Terms and Conditions

Everest provides a business-to-business software platform designed to assist automotive professionals in interpreting vehicle-related information, identifying potential calibration considerations, comparing estimates, and facilitating communication workflows. The Services are intended solely as informational and workflow-support tools.

The Services do not constitute, and shall not be construed as, repair instructions, engineering advice, safety determinations, compliance determinations, or professional certifications of any kind. Everest does not perform or supervise repairs, diagnostics, inspections, calibrations, or any physical work on vehicles, and Everest does not make repair decisions.

The Services are intended exclusively for use by qualified automotive industry professionals. Customer represents and warrants that it possesses the requisite knowledge, training, and expertise to evaluate and apply the Outputs generated by the Services.

Customer expressly acknowledges that all Outputs are provided for reference purposes only and are not to be relied upon as a sole or definitive source of information. Independent verification through current OEM documentation and qualified professional judgment is required in all circumstances.

Customer assumes full responsibility for all use of the Services and any decisions, actions, or omissions arising therefrom. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all data submitted to the Services, including but not limited to VIN information and vehicle details.

Customer further agrees that it is solely responsible for confirming vehicle-specific configurations, identifying all equipped systems including ADAS components, reviewing and complying with all current OEM procedures and requirements, determining the necessity of any scans, calibrations, inspections, repairs, or related operations, and ensuring that all work is performed by properly trained and qualified personnel.

Customer acknowledges that failure to independently verify information may result in improper repairs, missed calibrations, vehicle damage, system malfunction, personal injury, regulatory violations, or financial loss, for which Everest shall bear no responsibility.

Customer acknowledges that advanced driver assistance systems and other safety-critical vehicle systems are highly dependent upon VIN-specific data, trim level, installed equipment, software versions, repair conditions, replacement parts, and ongoing manufacturer updates.

Everest makes no representation or warranty that any Output identifies all required calibrations, scans, inspections, aiming procedures, resets, relearns, coding, programming, or repair operations. Customer remains solely responsible for confirming all such requirements using current OEM documentation prior to performing or authorizing any work.

The Services may incorporate or rely upon data obtained from third-party sources. Everest does not control, verify, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or applicability of such data.

Customer acknowledges that changes in manufacturer specifications, vehicle configurations, or third-party data sources may render Outputs incomplete or outdated.

Certain aspects of the Services may utilize rules-based processing, user-supplied data, and automated or artificial intelligence-assisted logic. Customer acknowledges that such processes are inherently subject to limitations and may produce incomplete, inaccurate, or inconsistent results.

All Outputs must be independently reviewed and verified by Customer prior to reliance or use. Customer agrees that it will not rely on the Services or any Output as a sole or determinative source of information under any circumstances.

The Services are provided on a subscription basis and are billed monthly in advance. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled in accordance with these Terms.

Customer must provide at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation. Cancellation shall become effective at the conclusion of the then-current billing period. All fees are non-refundable, including fees for partial periods or unused Services.
