The Platform provides license activation, account management, software downloads, and technical support.

The Software is a technical tool. It performs actions at the direction of the user. The Software itself has no knowledge of, and does not make any determination about, the legal or regulatory status of any action taken by the user in any jurisdiction. All decisions about what to do with the Software are made exclusively by the user.

3. License Grant

Upon purchasing a valid license, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, machine-bound license to install and use the Software on a single computer identified by the hardware key generated during installation, for the duration of your active subscription.

This responsibility cannot be transferred to, shared with, or attributed to the developer or provider of this Software under any circumstances.

You are solely and exclusively responsible for:

  • Determining whether your intended use of the Software is lawful in your specific jurisdiction, country, region, and context of use. We do not provide legal advice and make no representation about the legality of any specific action in any specific location.

5. Acceptable Use Policy

Provisional version 2026-09-15.1 — published 15 September 2026, pending review by legal counsel. It is binding as published; a revised wording may replace it, in which case you will be asked to accept the new version.

5.1 Professional use only. The Software and the Services are intended exclusively for professionals of the commercial vehicle sector (workshops, bodybuilders, fleet operators, diagnostic technicians). They are not offered to consumers. By creating an account you declare that you act in the course of your trade or profession.

5.2 Prohibited uses. You must not use the Software, the Platform or any Remote Job or other service to:

  • disable, deactivate, bypass, defeat, tamper with or otherwise alter the operation of any emission control system or its components, sensors, monitoring, warning or inducement functions (including any system that limits engine performance when such a fault is detected);
  • disable, bypass, alter or manipulate any speed limiter;
  • disable, bypass, alter or manipulate any tachograph or its calibration or recorded data;
  • conceal, erase or falsify vehicle fault, service or mileage information in order to mislead an inspection authority, an insurer, a buyer or any third party;
  • obtain or use immobilizer or security codes for a vehicle you are not authorised to work on;
  • request any of the above under a different description.

We do not provide, quote or perform any such work, on any vehicle, in any jurisdiction, regardless of the intended use of the vehicle (road, off-road, export, testing or otherwise).

5.3 Homologation and inspection. Changes to the characteristics of a vehicle (including engine output, driveline configuration, platform conversions and body-builder functions) may require type approval, homologation, notification to the registration authority and/or an extraordinary roadworthiness inspection in your jurisdiction. You declare that any change you make, or ask us to make, complies with the type-approval, registration and inspection legislation applicable where the vehicle is registered and used, and that compliance with those requirements is exclusively your responsibility.

5.4 Right to refuse. We may refuse, suspend or cancel any Remote Job, quote or other request that, in our sole judgement, violates or is likely to violate this Policy, without refund of any amount already paid for that request and without being required to give a detailed justification. Requests whose description matches prohibited work are held for manual review and are not processed automatically.

5.5 Records. We keep a record of each acceptance of these Terms (date, time, IP address, version accepted) and of each request held for review. These records may be used as evidence of our due diligence and may be disclosed to competent authorities where required by law.

5.6 Consequences of violation. Any violation of this Policy results in the immediate termination of your license and of your account, without refund, in addition to any other remedy available to us. Section 11 (Indemnification) applies in full.
