These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding contract between FraudTrax — operated by Hatchet412 / CCR Capital Investments, LLC ("we," "us," "FraudTrax") — and you (and the agency you represent, if applicable) ("you," "your"). By accessing or using fraudtrax.net, app.fraudtrax.net, or any associated API or service (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You may use the Service only if you are (a) at least 18 years old, (b) legally capable of entering a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction, and (c) a sworn officer, licensed investigator, credentialed agency employee, or other authorized law-enforcement or fraud-investigation professional. Free-tier access is open to any qualifying professional; Pro and Agency tiers are gated by email-domain verification and/or administrator review.
To sign in you provide a work email address. Access is granted via magic-link. You agree to:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that show evidence of credential sharing, misrepresentation of affiliation, or other policy violations.
FraudTrax offers AI-assisted analysis of license plates, VIN verification, dealer cross-reference, and a national confirmed-fraud hotlist. Specific features depend on your subscription tier. Full features and current limits are described on our pricing page. We may add, modify, or remove features at any time; material changes to paid-tier features will be announced in advance where reasonably practicable.
You retain ownership of the photographs, notes, case numbers, signatures, and other content you submit to the Service ("Your Content"). You grant FraudTrax a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use Your Content for the limited purposes of:
This license ends when you delete Your Content, except where retention is required for legal, tax, audit, or fraud-prevention purposes. See our Privacy Policy for specific retention periods.
The Service — including all software, design, branding, AI prompts, state reference data, database schemas, and written content — is owned by FraudTrax or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any IP rights to you other than the limited right to use the Service as permitted here.
You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from any part of the Service except as expressly permitted, and you may not scrape, redistribute, or commercially exploit FraudTrax-owned content (including the state reference dataset and the national hotlist as a whole).
Use of the Service is subject to the acceptable-use rules in our Hold Harmless & Liability Terms. Prohibited conduct includes (without limitation): using the Service for any purpose other than bona fide law-enforcement / fraud-investigation activity; uploading content you lack lawful authority to process; uploading images of minors; misrepresenting agency affiliation; submitting fabricated hotlist entries; scraping, redistributing, or reverse-engineering the Service; and circumventing tier limits or moderation controls. Violation may result in immediate termination and legal action.
When you submit a Confirmed Fraud Report, you represent that you have lawful authority to do so and that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge at the time of submission. FraudTrax may, at its discretion, approve, reject, or remove any submission. Approved reports are visible to other verified users per the contact-visibility level you chose. You may withdraw a submission at any time by contacting us; previously-generated hotlist downloads by other users cannot be recalled.
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
The Service relies on third-party providers including Anthropic (Claude AI), Cloudflare (hosting + Workers AI), Resend (email), Stripe (billing), Google (optional Vision OCR), and NHTSA (public VIN decode). Their terms and privacy policies apply to the portions of the Service they provide. We are not responsible for third-party outages, errors, or policy changes.
We target high availability but make no guarantee of continuous or error-free operation. We may perform maintenance, release updates, or temporarily suspend the Service at any time. We may modify features, limits, or these Terms; material changes affecting paid tiers will be announced at least 14 days in advance where practicable.
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," with all warranties disclaimed, and subject to the Hold Harmless & Liability Terms, which include the full disclaimers, no-warranty statements, limitation of liability, and indemnification obligations that apply to your use of the Service.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the Circuit Court of Marion County, Illinois, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, whichever has subject-matter jurisdiction. Both parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts, waive any right to a jury trial, and waive any right to participate in any class action.
By using the Service, you consent to receive electronic communications from FraudTrax (sign-in links, service notices, billing receipts, policy-change announcements) at the email address on your account. You agree that electronic agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted to this page at least 14 days before they take effect, and (where we have your contact on file) announced by email. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
