Terms of Service

Effective June 15, 2026  ·  Version 1.1

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Daedalus Shop and related services (the "Service") provided by Daedalus Automotive. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Who May Use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old and legally permitted to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. By signing up on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Notify us at [email protected] immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

You may not share credentials or create accounts to circumvent restrictions in these Terms.

3. Your Data Is Yours

All customer records, repair orders, estimates, invoices, vehicle data, and other content you enter ("Your Content") remain your property. We process and store it solely to provide the Service. You may export or delete Your Content at any time.

Customer deletion is a soft-delete: the record is immediately hidden from active use, but historic invoices may be retained for the period required by applicable tax law. Where applicable law requires full erasure, contact us and we will provide a scrub script.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

5. Communications Compliance (TCPA / CAN-SPAM / CASL)

When you use the Service to send SMS messages or emails to your customers, you are the sender and you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, including obtaining required consent, honoring opt-out requests, and including required disclosures. Daedalus provides the technical means to send communications but has no visibility into whether individual recipients have consented.

6. Shop Regulatory Compliance

You are solely responsible for knowing and complying with all applicable federal, state, and local automotive repair regulations in your jurisdiction — including written repair authorizations, estimate requirements, and parts disclosure rules. The Service provides software tools to help manage your shop; it does not guarantee that your use of those tools satisfies any particular regulatory requirement.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service — including its software, design, and documentation — is proprietary to Daedalus Automotive. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You retain all rights to Your Content.

8. Professional Responsibility

Any AI-generated output the Service provides is an informational aid to be evaluated by a trained technician — it is not professional automotive advice and does not replace a technician's judgment. You are solely responsible for all repair decisions, safety assessments, and work performed on vehicles.

9. Privacy and Data Processing

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information. Our Data Processing Agreement governs our obligations as processor of your customers' personal data under GDPR and equivalent laws. Both are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10. Subscriptions, Trials, Fees and Refunds

Free trial. New shops start with a 14-day free trial. No payment method is required to begin. If you do not add a payment method before the trial ends, your account becomes read-only — your data remains intact and exportable, and full access resumes when you subscribe.

Plans. Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance per shop. Current plans and prices are published at daedalusautomotive.app/ui/pricing.html. Seat limits apply per plan; we do not charge per repair order or per vehicle.

Founding rate. Shops that subscribe during the founding window receive the founding rate identified at checkout, and that rate will not increase for as long as the subscription remains continuously active on the same account — including if you move to a larger plan tier. If the subscription lapses or is canceled, the founding rate ends and re-subscribing is at then-current pricing. The founding window may close at any time; closure does not affect shops already on the rate.

Renewal and cancellation. Subscriptions renew automatically each month until canceled. You may cancel at any time from Settings → Subscription; access continues through the end of the paid period, after which the account becomes read-only and exportable. We do not delete a shop's records on cancellation — see Section 3.

Failed payments. If a payment fails we will attempt to collect again and notify you. Your account remains fully usable during a grace period stated in the app; after it elapses, the account becomes read-only until payment succeeds.

7-day money-back guarantee. If Daedalus is not right for your shop, email [email protected] within 7 days of your first payment and we will refund that payment in full and help you export your data. Beyond that window, payments already made are non-refundable except where required by law; canceling stops future charges.

Customer card payments (optional). If you enable online payments, your customers pay you through a Stripe connected account that you own and onboard. Funds settle to your account, not ours. You are the merchant of record for those transactions and are responsible for the goods and services sold, for refunds, and for chargebacks. We deduct a per-transaction platform fee, disclosed in Settings → Payments before you enable the feature and itemized there per payment method; pay-over-time methods carry a higher rate than cards because they cost more to process. Your use of that feature is also subject to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement.

Taxes. Prices are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use or similar taxes on your subscription, and for all tax collection and remittance arising from your own sales to your customers.

Price changes. We may change plan pricing with at least 30 days' notice before it applies to your next renewal. The founding-rate commitment above survives such changes.

If you joined through an invitation that stated different pricing, that written arrangement supplements these Terms and controls where it conflicts.

11. Availability and Service Changes

We will make reasonable efforts to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue features. For material reductions in functionality, we will provide at least 30 days' notice.

12. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Daedalus is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, or data. Our total aggregate liability for all claims will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations, so the above may not fully apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to hold Daedalus harmless from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from your use of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, any communications you send through the Service, or any claim relating to your customers or repair work.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any dispute not resolved informally will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States. Before initiating any formal proceeding, please reach out to us at [email protected] — most issues can be sorted out with a conversation.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email and by an in-app notice before the effective date. Continued use of the Service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
