HEAR WHAT YOUR ENGINE IS TELLING YOU

EngineEar AI is the provider of the EngineEar AI mobile application. For privacy-related matters, contact us at: mail@alceitlabs.com

• Audio recordings: Captured locally on your device and transmitted to our backend for analysis. Audio is deleted immediately after processing and is never stored permanently on our servers.
• Anonymous device UUID: A randomly generated identifier created on first launch. Stored in EncryptedSharedPreferences on your device and not linked to any personal identity.
• Usage metadata: We track analysis count per time window (10/day, 20/week, 50/month) and subscription status for enforcing usage limits.

Legal basis: Article 46 GDPR — we use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) with OpenAI for transfers outside the EEA.

Audio is transmitted to OpenAI via HTTPS exclusively for analysis and is deleted immediately after the API response. No audio is retained by OpenAI when using the API in this way.

Payments are handled entirely by Google. EngineEar AI receives only a purchase token — we do not receive or store any payment card data.

Analysis results are stored locally on your device via our Room database (internal storage only). There is no cloud synchronisation of analysis results.

Usage limits are enforced server-side:

• 10 analyses per day
• 20 analyses per week
• 50 analyses per month

• Grant: Consent is requested via an in-app modal before the first analysis.
• Revocation: You can revoke consent at any time in Settings → Revoke Consent. Revocation stops all future audio transfers.

These Terms of Service govern the use of the EngineEar AI mobile application (the "App") provided by EngineEar AI (the "Provider"). By installing, registering, or using the App, you accept these Terms in full.

Contact: mail@alceitlabs.com

EngineEar AI provides an AI-based analysis of engine sounds recorded via your smartphone. The App returns a structured report with possible causes, an urgency level, and recommended next steps.

The analysis is informational only and does not replace professional diagnosis by a qualified mechanic. The Provider assumes no liability for damage, loss, or costs resulting from actions taken based on App output.

The App offers paid subscriptions (weekly or monthly) processed exclusively through Google Play Billing. Prices, billing periods, and renewal terms are shown in the Google Play purchase dialog before you confirm the purchase.

• Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal via your Google Play account.
• Cancellation: You can cancel anytime under Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Access remains until the end of the current paid period.
• Refunds: Refunds are governed by Google Play's refund policy.
• Consumable purchases (Boostpack): One-time purchases that grant additional analyses. Boostpacks require an active subscription and are non-refundable once consumed.

Usage is limited per subscription plan. Limits are enforced server-side and reset automatically at the start of each period (daily, weekly, monthly, all UTC).

• Weekly plan: 10 analyses per day, 15 analyses per week.
• Monthly plan: 10 analyses per day, 15 analyses per week, 50 analyses per month.
• Boostpack: 20 additional analyses per purchase.

• Use the App only for its intended purpose — the analysis of engine sounds on vehicles you own or have permission to record.
• Do not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or bypass any technical protection measures (including usage limits or authentication).
• Do not use the App for unlawful, fraudulent, or malicious purposes.
• Do not abuse the service through automated requests, bots, or by sharing subscription access across multiple unauthorised devices.

All rights to the App, including software, AI models, text, graphics, and branding, remain with the Provider. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for the duration of your subscription and in accordance with these Terms.

The Provider strives to keep the App available but does not guarantee uninterrupted service. Maintenance windows, third-party service outages (e.g. Google Play or AI providers), or force majeure may cause temporary unavailability.

The Provider may modify features, subscription plans, or these Terms with reasonable notice. Material changes affecting your rights will be communicated in-app or via the Google Play listing.

The App is provided "as is." AI-generated analyses can be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. Always consult a qualified mechanic before making repair decisions or continuing to operate a vehicle with suspected mechanical problems.

The Provider's liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. For simple negligence, liability is limited to breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties) and capped at foreseeable, contract-typical damages. Statutory liability for injury to life, body, or health, and under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

You may terminate use of the App at any time by cancelling your subscription and uninstalling the App. The Provider may suspend or terminate your access in case of material breach of these Terms (e.g. abuse, fraud, circumvention of technical measures) with immediate effect.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.
