Introduction

Not a Law Firm
Important Notice
Claim Builder is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, legal representation, or any regulated legal service. No use of our Service creates a solicitor-client relationship. Nothing on this platform should be construed as legal advice, and our documents do not constitute legal opinions.
Our documents are produced using automated tools based on information you provide. They are intended as a starting point for your claim and to assist in presenting your position professionally. They do not replace professional legal advice.
If you are uncertain about the legal merits of your case, the appropriate forum, or any other legal question, you must consult a qualified solicitor before taking action.
No Guarantee of Outcomes
We make no guarantee, representation, or warranty regarding:
- The success of any claim submitted using our documents
- The amount of compensation, recovery, or reimbursement you may receive
- How any insurer, landlord, debtor, or court will respond to your claim
- Whether a claim letter or evidence pack will result in settlement or payment
- The enforceability of any specific document in any specific jurisdiction or circumstance
Outcomes depend entirely on your individual circumstances, the quality and accuracy of information you provide, the decisions of third parties (including insurers, courts, landlords, and debtors), and factors outside our control.
The fact that a platform like ours exists to help you present a professional claim does not guarantee any particular result. We provide tools — outcomes are determined elsewhere.
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for:
- Accuracy of information: Providing truthful, accurate, and complete information through our builders. Documents are generated based entirely on what you input. Incorrect or misleading information will result in inaccurate documents for which we bear no responsibility.
- Review before sending: Carefully reviewing all generated documents before submitting them to any third party. You must not send documents containing errors, omissions, or inaccuracies without correcting them.
- How documents are used: All decisions about whether, when, and how to use any document generated by our platform are yours alone. We are not responsible for any consequences arising from how you use, send, or rely on our documents.
- Compliance with law: Ensuring that your use of our platform and the documents you generate complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
Valuation Disclaimer
Where our Service provides vehicle valuations, diminution in value calculations, or any other financial estimates:
- All valuations are estimates only, generated using third-party market data and proprietary calculation models
- They do not represent guaranteed market values, nor a professional appraisal or survey report
- They are intended for use as supporting evidence in a claim letter or evidence pack — not as binding valuations
- Actual market values may differ from our estimates depending on the specific vehicle, buyer, market conditions, and other factors at the time of any transaction
- We are not liable for any difference between estimated and actual values received
If you require a formal, certified valuation for court proceedings or dispute resolution, you should commission one from a qualified independent motor trade professional.
Document Use Restrictions
Documents generated through our platform are licensed for personal use only in relation to your own individual claim or recovery matter.
- You may not resell, redistribute, or sublicense our document templates or generated outputs
- You may not use our documents as templates to assist third parties with their claims without our express written consent
- You may not commercially exploit our document generation systems or output
- Documents may not be used in any way that misrepresents their origin or nature
We reserve the right to take action against any misuse of our intellectual property, including commercial exploitation of generated documents.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use our Service. By using our Service, you confirm that you are 18 or older and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. Our Service is intended for use within the United Kingdom.
Account Registration
Some features of our Service require account registration. Where you create an account, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
- Maintain the security of your password and account
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account
- Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
Note: Some products (including the Vehicle Value Loss Recovery Pack and Debt Recovery Pack) do not require an account prior to purchase.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
Payment and Pricing
Payment is required before documents are generated and delivered. By making a payment, you agree that:
- All payments are processed securely via Stripe
- Prices are displayed in GBP and include VAT where applicable
- Current product pricing: Vehicle Value Loss Recovery Pack (£49.99); Debt Recovery Pack (£99); Full Recovery Bundle (£199); Enforcement Pack (£129.99)
- Prices may change from time to time — the price shown at checkout applies

Refunds
Digital Product — Non-Refundable Once Accessed
Because our products are digital documents delivered instantly upon payment, they are generally non-refundable once a document has been generated, accessed, or downloaded. This is consistent with consumer rights legislation under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (regulation 28(1)(b)), which allows businesses to exclude the right of cancellation for digital content that has been supplied.
Specifically:
- No refund once a document pack has been generated, downloaded, or accessed
- Refund may be considered if you contact us before any document generation has occurred and the payment was made in error
- Any refund requests must be submitted to hello@claimbuilder.co.uk within 24 hours of purchase
- Refunds will not be granted on the basis that the claim was unsuccessful or that the insurer, landlord, or court did not respond favourably
See our full Refund Policy for complete details.

Your use of our Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. We comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any other legitimate reason. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature survive termination (including Sections 3, 4, 6, 13, 14) shall continue to apply.
Document Storage & Retention
We retain generated reports and documents for a maximum period of 12 months from the date of creation. After this period, documents may be permanently deleted without notice.
It is the user's responsibility to download and securely store any documents provided. We do not guarantee the availability, retrieval, or restoration of documents once deleted.
We do not provide document storage, backup, or archiving services. Documents are made available for a limited time after generation solely to allow you to download them.
Important: Please download and keep a copy of your documents immediately upon generation. Do not rely on this platform as a long-term storage or archive service.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email or by posting a notice on our platform. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. The date of last update is shown at the top of this page.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
