6 Disclaimers

IMPORTANT NOTICE

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

We specifically disclaim:

  • Accuracy of information: We do not verify user-submitted reports. Information may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
  • Spam score reliability: Spam scores are calculated from user reports and may not reflect the true nature of a phone number.
  • Service availability: We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Service.
  • Third-party content: We are not responsible for content on external websites linked from our Service.
  • Search engines and AI tools: Search engines and AI services, such as Google or Bing and their AI-generated overviews and answers, decide independently what to show and how to describe our Service or any page on it. We have no control over this and are not responsible or liable for how they display, summarise or associate CallerCheck with any phone number, search or query.

You use the Service at your own risk. We recommend verifying important information through official sources before making decisions based on data from CallerCheck.

7 Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CallerCheck UK and its directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any:

  • Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities
  • Damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service
  • Damages arising from any User Content or third-party content
  • Damages arising from unauthorised access to or alteration of your data

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

8 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CallerCheck UK and its directors, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Service
  • Your User Content
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any rights of another person or entity

9 Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will cease immediately. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.

10 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

11 Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page with a new "Last updated" date.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you should stop using the Service.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically for any changes.

12 CallerCheck PRO Subscriptions

CallerCheck PRO is an optional subscription in the CallerCheck app. Checking numbers and reporting calls stay free for everyone, on this website and in the app.

  • What it includes. Extra features such as call blocking and alerts, as described in the app. We may add to or change these features over time.
  • Buying and paying. PRO is sold through the app store as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. The price, including VAT, is shown in the app before you subscribe, and payment is handled by the app store.
  • Free trial. New subscribers may be offered a free trial. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, the subscription starts and you're charged at the end of the trial.
  • Renewal. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. If the price changes, you will be told in advance.
  • Cancelling. Cancel at any time in your app store account settings. PRO stays on until the end of the period you've paid for, then stops renewing.
  • Refunds. Payments are handled by the app store, so refund requests go to the app store you subscribed through. This doesn't affect your statutory rights.
  • No guarantee. Blocking and warnings are based on community reports, so we can't promise that every unwanted call will be stopped, or that a blocked number will never be a genuine caller.

The app store's standard licence terms for apps also apply to the CallerCheck app, alongside these Terms.

13 How We Use AI

  • Screening reports: AI helps us check new reports for anything that may break these Terms. It does not publish reports: reports are reviewed by our team before they are published.
  • Summaries: Some number pages show a short summary written by AI from that number's approved reports. Summaries can contain mistakes and are not a statement of fact by CallerCheck, so always read the reports themselves.
  • Spam scores: Spam scores are based on community reports, not AI.
  • AI tools run by others: AI overviews, chatbots and answers from search engines and other companies are not part of the Service. We have no control over what they say about CallerCheck or any number, and we are not responsible or liable for it (see Disclaimers).
