By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, do not download, install, or use the Application.

You acknowledge that this Agreement is concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the Application and the content thereof.

1. Scope of License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license to run and use the Application on any Apple-branded products running iOS that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms of Service.

  • No Warranty of Accuracy: All transit data and smart notifications are provided “as is” and “as available” for reference only. Actual arrival times fluctuate due to live traffic conditions, weather, road accidents, or technical delays from the transit operators.
  • Limitation of Liability: We do not guarantee that the schedules, route maps, or ETA alerts are 100% accurate or continuous. We shall not be held liable for any missed trips, delays, financial losses, or inconveniences caused by data inaccuracies or network outages.

The Application offers a “Pro Member” tier via In-App Purchases (subscriptions).

  • Billing & Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the price and frequency selected at the time of purchase unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing cycle.
  • Payment Processing: Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions must be managed and cancelled by you directly through your Apple ID Account Settings.
  • Refunds: All monetary transactions are handled entirely by Apple. We cannot directly issue refunds for App Store purchases.

4. Maintenance and Support

We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the Application. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Application.

5. Privacy and Location Data

  • Your location data is processed locally on your device to calculate distances and is never uploaded or sold to external servers.
  • For more information, please review our full Privacy Policy listed in the Application store page.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

You acknowledge that in the event of any third-party claim that the Application or your possession and use of the Application infringes that third partyโ€™s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
