Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Omniscient Labs LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) and govern your use of the Axlyne mobile app and related services. Please read them carefully. They include disclaimers of warranties, a limitation of liability, an indemnification obligation, and (where enforceable) an agreement to resolve disputes by individual arbitration and a waiver of class actions. The August 13, 2026 v15 release candidate excludes Axlyne AI chat, AI transmission, AI-answer reporting, and external AI processing.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
By downloading, installing, or using Axlyne, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have reached the age of legal majority where you live to use Axlyne. By using the app you represent that you meet these requirements and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The app is not directed to children.
You also represent that you are not located in, and are not a national of, a country subject to a US government embargo, and that you are not on any government restricted or prohibited party list.
3. Your account and your responsibilities
A fresh installation starts signed out. If you choose to create an account or sign in with email, Google, or Apple, you agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and be responsible for activity under your account. An existing installation may retain a legacy anonymous session created by an earlier release. Use one account per person. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.
You are responsible for the OBD2 adapter you use, for how you connect it to your vehicle, and for ensuring you have the right to access any vehicle you scan.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the app. You will not: use it for any unlawful purpose; scan a vehicle you are not authorized to access; reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except where that restriction is prohibited by law; probe, scan, or test the security of the app or our systems without authorization; interfere with or disrupt the service; scrape or harvest data; resell or commercially exploit the app without permission; or infringe the rights of others.
You agree to operate the app safely. Configure connections, run scans, and interact with the app only while the vehicle is safely parked, or have a passenger operate it. If you use the phone Drive or HUD display, mount the phone and choose the display before moving. Do not touch the phone while driving.
Use performance timing only on a controlled closed course where acceleration testing is lawful. Never conduct acceleration testing on public roads. Obey all traffic and safety laws. Configure and arm the timer only while safely parked, and do not touch the phone while the vehicle is moving.
Set up car displays on the phone only while safely parked. The iOS app includes a small Axlyne Status widget that may appear in CarPlay Dashboard on supported systems. The Android release candidate includes a read-only Android Auto status app for Google review; availability depends on Google approval. Car displays show saved adapter and verified diagnostic status only. They do not provide live gauges, scanning, purchases, or vehicle control.
5. Diagnostics and safety disclaimer
Axlyne presents bounded diagnostic observations and supported read-only Mode 01 gauge values through a vehicle interface. Live gauge values are transient and are not saved in scans or reports. A future separately authorized, evidence-bound candidate could summarize saved observations, but it would not receive the transient live gauge stream. The observations, values, and any future summaries would be for general informational purposes only.
It is NOT professional, mechanical, engineering, safety, medical, legal, financial, or tax advice, and it is not a substitute for inspection, diagnosis, or repair by a qualified professional. Generic OBD data does not inspect the whole vehicle or establish road safety. Diagnostic trouble codes and readiness observations may be incomplete or incorrect for your specific vehicle.
YOU ASSUME ALL RISK for decisions you make about your vehicle, including whether to drive, continue driving, repair, or modify it. Axlyne does not send vehicle-control or write commands. You are solely responsible for the consequences of decisions based on recorded observations or transient live values. If a condition may be unsafe, stop driving when it is safe to do so and contact a qualified professional.
6. Mileage and location features
The mileage and drive-tracking features estimate distance from GPS samples taken while you record a trip in the foreground. GPS measurements can be inaccurate, and trips can be missed or mismeasured.
Mileage logs, including any IRS standard-rate calculations or exports, are provided for your convenience only and are NOT tax, accounting, or legal advice. You are responsible for verifying your records and for meeting any recordkeeping or substantiation requirements. Consult a qualified tax professional regarding deductions.
7. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation
Axlyne offers an auto-renewing subscription (“Axlyne Pro”) with monthly and annual plans. The current price, billing period, and any free-trial terms are shown in the app before you confirm a purchase.
Payment is charged to your Apple App Store or Google Play account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel through the applicable app-store subscription settings. The store shows your next renewal date; cancel before that renewal to avoid the next charge. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the current paid period, subject to the store’s terms and applicable law.
You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings. If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.
Refunds are handled by the app store under its policies, not by us directly. We do not control and are not responsible for app-store refund decisions.
8. Free trials and promotional offers
If we offer a free trial or promotional offer, its terms, duration, and what happens when it ends are disclosed in the app before you start it. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription begins automatically and your store account is charged at the then-current price. Offers may be limited, may change, and may not be combined.
9. License to use the app
Subject to these Terms, Omniscient Labs LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use one copy of Axlyne on a device you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
10. Your content and data
You keep ownership of the data you create or input, such as vehicle profiles, notes, and logs and maintenance reminders. You grant us a limited license to host, process, and transmit only the data you choose to submit for optional account, and subscription features. We do not claim ownership of your data. A future separately authorized, evidence-bound candidate would add AI chat messages to this section and would request a limited license only for data a user chose to submit to that future AI feature.
11. Intellectual property
Axlyne, including its software, design, branding, and content we provide, is owned by Omniscient Labs LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Vehicle makes, models, and trademarks referenced in the app belong to their respective owners and are used only for identification and compatibility; their use does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
THE APP AND ALL CONTENT AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR ACCURATE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY DIAGNOSTIC OBSERVATION, ANY AI SUMMARY FROM A FUTURE SEPARATELY AUTHORIZED, EVIDENCE-BOUND CANDIDATE, OR ANY MILEAGE FIGURE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR FOR VEHICLE DAMAGE, REPAIR COSTS, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY US DOLLARS (USD 50). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE LIMITS, SO THEY MAY NOT FULLY APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM PERMITTED BY LAW.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Omniscient Labs LLC and its owners, officers, employees, and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to your use of the app, your data or content, your decisions about your vehicle, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
15. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the app at any time if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the app or other users. You may stop using the app at any time and may delete your account and data in the app. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution, will survive.
16. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the arbitration agreement below, you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located there for any dispute not subject to arbitration. Mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence are not affected.
17. Dispute resolution, arbitration, and class-action waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court.
YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
30-day opt-out: you may opt out of this arbitration and class-action-waiver agreement by emailing axlyne@proton.me within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, with your name and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.
This section does not apply where the law prohibits pre-dispute arbitration or class-action waivers, including for many consumers in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. In that case, disputes are handled under the governing-law and venue section, and your mandatory local rights, including the ability to bring proceedings in your home courts, remain unaffected.
18. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the app evolves or the law changes. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, give notice in the app. Your continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the app.
19. Apple-specific terms
If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, the following also applies. These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation for the app, and any claims relating to the app, including product-liability, legal or regulatory non-conformance, and consumer-protection claims, are our responsibility and not Apple’s. Apple is not responsible for addressing any third-party intellectual property claims relating to the app.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on any US restricted-party list. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the app must also comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and the standard Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement.
20. AI chat and retired guidance
A future separately authorized, evidence-bound candidate would include optional Axlyne Pro generative AI chat only after every release gate were satisfied and the legal disclosures were updated for that candidate. It would provide saved-record summaries and technician question preparation, and it would cite facts from the record submitted with the chat. It would not diagnose faults, rate severity, establish driving safety, recommend repairs, or estimate prices. AI diagnosis, inferred repair guidance, inferred driving guidance, and inferred prices would remain unavailable. Users would be told not to use that future AI chat as a substitute for a qualified inspection.
21. Safety, emergencies, and crisis resources
Axlyne is not an emergency service and cannot detect or respond to emergencies. In an emergency, call your local emergency number (911 in the United States) or roadside assistance.
If you or someone else is in distress or crisis, contact local emergency services. In the United States, you can call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Do not rely on the app for help in an emergency.
22. General
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision is enforced to the maximum extent permitted. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the app.
Questions about these Terms: email axlyne@proton.me. These documents are provided as general information tailored to the app and are not legal advice.
