DRIVENOTE

Terms of Service.

Effective: May 3, 2026

Important. DriveNote is a mileage tracking and record-keeping tool. It is not tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice. Mileage rates, deduction estimates, and report formats are provided for informational purposes only based on publicly available government data. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your records and any tax, reimbursement, or expense decisions. Consult a qualified tax professional before relying on data from this app for tax or business filings.

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the DriveNote mobile application ("DriveNote", "the app"), provided by Codeensis Ltd. ("we", "our", "us"), Arch. Makariou III 155, 3026 Limassol, Cyprus. By installing, accessing, or using DriveNote you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

2. License to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use DriveNote on devices you own or control, for your own personal or internal business use, subject to these Terms and to the rules of the app store from which you obtained it (Apple App Store, Google Play, or other authorized distributor). All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Codeensis Ltd.

3. DriveNote is not tax, legal, or financial advice

DriveNote is a tool that records your trips, calculates distance and time, and produces summaries and reports based on data you and your device provide. It is not a tax preparer, accountant, lawyer, or financial advisor, and using DriveNote does not create any professional advisory relationship between you and Codeensis.

Any mileage rate, deduction estimate, currency total, category suggestion, business-purpose label, or report format displayed in the app is provided for record-keeping convenience only. The app may reproduce publicly available information, including the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") standard mileage rate, the United Kingdom HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") approved mileage allowance payment rate, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") standard rate, or similar figures from other jurisdictions, solely so you can apply them to your own records. We do not guarantee that any such rate is current, applicable to your situation, or accepted by your tax authority, employer, or insurer.

You alone are responsible for:

Determining whether any trip is deductible, reimbursable, or otherwise eligible under the rules that apply to you.
Verifying that mileage rates and report formats meet the requirements of your tax authority, employer, or other party relying on the records.
Reviewing and correcting any auto-suggested category (e.g. "Business" / "Personal") before relying on it. Suggestions are statistical guesses, not statements of fact.
Filing accurate tax returns, expense reports, or reimbursement claims and retaining supporting documentation independent of DriveNote.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim any liability arising from your reliance on DriveNote's output for tax, accounting, reimbursement, or any other regulated purpose. If in doubt, consult a qualified tax professional in your jurisdiction.

4. Mileage rates and government data

Where DriveNote displays a default mileage rate (for example, the IRS standard mileage rate for the current tax year), the value is reproduced from the most recent public source available to us at the time of release. Rates change, sometimes mid-year, and may differ for medical, charitable, business, or moving categories. You can override any default rate in Settings. We make no warranty regarding rate accuracy or applicability and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating on behalf of the IRS, HMRC, CRA, or any other government body.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use DriveNote to record trips you did not actually take, or to fabricate mileage records intended to deceive a tax authority, employer, insurer, or any other third party.
Submit content that is unlawful, infringes third-party rights, or violates any applicable law in your jurisdiction.
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, except to the extent allowed by mandatory law.
Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the app.
Use the app to transmit malware, phishing content, or any code intended to disrupt third-party systems.
Impose unreasonable load on our infrastructure (e.g. automated submissions, mass scraping). We may rate-limit or suspend accounts that do.

6. Your data

You retain ownership of every trip, location point, address, tag, and note you record in DriveNote. By signing in and enabling cloud sync, you grant Codeensis a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, transmit, and display that data through Google Firebase Firestore for the sole purpose of providing the sync feature to you. This license ends when you delete the data or your account. We do not sell your data, do not show ads against it, and do not use it to train any AI model.

7. Subscriptions and free tier

DriveNote may offer a free tier and a paid tier ("Pro"). Paid subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). You can cancel a subscription at any time in your platform's account settings. Refunds are handled by the platform.

We may change pricing, quotas, or feature scope of the free or Pro tier with reasonable notice. Pricing changes do not apply to your current paid period.

8. Account suspension and termination

You may stop using DriveNote at any time by uninstalling it. To delete your data, use Settings → Account → Delete All Data inside the app or email [email protected].

We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms, abuse the service, or use it in a way that exposes us or other users to legal risk. Where reasonable and lawful, we will give notice and an opportunity to cure first. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) will survive.

9. Updates and availability

We may release updates, fixes, model changes, and new features to DriveNote from time to time. We may also discontinue features or the app itself at our discretion. We will make reasonable efforts to provide an export path for your data before any major discontinuation, but uptime, continued availability, and backward compatibility of any specific feature are not guaranteed.

10. Intellectual property

DriveNote, including its source code, design, name, and logo, is the property of Codeensis Ltd. and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. The app uses third-party open-source components subject to their respective licenses.

11. No warranty

DriveNote is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, or that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Without limiting the foregoing, we make no warranty that trip detection is exhaustive, that distances are precise, that route polylines are complete, that geocoded addresses are correct, or that any deduction estimate, mileage rate, or generated report is accurate or fit for any tax, reimbursement, or other purpose.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Codeensis Ltd., its officers, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, business opportunity, tax deduction, refund, reimbursement, or any decision you make in reliance on DriveNote's output, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) DriveNote, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to DriveNote shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid Codeensis for the app in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) ten euro (€10).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited (for example, liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or as required under EU consumer protection law).

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Codeensis Ltd. and its affiliates from and against any claim, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) trips, tags, notes, or other content you record through DriveNote, (b) your reliance on DriveNote's output for any tax, reimbursement, accounting, or business purpose, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any third party's rights or applicable law.

14. Privacy

Your use of DriveNote is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what data DriveNote collects, how cloud sync works, and your rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Limassol, Cyprus shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of these Terms, except where mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.

16. App store terms

If you obtained DriveNote through Apple's App Store or Google Play, you also agree to the terms of the respective platform. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and platform terms, platform terms govern with respect to platform-specific obligations (for example, refunds, in-app purchases).

17. Apple App Store — additional terms

The following terms apply only when DriveNote is downloaded from the Apple App Store and supplement these Terms. They are required by Apple Inc. ("Apple"). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple EULA"), the Apple EULA controls solely with respect to use of DriveNote on Apple devices.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to DriveNote.
