Terms of Sale and Use

These terms are an agreement between you and XTO Pty Ltd (ACN 702 801 410), trading as CarsData ("we", "us"), of L1 457 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia. By buying from us or using this website you agree to them. If you are buying for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to agree on its behalf.

1. The product

CarsData is a dataset of vehicle makes, models, years and variants sold in Australia from 1990 to 2026, with identification codes, specifications and indicative values. It is supplied as downloadable files in CSV, Excel (.xlsx), SQL Server script and JSON formats. The current contents, fields and formats are described on the data dictionary and pricing pages, and free samples are available so you can check the data before you buy.

2. Price and GST

The price is shown on the pricing page and at checkout. Prices are in Australian dollars. If we are registered for GST, the price includes GST and your receipt shows it. You are responsible for any bank, currency conversion or other fees your card provider charges.

We may change our prices at any time. A price change does not affect an order you have already paid for.

3. Payment

Payment is made by card or another method offered through Stripe Checkout. Stripe processes your payment - we never see or store your full card details. Your order is complete when Stripe confirms the payment. We may cancel and refund an order if we reasonably suspect fraud, or if the payment is reversed.

4. Delivery

Delivery is digital and instant. Once your payment is confirmed, the files are available to download from your account, and we email you a receipt. Nothing is posted. If you cannot download your files, email [email protected] and we will help.

5. Your account

• Give us accurate details, including the correct organisation name for the licence.
• Keep your password secure and don't share your login outside your organisation. You are responsible for activity on your account.
• An account and licence belong to one organisation. Staff within that organisation may use the dataset; other organisations need their own licence.
• Tell us promptly if you think someone has accessed your account without permission.

6. The data licence

Your use of the dataset is governed by the Data Licence, which forms part of these terms. In summary, you may use the data within your organisation and in the products you build, and show individual records to your users, but you may not resell, publish or share the dataset as data. If the Data Licence and these terms conflict about how you may use the dataset, the Data Licence applies.

7. Updates

Your purchase includes new releases of the dataset, which we aim to publish every 6 months, for as long as CarsData operates. Releases are made available in your account and, if you have release emails turned on, we let you know by email. We do not guarantee that any future release will contain particular vehicles, years, fields or values, or that it will be published on a particular date. We may add, rename or remove fields between releases and will describe changes in the release notes. If CarsData stops operating, you keep the right to use every release you have received.

8. Refunds

Change of mind. We don't offer refunds for change of mind. The dataset is delivered instantly and cannot be returned, and free samples and the full data dictionary are available before purchase so you can see exactly what you are getting.

Faulty or not as described. If the files are faulty (for example corrupted or won't open) or the dataset is materially not as described, email [email protected]. We will fix the problem or, if we can't fix it within a reasonable time, refund you.

Australian Consumer Law. Our products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

If an order is refunded or reversed, the licence for that order ends and you must delete the dataset, as set out in the Data Licence.

9. Accuracy of the data

The dataset is compiled from published sources and checked, but it is large and errors and omissions can occur. To the extent permitted by law:

• the dataset is provided "as is", without any warranty that it is complete, accurate, current or fit for a particular purpose;
• it is general reference information and is not professional, financial, insurance, legal or mechanical advice;
• market, retail and trade values are indicative figures as at the release date. They are not a valuation of any particular vehicle, whose value depends on its condition, kilometres, options, location and the market at the time.

Check anything critical - such as a price you quote, a policy you write or a part you order - against the vehicle itself or another source.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law:

• our total liability to you for any claim connected with the dataset, the website or these terms is limited to the amount you paid us for the order the claim relates to;
• we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, business or goodwill;
• where the Australian Consumer Law applies and the product is not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, our liability for failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited to supplying the product again or paying the cost of having it supplied again.

Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including under the Australian Consumer Law.

11. Using this website

When using this website, you must not:

• try to access accounts, files or systems you are not authorised to access;
• scrape, crawl or bulk-download content or sample data in a way that places an unreasonable load on the site or attempts to rebuild the dataset;
• share download links or account access outside your organisation;
• interfere with the security or operation of the site, or use it for anything unlawful.

We may suspend access to the website or an account that is being used in breach of these terms. We aim to keep the site available but don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted.

12. Intellectual property

We and our suppliers own the intellectual property in the dataset, the website, its text, design and code, and the CarsData name. Except as allowed by the Data Licence or by law, you may not copy or reuse them. You own the products, reports and code you build using the dataset.

13. Termination

If you seriously breach the Data Licence or these terms - for example by reselling or publishing the dataset - we may end your licence and close your account by written notice. If the breach can be fixed, we will first give you a reasonable chance to fix it. When your licence ends you must stop using the dataset and delete all copies. No refund is payable on termination for breach, except where the law requires it. Sections that by their nature should continue (including accuracy, liability, intellectual property and governing law) survive termination.

14. Privacy

We handle personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page when you place an order applies to that order. Changes will not reduce your rights to releases you have already received. If we make a significant change, we will let account holders know by email.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts that can hear appeals from them.
