1. Who these terms are between
These terms are between AutoUncle ApS ("AutoUncle", "we") and the organization that creates a workspace ("you"). The person who creates the workspace confirms that they may accept these terms on the organization's behalf. You are responsible for everyone who uses your workspace, its API keys and its MCP connections.
2. Workspace approval
AutoUncle reviews every new workspace before it can use the API. We may ask who you are and what you are building, and we may decline a workspace without giving a reason. One organization should use one workspace unless we agree otherwise. Do not create extra workspaces or accounts to get more credits, higher limits or wider access.
3. What you may do with the data
The valuations, vehicle data and vehicle catalogue we return are licensed to you, not sold. You may use them inside your own products and services to serve your own users, for as long as you have an active workspace. Within that use you may:
- store and show the results you requested;
- cache catalogue lists (brands, models, generations, drivetrains and equipment variants) to build pickers and to send catalogue IDs back to the API, and refresh that cache as described in the documentation.
Keep any attribution we return with the data it covers. When your workspace ends, stop using cached catalogue data and delete it within 30 days, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
4. What you may not do
The AutoUncle vehicle catalogue and our valuation models are the result of substantial investment and are protected, among other things, as a database under EU law. You may not:
- systematically download, crawl or enumerate the catalogue, or any substantial part of it, beyond what your integration needs;
- sell, license, publish or otherwise make catalogue data, valuations or vehicle data available to third parties as a dataset, feed or API of its own;
- use the services or their output to build, train, check or improve a competing vehicle catalogue, vehicle-identification service or valuation model;
- probe the services to reconstruct how they map vehicle descriptions to catalogue records or to prices;
- get around rate limits, fair-use limits, approval, credits or other technical limits, for example by spreading requests across several workspaces, accounts or keys;
- share your API keys outside your organization, or let another organization use the services through your workspace without our written consent.
5. Test keys
Test keys are for building and testing an integration. Test valuations are simulated and free, and some test endpoints, such as normalization, use the real vehicle catalogue. Test keys must not be used to check, identify or value real vehicles for your business or your users: production traffic belongs on a live key.
Test-key requests that identify a vehicle (valuations, normalization and VIN, HSN/TSN and plate lookups) share a fair-use allowance per workspace of 10 requests per minute, 100 requests per hour, and 300 requests per day. We may change the allowance, and we may raise it for a workspace on request.
6. Rate limits and fair use
Each workspace has rate limits, published in the documentation and returned with every response. Catalogue calls are free and are meant for building and keeping a working integration, not for copying the catalogue. We may set or change limits for a workspace at any time, for example when its usage pattern looks like bulk extraction.
7. We monitor usage
We record and analyse how each workspace, API key and MCP connection uses the services: which endpoints and catalogue records are requested, how often, from where, and with which keys. We do this to bill, to keep the services reliable, and to detect misuse such as test keys used for live checks or bulk extraction of the catalogue. We may include unique markers in the data we return so that we can recognize it elsewhere.
8. Suspension and termination
We may limit, suspend or close a workspace, or revoke its keys, if it breaks these terms, if its usage puts the services or other customers at risk, or if we are required to by law. Where reasonable we will tell you first. You may stop using the services at any time.
9. Beta service
Data Services is in beta. It is provided as is, and may change or be interrupted. Valuations are estimates, not offers or guarantees of a price. Unless a written agreement says otherwise, AutoUncle's liability is limited to the amount you paid for the services in the twelve months before the claim, and neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, except where the law does not allow such limits.
10. Personal data
Do not send personal data that a request does not need. How we process personal data is described in the AutoUncle privacy policy and, where agreed, in our data-processing terms.
11. Changes and law
We may update these terms. We will announce material changes in the console or by email before they apply, and continued use after that means you accept them. These terms are governed by Danish law, and disputes belong to the Danish courts.
