the User writes to support from the email address the account is registered to; the request is confirmed before anything is erased.
11. Changes to the Terms
The Administration has the right to unilaterally update these Terms by publishing a new version on this page indicating the date of the update. Continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means the User agrees to the updated version.

Disputes arising in connection with the use of the Service are resolved through negotiations, and if agreement is not reached — before the competent courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
