Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the DashDeduct mobile application or website at dashdeduct.com (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

2. Description of Service

DashDeduct provides a mileage tracking application designed for independent contractors and gig economy workers — including but not limited to drivers and shoppers for platforms such as DoorDash, Uber, Uber Eats, Instacart, Spark, Grubhub, and Lyft.

The Service is designed to:

• Automatically detect and log driving trips using GPS and device sensors
• Calculate estimated mileage per trip and in aggregate
• Provide estimated tax deduction values based on IRS standard mileage rates
• Generate mileage summaries and exportable reports for use with a tax professional or for your own records

DashDeduct is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by DoorDash, Uber, Uber Eats, Instacart, Walmart Spark, Grubhub, Lyft, or any other gig platform. These platform names are referenced solely to describe the types of users our Service is designed to assist.

3. User Accounts

To use the Service, you must create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Keep your password secure and not share it with others
• Notify us immediately at support@dashdeduct.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
• Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to terminate accounts that provide false information or violate these Terms.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

DashDeduct offers subscription-based access to the Service. By subscribing, you authorize us (or our payment processor) to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the then-current subscription rate until you cancel.

• Subscriptions are billed in advance (monthly or annually, depending on your plan)
• Payments are processed by third-party payment processors such as Stripe
• All fees are in USD unless otherwise stated
• We reserve the right to change subscription pricing with reasonable notice to existing subscribers

5. Free Trials and Promotional Pricing

We may offer free trials or promotional pricing (including Founding Driver pricing) from time to time. Unless otherwise stated:

• Free trials require a valid payment method on file
• Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan
• Promotional pricing locks in the advertised rate for as long as you remain continuously subscribed; cancellation terminates locked-in pricing
• We reserve the right to discontinue free trials or promotional offers at any time

6. Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at support@dashdeduct.com.

• Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you will continue to have access until that date
• We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods unless required by applicable law
• If you cancel a Founding Driver subscription, the locked-in pricing will not be restored if you re-subscribe

7. No Tax, Legal, or Financial Advice

DashDeduct is a software tool designed to help you organize mileage records and generate estimates. We are not a tax advisor, CPA, enrolled agent, attorney, or financial advisor.

• Deduction estimates are based on publicly available IRS standard mileage rates and are not guaranteed to be accurate or applicable to your specific tax situation
• DashDeduct does not represent or warrant that any amount shown in the app is deductible under applicable tax law
• You are solely responsible for reviewing all reports, verifying accuracy, and consulting a qualified tax professional before filing your taxes
• DashDeduct will not be liable for any taxes, penalties, interest, or other charges resulting from your use of the Service

8. Accuracy of Mileage and Deduction Estimates

Mileage tracking relies on GPS signals, device sensors, and software algorithms. You acknowledge that:

• GPS accuracy varies depending on device hardware, signal obstructions, and network conditions
• Battery saver mode, device settings, or background app restrictions may prevent accurate tracking
• Trips may be missed, truncated, or inaccurate due to technical limitations
• You are responsible for reviewing, correcting, and verifying all trip data before using it for tax purposes
• DashDeduct does not guarantee that mileage logs meet IRS substantiation requirements

We strongly recommend consulting a qualified tax professional to confirm that your records meet applicable documentation requirements.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable laws or regulations
• Submit false or fraudulent trip data
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the app
• Access or attempt to access other users' data
• Use the Service in a way that disrupts or harms the platform or other users
• Transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account for violations of this section.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with or may link to third-party services, including payment processors (Stripe), analytics tools, and cloud infrastructure providers. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. DashDeduct is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services.

11. Intellectual Property

All content, features, design, code, trademarks, logos, and materials in the Service are owned by or licensed to DashDeduct. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

You retain ownership of any trip data and reports you generate through the Service. By using the Service, you grant DashDeduct a limited license to process your data solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free; (b) mileage calculations will be accurate; (c) reports will meet IRS or other agency requirements; or (d) the Service will be free of viruses or other harmful components.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DASHDEDUCT AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, TAX PENALTIES, IRS AUDIT COSTS, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, DashDeduct, or third parties.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) will remain in effect.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and notify you by email or in-app notification. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration or in a court of competent jurisdiction.
