The Application stores and processes personal data that you have provided to the Service Provider in order to provide the Service. It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your phone and access to the Application. The Service Provider strongly advises against jailbreaking or rooting your phone, which involves removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. Such actions could expose your phone to malware, viruses, malicious programs, compromise your phone's security features, and may result in the Application not functioning correctly or at all.
Third-Party Terms & Conditions
Please note that the Application utilizes third-party services that have their own Terms and Conditions. Below are the links to the Terms and Conditions of the third-party service providers used by the Application:
Please be aware that the Service Provider does not assume responsibility for certain aspects. Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection, which can be Wi-Fi or provided by your mobile network provider. The Service Provider cannot be held responsible if the Application does not function at full capacity due to lack of access to Wi-Fi or if you have exhausted your data allowance.
If you are using the application outside of a Wi-Fi area, please be aware that your mobile network provider's agreement terms still apply. Consequently, you may incur charges from your mobile provider for data usage during the connection to the application, or other third-party charges. By using the application, you accept responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the application outside of your home territory (i.e., region or country) without disabling data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you are using the application, they assume that you have obtained permission from the bill payer.
Similarly, the Service Provider cannot always assume responsibility for your usage of the application. For instance, it is your responsibility to ensure that your device remains charged. If your device runs out of battery and you are unable to access the Service, the Service Provider cannot be held responsible.
Nothing in these Terms shall limit any rights you have under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot be lawfully excluded.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, data loss, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
However, the Service Provider retains full liability for:
- Death or personal injury caused by negligence.
- Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
- Any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of the Service Provider for any claim shall not exceed the amount paid by you to the Service Provider for the Application in the 12 months preceding the claim, or the minimum amount that must be paid under applicable law, whichever is greater. If the Application is provided free of charge, this means the Service Provider's liability is limited to the minimum amount permitted by applicable law.
The Service Provider accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, that you experience as a result of relying entirely on third-party information provided through this Application, or for inaccuracies in content provided by third parties.
Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or directly related to your breach of these Terms or your intentional misuse of the Application, including User-Generated Content you submit in violation of these Terms.
This indemnification does not apply to claims arising from the Service Provider's own negligence, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law. In jurisdictions where consumer indemnification is restricted by law, this clause shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted.
The Application incorporates Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to provide certain features or services. By using the Application, you acknowledge and agree that AI may be used to process data and deliver functionalities. The Service Provider ensures that all AI usage complies with applicable laws and is designed to benefit the user experience.
The Service Provider may wish to update the application at some point. The application is currently available as per the requirements for the operating system (and for any additional systems they decide to extend the availability of the application to) may change, and you will need to download the updates if you want to continue using the application. The Service Provider does not guarantee that it will always update the application so that it is relevant to you and/or compatible with the particular operating system version installed on your device. You should accept updates when offered; if you choose not to, the Service Provider may cease to support earlier versions and the Application may not function properly. The Service Provider may also wish to cease providing the application and may terminate its use at any time without providing termination notice to you. Unless they inform you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must cease using the application, and (if necessary) delete it from your device.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service Provider is established, excluding conflict of law rules, except to the extent mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be brought before the courts that have jurisdiction under applicable law. Nothing in this clause limits any rights you may have to bring a claim in a court that is competent under mandatory law.
DSA Compliance (Digital Services Act)
If the Application is an intermediary service as defined under the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, "DSA"), the following provisions apply in addition to the terms above.
- Point of Contact: The Service Provider maintains a single point of contact for direct communication with EU authorities and recipients of the service, reachable at railgatecheck@gmail.com. Where the Service Provider is established outside the European Union, a legal representative in the EU has been designated in accordance with Article 13 of the DSA.
- Content Moderation and Statement of Reasons: When the Service Provider restricts access to content, suspends or terminates an account, or otherwise limits the availability of the Application's features, a clear and specific statement of reasons will be provided to the affected user. The statement will include the nature of the restriction, the legal or contractual basis for the decision, and information on available redress mechanisms, in accordance with Article 17 of the DSA.
- Notice and Action: Users and third parties may submit notices of allegedly illegal content through the contact details provided in these Terms. The Service Provider will process notices promptly, diligently, and without automated decision-making where the circumstances require human review. Notices will be acknowledged electronically and a decision communicated without undue delay, in accordance with Article 16 of the DSA.
- Out-of-Court Dispute Settlement: Disputes regarding content moderation decisions, including decisions to restrict content or suspend accounts, may be submitted to an out-of-court dispute settlement body certified in accordance with Article 21 of the DSA. The Service Provider will engage with such bodies in good faith. Use of out-of-court dispute settlement does not affect your right to seek judicial remedy under applicable law.
- Transparency Reporting: The Service Provider publishes periodic transparency reports covering content moderation activities, including the volume of notices received, actions taken, and automated means used, in accordance with Article 24 of the DSA. Reports are made available upon request at railgatecheck@gmail.com.
These DSA provisions apply to the extent that the Application qualifies as an intermediary service under the DSA and does not replace or limit any rights or obligations under applicable consumer protection or data protection law.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Service Provider concerning your use of the Application, superseding any prior agreements or understandings.
