Public directory
By using the Service, businesses agree that they may appear in public search results, categories, featured businesses, recommendations, promotional sections, and business directories.
Appearance or ranking in search results or directories does not imply endorsement by Vechilo and does not guarantee business visibility, platform traffic, or customer engagement.
Intellectual Property
Businesses retain ownership of their uploaded content, including text, images, product catalogs, and branding.
Businesses grant Vechilo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, display, index, optimize, and publish that content for operating, improving, promoting, and providing the platform.
All Vechilo branding, logos, software, platform design, source code, APIs, and proprietary technology remain the exclusive property of Vechilo and its licensors.
Visitor and customer data
When visitors submit inquiries, their name and phone number are stored in Vechilo and shown in your dashboard Customers list.
Visitors confirm consent before submitting an inquiry. You act as an independent recipient of that information and must handle it lawfully, keep it secure, and honor applicable privacy obligations.
You must not export or use customer inquiry data for purposes unrelated to serving those customers, and you must delete or stop using data when you no longer have a lawful basis to retain it.
If you publish your own privacy notice on your website or page, it should accurately describe how you use customer contact details obtained through Vechilo.
