Website Disclaimer

TheCarLane is an independent, one-person publication. I’m Ayush Sondhi, I own the site and write everything on it. The information provided on https://thecarlane.com (the “Site”) is for general informational and educational purposes only. Everything here is published in good faith, based on my own vehicle testing, logged diagnostic data, documented owner reports, and manufacturer technical documentation. Even so, I make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on the Site.

Under no circumstance shall I have any liability to you for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of using the Site or relying on any information provided here. Your use of the Site and your reliance on any information on it is solely at your own risk.

Not Professional Automotive Advice

I publish guides on vehicle diagnostics, fault codes, maintenance, and modifications. They do not replace professional diagnosis or repair by a qualified mechanic. Vehicles differ by model, engine, market, and condition, a procedure or interpretation that applies to my car may not apply to yours. Always consult a qualified professional before undertaking repairs, and follow your manufacturer’s guidelines. Working on vehicles carries inherent risks; you are responsible for your own safety and for compliance with the laws of your country, including emissions and roadworthiness regulations. I do not encourage or endorse modifications that are unlawful on public roads in your region.

Affiliate Disclosure

TheCarLane participates in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Some links on this Site are affiliate links: if you click one and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

I only recommend products I have personally purchased and used, or directly tested. Affiliate relationships never influence my verdicts, where a product performed poorly in my testing, the article says so. Where a product was provided free of charge for review, the article discloses this plainly.

Digital Products

I sell digital reference guides that I have written myself. These are informational products subject to the same disclaimers above. Details of pricing, delivery, and refunds are provided at the point of sale.

The Site may contain links to other websites or content belonging to or originating from third parties. I do not investigate, monitor, or check external links for accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness. I do not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any information offered by third-party websites linked through the Site, and I am not a party to, or in any way responsible for, any transaction between you and third-party providers of products or services.

Advertising Disclosure

The Site displays third-party advertising, which helps fund the free content I publish. Advertisers do not influence my editorial content, and the presence of an advertisement does not constitute an endorsement of the advertised product or service.

Errors and Corrections

I aim to keep every article accurate and up to date, and articles display their last-updated date. If you spot an error, I genuinely want to know: write to me at contact@thecarlane.com and I will review and correct it.
