These terms

parts-predict is operated by MaddenTech in the United Kingdom. These terms cover your use of parts-predict on the web and in the Android app. By using the service you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use parts-predict.

parts-predict is free to use. There is no subscription and no charge for a lookup, a report or any other feature. Optional donations are the only thing anyone can pay, and they are never required.

What parts-predict is

parts-predict is an independent research tool. You give it a make, model and serial number, and it searches the web to estimate how old the appliance is and to score how likely you are to still find spare parts for it. Scores, estimates, supplier lists and manufacturer contact numbers are research findings for your information.

parts-predict is not connected with, endorsed by, or acting for any appliance manufacturer. Manufacturer names and marks are used only to identify the appliance you have looked up. We do not sell, supply, price or ship spare parts, and we take no payment for repairs.

Estimates and your decisions

Age estimates and availability scores come from public web research and are our best assessment, not a statement of fact. A score is not a guarantee that a part exists, fits, or is in stock — always confirm the part and the price with the manufacturer or a supplier before you commit to a repair or a purchase.

Please use common sense with safety. Repairs to gas, mains electrical and water-connected appliances should be carried out by a qualified engineer, and a report from parts-predict is not a substitute for professional advice.

Your account

An account is optional. If you create one, keep your sign-in details private, give us accurate information, and tell us if you think someone else has access to your account. You are responsible for activity that takes place through your account.

Free to use and donations

The lookup tool is free to use, with no subscription and no payment needed. Optional donations through PayPal are voluntary, buy no extra access or features, and go towards the running costs of the service.

Donations are handled by PayPal under its own terms. If a donation was taken in error, contact us and we will deal with it in line with your statutory rights.

Your consumer rights

Nothing in these terms affects your rights under UK consumer law. If the service is not provided with reasonable care and skill, or is not as described, you are entitled to a remedy.

Fair use

Please use parts-predict for your own appliance questions. Do not scrape or bulk-copy the service, resell or republish reports as your own, automate lookups to build a rival dataset, overload or attempt to break into the service, or use it for anything unlawful.

Availability and changes

We aim to keep parts-predict running smoothly, but we cannot promise the service will never be interrupted. We may add, change or withdraw features, and may need to take the service down for maintenance.

Ownership

The parts-predict name, its design, its text and its scoring method belong to MaddenTech or its licensors. You may use the reports you generate for your own personal or business purposes. Manufacturer names, model numbers and trade marks belong to their respective owners.

Our liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profit or lost business, or for costs of parts, repairs or replacements bought on the strength of an estimate, score or supplier list from parts-predict. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.

Ending your use

You can stop using parts-predict at any time and delete your account from the Account page. We may suspend or end access if these terms are broken, or if we discontinue the service. Nothing is owed back to you, because using the service costs nothing.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the new version appears here with a new date, and continuing to use parts-predict means you accept it. Questions about these terms can go to keith.madden@me.com.
