Terms of Use for Aheadly
These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you and aheadly ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Aheadly mobile application, related websites, content, features, software, and services (collectively, the "Service").
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.
If you use the Service on an Apple device, the additional Apple-specific terms in Section 18 apply.
1. Eligibility
You may use the Service only if:
- you are legally capable of entering into a binding contract;
- you are not prohibited from using the Service under applicable law;
- you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or territory subject to applicable embargo or sanctions restrictions; and
- you are not included on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2. The Service
The Service is a planning and time-backward calculation tool. It allows users to:
- create plans by entering a date and time, plan title, place, and intended stay duration;
- calculate suggested departure times by counting backward from scheduled events;
- view estimated travel information based on third-party mapping and routing services;
- select transportation modes such as public transit, driving, and walking, where available;
- use timers and reminders made available within the Service;
- share plans with other users; and
- assign certain collaboration permissions, including read-only, can add plans, and full access.
The Service is provided for convenience and informational purposes only. It is not a navigation system, dispatch system, emergency tool, guaranteed scheduling tool, or professional advice service.
3. User Accounts and Security
You may be required to create an account or sign in using credentials from a third-party provider. You are responsible for:
- maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials;
- all activities occurring under your account;
- ensuring that your account information is accurate and current; and
- immediately notifying us at [Support Email] of any unauthorized use or security breach.
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
4. Free Plan, Paid Plan, Billing, and Changes
The Service may offer both free and paid features.
Free Plan
Unless we state otherwise in the app, the free plan permits up to ten (10) plan creations per monthly cycle. The cycle resets one month after the date on which you first began using the free plan, and each subsequent cycle resets on the corresponding monthly anniversary date, subject to reasonable system limitations and adjustments.
We may determine in our sole discretion what constitutes an "add plan" action or a counted usage event.
Paid Plan
The Service may offer an unlimited plan or other paid subscriptions, one-time purchases, or entitlements. Pricing, billing intervals, included features, trial offers, taxes, and renewal terms are shown in the Service at the time of purchase and may change from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by law.
App Store Billing
If you subscribe or purchase through Apple, Google, or another third-party platform, your payment relationship is with that platform, and its billing terms, refund rules, cancellation procedures, and payment processing terms also apply.
No Price Protection; Feature Changes
We may at any time, without liability:
- change pricing, features, limits, tiers, offerings, or eligibility rules;
- impose new fees or usage limits;
- discontinue any plan or feature; or
- correct billing, pricing, classification, or usage errors.
Except where required by law or platform rules, fees are non-refundable and non-creditable.
5. User Content and Shared Plans
You retain whatever ownership rights you may have in information, text, titles, schedule details, notes, locations, and other content you submit to the Service ("User Content"), subject to the rights you grant to us in these Terms.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, process, analyze, transmit, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise use User Content for the purposes of:
- operating, providing, maintaining, securing, and improving the Service;
- enabling sharing and collaboration features you request;
- developing new features, analytics, safety, anti-abuse, and machine-learning or automation features;
- enforcing our rights and policies; and
- complying with legal obligations.
You represent and warrant that:
- you own or control all rights necessary to submit the User Content;
- your User Content and your use of the Service do not violate any law, third-party right, contract, confidentiality duty, or privacy obligation; and
- you have obtained all required permissions from any person whose information, location, schedule, or personal data you upload, share, or disclose through the Service.
Shared Plans and Permissions
If you share a plan or grant access to another user:
- you do so at your own risk;
- you are solely responsible for the decision to share and the scope of permissions you grant;
- users with "full access" may be able to view, add, edit, reorganize, copy, export, or delete plan information to the extent the Service allows;
- users with "can add plans" access may be able to contribute content that affects schedules, timing outputs, or related information; and
- once content is shared, we cannot guarantee that recipients will not copy, retain, screenshot, export, retransmit, or further disclose it.
We are not responsible for disputes between users, misuse of shared content, unauthorized collaboration outcomes, or any loss caused by shared access settings.
6. Third-Party Services, Maps, and Routing Data
The Service may rely on third-party services, including Google Maps Platform and other map, route, transit, location, hosting, analytics, authentication, notification, or payment providers.
Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate third-party terms and privacy policies. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms.
In particular:
- map, route, transit, traffic, distance, and duration information may be inaccurate, unavailable, delayed, incomplete, or outdated;
- actual travel conditions may differ materially from estimates;
- transit schedules, traffic conditions, closures, weather, accidents, strikes, and human error may affect results; and
- you must use independent judgment and are solely responsible for your travel, departures, arrivals, safety, and decisions.
We do not warrant that any suggested departure time, route, or timing output is correct, safe, lawful, or suitable for your needs.
We may monitor usage of map, routing, and related third-party powered features for abuse prevention, cost control, platform compliance, and service protection. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that your usage is excessive, abnormal, automated, abusive, commercially unreasonable, or likely to create disproportionate third-party charges, technical strain, or legal or contractual risk, we may throttle, limit, suspend, condition, or terminate your access to some or all such features or the Service, with or without notice.
7. No Reliance; Safety Disclaimer
You must not rely on the Service as your sole source for time-sensitive, travel, safety, emergency, legal, medical, employment, educational, or operational decisions.
You are solely responsible for:
- confirming all event times, reservations, and locations;
- allowing sufficient buffer time;
- complying with traffic laws, transit rules, and venue requirements;
- supervising your own travel and safety; and
- handling emergencies without relying on the Service.
The Service is not designed or guaranteed for emergency response, mission-critical operations, or any use where delays, miscalculations, outages, or inaccuracies could cause death, personal injury, property damage, business interruption, or regulatory harm.
8. Acceptable Use
You may not, and may not encourage or assist others to:
- use the Service in violation of law or third-party rights;
- upload unlawful, infringing, harmful, abusive, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, or misleading content;
- access or use the Service to stalk, harass, surveil, exploit, or endanger any person;
- interfere with, disrupt, damage, or impair the Service or its security;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code, except where prohibited from restriction by law;
- scrape, harvest, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Service;
- bypass feature limits, plan restrictions, access controls, or technical safeguards;
- use the Service to build a competing product or benchmark it for competitive purposes;
- resell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the Service except as expressly authorized by us; or
- use automated means, bots, scripts, or abuse patterns that impose unreasonable load or circumvent intended usage;
- generate excessive, abnormal, or artificial requests to map, routing, transit, geolocation, or related Service functions;
- use the Service in a manner that causes, or is reasonably likely to cause, disproportionate third-party API fees, infrastructure burden, service degradation, or contractual risk to us; or
- attempt to bypass any request throttles, quotas, rate limits, fair use thresholds, caching rules, or usage restrictions imposed by us or our third-party providers.
9. Intellectual Property
The Service, including all software, designs, text, graphics, logos, interfaces, compilations, audio, video, data structures, and other content made available by us, is owned by or licensed to us and protected by intellectual property and other laws.
Except for the limited license granted under these Terms, no right, title, or interest in the Service is transferred to you. The Service is licensed, not sold.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Service solely for your personal or internal lawful use on devices you own or control, subject to applicable platform usage rules.
10. Feedback
If you provide suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, sublicensable right to use and exploit that feedback for any purpose without restriction, attribution, or compensation to you.
11. Privacy
Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and disclose information. By using the Service, you acknowledge that electronic communications and internet transmissions may not be completely private or secure.
12. Service Availability, Modifications, and Suspension
We may at any time, with or without notice and without liability:
- add, remove, modify, or disable any feature;
- impose limits on use, storage, collaboration, exports, or access;
- suspend or stop providing the Service in whole or in part;
- deny access to any user, region, device, or network; or
- investigate suspected misuse and take any action we deem appropriate.
Without limiting the foregoing, we may immediately restrict, throttle, suspend, or terminate access if we suspect abnormal request volume, abusive API activity, unusual automation, attempts to evade usage limits, or any activity that could increase third-party service charges or expose us to operational, contractual, or legal risk.
We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times, error-free, uninterrupted, or compatible with any device, carrier, operating system, or third-party service.
13. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided "as is," "as available," "with all faults," and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, reliability, availability, security, and that the service will meet your requirements or achieve any intended result.
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:
- timing calculations will be accurate;
- route, transit, traffic, or location information will be correct or current;
- plans will not be lost, corrupted, duplicated, or altered;
- collaboration permissions will prevent unauthorized copying or misuse;
- timers, reminders, or notifications will be delivered on time or at all; or
- defects will be corrected.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages;
- we will not be liable for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or anticipated savings;
- we will not be liable for any personal injury, death, property damage, travel delays, missed appointments, missed transportation, missed events, business interruption, or third-party claims arising out of or relating to the Service; and
- our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service during the calendar month in which the event giving rise to the claim occurred.
The limitations in this section apply regardless of the theory of liability and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
15. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, licensors, service providers, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, demands, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
- your use or misuse of the Service;
- your User Content;
- your violation of these Terms;
- your violation of any law or third-party right; or
- any dispute between you and another user or third party.
16. Termination
These Terms remain in effect until terminated by you or us.
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may terminate or suspend your access immediately, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk, or exposed us or others to potential liability.
Upon termination:
- your rights under these Terms will cease immediately;
- you must stop using the Service;
- we may delete or retain your data in accordance with applicable law and our internal practices; and
- Sections that by their nature should survive will survive, including Sections 5, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19.
17. Governing Law; Disputes
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, these Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be governed by the laws of [Governing Law Jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and the Company agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all disputes will be the courts located in [Venue], and each party irrevocably submits to those courts.
If you want a more aggressive U.S.-style dispute clause, you may replace this section with a binding arbitration and class action waiver tailored by local counsel.
18. Apple App Store Terms
If you obtained the Service through Apple's App Store, you acknowledge and agree that:
- these Terms are concluded between you and the Company only, and not with Apple;
- Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content;

- the Company, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service, including product liability claims, claims that the Service fails to conform to applicable legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws;

- Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
19. General
We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction. You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights or obligations without our prior written consent.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
These Terms, together with any policies or additional terms expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements relating to the Service.
