Terms of Use

Last updated: 19 September 2026

These Terms of Use govern your use of the Whip website and its general features.

Whip is a UK automotive careers platform operated as an unincorporated business.

By using the Whip website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with them, you should not use the website.

For enquiries, contact hello@whipauto.co.uk.

1. About Whip

Whip is an automotive careers platform designed to help people discover jobs, employers and career opportunities across the UK automotive industry.

Whip's current features include:

  • automotive job discovery and search;
  • information about automotive employers;
  • links to vacancies published on employer and third-party recruitment websites; and
  • candidate accounts and Whip Talent profiles.

Whip may introduce, change or discontinue features as the platform develops.

Some future services may be subject to additional terms before they can be used.

2. Using the Whip website

You may use Whip only for lawful purposes.

You must not:

  • misuse, interfere with or attempt to compromise the website or its security;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to accounts, candidate information or restricted areas;
  • scrape, harvest, copy or systematically extract candidate profiles or other Whip data without permission;
  • use automated systems to access Whip in a way that places unreasonable demands on the service;
  • impersonate another person or organisation;
  • knowingly provide false, misleading or fraudulent information;
  • upload malicious software or harmful material;
  • use Whip to send spam, unsolicited marketing or abusive communications; or
  • use information obtained through Whip for an unlawful or unauthorised purpose.

Whip may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, the platform or its security.

3. Job listings

Whip displays information about automotive vacancies to help users discover career opportunities.

Vacancy information may originate from employers and other recruitment sources where those vacancies have been published online.

Whip aims to provide useful and current vacancy information, but vacancies and their details can change, expire or be withdrawn without notice.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, displaying information about a vacancy on Whip does not mean that Whip is the employer.

Applications for jobs currently displayed on Whip are completed through the relevant employer or external recruitment website. Whip does not currently receive applications submitted through those external websites.

Before applying, users should review the vacancy and application information on the relevant employer or recruitment website.

Where Whip becomes aware that vacancy information displayed on the website is materially inaccurate or no longer current, Whip may correct, update or remove it.

4. External websites

Whip contains links to websites operated by employers, recruiters and other third parties.

These websites are outside Whip's control and may have their own terms, privacy policies and practices.

A link from Whip does not mean that Whip controls, operates or accepts responsibility for the third-party website.

Users should review the relevant third party's terms and privacy information when leaving Whip.

5. Candidate accounts and Whip Talent profiles

Whip Talent is intended for people aged 18 or over.

Candidates may create an account and provide information about their automotive career experience, skills, qualifications, preferences and the type of opportunities they may be interested in.

Candidates are responsible for ensuring that information they provide is accurate and reasonably current.

Candidate accounts are personal and should not be shared with another person.

Whip Talent profiles are not currently available for employers to browse.

Creating a Whip Talent profile does not mean that Whip will automatically share your information with employers, submit you for vacancies, contact employers on your behalf or arrange candidate introductions.

Whip may introduce additional Talent features in future. Where appropriate, candidates will be provided with information about those features and any additional terms before participating in them.

6. CVs

Candidates may choose to upload a CV to their Whip account.

CVs are not currently made available to employers through Whip Talent.

Candidates are responsible for ensuring that they have the right to provide information contained within their CV and that the information is reasonably accurate.

Please avoid including sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary.

How Whip stores and handles CVs and other candidate information is explained in the Privacy Policy.

7. Future Talent and recruitment features

Whip may develop additional services in future, including features that allow candidates and employers to connect.

Such features are not part of the current Whip Talent profile service unless and until Whip makes them available.

Additional terms, eligibility requirements, privacy information or candidate choices may apply before those services can be used.

Where applicable, Whip will introduce any future recruitment, work-finding or candidate-introduction services in accordance with the legal requirements applying to those services.

8. Accounts and security

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for activity carried out through your account.

You should notify Whip promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

Whip may require password resets, restrict access or take other reasonable security measures where an account may have been compromised.

Whip may suspend or close an account where reasonably necessary for security, misuse, material breach of these Terms or legal reasons.

9. Availability of Whip

Whip aims to keep its services available and functioning reliably, but continuous or uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed.

Whip may change, suspend or temporarily withdraw parts of the website for maintenance, security, technical, legal or operational reasons.

Whip may also introduce, change or discontinue features as the platform develops.

10. Information and career decisions

Whip aims to provide useful information to help users discover automotive careers, employers and vacancies.

Whip does not guarantee that:

  • information supplied by an employer or third party will always be complete or error-free;
  • a vacancy will remain available;
  • an employer will respond to an application;
  • a user will receive an interview or job offer; or
  • use of Whip will result in employment.

Users remain responsible for deciding whether a vacancy or employer is suitable for them and for checking relevant information before making employment or career decisions.

Employers and other third parties remain responsible for their own recruitment processes and decisions.

11. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the Whip name, branding, website design, original written content, software and other material created by Whip are owned by or licensed to Whip.

You may use the website for your own legitimate job-search, career or informational purposes.

You must not reproduce, sell, republish or commercially exploit substantial parts of Whip's original content, database or platform without permission, except where permitted by law.

Employer names, logos, trademarks and third-party content remain the property of their respective owners.

Nothing in these Terms claims ownership by Whip of third-party vacancy information, employer trademarks or other material belonging to third parties.

12. Privacy

Personal information is handled in accordance with Whip's Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains what information Whip collects, why it is used, how it is shared, how long it is retained and the data-protection rights available to individuals.

13. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable.

Subject to applicable law, Whip is not responsible for the independent acts, omissions or decisions of employers, recruiters or other third parties, or for losses arising solely from matters outside Whip's reasonable control.

Whip does not control whether a third-party vacancy remains available or whether information on an external website changes after information has been displayed on Whip.

Nothing in these Terms affects any legal rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Removal and correction of content

Whip aims to keep information displayed on the website useful and current.

If an employer, rights holder or other relevant party believes information relating to them is inaccurate, out of date or should be removed, they may contact hello@whipauto.co.uk.

Whip may investigate, correct, update or remove content where appropriate.

15. Changes to these Terms

Whip may update these Terms as the platform, services or legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on the Whip website with an updated Last updated date.

Where Whip introduces a service requiring additional terms or user agreement, users may be required to accept those terms before using that service.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Any dispute will be subject to the jurisdiction applicable under UK law, including any mandatory rights you may have regarding where proceedings can be brought.
