I am of the opinion that asking for something, that is relativley inexpensive, from people that you do not know personally,
is LOW CLASS. beng

He has the right to look up all the vehicles he wants how he wants to use that for him or for someone else is totally up to him. CarFax knows this happens and believe me they are doing fine. It is 100% different than sneaking someone under an insurance policy.

I look at it like borrowing a tool from a friend. Instead of paying $30 to rent a "tool", I let him borrow mine. It's all good dude. Some people are different.

Personally I'd give you a -20 for promoting the idea that people should steal from carfax. If you appreciate the service they offer then support them by paying for it. This is no better than sneaking a friend into the hospital under your insurance. Yes it doesn't cost YOU anything, but it does cost someone else something.
People will find any excuse not to pay for it. If you can reach this website, you can reach carfax and pay for it. Period.

Sorry - you simply cannot justify this. It goes against the agreement you made with Carfax when signing up for their service.....or did you not understand what "personal use" means?

Here is the agreement directly from the Carfax website:

"Commercial Use" is defined as use by persons engaged in the business of researching, buying and/or selling of automobiles, the resale or redistribution of Reports, or any other business purpose as determined by CARFAX, Inc. Indicators of Commercial Use may include, an excessive number of reports run during a specific time period.
ANY COMMERCIAL USE OF CARFAX VEHICLE HISTORY REPORTS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND ANY SUSPECTED COMMERCIAL USE WILL LEAD TO THE SUSPENSION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PROOF THAT YOUR USE IS PURELY PERSONAL; FAILURE TO DO SO PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT WILL RESULT IN THE DEACTIVATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, WITHOUT REFUND AND MAY RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION. PROOF OF PERSONAL USE MAY INCLUDE; DETAILING HOW YOU ARE USING THE CARFAX ACCOUNT AND SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF THE SITES OR LOCATIONS WHERE YOU ARE FINDING THE VEHICLES THAT ARE BEING OFFERED FOR SALE. THE DETERMINATION OF PERSONAL USE IS AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF CARFAX, INC.

I agree that my CARFAX Report purchase also shall be governed by all the Terms and Conditions of use of the CARFAX Web Site. If you purchased the Unlimited Account and are not 100% satisfied you qualify for a refund if:

This website isn't intended for people to start stealing from Carfax or anyone else. When people do so, it tarnishes the reputation of us all as if we condone this type of behavior. Those who do condone this or don't speak out against it have proven they have no respect for the rights and property of others, and thus I'm going to make it clear that I, as well as many who have stated these same points previously, do NOT agree with posting information obtained illegally.

Costner- Get mad all you want. It isn't going to change the behavior.

Any thoughts on all of the pot heads and illiterates on the forums? I appreciate you sticking up for your beliefs. Stealing is wrong, so I will no longer ask for someone to type in a VIN for a free carfax (guilty of one count here).

The problem is, the "friend" in this case is Carfax. Did you ask Carfax if they minded that you loaned their tool to someone else?
Sorry - you simply cannot justify this. It goes against the agreement you made with Carfax when signing up for their service.....or did you not understand what "personal use" means?

"Personal Use" huh? Must have missed that when I didn't read the agreement.
In any case, to me, it's not that big of a deal. I see that some of you are a little upset about it. Some of the members here are a little uptight.I'm beginning to think that there are a few people that work for carfax.com that visit this site. That or your just EXTREME capitalists.
Most of you guys are cool though...
Bottom line is we will not see eye to eye on this and it makes no sense to argue about it online with someone I don't know. Thank you for your opinion though. I don't agree with it but I respect it.
