1) About Our Services

Detail Vault publishes guides, tutorials and reviews related to car care, cleaning, maintenance and motoring topics. We do not currently sell car parts on the Site. Where relevant, we link to third-party retailers and partners (for example, Amazon, GSF Car Parts, and MyMotorWorld) where you can purchase products.

2) Eligibility & Your Responsibilities

  • You must be at least 18 years old to use the Site.
  • You are responsible for ensuring any products, services or information available through the Site meet your specific requirements before use or purchase.
  • If you choose to follow any guide or tutorial, you do so at your own risk. Always follow manufacturer instructions and safety guidance.

3) Information-Only & No Professional Advice

The content on the Site is provided for general information and educational purposes only. It does not constitute professional advice (including but not limited to mechanical, engineering, insurance or legal advice). Always consult a qualified professional where appropriate. Nothing on the Site guarantees an MOT pass or specific outcome.

4) Affiliate Disclosure

Detail Vault may participate in affiliate programmes, including (without limitation):

  • Amazon EU Associates Programme: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
  • Awin and other affiliate networks/partner programmes.

This means we may earn a commission if you click a link on the Site and make a purchase from a third-party retailer. This does not affect the price you pay and we aim to be impartial in our editorial content.

5) Third-Party Links, Retailers & Pricing

  • Links to third-party websites are provided for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, terms, policies or availability.
  • Product details (including pricing, availability, delivery options such as Prime, and specifications) can change without notice. Always check the retailer’s page for the most current information before purchasing.
  • Any purchase you make is a contract between you and the retailer; we are not a party to that contract and have no responsibility for order fulfilment, returns, warranties or customer service for third-party products.

7) User Content (Comments & Reviews)

  • If the Site allows comments or user-generated content, you are responsible for the content you post. Do not post anything unlawful, defamatory, misleading, infringing, or harmful.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
