Description of Service

CARMA is a car price comparison tool that aggregates and analyzes vehicle listing data from third-party marketplaces including AutoScout24, Mobile.de, Marktplaats, and Otomoto. The Service provides deal scoring, fair market price estimates, vehicle comparisons, and price drop alerts to help users make informed car buying decisions.

The Service is provided for informational purposes only. CARMA does not sell vehicles, facilitate transactions, or act as a broker or dealer. Price analysis and deal scores are estimates based on available data and should not be considered as financial advice or appraisals.

  • Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

  • Any transactions or interactions between you and vehicle sellers or marketplaces

Vehicle listings, prices, and availability may change at any time without notice. Always verify listing details directly with the seller before making a purchase decision.

Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, software, text, graphics, logos, and analysis algorithms, is owned by CARMA and protected by intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes.

Price analysis is based on available listing data at the time of analysis and may not reflect the actual condition, history, or true market value of any specific vehicle.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CARMA shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

Modifications to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our website. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
