1. Parking information disclaimer — please read this section carefully
CurbScout provides parking information for convenience only. It is not legal advice, and it is not a guarantee that parking at any location is legal, available, or free of charge.
Parking regulations change constantly — cities add and remove signs, change meter hours and rates, post temporary restrictions for construction, events, moving trucks, film shoots, and emergencies, and repaint curbs — often faster than any dataset can reflect. Data can also contain errors, and availability estimates are predictions, not observations.
The posted signs, curb markings, meters, and instructions of parking-enforcement and police officers at the physical location always govern. If the app and the street disagree, the street is right. You are solely responsible for where and how you park, and for any parking citations, fines, towing, storage charges, or other consequences. CurbScout is not liable for tickets, tows, or losses of any kind arising from parking decisions made using the Service.
2. Safe driving
Do not interact with the Service while driving. Set your destination before you begin your trip, use voice or passenger assistance, and always comply with traffic laws. Navigation guidance is informational; road conditions, closures, and traffic controls at the scene take precedence over anything the app displays.
3. License to use the Service
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the CurbScout app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, as permitted by the Apple App Store Terms of Service. Fleet, commercial, or automated use requires our prior written consent.
4. Accounts
Some features require an account (Sign in with Apple or Google). You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for maintaining the security of your credentials, and for activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old (and old enough to form a binding contract, or have a parent or guardian’s consent) to use the Service. You can delete your account at any time by contacting us.
5. Purchases and subscriptions
- Purchases and subscriptions are billed by Apple through your App Store account, not by us directly.
- Prices are shown in the App Store before you buy and may change with notice through the App Store.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions anytime in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under App Store policies (reportaproblem.apple.com).
- If a free trial is offered, unused trial time is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service in violation of any law, including traffic and parking laws;
- scrape, harvest, bulk-download, resell, or redistribute data from the Service;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app except where the law permits;
- interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or its security features;
- use the Service to build a competing dataset or product;
- misrepresent your identity or impersonate any person.
7. Third-party services and data
The Service incorporates data and services from third parties, including city open-data portals and public-records datasets, mapping and search services (Apple Maps, Google), routing infrastructure, purchase processing (Apple, RevenueCat), and public-event listings. Third-party services are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their accuracy or availability. City data is published by municipal agencies on their own schedules; CurbScout is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any city or transportation agency.
8. Intellectual property
The Service — including the app, website, design, text, graphics, logos, and the selection, arrangement, and enrichment of data — is owned by CurbScout or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the license in Section 3, no rights are granted to you. Apple, the Apple logo, and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc. Other marks belong to their respective owners.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT PARKING INFORMATION, AVAILABILITY ESTIMATES, PRICES, SCHEDULES, OR NAVIGATION GUIDANCE WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CURBSCOUT AND ITS DEVELOPERS, OFFICERS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PARKING CITATIONS, FINES, PENALTIES, TOWING AND STORAGE CHARGES, VEHICLE DAMAGE OR THEFT, OR MISSED APPOINTMENTS — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US THROUGH THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CurbScout and its developers from claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Service.
12. Apple App Store terms
- These Terms are between you and CurbScout only — not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product-liability, regulatory, or consumer-protection claims.
- In the event of a third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual-property rights, CurbScout, not Apple, is responsible for defense and resolution to the extent required by these Terms.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
- You must also comply with any applicable third-party terms (e.g., your wireless carrier agreement) when using the app.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14 survive termination.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except that either party may pursue qualifying claims in small-claims court.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the app. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
