Terms of Service

Last updated October 14, 2026

These terms cover your use of VanityPlate - the website at vanityplate.org, the member dashboard at app.vanityplate.org and the VanityPlate Discord bot (together, "VanityPlate" or "the service"). By creating an account or using the service you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use VanityPlate.

1. What VanityPlate does

VanityPlate checks public plate-availability lookups on state DMV, BMV and similar websites and shows you the results, plus alerts when a plate you're interested in changes. VanityPlate is an independent tool. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for any DMV, BMV or government agency.

• We don't reserve, sell or order plates. You order a plate yourself, through your state's official process.
• Availability changes all the time. A plate shown as available may be taken by the time you order, and a state can refuse a plate for its own reasons even when its lookup says it's open.
• Some states only offer a registration lookup. Those results are marked "likely available" and should be confirmed with the state before you order.
• State websites can be slow, change or go offline, so results can be delayed, incomplete or wrong.

2. Your account

• You must be at least 13 years old to use VanityPlate. If you're under 18, you need a parent's or guardian's permission.
• You can sign in with email and password, Google or Discord. Keep your login details safe - you're responsible for activity on your account.
• One account per person. Don't create extra accounts to get around free-plan limits.

3. Free plan and Premium

• The free plan includes a limited number of plate checks, previews and watched plates. We may change free-plan limits at any time.
• Premium is sold and billed through Whop, and Whop's own terms apply to the purchase. Prices are shown before you pay.
• You can cancel any time from your Whop account. Unless stated otherwise at checkout, you keep Premium until the end of the period you've already paid for.
• If something went wrong with a charge, email [email protected] and we'll look into it.

4. Acceptable use

Please don't:

• scrape, copy or resell data from VanityPlate, or use bots or scripts to access the service;
• try to get around limits, access controls or security, or interfere with the service or the state websites it checks;
• flood the service with checks, watches or plate requests, or use it to target or harass anyone;
• use VanityPlate for anything illegal.

We may limit, suspend or close accounts that break these rules.

5. Alerts

Alerts by email or Discord are sent on a best-effort basis. Email and Discord delivery can be delayed or filtered, and alerts depend on state websites answering. Don't rely on an alert as the only way to know about a plate. You can turn email alerts off at any time from the link in each email or on the Watches page.

6. Other services

VanityPlate relies on other companies' services, including state DMV websites, Discord, Clerk (sign-in), Google (if you sign in with Google) and Whop (payments). Their own terms and policies apply when you use them, and we aren't responsible for them.

7. Our content

The VanityPlate name, logo, website and software belong to us. Plate data shown by the service comes from public state lookups. You may use the results for your own personal plate search.

8. No warranty

VanityPlate is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that the service will be accurate, complete, uninterrupted or error-free, or that you'll get any particular plate.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, VanityPlate won't be liable for any indirect or consequential loss - including a plate you didn't get - and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Ending your use

You can stop using VanityPlate at any time, and ask us to delete your account by emailing [email protected]. We may suspend or end access if these terms are broken or if we stop offering the service.

11. Changes

We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the date at the top of this page. If you keep using VanityPlate after a change, you accept the updated terms.
