These terms govern your use of the AutoPool mobile app for iOS and Android (the “App”), provided by Martin Huszti (Sealion), an independent developer (“I”, “me”). By downloading or using the App you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. The App
AutoPool is a logbook for cars you use alone or share with others. You can record trips and refuels, and the App estimates how fuel costs could be split between the people who used the car. It is intended for personal use. It is not an accounting, tax, fleet-management or official mileage-logging tool.
All figures, including distances, costs and cost splits, are calculated from the information entered by you and other members, and may be incomplete or inaccurate. The App may contain errors. Please check important figures yourself and do not rely on the App for tax, legal, financial or other important decisions.
The App does not transfer money between users. Marking fuel as “paid” only records what you agreed; any payment between users happens outside the App.
2. Accounts
You can use the App’s logbook without an account. Cloud features require an account, which you can create with email and password, Google Sign-In, or Sign in with Apple (iOS only). You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity under your account. Please give accurate information when registering.
3. AutoPool Cloud Sync
AutoPool Cloud Sync is a paid feature that lets the owner of a car back it up to the cloud and share it with other people.
- Cloud Sync is bought in the App through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The price, the type of purchase (for example a one-time purchase or a subscription) and its duration are shown before you buy.
- Payment, billing, renewals, cancellations and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms. Subscriptions can be cancelled in your App Store or Google Play account settings.
- A purchase covers the cars you own. People who join your shared car need a free account but do not need their own purchase.
- If your Cloud Sync access ends, your cars stop syncing and members can no longer add or change entries in them. Your data is not deleted: it stays on your devices, and members can still view the existing cloud copy. Syncing resumes when access is restored.
- If you are a consumer in the EU, you agree when buying that the digital service is provided immediately, and you acknowledge that your right of withdrawal ends once it has started, as far as the law allows. Refunds remain available under Apple’s and Google’s refund policies.
4. Shared cars
A car owner can invite others with a join code. All members of a shared car can see the car’s logbook and add or edit entries, including entries created by other members. The owner can remove members and change or disable the join code.
- Only share a join code with people you want to give access to the car.
- You are responsible for the content you enter, including the names of other people. Only enter information you are allowed to share with the members of the car.
- Disagreements between members about trips, costs or payments are a matter between the members.
The Privacy policy explains what data is shared and how.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the App for unlawful purposes or to harass or harm others.
- Access or attempt to access other users’ data or cars without permission.
- Interfere with, overload or attempt to bypass the security of the App or its servers.
- Copy, modify or reverse engineer the App, except where the law allows it.
I may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, in particular to protect other users or the service.
6. Your data
Data you keep only on your device stays there and is your responsibility, including any backups. Cloud data is processed as described in the Privacy policy. You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. Cars stored on your device remain there after you delete your account.
7. Availability and changes
I aim to keep the App and cloud service running reliably, but I cannot guarantee that they will always be available or free of errors. I may change, add or remove features. If a paid feature is discontinued, I will give reasonable notice where possible, and your rights under applicable consumer law remain unaffected.
8. Intellectual property
The App, its design and content are owned by Martin Huszti (Sealion). Open-source components are used under their own licences, listed in the App under Settings → Open-source licenses. You keep all rights to the content you enter. You allow me to store, process and share it with the members of your cars only as needed to provide the App’s features.
9. Liability
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, I am not liable for indirect or consequential damages, loss of data or profits, or damages resulting from inaccurate figures or errors in the App.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, or any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
10. Ending use
You may stop using the App at any time and delete your account in Settings. I may discontinue the App or the cloud service, giving notice where required by law.
11. App Store and Google Play
These terms are between you and me, not Apple or Google. Apple and Google are not responsible for the App or its content, and have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. If you downloaded the App from the App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the App must also comply with the terms of the store you downloaded it from.
12. Changes to these terms
I may update these terms when the App or the law changes, and will change the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes will be announced in advance where required by law. If you continue to use the App after a change takes effect, the updated terms apply.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of the place where you live.
