Terms of Service
Plain terms for a service that works for the buyer. These terms govern your use of Ask Tavo.
This page is maintained by the Ask Tavo team. It describes the terms of using the service and is not legal advice. Questions: hello@asktavo.com.
What Ask Tavo is
- Ask Tavo is a car-buying research, communication, and deal-review assistant for vehicle buyers. Tavo works for the buyer.
- Tavo is not a dealership or lender. Tavo does not sell vehicles, act as a dealer of record, or originate, broker, or provide financing or insurance.
- Tavo provides informational guidance and estimates, not legal, tax, or financial advice.
Information collected
- Using the service requires an account and the deal or search information you choose to provide. The Privacy Policy describes the categories collected and how they are used.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you submit; estimates depend on it.
Uploaded documents
- You may upload a quote, worksheet, or buyer's order. You represent that you have the right to share any document you upload.
- Uploaded documents are stored privately and used to perform the review you requested.
Use of AI services
- The service uses artificial intelligence to read submitted information, draft messages, and produce estimates and recommendations.
- AI output can be incomplete or incorrect and must be reviewed by you before you rely on it or approve a message.
Communications with dealers
- Tavo drafts messages to dealerships and sends them under your direction. You remain the party to any communication, negotiation, appointment, or purchase with a dealership.
- Ask Tavo is not responsible for a dealership's pricing, conduct, inventory accuracy, or honoring of a quote.
Consent and authorization
- No dealer communication or negotiation is sent without the buyer's authorization. You approve every negotiation or dealer message before it is sent.
- By using the service you authorize Tavo to process your submitted information to deliver it, and you may withdraw authorization for further outreach at any time.
Data sharing
- Information is shared with service providers that operate the product and with dealerships to the extent needed to carry out outreach you authorize.
- Recommendations are based on buyer value, not dealer compensation.
Data retention
- Account, deal, document, and message records are retained while your account is active, and afterwards only where required for legal, tax, security, or fraud-prevention purposes.
Deletion requests
- You may stop using the service at any time and request deletion of your account or uploaded documents at privacy@asktavo.com.

Security limitations
- We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no online service can be completely secure and we do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
- You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure.
Estimates and third-party information
- Deal Check results, Deal Score™ categories, out-the-door totals, market comparisons, and trade estimates are informational estimates based on the information available at the time.
- Listing, pricing, incentive, and market data may come from dealerships and third-party sources and can be inaccurate or out of date.
- Vehicle availability, pricing, financing, taxes, fees, incentives, and trade values must be confirmed with the dealership and lender before you sign anything.
No guarantee of vehicle availability or savings

Fees and payment
