What LotClock is

LotClock reads the inventory pages that dealerships in southeastern Michigan publish, every night, and measures what comparable vehicles are asking and how long they stay listed. Its figures are asking prices from public listings, not sale prices, and not a valuation or appraisal. A vehicle's condition, history, title and equipment can make it worth more or less than its comparables, and LotClock cannot see those. Use its answers as one input to your own judgment.

Access codes

• LotClock issues access codes only to businesses it has approved. A code is for your business's own use; don't share it outside your business or publish it.
• A code with your website on it opens your own lot free. Pricing other vehicles and days on lot use credits.
• We may revoke a code that is shared, misused or tied to an unpaid account.

Credits

• Credits are prepaid and bought from LotClock directly, on the terms quoted to you when you buy them.
• A price answer costs 1 credit and days on lot costs 3. An answer LotClock refuses or cannot give, anything about your own lot, and the same answer again within 24 hours are free. Every answer says what it cost.
• Credits from a pack expire twelve months after they are added. Credits from a monthly plan expire one month after they are added. The credits that expire first are used first.
• Each business has a daily limit of charged answers, 250 unless we agree another.
• Credits have no cash value and are not refundable except where the law requires it or we agree otherwise in writing.

What you may not do

• Copy, download or collect LotClock's data in bulk, or use it to build or feed another database or service.
• Resell, republish or redistribute LotClock's answers, other than sharing an answer inside your own business.
• Get around a limit, a refusal or the credits, or use automated scripts beyond ordinary use of the app, the API or an AI assistant.
• Use LotClock for anything unlawful, including any decision about a person's credit.

Availability and changes

We work to keep LotClock running and accurate, but it is provided as it is, without a promise that it will always be available, complete or free of error. We may change what LotClock offers and these terms; the new terms are posted here with their date, and continuing to use LotClock after that means you accept them. Credits you already bought keep the cost and expiry they were sold with.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, LotClock is not liable for decisions made using its answers, or for indirect or consequential losses, and its total liability to you is limited to what you paid LotClock in the twelve months before the claim.

Ending

You can stop using LotClock at any time. We may suspend or end access for a breach of these terms.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan.
