<h1>Terms of Use</h1>
<p class="meta">Charge & Explore — last updated August 19, 2026</p>
<p>These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the
operator of Charge & Explore ("Charge & Explore," "we," "us"). By
downloading, accessing, or using the Charge & Explore mobile app or website
(the "Service"), you agree to these Terms and to our
<a href="/privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a>. If you do not agree, do not use the
Service.</p>
<div class="box"><p><strong>Independent product.</strong> Charge & Explore is an
independent product and is <strong>not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored
by, or connected to Tesla, Inc.</strong> "Tesla," "Supercharger," and related
names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners and are used, if at
all, only nominatively to describe compatibility. We are also not affiliated
with any charging network, venue, restaurant, or other business that may be
shown in the Service.</p></div>
<h2>1. Eligibility</h2>
<p>You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and old enough to form a
binding contract where you live. If you are under 18, you may use the Service
only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees
to these Terms on your behalf. The Service is not directed to children under 13,
and we do not knowingly collect their data.</p>
<h2>2. The Service</h2>
<p>Charge & Explore suggests EV charging stops and nearby activities and
displays charging-related information. Charging-station locations, availability,
connector types, pricing, and charge-time and range figures come from
third-party sources and/or are computed <strong>estimates</strong>. They may be
inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or out of date. <strong>Always independently
verify station availability, connector compatibility, pricing, your vehicle's
actual range, and road/traffic conditions before relying on any information in
the Service.</strong></p>
<div class="box"><h2 style="margin-top:0">3. Safety & assumption of risk</h2>
<p class="caps"><strong>Do not interact with the service while driving or
operating a vehicle. Pull over and park first. The service is a planning and
information aid only — it is not a real-time navigation, safety, or emergency
system, and must not be relied upon in any situation where inaccurate,
unavailable, or delayed information could lead to injury, being stranded,
property damage, or other loss.</strong></p>
<p class="caps"><strong>You are solely responsible for your driving, your route,
your charging decisions, and your vehicle. You assume all risks arising from use
of the service and from your reliance on any information it provides. In an
emergency, call your local emergency number.</strong></p></div>
<h2>4. Your account and vehicle connection</h2>
<p>Connecting a Tesla or other vehicle account is <strong>optional</strong> and
governed by our <a href="/privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a>. Any such connection
is <strong>read-only</strong>: the Service requests vehicle data (and, optionally,
location) but requests no vehicle-command or charging-command permissions and
cannot control your vehicle. You must comply with the applicable terms of any
account you connect (including Tesla's). You are responsible for the security of
your own devices, credentials, and accounts, and you may disconnect and request
deletion at any time.</p>
<h2>5. Demo Mode</h2>
<p>The Service offers a "Demo Mode" that loads a <strong>synthetic, sample
vehicle and sample telemetry</strong> for demonstration and review purposes only.
Demo Mode data (e.g., a sample "Demo Model 3," sample charge level, and sample
stations) is <strong>fictional and illustrative</strong>, does not reflect any
real vehicle, and must not be relied upon for any real-world decision.</p>
<h2>6. Third-party data, services, and locations</h2>
<p>The Service incorporates data and links from third parties (charging-network
and mapping/data providers) and may surface third-party venues, businesses, and
activities. We do not control, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for
any third-party data, website, product, service, business, or location. Your
dealings with, and any visit to, any third party are solely between you and that
third party and at your own risk.</p>
<h2>7. Acceptable use</h2>
<p>Do not: attempt to access other users' data; probe, scan, overload, or disrupt
the Service or its infrastructure; scrape, harvest, or bulk-export data from the
Service; reverse engineer the Service except where that restriction is prohibited
by law; use the Service unlawfully or in violation of any connected provider's
terms (including Tesla's); or use the Service to build a competing dataset.</p>
<h2>8. Intellectual property</h2>
<p>The Service, including its software, design, text, and branding (excluding
third-party marks), is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by law. We
grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license
to use the Service for its intended purpose. All rights not expressly granted are
reserved.</p>
<h2>9. Disclaimer of warranties</h2>
<p class="caps"><strong>The service is provided "as is" and "as available,"
without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including
any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
title, and non-infringement, and any warranty of accuracy, availability,
reliability, or uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that any
station, route, price, estimate, or activity information is accurate, current, or
available. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties,
so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.</strong></p>
<h2>10. Limitation of liability</h2>
<p class="caps"><strong>To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will
Charge & Explore, its operator, or its suppliers be liable for any indirect,
incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any
loss of profits, data, goodwill, range, time, or for personal injury, property
damage, being stranded, or missed charging — arising out of or relating to the
service or your use of or inability to use it, even if advised of the possibility
of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the
service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the service in
the twelve (12) months before the claim, or twenty U.S. dollars ($20).</strong></p>
<p>Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or
limited under applicable law (for example, for gross negligence, willful
misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence where such a
limitation is not permitted).</p>
<h2>11. Indemnification</h2>
<p>You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Charge & Explore and its
operator from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses
(including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use or misuse
of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or
third-party right.</p>
<h2>12. Governing law and venue</h2>
<p>These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without
regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 13, the state and federal
courts located in Los Angeles County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction,
and you consent to venue there.</p>
<h2>13. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver</h2>
<p>Please read this section carefully. Except for claims that may be brought in
small-claims court, and except where prohibited by applicable law, any dispute
arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by
<strong>binding individual arbitration</strong> administered under the rules of a
recognized arbitration provider, rather than in court, and
<strong>you and we waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class,
consolidated, or representative action.</strong> If this class-action waiver is
found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim)
will proceed in court under Section 12. Where mandatory local consumer law gives
you a non-waivable right to bring a claim in your home courts, this section does
not remove that right.</p>
<h2>14. Termination</h2>
<p>We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if you
violate these Terms or to protect the Service. You may stop using the Service at
any time. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 6–13 and 15)
survive termination.</p>
<h2>15. Changes</h2>
<p>We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted on this page with a
new "last updated" date and, where required, in-app notice. Continued use after
changes means you accept the updated Terms.</p>
