Terms of Service
Effective: 30 April 2026 · Last updated: 30 April 2026
By using AI Mechanic (also marketed as "Auto AI — Mechanic & Repair", the "App", operated by Caretopia Network Private Limited, "we", "our") you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms must be read together with our End User License Agreement (EULA) and our Privacy Policy, which are incorporated by reference. If anything in these Terms conflicts with the EULA, the EULA controls.
1. Use of the App
- You must be 13 or older to create an account.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of vehicle and problem information you provide.
- The App is for personal, non-commercial use unless you have a separate written agreement with us.
- You may not use the App in any way that violates applicable laws or third-party rights.
2. AI-assisted diagnoses are NOT professional advice
AI Mechanic provides AI-generated preliminary assessments to help you understand your vehicle. These are estimates, not a replacement for a qualified mechanic. Always consult a professional before performing any safety-critical repair (brakes, airbags, fuel, suspension, electrical). We are not liable for any decision made or repair performed based on the App's output.
3. Subscriptions, billing & auto-renewal
The App offers auto-renewable subscriptions ("AI Mechanic Pro") on weekly, monthly, and annual terms.
- Billing. Subscriptions are billed by Apple through the App Store at the price shown at checkout, in your local currency. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same price unless changed.
- Free trial (monthly plan). The monthly plan includes a 3-day free trial for new subscribers only. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, you will be charged the monthly subscription price. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you purchase a subscription before the trial ends.
- Manage / cancel. You can manage and cancel any time via iOS Settings → [Your Apple ID] → Subscriptions. Cancellation stops future renewals.
- Refunds. Refunds for App Store subscriptions are handled by Apple under the App Store refund policy, not by us. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com to request a refund. We do not refund partial billing periods unless required by Apple's policy or applicable local consumer-protection law.
- Free-tier features may change at our discretion.
4. Acceptable use
Do not abuse the AI: no scraping, no resale of API access, no unauthorized commercial use. Do not use the App to transmit malware, harass other users, or violate any law. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
5. Intellectual property
You retain ownership of photos and content you upload. You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to process them solely to deliver the AI features and operate the App. We retain ownership of the App, its branding, source code, designs, and AI prompts.
6. Termination
You can delete your account in-app at any time (Settings → Delete account) or by emailing help@stenofast.com. We can suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or the EULA. Upon termination, your license to use the App ends and you must cease all use.
7. Disclaimers & limitation of liability
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, AI Mechanic and Caretopia Network Private Limited are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses arising from use of the App — including, without limitation, any vehicle damage, personal injury, or financial loss arising from following the App's suggestions. Our total cumulative liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.
8. Apple App Store provisions
If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following terms also apply (as required by Apple's "Licensed Application End User License Agreement" / "Schedule 2"):
- Parties. These Terms and the EULA are between you and Caretopia Network Private Limited only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Scope of license. The license granted to you for the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms.
- Maintenance and support. Caretopia Network Private Limited is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
- Warranty. Caretopia Network Private Limited is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
- Product claims. Caretopia Network Private Limited, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including (i) product liability claims, (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (iii) claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
- Intellectual property. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights, Caretopia Network Private Limited (not Apple) will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual-property infringement claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Developer name and contact. Caretopia Network Private Limited, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Email: help@stenofast.com.
- Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
- Apple as third-party beneficiary. You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and the EULA, and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms and the EULA, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Terms and the EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, except where prohibited by applicable consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be posted at stenofast.com/aimechanic/terms. Material changes will be communicated through the App. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
