Terms of Service

The service

My Garage Journal is a digital record for your vehicles — a place to log service history, costs, documents and reminders, and to generate ownership and sale reports. It’s a record-keeping tool, not legal, financial or mechanical advice.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the service. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 16 or older.

Your account

You’re responsible for keeping your login details secure and for the activity on your account, and for the accuracy of the information you enter. Let us know promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

Acceptable use

Don’t misuse the service: no unlawful content, no attempts to access other users’ data or disrupt the service, and no use that infringes others’ rights.

Your content

You keep ownership of the records and files you add. You grant us the limited permission needed to store, process and display that content back to you, and to produce the reports you ask us to generate. You’re responsible for the content you upload and for anything you choose to share.

Plans and payment

We offer a free tier and a paid plan (Garage Membership); current prices and inclusions are shown in the app. Garage Membership is billed annually in advance and renews automatically until cancelled. How you pay, cancel and get a refund depends on where you joined:

• On our website — payment is processed by our payment processor, Stripe, which handles your card details; we never see or store them. You can cancel at any time from Settings. If you change your mind, you can request a full refund within 14 days of your payment, from Settings — this refunds your payment and ends your membership immediately, and you keep your records on the free tier.
• In the iPhone app — payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under its own terms; you can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• In the Android app — payment is processed by Google Play, and the subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in Google Play. Refunds are handled by Google under Google Play’s policies; you can request one from your order history in Google Play.

Wherever you joined, cancelling stops the next renewal: your membership stays active until the end of the paid period, after which you keep your records and free-tier access. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription made in the iPhone or Android app — cancel it in your Apple or Google account as well. Apart from the refunds described above, payments already made are non-refundable except where the law requires, and any billing questions can be sent to support@mygaragejournal.com. Nothing here affects any mandatory statutory rights you have as a consumer.

Reports and sharing

Reports you publish are accessible to anyone who has the link. You decide what to include and who to share a report with, and you’re responsible for that decision.

Vehicle transfers

You can hand a vehicle’s record over to another person using a transfer code. Doing so copies that vehicle’s history and its attached files to the recipient’s account — your private notes and insurance entries are excluded, and cost figures are included only if you choose to. Once the code is redeemed, the recipient controls their copy and your copy becomes read-only. Only transfer records for a vehicle you own and are entitled to pass on.

Availability

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We may add, change or remove features, and we can’t guarantee uninterrupted availability. We recommend keeping your own copy of important documents (the export tool makes this easy).

Disclaimers and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, and nothing in these terms affects your mandatory statutory rights as a consumer under applicable law.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data and forms part of these terms.

Termination

You can delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate access if these terms are breached.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and disputes are subject to the courts of Ireland. If you are a consumer resident in the EU/EEA, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We’ll revise the “last updated” date above and highlight significant changes in the app.
