Terms of Use

By accessing or using The Auto Junkie ("the Site"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

About the content

The Auto Junkie is a source-first automotive aggregator. We publish short, original summaries of stories reported by third-party publishers and link to the original articles. Summaries are provided for general information and convenience; they are not a substitute for the original reporting, and we make no warranty that they are complete, accurate, or current.

Intellectual property

The summaries, layout, branding, and original text on this Site are owned by The Auto Junkie. Article headlines, trademarks, and linked content belong to their respective publishers and rights holders, and are referenced here for commentary and attribution. You may share links to our pages, but you may not republish our summaries wholesale without permission.

Third-party links

The Site links to external websites we don't control. We're not responsible for the content, accuracy, advertising, or practices of those sites. Following an outbound link is at your own discretion and subject to that site's terms.

The "Ask the Junkie" assistant

Our AI assistant provides opinionated, general automotive guidance for entertainment and informational purposes. It can be wrong, and it does not have live pricing or breaking-news access. Always verify important details — especially prices, specifications, and safety information — with an authoritative source before acting.

Advertising

The Site displays advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense and its partners. See our Privacy Policy for how advertising and cookies are handled.

Acceptable use

• Don't use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in a way that could damage, disable, or impair it.
• Don't attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, scrape at abusive volumes, or interfere with other users.
• Don't submit content through our forms or assistant that is unlawful, abusive, or infringes others' rights.

Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Auto Junkie is not liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site or any linked content.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
