Terms of Use for CarQR

Effective Date:** 17.05.2026 **Website:** [carqrapp.com](https://carqrapp.com) **Governing Law: Laws of the Republic of Türkiye

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern access to and use of CarQR, including the mobile application, website, public QR alert pages, vehicle alert services, premium features, physical QR products, car scent packages, support channels, and related services.

By using CarQR, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Service Description

CarQR allows vehicle owners to create QR-based vehicle alert pages. By default, a third party may send a predefined alert without seeing the owner's phone number. An owner may optionally display only a vehicle-specific contact number they separately enter and explicitly consent to publish on the public internet.

CarQR does not guarantee that alerts will be sent, received, read, acted upon, or resolved.

CarQR is not:

• An emergency service
• A replacement for emergency authorities
• A vehicle security system
• A theft prevention system
• A towing or roadside assistance provider
• An insurance service
• A law enforcement tool
• A guaranteed messaging platform

In urgent or dangerous situations, users must contact local emergency services, law enforcement, property management, parking authorities, or other appropriate parties.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If you use CarQR on behalf of a company, fleet, organization, rental business, parking operator, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

3. User Accounts

Users are responsible for:

• Providing accurate account information
• Keeping login credentials secure
• Maintaining access to their email/device
• Enabling notification permissions where required
• All activity under their account

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, create legal risk, abuse the service, or harm users or third parties.

4. Vehicle and QR Use

Users may only create QR codes for vehicles they own, operate, manage, lease, or are otherwise legally authorized to register.

Users must not:

• Register a vehicle without authorization
• Place a QR code on someone else's vehicle without permission
• Use QR codes to impersonate another person or business
• Use QR pages for harassment, stalking, threats, spam, advertising, or fraud
• Attempt to identify or expose vehicle owner contact information
• Circumvent rate limits, CAPTCHA, security checks, or abuse-prevention measures
• Scrape, clone, reverse engineer, or misuse QR pages

We may disable QR codes, block alerts, remove vehicles, suspend accounts, or report abuse where necessary.

5. Third-Party Alert Senders

A person scanning a CarQR code may send only lawful, accurate, and relevant vehicle-related alerts.

Alert senders must not submit:

• Threats
• Harassment
• Hate speech
• Illegal content
• Advertising
• Fraudulent messages
• Personal data of third parties
• False claims
• Malicious links
• Repeated spam alerts

We may rate-limit, block, log, or investigate abusive submissions.

6. Plans and Features

CarQR may offer multiple plans, including:

• Free QR
• Premium Scent

Features, limits, availability, physical benefits, QR customization, alert history, support levels, and business tools may vary by plan, country, platform, and operational availability.

We may change plan names, features, pricing, eligibility, and availability at any time, subject to applicable law.

Features described as "coming soon", "planned", "beta", "experimental", or "business-only" are not guaranteed and may never be released.

7. Subscriptions and Purchases

CarQR may offer subscriptions, one-time purchases, digital features, physical products, or plan-based entitlements.

Subscriptions may renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date through the relevant app store, account settings, or purchase platform.

Users are responsible for managing cancellations. Deleting the app may not cancel a subscription.

Subscription access may be revoked or limited if payment fails, subscription expires, payment is refunded, or abuse is detected.

Where purchases are made through Google Play, Apple App Store, or another third-party platform, that platform's payment, cancellation, refund, and billing rules may apply.

8. Physical Products

Physical products may include QR stickers, QR cards, car scents, premium kits, replacement items, or promotional items.

Physical product availability may depend on:

• Country
• Delivery address
• Stock
• Fulfillment capacity
• Operational availability

• Payment status
• Fraud or abuse checks

We may substitute packaging, scent type, material, or design with a comparable alternative where necessary.

Users are responsible for entering accurate shipping information. We are not responsible for delays, losses, failed delivery, customs issues, additional fees, or incorrect addresses caused by user error or third-party delivery issues, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

9. Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

Refunds are handled according to:

• Applicable consumer law
• App store rules
• Payment platform rules
• Our Refund, Return, Shipping and Subscription Policy
• Product type
• Whether the item is digital, physical, customized, opened, used, shipped, delivered, or already activated

Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights that cannot be waived by contract.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, unless mandatory consumer protection laws require otherwise.

For disputes arising from consumer transactions, the Consumer Arbitration Committees** (Tüketici Hakem Heyetleri) at the consumer's place of residence or where the transaction took place have jurisdiction, within the monetary limits announced annually by the Ministry of Trade; above those limits, the **Consumer Courts** (Tüketici Mahkemeleri) have jurisdiction. Consumers may also file via the **Consumer Information System (TÜBİS) on e-Devlet. For non-consumer disputes, the courts and enforcement offices of Türkiye have jurisdiction.

If you use CarQR from the United States, nothing in these Terms waives any non-waivable rights you have under the consumer-protection and privacy laws of your state of residence or under U.S. federal law, and such mandatory rights continue to apply to you.

19. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes may be notified through the app, website, email, or other reasonable means.

Continued use after changes means acceptance where permitted by law.
