Compliance

The honest line
- FlashFender records the facts — disclosure fields, consent, we-owes, damage notes. It does not decide what the law requires for your transaction.
- US-only regimes like NHTSA recall enforcement are out of scope for a Canadian product; CARFAX Canada is the history source we integrate.
- Provincial registrations (OMVIC for Ontario dealers) remain the dealer’s responsibility — FlashFender is a tool, not a regulator or a law firm.
