Terms of Service

Effective October 30, 2026

These Terms of Service govern use of TunerLink.net, operated by its site owners and administrators ("TunerLink," "we," or "us"). Please read them with the Community Rules and Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, do not create an account or use features that require agreement.

1. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 and legally able to enter this agreement. If you are below the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian's permission and involvement as required by applicable law. Provide accurate account and age information; a display name or handle may be used publicly. Keep account access secure and notify us if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for your own use of the service, subject to applicable law.

2. Your content and disclosures

You are responsible for the content you submit and for having the rights, permissions, and lawful basis needed to share it. Do not disclose another person's private information without authorization. Choose your own public disclosures carefully: other people may copy, save, or redistribute what they can see. Public content may be indexed by search engines. TunerLink does not endorse user content or guarantee its accuracy, ownership, legality, or safety. Our handling of personal information remains subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law; these warnings do not waive your legal rights.

3. Permission to operate the service

You keep ownership of your content. You give TunerLink a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, format, resize, display, and distribute it only as reasonably needed to operate, maintain, protect, and provide the service, subject to the relevant visibility settings. We may allow necessary service providers to perform those tasks for us. This permission does not authorize selling your personal information or using private content in unrelated advertising.

The license lasts while content is hosted, with limited continuation for reasonable backup, legal, and security purposes. Copies already shared with other people may remain under their control. TunerLink's own branding, software, and original materials remain subject to their owners' rights.

4. Acceptable use and moderation

Follow the Community Rules and applicable law. Do not use the service for abuse, unlawful content, intellectual-property infringement, scams, unauthorized data collection, account compromise, or interference with the site. We may remove content, restrict access, or suspend or terminate accounts when reasonably needed to enforce rules, protect users or the service, or comply with law. You may contact us to request review. We do not promise to pre-screen all content or continuously monitor every interaction.

5. Cars, advice, listings, and offline activity

Build information and comments are general community content, not professional mechanical, safety, legal, financial, or purchasing advice. Check information independently and use qualified professionals for safety-critical work. Vehicle modifications and driving can create significant risks; follow applicable laws and venue rules.

Users independently run crews, shops, listings, sales, and meetups. TunerLink is not a party to user-to-user transactions, an event organizer merely because an event is discussed here, an escrow or payment processor, a vehicle inspector, or a guarantor of another person. Assess the risks yourself and verify any deal. Rep, roles, crew labels, and other badges do not verify identity or certify trustworthiness.

6. Service availability and outside links

We may change, interrupt, or discontinue features, subject to applicable law. Keep your own copies of important content. Links to outside services are provided by the site or its users; those services are controlled by their own operators and may have different terms and privacy practices.

7. Warranty disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service and user content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of uninterrupted availability, accuracy, security, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement. No disclaimer applies where it is prohibited by applicable law.

8. Limits on liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TunerLink and its owners, administrators, and service personnel are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive losses arising from use of the service, including lost profits, lost opportunities, loss of data, or losses arising from other users' conduct. For claims that may lawfully be capped, their combined total liability arising out of or relating to the service is limited to US $100.

These exclusions and limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any other liability or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Applicable law may give you additional rights, and these terms do not take those rights away.

9. Claims arising from your misuse

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to reimburse TunerLink and its operators for reasonable third-party claims, losses, and legal costs caused by your unlawful content, infringement of another person's rights, or material violation of these terms. This obligation applies only to the extent the claim is attributable to your conduct and does not shift responsibility for an operator's own unlawful conduct to you. We will give reasonable notice of a covered claim and an opportunity to participate in its defense where appropriate.

10. Reports, removal, and intellectual property

Use the public reporting and removal process for privacy violations, nonconsensual intimate imagery, copyright concerns, or other rule violations. No account is required to report. We may preserve information when legally required, and we may request information needed to evaluate a report. Knowingly false or abusive reports violate these terms. Repeat intellectual-property infringers may lose access in appropriate circumstances.

11. Ending use and changes to terms

You may stop using the service and request account deletion through the contact below. Necessary legal, security, and recordkeeping obligations may survive account closure, as explained in the Privacy Policy. We may update these terms by changing the effective date and providing further notice or requesting agreement when required. Material changes do not retroactively remove rights that applicable law protects.

12. Legal rights and contact

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent permitted by law. A failure to enforce a provision once does not automatically waive it. Nothing here overrides mandatory law, applicable consumer protections, or a right to bring a claim that cannot legally be waived. No arbitration requirement or exclusive court location is imposed by these terms.
