Terms of Service
This Terms of Service ("Agreement") is a binding legal contract between you ("User," "you") and Bellz Development LLC, a limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). This Agreement governs your access to and use of our mobile application, Vehicle Buddy AI (the "Application"), and all related services, features, and content, including all AI-generated content (collectively, the "Service").
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading the Application, and by tapping an "Accept & Continue" button when presented with this Agreement during registration, you (1) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety; (2) affirm that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) and have the legal capacity to enter into this contract; and (3) accept and agree to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference herein.
If you do not agree to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are not authorized to access or use the Service, and you must immediately delete the Application from your device.
2. The Subscription Service (Compliance with ROSCA & CA ARL)
2.1. Service Description The Service provides AI-generated summaries of automotive manuals, AI-generated vehicle maintenance schedules, and tools for tracking your vehicle's service history, for informational and educational purposes only, subject to the disclaimers in Section 5.
2.2. Subscription Tiers & Billing We may offer various subscription plans, including but not limited to a monthly plan ("Monthly Subscription"), an annual plan ("Annual Subscription"), and a free trial ("Trial"). You authorize us and our third-party payment processors (e.g., Apple, Google) to charge your designated payment method (e.g., credit card, app store account) on a recurring basis for the subscription fee ("Fee") applicable to your chosen plan, plus any applicable taxes. Your billing cycle will be either monthly or annual, as selected by you at the time of purchase. Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are billed by Apple or Google, not by the Company, and are governed by that store's terms in addition to this Agreement. All Fees are non-refundable, except as explicitly required by law or as provided in Section 2.7.
2.3. Automatic Renewal Terms YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF YOUR CHOSEN SUBSCRIPTION TERM (E.G., MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY) FOR AN IDENTICAL RENEWAL TERM AT THE THEN-CURRENT PRICE.
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AT PURCHASE, YOU PROVIDE YOUR EXPRESS, AFFIRMATIVE CONSENT TO THIS AUTOMATIC RENEWAL FEATURE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED RECURRINGLY WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU.
2.4. Cancellation Procedures (Click-to-Cancel) You may cancel your subscription at any time. To avoid being charged for the next subscription period, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before your renewal date.
How to Cancel: You must manage and cancel your subscription directly through the subscription settings of the third-party platform (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) from which you originally purchased the subscription. Deleting the Application from your device will not cancel your subscription.
In compliance with applicable law, we also provide a simple, in-app cancellation method. You may navigate to the 'Account' or 'Settings' menu within the Application and click the 'Manage Subscription' button, which will provide a direct link to your platform's subscription management page where you can terminate the Service.
2.5. Price Changes We reserve the right to change our subscription Fees. We will provide you with clear and conspicuous advance notice of any price change (e.g., via in-app notification or email), together with information on how to cancel, no fewer than 7 and no more than 30 days before the change takes effect, or within such other period as applicable law requires. For subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play, Apple or Google will also notify you of a price increase and, where required, will ask for your consent before the new price applies. If you do not agree to the new price, your sole remedy is to cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect.
2.6. Post-Purchase Acknowledgment Following your subscription purchase, you will receive an acknowledgment (e.g., via email or in-app receipt) that includes the automatic renewal terms, the Fee, the billing cycle, and clear information on how to cancel. For purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play, Apple or Google sends this acknowledgment and your receipts. Where applicable law requires it, you will also receive, at least once a year, a reminder of the Service you are subscribed to, the amount and frequency of the charge, and how to cancel. Please retain these notices for your records.
2.7. Refunds and Billing Disputes Because Apple and Google bill you for purchases made through their stores, the Company does not hold your payment details, cannot see your store transaction, and cannot process a refund of an App Store purchase. Accordingly: (a) Apple App Store purchases: all refund requests must be submitted to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com or through Apple Support. Apple decides refund requests under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which state that all transactions are final and that any refund is at Apple's discretion. The Company cannot issue, and is not responsible for, refunds of App Store purchases. (b) Google Play purchases: within 48 hours of a purchase, request a refund from Google through Google Play. After 48 hours, contact us at support@vehiclebuddyai.com; we will review your request under this Agreement and applicable law and may, at our discretion, issue a refund through Google Play. (c) Except where applicable law requires otherwise, no refund is given for partial subscription periods, for periods you did not use, or for a renewal you did not cancel at least 24 hours before it occurred. (d) If a purchase is refunded, whether by the Company, Apple, or Google, your access to the paid features of the Service ends. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a refund of the price paid, as determined by the store that billed you, is your sole remedy for the price of that purchase, and the Company is not liable for refund decisions made by Apple or Google.
3. User Uploaded Content
3.1. Document Upload Service The Service allows you to upload vehicle owner's manuals in PDF format ("User Documents") for AI-powered analysis. By uploading User Documents, you agree to the terms in this Section 3.
3.2. Personal Use Only User Documents are uploaded for your personal, non-commercial use within the Application only. You may not use the Service to redistribute, resell, publicly display, or share copyrighted vehicle manuals with third parties. Each User Document is associated exclusively with your account and is not accessible to other users.
3.3. Content Restrictions You may only upload: (a) official vehicle owner's manuals in PDF format; (b) documents under 32MB in size and 2,000 pages in length; and (c) documents for vehicles you own or have a legitimate interest in. Uploading malicious files (including files with embedded scripts, executables, or malware), non-automotive content, or pirated/illegally obtained materials is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account termination without refund.
3.4. Content Accuracy Responsibility You are solely responsible for ensuring that uploaded documents match your actual vehicle (year, make, model, trim). The Company is not responsible for incorrect, incomplete, or misleading AI responses resulting from mismatched or incorrect User Documents.
3.5. Data Storage and Processing User Documents are: (a) stored securely using industry-standard AES-256 encryption; (b) processed automatically by AI systems without human review to generate vector embeddings for search functionality; (c) stored in a private, isolated namespace associated only with your account; and (d) never shared with, sold to, or accessible by other users or third parties except as required by law.
3.6. Document Quotas Your subscription tier determines the number of User Documents you may store: (a) Trial users may upload up to 3 documents; (b) Paid subscribers may upload up to 50 documents; (c) Additional document slots may be purchased via in-app "Boost Pack" purchases. Document limits apply to active (non-deleted) documents only.
3.7. Document Deletion and Data Retention You may delete User Documents at any time through the Application. Upon deletion, all associated data including the original document, vector embeddings, and metadata will be permanently removed from our systems within 90 days. For subscription cancellations, documents will be retained for 90 days to allow for re-subscription before permanent deletion.
3.8. Security Scanning All uploaded documents are automatically scanned for malicious content, including embedded JavaScript, executable code, and other security threats. Documents that fail security scanning will be rejected and not processed. Repeated attempts to upload malicious content may result in account termination.
3.9. Maintenance and Service Records The Service allows you to record vehicle maintenance information, including completed service items, service dates, odometer readings, and notes ("Maintenance Records"). Maintenance Records are stored on our servers, associated only with your account, so they can be synchronized and restored across app installations. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the Maintenance Records you enter. Maintenance Records are informal personal notes only — they are NOT official service documentation and may not be sufficient to establish maintenance history for warranty claims, insurance purposes, or vehicle resale. Retain official receipts and records from your service providers. Maintenance Records are deleted in accordance with Section 3.7 upon account deletion.
4. License to Use the Service
4.1. Limited License Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to download, install, and use the Application on mobile devices that you own or control, as permitted by the usage rules of the app store from which you obtained the Application, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
4.2. License Restrictions This license does not grant you any right to, and you shall not: (a) modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Application; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Application; (c) rent, lease, or sublicense the Application; or (d) use the Application for any purpose other than its intended purpose.
5. AI-Generated Content: Disclaimers and User Acknowledgments
5.1. For Informational Purposes Only YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTENT, SUMMARIES, AND INFORMATION GENERATED BY THE SERVICE'S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ("AI CONTENT") IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
5.2. Not Professional Advice YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE AI CONTENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND (MEDICAL, LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR OTHERWISE). SPECIFICALLY, AI CONTENT IS NOT CERTIFIED, APPROVED, OR ADEQUATE PROFESSIONAL AUTOMOTIVE, ENGINEERING, OR SAFETY ADVICE. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE OFFICIAL MANUFACTURER'S MANUAL OR THE ADVICE OF A QUALIFIED, CERTIFIED MECHANIC.
5.3. Disclaimer of Accuracy and Reliability THE SERVICE USES EXPERIMENTAL GENERATIVE AI. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT AI CONTENT MAY BE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, OFFENSIVE, MISLEADING, FABRICATED ("HALLUCINATIONS"), OR CONTAIN SERIOUS ERRORS AND OMISSIONS. THE COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, OR SUITABILITY OF ANY AI CONTENT.
5.4. WARNING: PROHIBITION ON RELIANCE FOR CRITICAL DECISIONS YOU EXPLICITLY AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON ANY AI CONTENT FOR ANY DECISION, ACTION, OR OMISSION THAT COULD IMPACT PERSONAL SAFETY, VEHICLE OPERATION, VEHICLE MAINTENANCE, VEHICLE REPAIR, OR RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. ANY SUCH RELIANCE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.
5.5. Your Sole Assumption of Risk YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON ANY AI CONTENT IS SOLELY AND ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGES, WHETHER TO YOU OR TO THIRD PARTIES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE AI CONTENT. THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR RELIANCE ON AUTOMATED INFORMATION.
5.6. AI-Generated Maintenance Schedules Maintenance schedules provided by the Service are AI CONTENT generated from a combination of manufacturer documentation, dealership recommendations, and community sources. THEY ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL MANUFACTURER-RECOMMENDED SERVICE SCHEDULE FOR YOUR SPECIFIC VEHICLE, TRIM, ENGINE, OR DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND MAY OMIT REQUIRED SERVICE ITEMS OR STATE INCORRECT SERVICE INTERVALS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (a) you will verify all maintenance items and intervals against your official owner's manual and/or a qualified, certified technician before performing or scheduling any service; (b) following a schedule generated by the Service does NOT guarantee compliance with your manufacturer's maintenance requirements and may not preserve your vehicle warranty coverage; and (c) the Company is not responsible for any vehicle damage, warranty denial, safety incident, or other loss arising from maintenance performed, deferred, or omitted in reliance on AI-generated schedules or in-app service reminders.
6. Limitation of Liability & Disclaimer of Warranties
6.1. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS LICENSORS (INCLUDING AI MODEL PROVIDERS) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ACCURATE, OR ERROR-FREE.
6.2. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE OR YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY AI CONTENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
6.3. LIABILITY CAP TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).
6.4. Jurisdictional Exceptions Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, or for personal injury, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
7. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
You agree not to use the Service for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this Agreement. You shall not, and shall not attempt to: (a) Use the Service in any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law; (b) Bypass, disable, or circumvent any safety filters, content moderation systems, or protective measures; (c) Generate, transmit, or store content that is illegal, harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, harassing, defamatory, or relates to child sexual abuse, violent extremism, or self-harm; (d) Use the Service to violate, infringe, or misappropriate the privacy, copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any third party. This includes, but is not limited to, using the Service to reproduce, create derivative works from, or publicly display copyrighted materials (such as vehicle manuals) in a manner that constitutes infringement; (e) Use the Service, its outputs, or any AI Content to develop, train, or improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning model that competes with or supplants our Service; (f) Misrepresent that AI Content was generated solely by a human.
8. Intellectual Property Rights
8.1. Company's Intellectual Property You acknowledge that the Company and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, the Application, and all underlying software, algorithms, code, data models, and technology (the "Platform Technology"). This Agreement grants you no rights to our Platform Technology other than the limited license in Section 4.
8.2. Your User Input You retain any ownership rights you have in the prompts or other content you provide to the Service ("User Input"). You hereby grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use, process, transmit, and store your User Input solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you and enforcing this Agreement. We will not use your User Input to train or improve our AI models without your separate, explicit, opt-in consent.
8.3. Ownership of AI Outputs As between you and the Company, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby assigns to you all of its right, title, and interest (if any) in and to the specific AI Content generated by the Service for you in response to your User Input ("AI Output"). You acknowledge that under current U.S. law, content generated solely by AI without sufficient human authorship may not be eligible for copyright protection.
8.4. Conditional Assignment This assignment in Section 8.3 is expressly conditional on your full and ongoing compliance with this Agreement, including the Acceptable Use Policy (Section 7). If you breach this Agreement, your license to use the AI Output and the assignment of rights in Section 8.3 shall automatically and immediately terminate.
9. User Representations and Warranties
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement; (b) all information you provide is accurate; (c) your User Input and your use of the Service will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party; and (d) you will comply at all times with our Acceptable Use Policy and all applicable laws.
10. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your violation of this Agreement, including any breach of your representations and warranties; (c) your User Input, including any claim that your User Input infringes on a third party's rights; or (d) your reliance on any AI Content, which results in harm to you or any third party.
11. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
11.1. Mandatory Arbitration You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Service, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (collectively, "Disputes") shall be settled by binding individual arbitration, not in a court of law. This includes all Disputes, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules.
11.2. Exceptions to Arbitration As exceptions, both parties retain the right to: (a) bring an individual action in a small claims court; and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
11.3. CLASS ACTION WAIVER TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION PROCEEDING (THE "CLASS AND MASS ACTION WAIVER"). Further, unless both you and the Company otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
11.4. 30-Day Opt-Out Right You have the right to opt-out of this arbitration provision. If you do not wish to be bound by this arbitration provision (including the Class Action Waiver), you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date you first accept this Agreement by sending an email to support@vehiclebuddyai.com. Your notice must include your name and a clear statement of your intent to opt out of binding arbitration.
12. Modification and Termination
12.1. Modification of Agreement We reserve the right to modify this Agreement at any time. We will provide notice of material changes (e.g., via in-app notification or by updating the "Last Updated" date). Your continued use of the Service after such notice constitutes your acceptance of the modified Agreement. It is your responsibility to review this Agreement periodically.
12.2. Termination We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service at our sole discretion, without prior notice, for any reason, including for any breach of this Agreement. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by canceling your subscription (as described in Section 2.4) and deleting the Application from your device.
12.3. Survival All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including, without limitation, ownership provisions (Section 8), disclaimers and warnings (Section 5), limitations of liability (Section 6), indemnification (Section 10), and dispute resolution (Section 11).
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement and any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio and the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions in Section 11, any legal action or proceeding (if arbitration is waived or in small claims) shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Ohio, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
14. General Provisions
14.1. Entire Agreement This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersedes all prior agreements.
14.2. Severability If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
14.3. No Waiver The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
14.4. Relationship with Apple and Google You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is between you and the Company only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple") or Google LLC ("Google"), and that the Company, not Apple or Google, is solely responsible for the Application and its content. This Agreement does not grant usage rules that are less restrictive than, or in conflict with, the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or the Google Play Terms of Service, and you agree to comply with those terms and with any other applicable third-party terms (for example, your wireless data service agreement) when using the Application.
14.5. Maintenance and Support The Company is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the Application, as specified in this Agreement or as required by applicable law. Apple and Google have no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support for the Application. Support is available by email at support@vehiclebuddyai.com.
14.6. Warranty To the extent any warranty is not disclaimed under Section 6, the Company is solely responsible for it. If the Application fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund to you the purchase price, if any, that you paid to Apple for the Application. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Application, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are the Company's sole responsibility.
14.7. Product Claims The Company, not Apple or Google, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Application or your possession or use of it, including (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the Application fails to conform to an applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
14.8. Intellectual Property Claims If a third party claims that the Application, or your possession and use of it, infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Company, not Apple or Google, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim, subject to Section 6.
14.9. Legal Compliance You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
14.10. Developer Contact The Application is published by Bellz Development LLC, 2775 Orchard Run Rd, PMB 153, Dayton, OH 45449. Email: support@vehiclebuddyai.com. Telephone: (614) 285-5104. Direct any questions, complaints, or claims about the Application to us at these addresses.
14.11. Third-Party Beneficiary Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary. Google is not a party to this Agreement and has no liability under it.
15. Purchases Made on Our Website
15.1. Scope. This Section applies only to subscriptions you purchase on our website, vehiclebuddyai.com ("Web Subscriptions"). Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play remain governed by Section 2 and by the terms of that store. Where this Section conflicts with Section 2 for a Web Subscription, this Section controls.
15.2. Who Sells to You. Web Subscriptions are sold through Link, a service of Stripe, which acts as the reseller and merchant of record for your purchase. Link processes your payment, calculates and collects any applicable sales tax or VAT, and sends your receipts, invoices, and refund notices. Your purchase is also subject to Link's own terms, which you accept at checkout. Your card or bank statement will show the charge as LINK.COM* BELLZ DEVELOPMENT, and your receipt will say it was Sold through Link. Nothing in this Section limits any right you have under Link's terms or under applicable consumer protection law.
15.3. Your Account. Before checkout you must sign in with the Apple or Google account you will use in the Application. Your Web Subscription is attached to that account. To use it, install the Application and sign in with the same account. We cannot move a Web Subscription to a different account.
15.4. Price, Taxes, and Currency. The price, billing cycle (monthly or annual), and any applicable taxes are shown on the checkout page before you pay. Taxes are calculated from your location and may be added to the price or included in it, depending on where you live.
15.5. Automatic Renewal. YOUR WEB SUBSCRIPTION RENEWS AUTOMATICALLY AT THE END OF EACH BILLING PERIOD (MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY, AS YOU CHOSE) AT THE THEN-CURRENT PRICE, AND YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED EACH PERIOD UNTIL YOU CANCEL. By completing checkout, you give your express, affirmative consent to these recurring charges. After purchase you will receive an acknowledgment, in a form you can keep, that states the renewal terms, the price, the billing cycle, the cancellation policy, and how to cancel. For annual subscriptions, we or Link will send a reminder before each renewal where the law requires one. Price changes are handled as in Section 2.5.
15.6. How to Cancel. You can cancel online at any time, without contacting us, in any of these ways: (a) through the "Manage or cancel a web subscription" link at the foot of every page on vehiclebuddyai.com, by signing in with the same Apple or Google account you used to subscribe; (b) through Link at link.com, using the email address from your purchase; (c) through the "manage subscription" link in any receipt or billing email for your Web Subscription; or (d) by emailing support@vehiclebuddyai.com, in which case we will cancel it for you.
Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. After you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Deleting the Application from your device, or cancelling a store subscription, does not cancel a Web Subscription. Deleting your account from within the Application does: it cancels your Web Subscription immediately, without a refund for the remainder of the period, and you will not be charged again. Cancelling through the Application's store-subscription settings also does not cancel it, because those settings manage only store purchases.
15.7. Refunds. (a) First purchase. If you are not satisfied with your first Web Subscription payment, email support@vehiclebuddyai.com within 14 days of that payment and we will arrange a full refund. (b) Renewals. Renewal payments are not refundable, except where required by law. (c) Refunds by Link. Link may issue refunds under its own refund policy (published at support.link.com), which lets you ask Link for a refund within 60 days of a payment, and under consumer protection laws that apply to you, including any statutory right of withdrawal. Link's policy does not cover a change of mind or a renewal you did not cancel before it was billed. Those refunds may happen without our involvement, and Link's decision on a request made to Link is Link's, not ours. (d) Effect of a refund. When a payment is refunded, for any reason, access paid for by that payment ends.
15.8. Payment Disputes. If you have a problem with a charge, please contact support@vehiclebuddyai.com before disputing it with your bank; most problems can be fixed faster that way. If you dispute a charge you authorized, and the dispute is not resolved in your favor, we may suspend or terminate your access. Filing a dispute you know to be false is a breach of this Agreement.
15.9. Referral Links and Creator Codes. You may arrive at our website through a link shared by an independent creator, or enter a creator's promotion code at checkout. If you then subscribe, that creator may earn a commission from us, and you receive the introductory discount shown on the checkout page, which applies to your first invoice only; renewals are at the then-current full price. The commission is paid by us and is not added to your price. We never share your name, email address, or payment details with the creator. Creators are not our employees or agents, and their opinions are their own; any claim a creator makes about the Service that goes beyond what our website says is not made on our behalf.
15.10. Difference from the In-App Terms. The Terms of Service shown inside the Application do not include this Section. That difference is intentional. It reflects the rules of the Apple App Store and Google Play, not a difference in your rights. For a Web Subscription, this Section applies wherever you read these Terms.
15.11. Duplicate Subscriptions. A Web Subscription and a store subscription on the same account are separate purchases, billed separately. If you have both, cancel the one you don't want, using the method that applies to it. We are not responsible for charges from a duplicate subscription you did not cancel, but contact us and we will help.
