If KVS is not a registered company then how is there a "Company Representative" on FlyerTalk? Perhaps a moderator can explain.

It seems odd that the KVS Availability Tool is unable to scrape "Specialised Web Browse" the KVSTool.com website..

Perhaps KVS pays for this data and so limits the ability to use it to minimise cost.

Or perhaps the data comes from another source (ExpertFlyer perhaps?) which KVS isn't strictly meant to allow other users access to and so masks it through their own server?

Although I didn't realise it at the time, I am glad I used a different email and did not link my FT username to my registration.

I can't believe the poor PR being shown, and that instead of being open and honest about what is going on KVS employs obfuscation and misdirection in answering questions. Not too dissimilar to their screen scraping software that hides the websites it accesses often in violation of those websites T&C's.
