1. Agreement
These Terms of use (the “Terms”) govern your use of the website carnotes.app, the web application at app.carnotes.app and the Car Notes mobile application (together, the “Service”). The Service is operated by Jerry McQuin, Ukraine (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
The Privacy policy forms part of these Terms and explains how personal data is processed.
2. The Service
Car Notes is a tool for recording vehicle expenses, service history, documents and reminders, and for producing statistics from those records. Features may be added, changed or withdrawn as the Service develops.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old and legally able to enter into these Terms. The Service is intended for personal use. Use by a business for the management of its fleet is at its own risk and without any commitment on our part.
4. Your account
- Provide an email address that you control and keep your sign-in details confidential.
- You are responsible for activity under your account unless it results from our breach of these Terms.
- Notify us without delay at support@carnotes.app if you suspect unauthorised access.
5. Your content
You retain all rights in the records and files you add to the Service. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, copy and process that content solely in order to provide the Service to you. The licence ends when the content is deleted, subject to the backup cycle described in the Privacy policy.
You confirm that you are entitled to add your content and that it does not infringe the rights of others. Take particular care with documents that contain the personal data of other people.
If you send us an idea or suggestion, we may use it without restriction or payment.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to store unlawful content;
- attempt to access another person’s account or data;
- disrupt, overload or probe the Service, or circumvent its limits or security measures;
- copy, decompile or reverse-engineer the Service, except where the law permits this;
- scrape the Service or access it by automated means other than those we provide;
- use the Service or its content to train machine-learning models;
- resell the Service or present it as your own.
7. Calculations and information
Statistics, fuel consumption, cost per distance, trip costs, reports, reminders and converted amounts are estimates based on the information you enter and on data from third parties. Exchange rates are obtained from public sources and may be delayed or unavailable. You are responsible for checking any result before relying on it.
The Service does not provide financial, tax, legal or technical advice. Reminders do not replace the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, inspections or statutory deadlines for insurance and vehicle documents.
8. Safe use
Do not operate the Service while driving. The Service is not a safety system and must not be relied on where a failure could cause injury, damage or legal consequences.
9. Third-party services
Some features rely on third parties, including Google sign-in and maps. Their use is subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for their content or availability. Google Play is a means of distribution only and is not a party to these Terms. The terms of the store from which you install the application also apply to that installation.
10. Fees
The Service is currently free of charge. If we introduce paid features, we will announce the prices and conditions in advance, and you will not be charged unless you choose to purchase. Features you can use free of charge may change in accordance with section 16.
11. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, images, logos and the name Car Notes, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by law. All pictures and screenshots on the website are our original work. They may not be reproduced, adapted or published without our written permission.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. Third-party names and trademarks shown as examples belong to their owners and do not imply any affiliation.
12. Availability and backups
We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. It may be interrupted for maintenance, by faults or by events beyond our control. Although we use providers with backup facilities, we recommend that you regularly export a copy of your data through Profile → Data.
13. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in Profile → Account.
We may suspend or close an account where this is necessary to comply with the law, to protect the Service or other users, or in the event of a serious or repeated breach of these Terms. Except in urgent cases, we will notify you in advance and give you a reasonable opportunity to export your data. We may discontinue the Service by giving at least 30 days’ notice.
14. Disclaimer of warranties
To the extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.
15. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, missed maintenance, fines, or vehicle damage resulting from reliance on reminders, calculations or converted amounts. Our total liability arising from the Service is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us in the preceding 12 months and EUR 50.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury, fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law, and nothing affects your mandatory rights as a consumer.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may amend these Terms to reflect changes to the Service or the law. We will publish the new version on this page and, for material changes, give at least 14 days’ notice in the app. If you do not agree with a change, stop using the Service and delete your account before it takes effect. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.
17. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the law of Ukraine. Please contact us first so that we can try to resolve any dispute amicably. Disputes that cannot be resolved are subject to the courts of Ukraine. If you are a consumer, you keep the mandatory protections of the country where you live and may bring proceedings in its courts.
18. General provisions
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Service. If a provision is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer them to a successor who continues the Service, provided that your rights are not reduced. If language versions differ, the version in your language prevails to the extent required by consumer law, and otherwise the English version prevails.
