Last updated: April 2025

We run two services with different rules. Choose the one you bought.

Introduction

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the JP Sheet website and auction sheet verification services operated by JP Sheet ("we", "us", "our") at jpsheet.com.

By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part, you may not use our services. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and customers.

💡 These terms form a legal agreement between you and JP Sheet. If you have any questions, contact us at [email protected] before using our services.

1. Our Services

JP Sheet provides the following services:

  • Auction Sheet Report — retrieving the original auction inspection record for a Japanese vehicle using its chassis number ($7 per report)
  • Auction Sheet Translation — translating the Japanese auction sheet content into clear English ($5 standalone upload or $10 as Report + Translation bundle)
  • Deeper Scan — premium tier that includes translation plus a 9-point hidden risk audit, market valuation, full auction history, and theft check ($15 standalone upload or $15 as Report + Translation + Deeper Scan)
  • US & Canada VIN Check — a vehicle history report for a North American VIN, drawn from NMVTIS federal title records, salvage auctions and dealer listings ($25 per report). Covered in full by section 15.
  • Manual Archive Search — manually contacting Japanese auction houses to find records not in our standard database ($35 per search, only offered when no record is found, full refund if nothing located)
  • Packages — bulk credit packages for dealers and importers at discounted rates
  • Report Re-check — a $5 add-on to a delivered report. Our team re-pulls the chassis from all sources and adds any sale result, hammer price, photos or newer auction appearance the auction house has published since. We can only show what has been published: if nothing new exists, nothing is added and you are told so. The service is complete either way and is not refundable. A Deeper Scan includes one re-check.
  • Report a Problem — free. If a delivered report appears to have missing photos, a wrong price, or a detail that does not match the auction sheet, you may flag it from the report page and our team checks it against the original sheet within 12 hours. Corrections are made at no charge.

All services are subject to availability of data from Japanese auction house databases. JP Sheet is not an auction house and does not conduct vehicle inspections — we retrieve and present data created by licensed Japanese auction inspectors.

5. Accuracy of Reports

JP Sheet retrieves auction sheet data directly from Japanese auction house databases. We present this data as-is and do not modify, edit or fabricate any information.

  • Reports reflect the condition of the vehicle at the time of the auction in Japan — not its current condition
  • Damage or alterations occurring after export will not appear in our reports
  • We cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of data as it originates from third-party auction house systems
  • In rare cases, records may be unavailable, incomplete, or contain errors made by the original inspector
  • Our reports are for informational purposes and should be used as one of several tools when evaluating a vehicle

JP Sheet is not liable for purchasing decisions made based solely on our reports. We strongly recommend an independent physical inspection of any vehicle before purchase.

6. Refunds & Cancellations

  • Standard reports: Due to the instant digital nature of our service, refunds are not available once a report has been successfully delivered
  • Manual search: Full refund if our team cannot locate any record for your chassis number
  • Technical failure: If a report is not delivered due to a system error on our side, you will receive a full refund or a free re-delivery
  • Wrong chassis: If you entered the wrong chassis number, we cannot issue a refund — please double-check before paying
  • Packages: Unused package credits are non-refundable once purchased

To request a refund, contact [email protected] within 7 days of your order with your order reference. See our full Refund Policy.

7. Prohibited Uses

15. US & Canada VIN Check

This section applies only to the US and Canada VIN check ($25 per report). Everything above still applies; where the two differ, this section wins for VIN orders.

15.1 Coverage

United States and Canada only. A vehicle never registered in North America will not appear in these databases. For a Japanese import, use our auction sheet service instead — it is a different product with different sources.

15.2 Where the information comes from

Title, brand, odometer, junk, salvage and insurance records come from NMVTIS, the United States federal vehicle title database that states, insurers, salvage yards and junk yards are required by law to report to. Auction records, sale listings and photographs come from salvage auction houses and dealer listing networks. Specification and recall data comes from manufacturer filings and the US Department of Transportation.

We pass on what those sources hold. We do not alter, withhold or add to a record. If a source is wrong our report repeats that error — tell us and we will check it again by hand at no charge.

15.3 Delivery

Your report link is issued the moment you pay, before any data arrives. It identifies the vehicle and fills in as each search completes.

Most reports finish within minutes. Where the automated databases return little, a member of our team searches the archives directly — usually within 60 minutes, always within 12 hours. We email you when the page updates. The link does not expire.

15.4 “No record found” is a result

Every VIN order gets a real report. Where the automated search finds little, our team searches by hand and adds whatever exists. That is why this service takes up to 12 hours rather than being instant.

A report that returns no adverse records is a completed order, not a failed one. It tells you the vehicle has no salvage brand, no write-off, no theft report and no lien on file — which is exactly what a buyer needs to know. It is not refundable on that basis alone. Refund terms for VIN orders are in our refund policy.

15.5 What a VIN report cannot tell you

This is the most important paragraph in this section.

Records only show what was reported. An accident settled privately, a repair paid for in cash, or damage never claimed on insurance leaves no trace in any database — ours or anyone else’s. Where the report says no record was found, it means none of the databases we searched held one on the date shown. It does not prove the event never happened, and it is not a statement about the vehicle’s condition.

A VIN report is not an inspection. Rust, a tired gearbox, a poorly repaired panel — only a mechanic finds those. Use the report to decide what to ask the seller and what to have checked. Do not use it instead of looking at the car.

15.6 Fair use

A report is for your own use in buying, selling or valuing a vehicle. You may show it to a seller, a buyer, a mechanic or an insurer. You may not resell reports, republish them as your own product, or run automated bulk lookups. If you want to use this data in a business, email us and we will arrange proper access.

This service returns vehicle records only. It never returns an owner’s name or address — that is personal data and we neither hold nor supply it. You may not use this service to research a person.
