By accessing or using PlateQuery (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
PlateQuery lets users leave public notes tied to a license plate number, such as parking or driving reports, and lets vehicle owners create an account to receive and respond to notes left about their plate. The Service does not verify vehicle ownership and does not disclose any user's personal contact information to another user.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
You are solely responsible for any message, comment, or other content you submit (“User Content”). You agree not to post User Content that:
We may remove any User Content and suspend or terminate accounts, at our discretion, for violating these Terms.
You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting it, you grant PlateQuery a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display that content solely to operate and improve the Service.
We collect the information you provide directly — such as your email address, the plate numbers you follow or message, and the content of messages you post — along with standard technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) via analytics tools like Google Analytics.
We use this information to operate the Service, deliver email notifications you've requested, respond to support requests, and maintain platform security. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of PlateQuery, our users, or the public.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us as described in Section 12.
The Service and its original content (excluding User Content) are the property of PlateQuery and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, contact us with the information required under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and we will investigate.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that User Content is accurate, complete, or reliable, and we are not responsible for the accuracy of any report or message posted by users.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, PlateQuery and its owners/operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use of the Service or reliance on any User Content.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PlateQuery from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service or your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to other users or the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you have questions about these Terms or the Privacy Policy, or wish to exercise your data rights, please reach out via our Contact page.
