Terms of Service

1. Description of Services

RennPulse provides Porsche-focused market intelligence, including:

• RennPulse Newsletter: A weekly data-driven newsletter with auction analysis, model deep dives, and market trends.
• RennPulse AI Chrome Extension: A browser extension that displays comparable sales data, fair value estimates, and price trends as an informational overlay on publicly accessible auction listing pages.

2. Third-Party Data Sources and Fair Use

2.1 Publicly Available Data

RennPulse provides market commentary, analysis, and informational tools based on publicly available auction result data. Our Services reference publicly accessible information from third-party automotive auction and listing platforms, including but not limited to Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, PCarMarket, CarGurus, and AutoTrader (collectively, “Third-Party Platforms”).

2.2 Informational and Entertainment Purposes Only

All data, analysis, commentary, valuations, and market intelligence provided through our Services is for informational and entertainment purposes only. RennPulse is an independent publisher of market commentary and analysis. Our use of publicly available auction data is for the purpose of providing educational market context, trend analysis, and informational commentary to automotive enthusiasts and prospective buyers.

2.3 No Affiliation, Endorsement, or Compensation

RennPulse is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with any Third-Party Platform, including but not limited to Bring a Trailer (BaT), Cars & Bids, PCarMarket, Hagerty, Classic.com, CarGurus, AutoTrader, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Porsche Cars North America, Inc., or the Porsche Club of America. All third-party trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos referenced in our Services belong to their respective owners and are used solely for identification and informational purposes.

RennPulse does not receive any compensation, fees, referral payments, commissions, or other consideration from any Third-Party Platform. We operate as a fully independent market intelligence service.

2.4 Promotion of Third-Party Platforms

RennPulse believes that Third-Party Platforms provide valuable services to the automotive community. Our Services are designed to complement — not compete with or substitute for — the use of Third-Party Platforms. We actively encourage users to visit Third-Party Platform websites directly to view full auction listings, participate in auctions, and conduct their own due diligence.

2.5 No Recommendation or Endorsement of Specific Vehicles or Transactions

RennPulse does not recommend, endorse, or promote the purchase or sale of any specific vehicle, nor do we recommend any particular auction listing or platform over another. References to specific auction results are for illustrative and analytical purposes only.

3. Not Financial, Investment, or Professional Advice

RennPulse provides market data, statistical analysis, and editorial commentary for informational purposes only. Our content, valuations, price estimates, and market analysis do not constitute and shall not be construed as:

• Financial or investment advice
• Professional appraisal or vehicle valuation services
• Purchasing, selling, or bidding recommendations
• Legal, tax, or insurance advice

You should always conduct your own independent due diligence before making any purchasing, selling, or bidding decisions. Consult with qualified professionals (mechanics, appraisers, financial advisors, attorneys) as appropriate. RennPulse is not responsible for any financial losses, missed opportunities, or adverse outcomes resulting from decisions made using our data or analysis.

4. Data Accuracy and Limitations

4.1 No Guarantee of Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy in our market data, valuations, and analysis, we do not guarantee the completeness, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of any information provided through our Services. Our valuation models are statistical in nature and may not reflect every factor affecting a specific vehicle's value.

4.2 Third-Party Data

Auction results and listing data referenced in our Services are sourced from publicly available information on Third-Party Platforms. This data may contain errors, omissions, or become outdated. We do not verify the accuracy of third-party data and are not responsible for any inaccuracies in source data.

4.3 Valuation Model Limitations

Our AI-driven valuation model is a statistical tool that provides estimated value ranges based on historical data. It is not a substitute for a professional appraisal. Actual market values may differ significantly from our estimates. Past auction results are not predictive of future results.
