Nothing in these Terms grants you any right or license to use any of our trademarks, trade names, service marks, or brand elements without our prior written consent.
Third-party names, logos, and product references that appear on the Site (including references to national retailers such as Walmart, AutoZone, Pep Boys, O'Reilly, and Advance Auto Parts) are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.

You grant Auto Skus, LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use the Submission in connection with responding to your inquiry and operating our business, subject to the Privacy Policy.
Unsolicited product ideas, concepts, or proposals are discouraged. If you nonetheless choose to send us any such material, you agree it is not submitted in confidence, and we have no obligation to treat it as proprietary or to refrain from using similar ideas already under development or obtained from other sources.
6. Third-party links and services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We provide these links for convenience only, and their inclusion does not imply endorsement. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party site or service, and your use of any linked third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site's terms and privacy policy.
7. Disclaimers
The Site and all content, materials, data, and information provided through the Site are furnished for general informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, financial, tax, or professional advice. Industry data, category analysis, retailer references, and forecast information published on the Site are derived from public sources and our own estimates and are provided "as is."
8. Limitation of liability
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
