Rapid Car Check Plugin and API – Business Terms of Service

1. Definitions

In these Terms:

  • RCC means Viva Vehicle Ventures Ltd, registered in England and Wales (Company No. 16774319), trading as Rapid Car Check, whose registered office is 4 Capricorn Centre, Cranes Farm Road, Basildon, Essex, SS14 3JJ.
  • The Plugin means the Rapid Car Check WordPress Plugin, provided via download or installation from the WordPress repository or directly from our website.
  • The API means the Rapid Car Check Application Programming Interface, including any associated API keys, documentation, and management dashboard.
  • The Client means the business or organisation entering into a subscription or integration agreement with RCC.
  • Subscription refers to the paid monthly or annual plan agreed at the time of purchase, processed via Stripe or any other authorised provider.
    These Terms apply to all B2B users of the Plugin, API, or related RCC services.

2. Scope of Service

RCC provides access to vehicle data and related information through its API and Plugin for business use only. All data is supplied on an “as is” basis from third-party sources. RCC does not warrant, represent, or guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or fitness of any data for a particular purpose. RCC provides only:

  • A functional plugin.
  • A working data feed via API.
  • Documentation and account management tools.
    Integration, website configuration, theme or plugin compatibility, and hosting environment setup are the sole responsibility of the Client. Any support or intervention beyond the supply of a working Plugin and API feed will be chargeable at RCC’s current hourly support rate.

3. Business-to-Business Nature

All Plugin and API services are supplied exclusively to registered businesses, developers, or organisations. These Terms are governed by the Business-to-Business framework under English law. Accordingly:

  • Consumer protection legislation, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, does not apply.
  • The Client acknowledges they are entering into this agreement for commercial use only.

4. Subscriptions, Payments and Renewals

  • All subscriptions are billed in advance and renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled by the Client via their account before renewal.
  • Prices exclude VAT unless otherwise stated.
  • Payment is taken through Stripe or another approved payment processor.
  • Failure to make payment on time may result in suspension of API access or Plugin functionality.
  • RCC reserves the right to adjust subscription fees with 30 days’ notice.

5. No Refunds

Due to the nature of our service and third-party data costs, no refunds or credits will be issued for any subscription once access has been granted or data has been used. RCC pays for access to external data in advance and cannot offer refunds for any unused or partial credits, early cancellation, or perceived inaccuracy in data.

6. Data Provision and Liability

RCC obtains vehicle data from official and commercial sources, including but not limited to the DVLA, DVSA, PNC, MIAFTR, Experian PLC, and Total Car Check (TCC). Data may be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable due to upstream supplier or network issues. RCC provides no warranties, express or implied, regarding data quality, reliability, or accuracy. The Client agrees that all risk associated with using or relying on data provided through the Plugin or API rests entirely with the Client. RCC shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from use of the Plugin, API, or any supplied data. RCC’s total aggregate liability, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall not exceed the total value of the Client’s subscription fees for the previous month.

7. Plugin and Website Compatibility

The Rapid Car Check Plugin is tested against current versions of WordPress and PHP at the time of release. RCC makes no guarantee that the Plugin will operate correctly with all WordPress themes, plugins, or hosting environments. Any conflicts or integration issues arising from the Client’s specific setup are outside the scope of included support. Troubleshooting or custom development required to resolve such conflicts will be chargeable at RCC’s standard hourly rate. The Client acknowledges that installing, activating, or updating the Plugin is done at their own risk and should be tested in a staging environment prior to deployment on a live website.

8. Support and Maintenance

RCC provides documentation and limited support for installation and configuration queries. Ongoing maintenance, custom integration, or data-feed implementation beyond the standard product scope will incur additional charges. Support is available via our online Support Centre at https://www.rapidcarcheck.co.uk/support/.

9. Account and API Key Management

  • Each Client is provided with API credentials or Plugin licence keys tied to their verified domain(s).
  • The Client is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of these credentials.
  • RCC may suspend or revoke access if misuse, excessive requests, or sharing of keys is detected.
  • API or Plugin access may also be limited or terminated for non-payment, misuse, or breach of these Terms.

10. Intellectual Property

All software, source code, data formatting, designs, trademarks, and related documentation are owned exclusively by Viva Vehicle Ventures Ltd. The Client is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Plugin or API for business use during their active subscription period. Reverse engineering, copying, reselling, or redistribution of the Plugin or data feed is strictly prohibited.

11. Termination

RCC may suspend or terminate access immediately if:

  • The Client breaches these Terms.
  • Unauthorised or illegal use is detected.
  • Payment is overdue.
  • There is evidence of misuse, scraping, or resale of data.
    Termination will not relieve the Client of any outstanding payment obligations.

12. Force Majeure

RCC will not be liable for delays or failures in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including server failures, network outages, supplier interruptions, or government actions.

13. Indemnity

The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless RCC, its directors, and employees from any claims, damages, or legal actions arising out of the Client’s use of the Plugin, API, or supplied data.

14. Limitation of Warranties

RCC provides the Plugin and API “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind. No guarantee is given that the Plugin or API will meet the Client’s specific requirements or operate without interruption. All implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for purpose, are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by English law.

15. Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The Client irrevocably agrees that any dispute or claim shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
