Last Updated: March 10, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are entered into by and between Peter Gartner (“we,” “our,” or “us”) and you, the user.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Autera mobile application (“App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.

2. Description of Service

Autera is a personal vehicle maintenance tracking application that allows users to log maintenance records, track upcoming service tasks, store vehicle documents, check open recalls, and receive maintenance reminders. The App is intended for personal, non‑commercial use.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

4. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and truthful information
  • Use the App only for lawful purposes
  • Not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the App’s source code
  • Not interfere with or disrupt the App or its connected networks
  • Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks
  • Not use the App to store unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent content
  • Not automate, scrape, or misuse the App

You are solely responsible for any content you upload or store within the App, including documents, photos, and maintenance notes.

5. Data and Backups

Your vehicle and maintenance data is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud Backup, your data may also be stored in your personal iCloud account. We do not operate a cloud database containing your personal data.

You are responsible for maintaining your own backups. We are not liable for data loss resulting from device failure, software errors, accidental deletion, or failure to enable backup features.

6. Third‑Party Services

The App integrates with third‑party services, including but not limited to Apple WeatherKit, Apple MapKit, Google Firebase, NHTSA, and automotive data providers. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

We do not control and are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third‑party services. We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any data provided by these services.

7. Vehicle Recall Information

Recall information is sourced from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) public API and is provided for informational purposes only.

You should always verify recall information directly with your vehicle’s manufacturer or authorized dealer. We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of recall data.

8. No Professional Advice

The App does not provide professional mechanical, safety, or legal advice. Maintenance reminders, schedules, and suggestions are for general informational purposes only. Always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual and a qualified mechanic for specific maintenance guidance.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error‑free, secure, or free of viruses or harmful components.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR REVENUE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11. Intellectual Property

All content, design, graphics, logos, and code within the App are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works without our prior written permission.

12. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review our Privacy Policy at https://gartnerpeter.wixsite.com/autera/privacy-policy.

13. Modifications to the App

We may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time without notice or liability to you.

14. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your device. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms.

Upon termination, any data stored locally on your device will remain until you delete the App.

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date reflects the most recent changes. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States, without regard to conflict‑of‑law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in Minnesota.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the App and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.
