If you have any questions that are not answered in this section, please see our "Frequently Asked Questions" at: http://www.StolenCar.com/Faq or, contact us at "Info" at StolenCar.com
The terms and conditions herein, may be amended at any time by posting the amended terms and conditions on the StolenCar web site. All amended terms and conditions are effective immediately upon posting to this site. It is recommended that visitors and members review the then current terms and conditions for using the StolenCar web site and program on a regular basis. This agreement was last revised on 21 January 2010.
1.1 StolenCar ., operates its web site more or less as a bulletin board and an information service. StolenCar operates like a bulletin board for vehicle owners to post information about their automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, etc., that have been stolen, and which have been previously reported as stolen to an appropriate law enforcement agency. Visitors to StolenCar can utilize the web site to search for reported stolen vehicles by ZIP Code lookup, or they can search for information by Vehicle Make and Model. Individuals may become eligible for rewards by registering as "Tippers" (individuals who provide information about vehicles that have been reported stolen.) Tippers may elect to receive information about registered stolen vehicles directly from StolenCar in various formats, delivered through various mediums.
1.2 StolenCar is a wholly owned subsidiary of Collaborative Information Services, Inc., a New York Company. Our business mailing address is: 405 Tarrytown Rd, Suite 1367, White Plains, NY 10607.
2.1 Eligibility to become a registered member of, and participant in the StolenCar program is available ONLY to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to minors. If you do not qualify, please do not use these services. Law enforcement officers, Insurance Industry employees, Stolen Vehicle Owners and their respective family members are not eligible for rewards, but are eligible to participate in the StolenCar program. Further, StolenCar services are not available to registered members that have had their membership temporarily, indefinitely, or permanently suspended. StolenCar may revoke the membership of anyone, at any time, for any reason whatsoever. StolenCar may terminate a person's access to this web site at any time, for any reason whatsoever.
2.2 At such time that any visitor to, or member of StolenCar engages in fraudulent activity with regard to the web site or program, said individual is considered to be in breach of this user agreement. Such person, automatically and immediately, is considered to have his or her relationship with StolenCar terminated, whether or not a termination notice is issued on the part of StolenCarReports.
3.1 Vehicle Listings Information. StolenCar maintains a database listing of stolen vehicles, and a database of registered members. StolenCar has no control over the quality, validity, accuracy, or legality of information submitted by a vehicle owner that registers information about a vehicle that has reportedly been stolen from their possession on the StolenCar web site. Further, StolenCar has no control over the quality, validity, accuracy, or legality of information provided by individuals - whether they be registered members of StolenCarReports, or anonymous visitors to the StolenCar web site - about vehicles that have been reported as stolen.
3.2 Web site Data / Information - Control and Risk. StolenCar does not control the quality, validity, accuracy, or legality of information provided by users of its web site and program. As such, StolenCar makes no claim that the information available to users and visitors from its web site will not be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. StolenCar urges all visitors and program participants to use caution and common sense when using its web site and while participating in its program. StolenCar further emphasizes to its users and visitors that there is a risk that they may encounter the spurious and specious machinations of people acting under false pretense.
3.3 Visitor/Member Identity Information. StolenCar cannot, and does not verify the actual identity of registered and unregistered users of the information and services it makes available on its web site. StolenCarReports does take reasonable measures to establish the valid identity of individuals that register as members ("Tippers"). In order to receive a reward for having provided information that leads to the recovery of a stolen vehicle, a StolenCar participant must divulge certain identity-revealing information that will afford StolenCar the opportunity to process a financial transaction with that individual. StolenCar takes stronger measures to establish the valid identity of individuals that register information about reported stolen vehicles. When registering information about a vehicle that has been stolen, it is necessary to provide certain specific personally identifying information including, but not limited to, credit card information and information from a filed police report.
3.4 Visitor/Member LISTINGS DATA. Registered members and visitors provide much of the information that is available on the StolenCar web site. This information is broadly referred to as "Listings Data". All members and visitors are bound by the following requirements with regard to providing and/or posting Listings Data:
3.4.1 Information provided to StolenCarReports, or posted on the StolenCar web site is the sole responsibility of the person that provides or posts such information. StolenCar may take measures to establish the reasonable validity of the Listings Data on its web site. However, StolenCar cannot assume responsibility for information contained in the Listings Data. StolenCar acts substantially as a passive conduit for online and offline distribution and publication of Listings Data.
3.4.2 With respect to Listings Data, visitors and members agree that any information they provide or post: (a) shall not be false, inaccurate or misleading; (c) shall not infringe any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy; (d) shall not violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including without limitation those governing false advertising); (e) shall not be defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; (f) shall not be obscene or contain child pornography (g) shall not contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancel bots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; (h) shall not create liability for StolenCar , any and all associated companies, and other interested parties, or cause said parties to lose (in whole or in part) the services of said parties ISPs or other suppliers; (i) shall not link directly or indirectly to our web site without permission; and (j) shall not copy or reproduce information contained on our web site without written permission.

You, as a visitor and/or member who provide or post information to our web site, grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub licensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright and publicity rights (but no other rights) you have in the information you provide or post to StolenCarReports, in any media now known or not currently known, with respect to Your Information. You authorize StolenCar to share your vehicle-listing information with relevant government agencies for non-commercial purposes. StolenCar will only use Your Information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

4.1 Participation Opportunity: Participation in the StolenCar program is available to members and non-members in varying degrees. Visitors to the StolenCar web site, whether registered members or not, may be able to provide valuable information that will help law enforcement officials identify, locate, and recover a vehicle that has been reported stolen. Registered members are afforded greater access to information and services available at the web site, are able to post information on the web site, and may become eligible for rewards. (See #6 REWARDS)
4.2 Participation Instruction: StolenCar emphatically instructs any and all visitors and members of the following: Any action undertaken to provide information about a reported stolen vehicle MUST BE LIMITED to calling 911 (or another law enforcement phone number.) This is the ONLY action that constitutes acceptable participation in the StolenCar program. Visitors and members are cautioned and advised that any further involvement in a criminal matter may invite risk of accident or injury upon their person.
4.3 Participation Disclaimer: Acceptable participation in the StolenCarReports program requires that participants take no action beyond calling 911 or other authorized phone number to provide information about a suspected stolen vehicle. Any actions taken by a visitor or member beyond this point terminate any relationship between the individual and StolenCarReports. Moreover, said individual relinquishes any and all rights to hold StolenCarReports, or any and all associated companies and other interested parties, responsible in any way, for any consequences that arise from taking improper actions. Participation is at an individual's own risk.
5.1 There is no charge to become a Registered Participant and there is no charge for registering a stolen vehicle with StolenCarReports. There is a non-refundable $17.95 fee to upgrade a stolen vehicle registration in order to have StolenCarReports issue Stolen Vehicle ALERTS. Vehicle owners may pre-register their vehicle in the program for $2.50 and avoid any upgrade fees in the event their vehicle is ever stolen.
6.1 StolenCar premise for offering rewards are as follows: StolenCarReports believes that it is the civic responsibility for individuals to report any knowledge that they may have regarding a stolen vehicle to the police. StolenCar also believes that offering incentives for responsible behavior will serve to increase this activity, and therefore provide a great benefit to many individuals, companies, and organizations. There is no legal obstacle to reporting and registering information with StolenCar that has already been reported to the proper law enforcement agencies.
6.2 Tippers that participate in the StolenCar program, in accordance with the published guidelines herein, may become eligible to receive rewards for having provided information that leads to the recovery of a vehicle that has been reported stolen.
6.3 Reward Release. While making every effort to insure that "Tippers" who provide information that lead to the recovery of a stolen vehicle receive a reward, StolenCar MAKES NO GUARANTEE that any "Tipper" will receive a reward. Therefore, Tippers shall hold StolenCarReports, or its parent company, Collaborative Information Services, Inc., harmless for any failure to receive a reward payment. Further, in the event that a "Tipper" does not receive a reward for information provided that lead to the recovery of a stolen vehicle, said "Tipper" releases StolenCarReports, including its officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees, from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of, or in any way connected with, such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code ยง1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
6.4 Participating Members authorize StolenCar to share submitted information on the location of vehicles to relevant law enforcement agencies.
