SpotCars Terms of Use

These Terms are an agreement between you and SpotCars.app for the SpotCars app and spotcars.app (the "Service"). By creating an account, playing as a guest or using the Service, you accept these Terms, the Community Rules below and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use SpotCars.

1. Who can play

You must be at least 13 years old. In the EEA and UK you must be at least 16, or have permission from a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you.

2. Your account

• You can sign in with Apple or Google, or play as a guest. A guest Garage is linked to this device only: if you delete the app or lose the device before signing in, it may be lost.
• One account per person. Keep your Apple or Google account secure; you are responsible for activity on your account.
• Usernames must follow the Community Rules. We may change or remove a username that breaks them.
• You can delete your account at any time in Settings > Delete account.

3. The game

• SpotCars identifies cars with our AI system. Identifications, specs, prices, values and rarities are estimates for entertainment. They can be wrong and are not appraisals, offers or financial advice.
• Cards, XP, ranks, Garage value, sets, achievements and other in-game items are virtual. They have no cash value, cannot be sold, traded or transferred outside the Service, and we may adjust them (for example to fix a wrong identification or to undo cheating).
• Free accounts have a daily scan limit shown in the app. Premium scans are subject to fair use (currently 100 scans a day).

4. Spot safely and legally

Never use SpotCars while driving or riding. Respect traffic rules, private property and the people around you. Do not trespass or follow, harass or block drivers to get a photo. You are responsible for following the laws where you take photos.

5. Community Rules (zero tolerance)

SpotCars has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You must not post, upload, send or use as a username or profile picture anything that:

• is sexual or pornographic, violent, gory or shocking;
• is hateful, discriminatory, harassing, bullying or threatening toward any person or group;
• shows or promotes illegal activity, dangerous driving, street racing on public roads, weapons, drugs or self-harm;
• exploits or endangers minors in any way;
• shares someone's private information (for example their home, face in a close-up meant to identify them, or a number plate used to target the owner);
• is spam, advertising, scams or links to other services;
• is not a photo you took or have the right to use, or infringes anyone's copyright, trademark or privacy;
• impersonates another person, SpotCars or its staff.

Report and block: every public photo and profile has a Report option, and you can block any player. A blocked player's content is hidden from you and they can no longer interact with you.

Moderation: we review reports within 24 hours. We remove content that breaks these rules and we suspend or permanently remove users who post it or who abuse other players, without notice. We may also review content proactively and remove anything we find objectionable.

6. Fair play

Do not cheat or manipulate the game: no photos of screens, prints or other people's photos passed off as your own spots, no fake locations, no modified apps, bots, scripts, automated scans, scraping or attempts to copy our car database, no multiple accounts to get around limits or bans, and no interference with the Service or its security. We may remove cards, XP or rewards gained by cheating and suspend or remove the account.

7. Your content

You keep ownership of the photos and other content you create. You give SpotCars a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, process, copy, crop, display and distribute that content as needed to run, promote and improve the Service (for example to identify the car, show your cards on your profile, leaderboards and Discover, and moderate content). This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies other players already shared, backups kept for a limited time, and content we must keep for legal reasons. You confirm you have the rights to the content you upload and that it follows these Terms.

8. SpotCars Premium (subscriptions)

• Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, sold monthly or yearly. The price in your currency is shown in the app before you buy.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of a free trial if one is offered.
• The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• Free trial: if a trial is offered and you do not cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, it converts to a paid subscription. Any unused part of a trial is lost when you buy a subscription.
• Cancel or manage your subscription at any time in your iPhone's Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions, or in the App Store. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Premium stays active until the end of the period already paid. Deleting the app or your SpotCars account does not cancel the subscription.
• Restore purchases: if you reinstall the app or use a new device with the same Apple ID, tap Restore on the Premium screen or in Settings.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies (reportaproblem.apple.com). If we change the price, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent.
• Premium features may change over time; we will not remove the core benefits of a paid period while it runs.

9. Our rights

SpotCars, its app, card designs, artwork, car database, logos and software belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, under these Terms and the App Store rules. Car makers' names and models are used only to describe the cars; SpotCars is not affiliated with or endorsed by any car maker.

10. Suspension and termination

You can stop using SpotCars and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access, or remove content, if you break these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect players or the Service. We may change, pause or end features or the Service; if we close the Service we will give reasonable notice in the app.

11. Disclaimers and liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent allowed by law, we do not promise it will be error-free, uninterrupted or that identifications and values are accurate. To the extent allowed by law, SpotCars is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for loss of virtual items, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or USD 50 if you paid nothing). Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your mandatory rights as a consumer, including in the EU and UK.

12. Apple App Store

These Terms are between you and SpotCars, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and is not responsible for any claims about the app (product liability, legal compliance, consumer protection or intellectual property). If the app fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, which may refund the purchase price; Apple has no other warranty obligation. You confirm you are not in a country under a US government embargo and are not on a US list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Morocco. If you are a consumer in the EU, UK or elsewhere, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live and may bring claims in your local courts. Before any claim, please contact us so we can try to solve it.

14. Changes and contact

We may update these Terms. If the changes are important we will tell you in the app before they take effect; if you keep using SpotCars after that, the new Terms apply. Questions or reports: contact@spotcars.app.
