Terms of Service

Welcome to CarScene. These terms are an agreement between you and CarScene ("we", "us") for using carscene.co and the CarScene apps for iPhone and Android (together, "CarScene"). By creating an account or using CarScene you agree to them, to our Privacy Policy and to our Community Guidelines.

Who can use CarScene

You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to them for you. You can't use CarScene if we've suspended you before or the law doesn't allow it.

Your account

• Give accurate information and keep your sign-in details to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
• One person per account. Don't pretend to be someone else or a brand you don't represent.
• Tell us at hello@carscene.co if you think someone else got into your account.
• You can download your data or permanently delete your account at any time in Settings.

Your content

You own the photos, videos, posts, comments, messages and other things you share ("your content"). To run CarScene we need a license to it: you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, resize, display and distribute your content for operating, improving and promoting CarScene, in line with your settings. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content others have already shared in messages or that we must keep by law.

Only share content you have the right to share. Don't post other people's photos or builds as your own.

We may remove content or limit accounts that break these terms or the Community Guidelines. We review reports but we don't pre-screen everything, and we aren't responsible for what other people post.

What's not allowed

Follow the Community Guidelines. In particular, don't use CarScene to break the law, organize street racing, takeovers or other dangerous driving on public roads, harass people, spam, scam, scrape the service, get around a block or suspension, or interfere with how CarScene works.

Events and tickets

• Events are organized by the people who post them, not by CarScene. Organizers are responsible for their events: accurate details, permits, insurance, safety, refunds and following the law.
• When you buy a ticket or register a car, you're buying from the organizer. Payments are processed by Stripe on the organizer's behalf. Refunds are up to the organizer's policy unless the law says otherwise.
• Organizers who sell tickets agree to Stripe's terms, pay CarScene's ticket fee shown on our pricing page, and get attendee information only to run their event.
• Going to an event and driving there is at your own risk. Drive legally and safely.

Memberships and boosts

• Plus and Pro are subscriptions. Bought in the iPhone or Android app, they're billed by Apple or Google under their terms, and you manage or cancel them in your phone's subscription settings. Bought on carscene.co, they're billed by Stripe and you manage them in Settings.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep your perks until the end of the period you paid for.
• Boosts promote an event to people on CarScene. They're one-time purchases, and delivery is limited so people aren't flooded with promotions. Boosted events are labeled.
• Prices and features can change. We'll tell you before a change affects a subscription you already have.
• Refunds for App Store and Google Play purchases are handled by Apple and Google.

CarScene's rights

CarScene's name, logo, software and design belong to us. You may use CarScene for its intended purpose; you may not copy, modify, reverse engineer or resell it.

Copyright complaints

If you think something on CarScene infringes your copyright, email hello@carscene.co with the work, where it appears on CarScene, your contact details and a statement that you're the owner (or authorized to act for them) and believe in good faith the use isn't allowed. We remove infringing content and close the accounts of repeat infringers.

Suspension and ending

You can stop using CarScene and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put others at risk, and we may change or stop parts of CarScene. If we close your account for reasons other than a violation, we'll give you notice where we can so you can download your data.

Disclaimers

CarScene is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we don't promise it will always be available, error-free or secure, and we aren't responsible for events, sales or meetups between people who found each other here.

Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, CarScene isn't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $100. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Your responsibility to us

If someone brings a claim against us because of your content, your event or your breaking these terms, you'll cover our reasonable costs, to the extent the law allows.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Pennsylvania, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the state or federal courts located in York County, Pennsylvania, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring them locally.

App Store terms

If you got CarScene from Apple's App Store: these terms are between you and CarScene, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the app, its support or maintenance, or claims about it (including product liability, legal compliance and intellectual property claims). If the app fails to meet a warranty, you can tell Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; that's Apple's only warranty obligation. You confirm you aren't in a country under a U.S. embargo or on a U.S. government restricted-party list. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is significant we'll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Using CarScene after that means you accept the new terms.
