Terms of Service & Fair Use Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Definitions

"Data" refers to the vehicle tire fitment records (the link between vehicles and the tire sizes that fit them), and related vehicle specification data provided through Wheels Easy's CSV downloads, SQLite files, API, or embed widget.

"Customer" refers to any individual or entity that purchases a license to use the Data.

"Service" refers to the API access and/or embed widget provided by Wheels Easy.

2. License Grant

Upon purchase, Wheels Easy grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Data for the following purposes:

• Internal business operations (inventory management, product matching)
• Customer-facing applications on your own website or app (tire finders, fitment tools)
• Internal analytics and reporting

3. Restrictions

You may not:

• Redistribute, resell, or sublicense the raw Data to third parties
• Share, publish, or make available the Data files (CSV, SQLite) for public download
• Use the Data to build a competing dataset product or data resale service
• Systematically scrape, crawl, or extract data from our API or widget beyond normal usage
• Use the Data to train machine learning models, large language models, or any other AI/ML systems without an explicit written license from us
• Reverse engineer the API, widget, or underlying database structure, or attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, or watermarks
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices or attribution

4. Fair Use Policy

Our API and embed widget are designed for genuine business use. The following constitutes fair use:

API Access

• Up to 10,000 requests per month per API key
• Maximum 30 requests per minute sustained
• Requests must originate from your application serving real end users

Embed Widget

• Unlimited lookups for genuine customer interactions
• Widget must be deployed on the domain(s) registered with your account

What is NOT fair use

• Automated bulk extraction or systematic downloading of data through the API
• Using multiple API keys to circumvent rate limits
• Deploying the widget in a way that exposes the underlying data for scraping
• Running automated scripts against the API to reconstruct the full dataset

We monitor usage patterns. Accounts that violate fair use will receive a warning. Continued abuse results in suspension without refund.

5. Data Accuracy

We work to keep the data accurate and up to date (see our data collection methodology). However, fitment data should always be verified against the vehicle manufacturer's specifications before use in safety-critical applications. Wheels Easy is not liable for incorrect fitment recommendations resulting from data inaccuracies.

6. Pricing & Payments

• All prices are in EUR and exclude VAT where applicable
• One-time purchases (CSV/SQLite) provide a perpetual license for the version purchased
• Subscriptions (embed widget) are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time
• Refunds are available within 7 days of purchase if the data does not meet your needs

7. Intellectual Property

The Data, its structure, organization, and compilation are the intellectual property of Obsidian Peaks Technologies AB ("we") and are made available under the Wheels Easy brand. Your license grants usage rights, not ownership. The underlying data collection methodology, normalization processes, and quality assurance systems remain proprietary.

7.1 Sui Generis Database Right

Substantial investment has been made in obtaining, verifying, and presenting the contents of the Data. The Data is therefore protected as a database under Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the legal protection of databases (the "Database Directive") and applicable national implementing legislation. We are the maker of the database for the purposes of that Directive and hold the corresponding sui generis right.

You may not, without our explicit written permission:

• Extract — by permanent or temporary transfer — the whole or a substantial part of the contents of the Data to another medium
• Re-utilise the whole or a substantial part by making it available to the public
• Repeatedly and systematically extract or re-utilise insubstantial parts in a manner that conflicts with normal use of the database or unreasonably prejudices our legitimate interests

7.2 Sourcing & Methodology

The Data is compiled from our own measurement, normalisation, and verification processes, drawing on publicly available manufacturer documentation, regulatory filings, and other open references that we license, acquire, or observe at our cost and risk. The specific sources, tooling, scraping infrastructure, normalisation pipeline, and validation steps that we use are confidential commercial know-how and are not disclosed. For an overview of how we approach quality, see our data methodology page.

7.3 Anti-Circumvention & Traceable Markers

You may not bypass, disable, or circumvent any authentication, rate limit, key validation, traceable marker, or other technical or organisational protection measure applied to the Data. You may not assist third parties in doing so, nor publish methods that materially aid in doing so.

Each licensed copy of the Data — whether delivered as a download or served through the API — carries traceable markers tied to your licence. We use these markers to investigate and attribute leaks. Tampering with, attempting to identify, or attempting to remove traceable markers is itself a violation of these terms and of the Database Directive's anti-circumvention principles.

7.4 Attribution

Where you publicly display fitment results obtained through the Data — for example on a customer-facing tyre finder — a visible attribution to "Powered by wheels-easy.com" must remain present unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. The default embed widget includes this attribution; removing it from the widget code is prohibited under your licence.

8. Termination

We may terminate your license if you violate these terms. Upon termination:

• You must destroy all copies of the Data in your possession
• API keys will be revoked immediately
• Embed widgets will stop functioning

9. Limitation of Liability

Wheels Easy's total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Data in the 12 months preceding any claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be communicated via email to active customers. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
