Backlist is a vehicle acquisition platform that aggregates private-party vehicle listings from multiple online marketplaces and delivers them to subscribing dealerships in real-time.

3. Account Requirements

You must be a licensed motor vehicle dealer or authorized representative to use Backlist. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

  • Use automated tools to scrape or extract data from the platform
  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to interfere with the platform's operation

6. Disclaimer

Backlist aggregates listings from third-party sources. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of any listing. Vehicle condition, pricing, and seller information should be independently verified.

7. Limitation of Liability

Backlist shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to vehicle purchases made based on listings found through the platform.

8. Backlist Seller Messaging (SMS Program)

Program name: Backlist Seller Messaging. If you are selling a vehicle and choose to opt in, Backlist sends you text messages on behalf of the dealer you are working with, about the vehicle you have for sale — questions about the vehicle, offers, and scheduling an inspection or pickup.

  • How to join: submit your mobile number and check the optional consent box at backlist.io/text-consent. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.
  • Message frequency: varies — typically a few messages while you are in contact with the dealer about your vehicle.
  • Cost: Backlist does not charge for these messages. Message and data rates may apply from your carrier.
  • To opt out: reply STOP to any message. You will receive no further messages.
  • For help: reply HELP, or email bennett@backlist.io.
  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
  • See our Privacy Policy for how opt-in data is handled. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent is never shared with third parties.

9. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
