Drive Zone
UK zone alerts and reminders
App EULA
This page mirrors the app-facing EULA from the iOS build. Website-specific browser terms are published separately.
At a glance
The short practical summary before the full legal wording.
• Drive Zone is a reminder and decision-support tool, not an official charging authority.
• Drivers remain responsible for checking official rules, vehicle details, payments, exemptions, penalties, and fines.
• Alerts, sync, and DVLA-backed lookups can be delayed, unavailable, incomplete, or wrong.
• Official authority pages and records remain the final source of truth.
1. Agreement and scope
Who these terms are between and what they cover.
These terms are the End User Licence Agreement between you and I Squared R Consulting Ltd, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for Drive Zone and its content. These terms govern your use of Drive Zone on Apple-branded products you own or control, subject to Apple's usage rules.
If there is any conflict between these terms and non-excludable rights you have under applicable consumer law, your consumer rights continue to apply.
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you where Apple's standard App Store position allows.
2. Your licence to use the app
The permission we give you.
• We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Drive Zone in object-code form on compatible Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by Apple's usage rules.
• Where Apple's usage rules allow it, Drive Zone may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• You must not copy, resell, rent, sublicence, reverse engineer, or misuse the app except where the law clearly allows it.
• You must comply with applicable law, Apple's App Store rules, and any third-party terms that apply to your device or network use.
3. What Drive Zone does and does not do
The app is a driving aid, not an official charging authority.
Drive Zone is designed to help you notice when you may have entered a charging zone, keep a record of those entries, optionally sync selected records across your own devices, and review zone and vehicle information more easily.
The map view is for planning and review while stationary. It does not provide directions or route guidance and is unsuitable for use while driving.
Drive Zone is not an official source of legal, regulatory, or enforcement advice. It does not replace official charging authority websites, DVLA records, or legally binding notices.
The app may use local zone data, device permissions, optional iCloud sync, and optional DVLA lookup data to help assess a vehicle, but those assessments are informational and may be incomplete, outdated, delayed, or wrong.
4. Your responsibilities
What you still need to do as the driver or vehicle user.
• You are responsible for checking official vehicle details, registration information, emissions standards, exemptions, and any other compliance facts that matter to your journey.
• You are responsible for checking the official rules of any charging zone, including whether the zone applies to your vehicle, the hours of operation, the payment window, the amount due, and any exemptions or discounts.
• You are responsible for paying any required charges, fees, tolls, congestion charges, clean-air charges, penalties, fines, or enforcement costs in full and on time.
• You are responsible for reviewing the app's history, alerts, and vehicle information and not relying on a single app notification or status badge.
• You are responsible for manually reviewing your position if synced records or DVLA-backed details are missing, stale, or unavailable.
• You must use the app safely and lawfully. Do not use or interact with the map view while driving; it does not provide directions or route guidance and is unsuitable for that purpose.
• You must not use automated, fraudulent or abusive methods to view, click or otherwise interact with adverts.
5. Alerts, data, and service limitations
The app can help, but it cannot guarantee a result.
• Alerts can be delayed, missed, duplicated, or suppressed by device settings, operating system behaviour, connectivity issues, background execution limits, battery-saving behaviour, reduced accuracy, or denied permissions.
• Optional iCloud sync, Apple iCloud or CloudKit services, any legacy migrated-account cleanup path, the vehicle lookup relay, and the DVLA service may each be unavailable, unhealthy, degraded, or delayed independently of the app itself.
• Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring, Remote Config, Google Mobile Ads, UMP, consent messages and advertiser services may be unavailable, delayed, restricted or changed independently of Drive Zone.
• Synced records may arrive late, fail to refresh, or be temporarily unavailable on one or more devices.
• Vehicle data returned from a DVLA lookup may be unavailable, incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate, and some fields may still need manual confirmation.
• Relay readiness checks can pass and later degrade, or fail and later recover, without warning between checks.
• Zone data and payment information can change after an app release or after the data was last updated.
• Opening a payment link or official site does not mean a payment has been made. You remain responsible for completing the payment and checking any receipt or confirmation.
6. Premium and subscriptions
How optional paid access works.
Drive Zone offers eligible adults a choice of free core access with Google adverts after consenting to the basic device access needed for non-personalised serving, or ad-free Premium through Apple's App Store. Personalised adverts require separate permissions; declining personalisation or Apple tracking never triggers the paid choice. Existing free adults receive 30 days' notice from their first launch with this change before the access choice takes effect. A completed refusal or withdrawal of basic ad access then pauses zone monitoring and entry alerts until the adult reviews Google choices or activates Premium. Saved data and privacy, support and subscription controls remain available. Ordinary offline conditions or unavailable ad inventory do not prevent access after a valid free-tier choice. Previously usable adults can continue temporarily during a technical consent or StoreKit outage for at most 24 hours; a recorded refusal never receives this allowance.
• Premium features require an active entitlement recognised by the current app build and Apple's App Store framework.
• An active Premium subscription, active Premium trial, or billing grace period removes advertising from Drive Zone.
• Tip Jar offers optional, repeatable one-off consumable purchases through Apple's App Store. Tips do not unlock or extend Premium, alter zone monitoring or alerts, or pay a charging authority. The price is shown by the App Store before each purchase. Apple handles payment and any applicable refund request under its purchase rules.
• Advert formats, frequency and placement may change, but the active Premium, trial and billing-grace ad-free benefit will not be weakened.
• Advert content and advertiser destinations are provided by third parties. Their appearance in Drive Zone is not an endorsement, and their content, offers, availability, transactions and privacy practices are governed by their own terms and notices.
• Apple handles billing, payment processing, renewals, cancellation, refunds where applicable, and restore flows under Apple's own terms, policies, and purchase systems.
• Where a free trial is offered, it applies only on the terms shown in the App Store at the time of sign-up and will convert into a paid subscription or renewal cycle unless you cancel in time through Apple.
• Subscription prices, billing periods, trial availability, and the exact Premium feature set can change before a purchase, renewal, or future release, subject to Apple's rules and any mandatory consumer rights.
7. Service access and entitlement changes
What happens when Premium access is unavailable or ends.
• If Premium access ends, expires, is cancelled, is revoked, or cannot be confirmed, Premium-only features may stop working immediately or after the next entitlement refresh.
• When an eligible adult has completed the basic Google ad-access choice, the free core can continue without Premium, including during ordinary offline or no-fill periods. Premium-only features such as iCloud sync, premium lookups, achievements, customisations or other paid extras may become unavailable according to the entitlement state recognised by the app. After any remaining 30-day existing-user notice, an adult who refuses basic ad access must choose Premium for core access. Under-13 and unresolved-age users, and teenagers who refuse ad access, retain free ad-free core access.
• Loss of Premium access does not by itself mean that locally stored data is deleted from your device, although some Premium-managed or shared services may stop refreshing, syncing, or being editable in the same way.
• We are not responsible for entitlement delays, restore failures, billing-state mismatches, or App Store account issues caused by Apple systems, device state, connectivity, or delayed receipt processing.
8. No warranty and liability limits
These limits apply to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Drive Zone is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not promise that the app will always be available, uninterrupted, accurate, complete, or fit for your particular purpose.
We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent any warranty cannot be effectively disclaimed.
If Drive Zone fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price paid for the app to you, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever in relation to Drive Zone, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty will be our sole responsibility.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any mandatory consumer rights.
Subject to that, I Squared R Consulting Ltd will not be liable for missed or late alerts, incorrect vehicle classifications, incorrect compliance assessments, unpaid charges, penalties, fines, enforcement action, loss of profits, loss of business, or indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of or reliance on Drive Zone.
In particular, you remain solely responsible for checking official details of your vehicle, your legal obligations in each zone, and whether any payment, charge, fine, or penalty is due.
9. Apple-specific terms
How Apple's role fits in.
• We, not Apple, are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for Drive Zone to the extent required by these terms or applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the app.
• Any claims relating to Drive Zone or your possession and use of Drive Zone, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, are our responsibility, not Apple's, except where the law says otherwise.
• If a third party claims that Drive Zone or your possession and use of Drive Zone infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that intellectual property infringement claim.
10. Ownership and permitted use
What remains ours, yours, or subject to third-party source terms.
Drive Zone, including its software, branding, layout, original copy, and original presentation materials, is owned by I Squared R Consulting Ltd or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property law.
Drive Zone may also include or refer to public-sector source materials, official links, and third-party information that remain subject to their own source licences, attribution conditions, reuse rules, and official terms.
• You may use Drive Zone and your own exported data for lawful personal purposes.
• You must not copy, republish, scrape, redistribute, commercialise, or create derivative products from the app, its branding, or non-user content except where these terms, applicable law, or the relevant source licence clearly allow it.
• Nothing in these terms gives you ownership of the app, the Drive Zone name, or any publisher-controlled intellectual property.
11. Export and legal compliance
Statements required for lawful use.
• You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a terrorist-supporting country.
• You also represent and warrant that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
12. Changes to these terms
How updates to the EULA are published and take effect.
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect product changes, legal or regulatory developments, security requirements, service changes, or other operational needs.
• The current dated terms are available through links in the app and on the public Drive Zone EULA page.
• The published last-updated date shown with the terms is the operative publication date for that version.
• To the extent allowed by law, continuing to use Drive Zone after revised terms take effect means you accept the updated terms.
13. Ending the licence
When the licence ends.
This licence continues until it is ended by you or us. You can end it at any time by stopping use of the app and deleting it from your devices.
We may end or restrict the licence if you materially breach these terms or use the app unlawfully. Sections that are meant to continue, including liability, legal rights, and governing law sections, will continue after termination.
14. Governing law and contact
The legal framework for these terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, except that you keep the benefit of any mandatory consumer protections that apply to you under the law of the country where you live.
If you are a consumer, you may bring legal proceedings in the courts that the law allows for consumers. If you are not a consumer, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction unless the law requires otherwise.
