Terms of Use
Last updated July 23, 2026
These terms apply to SaneLot's dealer app, dashboard, hosted dealer sites, and related services. The iOS app is also subject to Apple's standard end-user license agreement.
Dealer responsibility
Dealers are responsible for the accuracy and legality of vehicle, pricing, financing, trade-in, contact, and dealership information they provide. SaneLot's fact checks do not replace inspection, title research, legal obligations, or the dealer's final review.
Permitted use
Use SaneLot only for lawful dealership operations and inventory you are authorized to list. Do not misrepresent stock imagery as the listed vehicle, access another dealer's data, misuse buyer contact information, scrape prohibited marketplaces, or interfere with the service.
Third-party services
SaneLot may connect to Apple, Cloudflare, NHTSA, records providers, and dealer-selected feed recipients. Their terms are separate. SaneLot does not include CARFAX, accounting software, lender submission, or direct DMS synchronization unless the current product explicitly says otherwise.
Vehicle title and history data shown by SaneLot is provided by ClearVin, an approved NMVTIS data provider, under the ClearVin Terms and Conditions. Use of that data is subject to the NMVTIS disclaimer below.
Subscriptions
Paid subscriptions and title-check credit packs are billed through SaneLot's web checkout (powered by Stripe). The iOS app itself is free. Renewal, cancellation, refund, and trial terms are shown at checkout.
Availability
SaneLot is provided on an as-available basis. Third-party data and delivery services may be delayed or unavailable. SaneLot is not legal, accounting, lending, title, safety, or mechanical advice.
NMVTIS Consumer Access Product Disclaimer
The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an electronic system that contains information on certain automobiles titled in the United States. NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and brand history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle’s repair history. All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, NMVTIS does not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because some states are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some states report and update NMVTIS data in “real-time” (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days. Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company (or other appropriate entity) to be a “total loss” or branded by a state titling agency. Conversely, an insurance carrier may be required to report a “total loss” even if the vehicle’s titling-state has not determined the vehicle to be “salvage” or “junk.” A vehicle history report is NOT a substitute for an independent vehicle inspection. Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, consumers are strongly encouraged to also obtain an independent vehicle inspection to ensure the vehicle does not have hidden damage.
The Approved NMVTIS Data Providers (look for the NMVTIS logo) can include vehicle condition data from sources other than NMVTIS. NMVTIS data INCLUDES (as available by those entities required to report to the System):
- Information from participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.
- Information on automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, motor homes, and tractors. NMVTIS may not currently include commercial vehicles if those vehicles are not included in a state’s primary database for title records (in some states, those vehicles are managed by a separate state agency), although these records may be added at a later time.
- Information on “brands” applied to vehicles provided by participating state motor vehicle titling agencies. Brand types and definitions vary by state but may provide useful information about the condition or prior use of the vehicle.
- Most recent odometer reading in the state’s title record.
- Information from insurance companies, and auto recyclers, including junk and salvage yards, that is required by law to be reported to the system, beginning March 31, 2009. This information will include if the vehicle was determined to be a “total loss” by an insurance carrier.
- Information from junk and salvage yards receiving a “cash for clunker” vehicle traded-in under the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS) Program.
Consumers are advised to visit www.vehiclehistory.gov for details on how to interpret the information in the system and understand the meaning of various labels applied to vehicles by the participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.
