Summary
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and LawtonCorp ("LawtonCorp", "we", "us") about the Route Rebel iPhone app (the "App"). By installing, opening or using the App you agree to these Terms and to the Route Rebel Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. What the App is, and is not
Route Rebel records the drives you take and compares them against the routes and arrival estimates that mapping providers offered at the time you left. It counts things about those drives — stops, signals, turns, time — and shows you patterns in your own history.
The App is not a navigation, safety or driver-assistance product. It does not give driving instructions, does not warn you about hazards, and does not know the conditions of the road you are on. When the App hands a destination to Apple Maps, the directions you then follow are Apple's, under Apple's terms, not ours.
The "ghost race", the scoreboard and every "beat the plan" comparison are records of how long past drives took. They are not an invitation, a challenge or an encouragement to drive faster, to take risks, or to make up time. Nothing in the App should be read as advice on how to drive.
2. Your responsibilities as a driver
You alone are responsible for how you drive. By using the App you agree that you will:
- obey every applicable traffic law, speed limit, signal and sign, and the lawful instructions of any authority;
- never look at, touch, or interact with the App or your phone while the vehicle is moving, except through hands-free means that are lawful where you are, and never in a way that takes your attention from the road;
- set up the App, choose a destination and start a planned drive only while the vehicle is safely stopped;
- drive attentively and courteously, and never drive recklessly, aggressively, while impaired, or in a race against another vehicle, the App's comparisons, or anything else;
- use the App only where its use is lawful, and only in a vehicle you are licensed and permitted to drive.
You accept that driving carries inherent risk, that the App does nothing to reduce that risk, and that you use the App entirely at your own risk.
3. Accuracy of what the App shows
Everything the App shows is an estimate derived from consumer GPS, motion sensors, third-party map and routing data, and statistics over your own history. GPS drifts, sensors miss, map data is incomplete, and routing estimates change by the minute. Stop and signal counts come from OpenStreetMap, whose coverage varies. Turn counts are inferred from the shape of a route. Arrival estimates come from Apple and Google at the moment of your departure and are theirs, not ours.
We make no promise that anything the App records, counts, compares or concludes is accurate, complete, current or fit for any purpose. Do not rely on it for anything where an error could cause harm.
4. Third-party services
The App uses Apple Maps and MapKit, Google Maps and the Google Routes API, and OpenStreetMap data. Your use of those services through the App is subject to their owners' terms and policies, which we do not control. We are not responsible for their availability, accuracy or conduct.
5. Your data
The Privacy Policy explains what the App records and where it lives. In short: on your device and, if you enable it, in your private iCloud database. We have no access to it and no copy of it. You are responsible for backing up your data and for any use you make of it.
6. Subscriptions
Route Rebel Pro is an auto-renewing subscription billed through your Apple ID. The price, the billing period and any free trial are shown in the App before you subscribe. A free trial converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you manage and cancel them in your Apple ID settings, not in the App. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies. Recording is never a paid feature; what Pro adds is listed in the App.
7. Licence and restrictions
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store's usage rules. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, reverse engineer or decompile the App, or use it to build a competing product, except where the law expressly allows it.
8. No warranty
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAWTONCORP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAWTONCORP AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF LIFE, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, TRAFFIC OR CRIMINAL PENALTY, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP OR YOUR DRIVING, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAWTONCORP'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND TEN US DOLLARS (US$10).
Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these exclusions or limits. In those places, they apply only to the extent the law permits.
10. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless LawtonCorp and its owners, officers, employees and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, fine or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your driving, your violation of any law or of these Terms, or your use or misuse of the App.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your access to the App if you breach these Terms. Sections 3 and 8 to 14 survive termination.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms. The effective date at the top will change and the App will ask you to accept the new Terms before you continue to use it. Continued use after that acceptance means you agree to the updated Terms.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before bringing a claim, you agree to contact us at the address below and try to resolve it informally for 30 days. Any claim that cannot be resolved that way will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Denver, Colorado, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except that either party may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court. (Confirm the state and venue with your lawyer; change both if LawtonCorp is organised elsewhere.)
14. Apple
These Terms are between you and LawtonCorp only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or any third party relating to the App, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, or claims under consumer-protection or similar law. If a third party claims the App infringes its intellectual-property rights, LawtonCorp, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
15. General
If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the App.
