⚖️ Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using MyCarFault (mycarfault.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use this website.

These terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who submits content to the site.

2. Nature of Content

MyCarFault provides a community-sourced database of vehicle fault reports, diagnostic codes, repair case studies, and general automotive information. The content on this site:

• Is intended for general educational and informational purposes only
• Is based on community experience and may not apply to your specific vehicle
• Does not take into account your vehicle's individual condition, age, maintenance history, or regional variants
• May be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate
• Does not constitute professional mechanical, engineering, or safety advice
• Does not replace a qualified mechanic, an authorised service centre, or a professional vehicle inspection

3. Safety Warnings

The above list is not exhaustive. All vehicle repair work carries inherent risks. When in doubt, consult a professional.

4. User Submissions

When you submit a fault report, fix confirmation, or other content to MyCarFault, you:

• Grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to display, store, and share your submission on the platform
• Confirm the information is based on your genuine experience or knowledge
• Confirm you are not submitting copyrighted content owned by a third party without permission
• Understand that submissions are reviewed by administrators before publication
• Understand that we may edit, summarise, or decline to publish any submission

We do not pay contributors. Submissions are voluntary and form part of the community knowledge base.

5. Community Content Disclaimer

Content on MyCarFault is contributed by community members and compiled from publicly available sources. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but we cannot verify every submission.

• Fix percentages and "confirmed fix" labels reflect community voting, not professional verification
• "Solved" status means community members have reported success, not that the repair is guaranteed for all vehicles
• Cost estimates are community averages and vary significantly by region, labour rates, and parts supplier
• Classic car information relates to vehicles that may have been modified from original specification
• OBD fault codes may indicate multiple possible causes; a code alone is not a definitive diagnosis

• Warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
• Warranties that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
