TERMS & CONDITIONS

Terms of use of the Logbook Registry

Placeholder · pending review by counsel

Who these terms are for: the member portal is a professional system. These terms govern its use by member organisations — insurers, lenders, motor dealers, customs brokers, garages and law-enforcement users — and their staff ("Members"). By signing in you agree to them on your own behalf and on behalf of the organisation whose access you use. The public vehicle report carries its own disclaimer on every page.

1. What Logbook is — and is not

Logbook is a shared registry of vehicle history events recorded by its members and by third-party data sources. Reports are informational: their contents are supplied by member organisations and third-party sources and may be incomplete. Logbook is not a guarantee of a vehicle's condition, title or history, does not make decisions, and does not replace a physical inspection by a qualified person.

2. Recording events

Members record only events their organisation type is permitted to record, truthfully and from their own business records. Entries are append-only: a mistake is corrected by recording a correction, which supersedes the original while leaving it on file. Uploading data on behalf of another organisation, or fabricating events, is grounds for immediate suspension.

3. Looking things up

Every lookup requires a stated purpose and is written to the audit trail before results are returned. Registry access is restricted to legitimate vehicle checks connected to a purchase, sale, policy, loan, import, inspection or investigation. Bulk extraction of registry data, resale of reports, or use of the registry to build a competing dataset is prohibited.

4. Disputes

A person or member who believes an entry is wrong may dispute it. Disputed entries remain visible, flagged as disputed, while the recording organisation reviews them; every report view carries a report number and verification hash so a disputed report can be reproduced exactly.

5. Accounts and security

Sign-in credentials are personal and must not be shared. Organisations are responsible for removing access when staff leave. We may suspend access to protect the registry, its members or the public.

6. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Logbook and DORDLE Ltd are not liable for decisions made in reliance on registry content. The registry is provided as-is for the duration of the proof of concept.
