Terms of use

What Parakh is

Parakh helps you check a used car before you buy it. It checks the registration details you enter, guides you through an inspection, reads the photos you take, estimates three years of running costs and gives you a verdict: buy, negotiate or walk away.

Parakh gives guidance to help you decide. It is not a guarantee about any car, and it is not a certified inspection, a valuation, or legal or financial advice.

What Parakh can't see

• Parakh works with the registration details you copy in from the government's mParivahan app or Parivahan website. If those details are wrong or out of date, the check will be too.
• Accident and insurance-claim history and past odometer readings are not in public records. Parakh tells you how to ask the seller for them.
• The photo check is done by AI. It can be wrong, and it can only judge what the photos show.
• Running costs come from published prices and common replacement intervals. Real costs vary by city, garage and how the car was driven.

If you are unsure about a car, have a qualified mechanic inspect it before you pay.

Your part

• Enter details accurately and answer the inspection checks honestly.
• Photograph only the car you are checking, with the seller's permission. Don't photograph people or personal documents.
• The decision to buy, the price and the transaction are between you and the seller.

Purchases

• Complete report: a one-time purchase for one car, identified by its registration number. It includes the AI photo check (up to 3 analyses within 7 days) and a PDF report.
• Parakh Pro: a monthly subscription that removes ads and includes one complete report each billing month, with further reports at the Pro price. It renews automatically until you cancel it in Google Play or the App Store.
• Prices are shown in the app before you pay. Google Play or the App Store handles payment. All purchases are final: see the refund policy.

Accounts

You don't need an account to check a car. To buy, you sign in with your mobile number, email address or Google account so your purchases follow you to a new phone. You can delete your account in the app at any time (Settings → Your account). The privacy policy explains what we keep.

Fair use

Don't misuse Parakh: no attempts to break, overload or copy the service, no automated access, and no reselling of reports. We may suspend access that breaks these terms.

Liability

As far as the law allows, Parakh is not responsible for losses that come from buying or not buying a car, or from information supplied by you, the seller or third parties. Our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights you have under Indian consumer law.

Changes and governing law

If we change these terms we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app. These terms are governed by the laws of India.
