Highway Copilot

Terms of Service

Last Updated: November 4, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Highway Copilot mobile application and related services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Highway Copilot Technologies, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("Highway Copilot," "we," "our," or "us").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Highway Copilot application or any of our services (collectively, the "Services"), you: (1) acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms; (2) represent that you are at least 13 years of age and, if you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms; and (3) accept these Terms and agree that you are legally bound by them. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services and immediately delete the application from your devices.

Users Under 18. The Services are not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 may not use them. If you are between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. A parent or guardian who permits a minor to use the Services, including through Apple Family Sharing or a similar app store feature, agrees to these Terms on the minor's behalf and is responsible for the minor's use of the Services and for any purchases made.

1. Scope of Services

Highway Copilot provides an AI-powered highway exit recommendation service for your personal use. The Services include:

We may change, modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, with or without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability.

2. Acceptance of Terms and Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date above and, where practicable, by providing notice through the application. Your continued use of the Services after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Services and delete the application.

3. No Account Required

You can use the Services without creating an account with us. A Subscription is tied to the Apple ID or Google account you purchase it with, through the applicable app store, not to an account with Highway Copilot. If we introduce accounts in the future, we will update these Terms before they launch.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at our sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice.

4. Safe Operation and Driving Responsibilities

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION OF THESE TERMS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

4.1 Not a Substitute for Driver Judgment. The information provided through the Services, including exit recommendations, scores, AI-generated descriptions, and turn-by-turn navigation directions, is intended as a convenience tool only. It is NOT intended to replace your own judgment, real-world observation, road signs, traffic signals, or any other information available to you while driving. You must always exercise independent judgment and pay full attention to actual road and traffic conditions.

4.2 No Interaction While Driving. You are strictly prohibited from non-verbally interacting with the Services (including tapping, scrolling, or typing) while actively operating a vehicle. You may only interact with the Services in a non-verbal manner when your vehicle is safely stopped and parked in accordance with applicable traffic laws. Verbal interaction (voice commands) is permitted only to the extent allowed by applicable law in your jurisdiction.

4.3 Navigation Directions. Turn-by-turn navigation within the Services is provided by third-party mapping services (Apple Maps and/or Google Maps). Navigation directions may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for your vehicle type or current conditions. You must always obey posted road signs, traffic signals, and applicable traffic laws, even when they conflict with navigation directions provided through the Services.

4.4 AI Recommendations Are Not Guarantees. Exit scores, ratings, and AI-generated descriptions are algorithmic recommendations based on available data. They do not guarantee the quality, safety, availability, or suitability of any location, business, or exit. Conditions at any exit or business may differ materially from what is described in the Services. Business hours, availability, pricing, quality, and safety conditions may change without notice.

4.5 Licensed Drivers. If you use the Services while operating a vehicle, you must hold a valid driver's license or learner's permit for that vehicle and comply with any conditions or restrictions on it, including restrictions on the use of mobile devices that apply to new or young drivers in your jurisdiction. Passengers may use the Services without a driver's license, subject to the age requirements above.

4.6 Your Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your own conduct while driving and for complying with all applicable laws and regulations. Highway Copilot assumes no responsibility for any decisions you make based on the information provided through the Services.

5. Location Data and Privacy

The Services require access to your device's location to provide exit recommendations and navigation. Our collection, use, and disclosure of your location data and other personal information is governed by our separate Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Services, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.

6. AI and Third-Party Services

6.1 AI-Powered Features. The Services use artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, including third-party AI services (such as OpenAI), to generate exit recommendations and descriptions. AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information. You acknowledge that AI-generated recommendations are not human-reviewed and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision.

6.2 Third-Party Mapping and Data. The Services integrate with third-party mapping services (Apple Maps, Google Maps) and use data from third-party sources (including but not limited to OpenStreetMap, weather data providers, and business listing services). We do not control these third-party services and assume no responsibility for the accuracy, availability, or reliability of any third-party data or services. Your use of third-party services through the application is subject to those services' respective terms and conditions.

6.3 Third-Party Links and Content. The Services may contain links to third-party websites, businesses, or services. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party websites or services. Inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement.

7. Subscriptions and Payment

7.1 Free and Premium Tiers. The Services may be offered in both free and premium subscription tiers. Premium features require a paid subscription ("Subscription").

7.2 Subscription Terms. Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected at the time of purchase). Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

7.3 Payment. Payment is processed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store. All payments are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable app store. Refunds are handled in accordance with the policies of the applicable app store.

7.4 Price Changes. We may change Subscription prices. A price change takes effect no earlier than the start of your next Subscription period. The applicable app store notifies you before it does and, where the app store or applicable law requires it, asks for your consent; if you do not consent, your Subscription will not renew at the new price. You can cancel at any time as described in Section 7.5.

7.5 Cancellation. You may cancel your Subscription at any time through the applicable app store's subscription management settings. Upon cancellation, you will continue to have access to Premium features through the end of your current billing period. No refunds or credits will be provided for partial billing periods.

7.6 Free Trials. A Subscription may begin with a free trial, offered at the app store's discretion and only once per eligible account. When the trial ends, your Subscription begins and you are charged the Subscription price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a Subscription.

8. User Content and Feedback

8.1 Your Content. The Services may allow you to submit feedback, reviews, ratings, or other content ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content, but by submitting it, you grant Highway Copilot a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable license (with the right to sublicense) to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, display, and distribute your User Content in connection with the Services.

8.2 Prohibited Content. You agree not to submit User Content that is: (a) unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or harmful; (b) infringing on any third party's intellectual property rights; (c) false, misleading, or deceptive; (d) spam, advertising, or solicitation; or (e) malicious code or material that could damage the Services.

8.3 Feedback. Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide regarding the Services may be used by Highway Copilot without any obligation to you.
