Refund Policy

Effective date: July 10, 2026

We want you to trust the reports you pay for. Here's exactly when a refund applies, and how to request one.

When a refund applies

SituationRefund eligible?
VIN returns no data after purchaseYes, full refund
Duplicate charge for the same reportYes, full refund of duplicate
Technical error prevented report deliveryYes, full refund
Charged but never received a reportYes, full refund
Report delivered and contains accurate available dataNo — see note below
Changed your mind after viewing the reportNo
Report doesn't include an incident not reported to any data sourceNo

A report that's delivered and reflects the data available from NMVTIS, NHTSA, and our partner providers is considered fulfilled, even if it doesn't show an incident that was never reported to those sources. We can't refund a report for "missing" information no database has on file — see our Terms of Service for the data accuracy disclaimer.

How to request a refund

Processing time

Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method via Stripe and typically appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.

Disputes

If you believe a refund was wrongly denied, reply to our response with any additional details — we review every case individually rather than applying this policy mechanically.
