CL Pro Search
Terms of Service
Effective August 14, 2026 · Last updated September 22, 2026
In plain terms: CL Pro Search saves copies of classified listings to your own computer, keeps private notes you write against them, marks which listings you have already been through, and on craigslist hides duplicate ads. On a saved used-vehicle listing it offers an affiliate link to a discounted vehicle history report, and we earn a commission on reports bought through it.
It is free to try: a single allowance covers 5 saved listings, 10 noted listings and 5 craigslist deduplications, and running out of any one of them ends the free period for all three. Continuing after that requires a license — $9.99 USD for one year, or $19.99 USD for the lifetime of the product. Nothing renews automatically and no card is kept on file. Payments are handled by Link, which appears on your statement as LINK.COM and which handles refunds.
Reaching the limit never takes away work you have already done: listings you saved stay on your computer and notes you wrote stay readable. The extension is offered as-is, you must be 18 or older, and we are not connected to craigslist or any of the other sites it runs on.
These terms are an agreement between you and Cool Apps LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. They govern your use of the CL Pro Search Chrome extension and the website at clprosearch.com. By installing or using the extension, you accept them. If you do not accept them, you must remove the extension and cease using this site.
1. What CL Pro Search does
CL Pro Search is a browser extension for evaluating and keeping track of classified listings on craigslist, AutoTrader, CarGurus, Cars.com and Classics on Autotrader. It lets you save a complete copy of a listing to your own computer, write private notes against a listing, and see at a glance which listings you have already opened, noted or saved. On craigslist it also identifies listings that appear to be duplicates of one another and hides the repeats at your instruction.
On a used-vehicle listing you have saved, it offers a button linking to a discounted vehicle history report. That button appears in the saved copy on your computer and at the top of the extension’s Saved Listings page. It is not added to any page that craigslist, AutoTrader, CarGurus, Cars.com or Classics serves you.
Duplicate detection is automated and works from the information a listing displays. It will occasionally hide something that was not a duplicate, or leave a duplicate visible. It is a convenience, not a guarantee, and you should not rely on it to see every listing that exists.
2. Free use, and what a license costs
CL Pro Search has a single free allowance, shared across three features. You may save 5 listings; note up to 10 listings; and deduplicate up to 5 searches on craigslist. Reaching any one of those three limits ends free use of all three; the purchase of a license restores all of them.
A deduplication on craigslist only counts against its 5 when the extension actually hides a duplicate ad — if a search contains no duplicates and nothing is hidden it is not counted as a deduplication. Hiding duplicates is applied to the page you are viewing and is not stored, so returning to an earlier search means you must click Deduplicate again — but at no cost to your allowance. Deduplicating a search you previously deduplicated does not count against your allowance of 5, and neither does re-sorting deduplicated search results or switching between gallery, list, and map views.
Reaching the free allowance limit never withholds work you have already done. Listings you have saved stay on your computer and remain openable from the Saved Listings page or Downloads / CLProSearch; notes you have written remain readable. A license is required to add notes, save additional listings, or deduplicate additional craigslist searches.
Marking listings you have opened as Viewed is part of free use. While the free allowance lasts, listings you open are marked; once it is spent, the marks already shown remain, but listings you open after that are not marked until you hold a license.
To continue after the allowance is spent, you buy a license:
- 1-year license — $9.99 USD. Runs for 365 days from the date of purchase, then stops.
- Lifetime license — $19.99 USD. Does not expire. See section 2.2 for what "lifetime" means.
Prices are set in U.S. dollars. The payment page may display and charge an equivalent amount in your local currency.
The vehicle history button itself is never restricted. It works whether or not you hold a license, and listings you have already saved remain accessible after the free allowance is spent. Creating new saved listings is part of that allowance, so without a license there are at most five listings on which the button can appear.
2.1 Nothing renews automatically
No card is stored and nothing is ever charged again without you going through checkout yourself. A 1-year license runs its term and then simply stops working. There is no automatic renewal to cancel, no trial that converts into a charge, and no way for us to bill you a second time. If you want another year, you buy another year.
Because a 1-year license expires quietly, we send an expiry reminder by email about 30 days beforehand. That reminder is part of the service, not marketing, and you receive it whether or not you have opted in to hearing from us about anything else.
2.2 What "Lifetime" means
The lifetime of the product, not the lifetime of the purchaser. A Lifetime license is scoped to CL Pro Search only. It does not extend to other Cool Apps LLC products, or to any future bundle. If CL Pro Search is discontinued under section 12, a Lifetime license ends with it.
2.3 Price changes
Prices may rise. The two licenses are treated differently, and both are stated here so neither is a surprise.
A Lifetime license is honored at its original terms permanently — including one bought at $19.99 after the price has gone up. We will not come back and ask for the difference.
A 1-year license is honored for the term you bought, at the price you paid. Renewing is a new purchase at whatever the price is on the day you renew. It is not a price lock.
2.4 Upgrading from a 1-year license to Lifetime
Upgrading from a 1-year license to a Lifetime license is a new, separate purchase at the current Lifetime price. No credit or proration is applied for any unused portion of an existing 1-year license. Your 1-year license remains valid until its expiry date and is superseded by the Lifetime license.
3. Payment, and who you are buying from
Payments are processed by Link, which acts as merchant of record for the sale. Link takes the payment, issues your receipt, and handles refunds.
Your card statement will read LINK.COM. It will not name CL Pro Search or Cool Apps LLC. This is expected and is not an unauthorized charge. If you are trying to identify a charge weeks later, LINK.COM is what to look for.
Checkout takes place on a payment page in a separate tab. The extension never sees your payment details, and no card information passes through it or through us at any point.
3.1 Refunds
Refunds are handled by Link as merchant of record, under Link's refund policy. Cool Apps LLC does not impose any additional restriction on it.
Separately, and in addition to that: if you ask us within 14 days of purchase, we will approve a refund without asking why. That is a commitment we are making, not a deadline we are setting — a request made after 14 days is still handled under Link's policy, which may well grant it.
A license that has been refunded or charged back is revoked and stops working.
4. Your license key and activations
After purchase, your license key is emailed to you. It is not displayed on the thank-you page — email is the only place it is delivered, so keep that message. If you lose it, we can email it to you again at the address you bought with.
A license may be active on five installations at once. Activating a sixth does not lock you out: the least recently used activation is retired to make room. You can reactivate a retired installation whenever you like, which will in turn retire whichever one is then oldest.
Your license key is a credential and it is yours. Do not publish it, sell it, or pass it to anyone else.
5. Affiliate links
The Check Vehicle History button on a saved used-vehicle listing is an affiliate link, reached by way of a forwarding page at clprosearch.com. Cool Apps LLC earns a commission when you purchase a report through it. A 10% discount is applied automatically, and the commission does not increase what you pay.
The report itself is sold and produced by Detailed Vehicle History, not by us. We make no representation about the accuracy or completeness of any report. Questions, refunds, and disputes about a report are between you and Detailed Vehicle History.
6. Age requirement
You must be at least 18 years old to use CL Pro Search. By using it you confirm that you are.
7. Acceptable use
Use the extension for its intended purpose — browsing listings for yourself. Do not:
- Use it to scrape, harvest, or bulk-collect listing data
- Redistribute, resell, or repackage it
- Publish, sell, or share your license key, or use a key you did not buy
- Attempt to generate affiliate commissions through artificial clicks or purchases
- Use automated means to defeat the free-use limit or the activation limit
- Use it in a way that violates the terms of craigslist or any other site it runs on
8. Intellectual property
CL Pro Search — including its source code, user interface, design, text, logo, and name — is the property of Cool Apps LLC and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. © 2026 Cool Apps LLC. All rights reserved. The CL Pro Search and Cool Apps LLC names and logos are trademarks of Cool Apps LLC.
Buying a license buys the right to use the extension. It does not transfer any ownership of it. You may not copy, modify, republish, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the extension or any part of it, or present it as your own, except where a law that applies to you grants a right that cannot be excluded by agreement.
Chrome extensions are distributed as readable code, and we do not obfuscate ours — that is a Chrome Web Store requirement rather than a decision to give anything away. Being able to read the code does not grant a license to reuse it.
9. Other websites and services
CL Pro Search is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by craigslist, Inc., AutoTrader, CarGurus, Cars.com, Classics on Autotrader, Detailed Vehicle History, Link, Stripe, or Google. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Those websites can change at any time, and a change to how they are built may stop the extension from working correctly until we update it. We have no control over them and are not responsible for their content, their listings, or anyone you deal with through them.
10. No warranty
CL Pro Search is provided as is and as available, without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will identify every duplicate listing.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cool Apps LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of CL Pro Search — including any decision you make about buying, selling, or renting anything you found or did not find through it.
Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the extension will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) or the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim, whichever is greater.
12. Changes and discontinuation
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue CL Pro Search, in whole or in part, at any time. We may also update these terms; if we do, we will change the date at the top of this page, and material changes will be announced by email to license holders before taking effect. Continuing to use the extension after a change means you accept the updated terms.
13. Ending this agreement
You may end this agreement at any time by removing the extension from Chrome. We may end it if you use the extension in a way that breaks these terms. Removing the extension does not by itself entitle you to a refund; refunds are covered by section 3.1.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming.
