The terms for using collisionstrategy.com. They are short, and they say plainly what the site and the free vehicle value check are, and what they aren't.

The short version
01 · About these terms
These terms apply to collisionstrategy.com, run by Collision Strategy, an collision repair shop at 325 SE Brizendine Rd, Blue Springs, MO 64014 that also helps customers with the insurance side of a collision. By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. How we handle your information is in our privacy policy.
02 · General information
The guides and answers on this site explain how collision and total-loss claims usually work. They are general information, not legal, insurance or financial advice, and they aren't a substitute for reading your own policy. Policy terms and state rules vary, and they change. Reading the site doesn't make you our customer.
03 · The value check
The vehicle value check on our total-loss guide estimates a pre-accident value from a depreciation model: the vehicle's age, trim, mileage, condition and region. It doesn't look at live listings or sales near you.
04 · Requests and estimates
Sending a request, an online estimate, a call or an email doesn't hire us and doesn't commit you to anything. We aim to reply within one business day. If we take on work for you, we agree on it with you before it starts. Only send us photos and documents you are allowed to share.
An online estimate is a starting point based on the photos and details you send. It isn't a final price or an offer to repair at that price. Damage behind panels often shows up only once the vehicle is taken apart, so the final cost is confirmed when we inspect the vehicle.
05 · Examples and figures
Sample estimates, sample valuation reviews and other examples on the site show the kinds of issues to look for. They aren't results for any particular vehicle or claim, and no outcome with a carrier is promised.
06 · Using the site
Please don't:
07 · Our content
The Collision Strategy name and logo, and the site's text, graphics and design, belong to Collision Strategy. You're welcome to link to the site and share our pages. Please don't copy them for commercial use without our written permission.
08 · Other websites
The site uses or links to services run by others, such as Google Maps, the NHTSA VIN service, Resend and FormSubmit. Their own terms and privacy policies apply, and we aren't responsible for their content or availability.
09 · Staff portal
Our private management portal, including its Facebook and Instagram posting tool (the Meta app "Collision Strategy Manage"), is for Collision Strategy staff only. It posts only our business's own content to our own Facebook Page and Instagram account. Its use is also subject to Meta's terms and policies. What it stores is described in our privacy policy, and how to remove its access is on our data deletion page.
10 · No warranty
We work to keep the site accurate and running, but we provide it "as is" and "as available". We don't promise that it is complete, current, free of errors or always available.
11 · Limit of liability
As far as the law allows, Collision Strategy isn't liable for any loss that comes from using the site or relying on its information, including the vehicle value check. Nothing in these terms limits rights that the law doesn't allow to be limited.
12 · Missouri law
Missouri law governs these terms. Any dispute about the site belongs in the state or federal courts serving Jackson County, Missouri.
13 · Changes
We may update these terms. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when they last changed. Using the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
