VeriTool only works if everyone uses it honestly. This policy sits alongside our Terms.
You must not
- Register tools you do not own or lawfully control.
- List a tool as stolen when it has not been stolen, or knowingly include false information in a report.
- Use the serial check or stolen register to harass, intimidate or threaten anyone.
- Scrape, bulk-download or otherwise mass-extract data from the public register without our prior written permission.
- Attempt to brute-force serial numbers, probe for vulnerabilities, or otherwise interfere with the service.
- Impersonate another tradesperson, trade body, police force or insurer.
- Upload illegal content, malware, or anything that infringes someone else's rights.
Owner-finder relay
If you make contact with an owner via VeriTool because you've seen a tool, do not approach the holder of the tool yourself — call 101 or 999. Use the relay to share useful information, not to negotiate purchase of a suspected stolen item.
Enforcement
Breaches may result in content removal, account suspension or termination, and where appropriate referral to law enforcement.
