By downloading or using the CarCoding application ("Application"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not accept these Terms, do not use the application.

These Terms apply together with our Privacy Policy: https://carcoding.app/privacy.html

2Application Scope

CarCoding is an application for iOS, Android, and Windows that reads vehicle diagnostic data using ELM327-based OBD2 adapters, interprets DTC fault codes, and provides AI-powered mechanical recommendations.

Important: The application is for informational purposes only. The diagnostic data and AI suggestions provided do not replace inspection by a licensed vehicle technician. For critical vehicle decisions, consult a professional mechanic or authorized service center.

3License & Usage Rights

CarCoding grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license under the following terms:

  • You may run the app on your iOS, Android, or Windows device for personal, non-commercial purposes.
  • You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or distribute the application.
  • You may not rent or sell the application to third parties.
  • You may not use our source code, visual assets, or content without permission.

4Membership & Purchases

Certain features (AI Mechanic, ECU Coding, DTC Clearing, etc.) require a CarCoding Pro subscription.

Current prices, plan options and any trial period are shown on the in-app purchase screen and on the App Store / Google Play. The amount varies by your country and currency.

Plans purchased in an earlier period remain valid even if they are no longer offered for sale.

  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at the time of purchase confirmation.
  • Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each period unless canceled at least 24 hours before.
  • If you have a free trial, billing begins unless you cancel at least 24 hours before trial expiration.
  • Cancel your subscription via App Store → Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
  • Unused trial periods expire when you purchase a paid subscription.
Restore Purchase: You can restore a Pro membership previously purchased with your Apple ID via the "Restore Purchase" button.
Consumption data consent: When you open a refund request, you consent to consumption data summarising your level of app usage being shared with Apple (or with Google if the purchase was made through Google Play) so that the request can be assessed.

5User Obligations

By using the application, you agree to:

  • Use the application only on vehicles you own or have permission to use.
  • Not actively operate the application while driving; it may distract you.
  • Not use the application for any illegal purpose.
  • Not attempt to compromise the application's security, integrity, or performance.
  • Accept that AI Mechanic answers are not guaranteed accurate or definitive.

6Disclaimer

The application is provided "as is". No warranties are provided, express or implied. Specifically:

  • OBD2 readings are not guaranteed to always be accurate or complete.
  • AI Mechanic advice is not guaranteed to solve your vehicle problem.
  • The application is not guaranteed to run without interruption or errors.
  • Third-party OBD2 adapter compatibility is not guaranteed.
Liability Limit: CarCoding is not liable for any indirect, special, or consequential damages arising from vehicle tampering or application use. Maximum liability is limited to subscription fees paid in the last 12 months.

8Third-Party Links

The application or website may contain links to third-party services or websites. We have no control over third-party privacy practices or content and accept no responsibility.

9Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Significant changes will be announced via in-app notification or page update. Continued use of the application after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

10Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey. Istanbul courts and enforcement offices have jurisdiction over any disputes.

Apple's App Store rules and EULA apply together with these Terms; if there's a conflict, Apple's EULA takes precedence.
