Terms of Use
Effective Date: 2025-01-10
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Car Connect application (the “App”), designed for in-car use and providing features such as navigation, Apple Music integration, weather information, and phone calling via numpad and contacts. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
Use of the App
The App is intended to enhance the driving experience by offering integrated navigation, media control, and communication tools. You agree to use the App only for lawful and appropriate purposes and in compliance with all applicable traffic and safety laws.
- Navigation features assist your driving but do not replace your responsibility to follow road signs, signals, and regulations.
- Apple Music integration is for audio control; you must not interact with it in a way that distracts you from driving.
- Weather information is provided for convenience and should not be your sole source for critical safety decisions.
- Numpad dialing and contact-based calling must be used safely and legally, respecting local rules on phone use while driving.
The developer reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the App at their sole discretion in cases of misuse, abuse, or suspected illegal activity.
Driving Safety
You are fully responsible for your safety and the safety of others. Do not operate the App in a manner that may distract you or reduce your ability to drive safely. When needed, interact with the App only while the vehicle is stationary or through legally compliant hands-free systems. The developer is not responsible for accidents, violations, or damages arising from unsafe or illegal use of the App.
Accuracy of Information and Services

- Maps, routing, and real-time or estimated traffic data,
- Apple Music or other integrated audio services,
- Weather forecasts and conditions,
- Contact information obtained from your device or connected accounts.
While reasonable efforts are made to provide relevant and current information, the developer does not guarantee completeness, accuracy, reliability, or availability. Routes, traffic data, weather, and synced information may be incomplete, delayed, incorrect, or unavailable. Always exercise independent judgment.
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for:
- Your use of the App and any decisions made based on its information or suggestions.
- Compliance with all applicable road, traffic, privacy, and communication laws.

The developer is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages resulting from your use or misuse of the App.
Third-Party Services and Integrations
The App may integrate with services such as Apple Music, mapping providers, and communication platforms. Your use of these services is subject to the separate terms and policies of those providers. The developer does not control and is not responsible for the content, performance, outages, or data handling of third-party services.

Access to Contacts and Calling Features
If you grant permission, the App may access your device contacts and telephony functions solely to:
- Display contacts for quick selection inside the dashboard interface.

- Incorrect or unavailable navigation, routing, or weather information;
- Any malfunction, delay, or error caused by third-party services or networks;
- Accidents, damages, or legal violations arising from use of the App while driving.
Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the App is to stop using it.
Changes to the Terms
These Terms may be updated from time to time. Updates become effective once made available within the App or related channels. Continued use of the App after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Data Updates and Corrections
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable laws. If you access the App through a vehicle OEM, corporate account, or third-party provider, certain requests may need to be directed to that provider.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, user information may be transferred to a successor entity, which will continue to protect the information in line with the then-applicable Privacy Policy.
