Terms of Service

LAST UPDATED SEPTEMBER 3, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Racer (“we”) covering the Racer iOS app, this website, and everything they connect to (together, the “Service”). You accept them by tapping “I agree” in the app or by using the Service.

Racer is a timing game for drives you already make. It never asks you to drive faster than the law allows, and it is built so that speeding cannot help you: runs that could only have been driven illegally are voided. You are the driver. Every decision behind the wheel is yours, and every law applies to you exactly as if Racer did not exist.

1. WHO MAY USE RACER

You must hold a valid driver's licence to record a drive as the driver, or be a passenger in a vehicle whose driver has one. You must be at least 16 years old; if you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms on your behalf. You may not use the Service if you have been banned from it.

2. RULES OF THE ROAD

These are conditions of use, not suggestions. By racing you agree that you will:

Obey every traffic law everywhere you drive: speed limits, signals, signs, right of way, distracted-driving rules, and every other rule of the road.
Never handle the phone while the vehicle is moving. Set the destination and start the race while stopped. Racer finishes the run at the destination on its own. Search and settings lock while the car is moving.
Never treat a race, a record, a rival, or a leaderboard as a reason to speed, run a light, take a risk, or drive aggressively. A better time comes from a better route and fewer wasted stops. That is the entire game.
Never race with other vehicles on the road. Racer's rivals are ghosts: recordings of drives made at other times. Agreeing with another driver to race on a public road is a crime in most places regardless of what any app does.
Accept voided runs. A run showing sustained speed above 85 mph, or one faster than any legal drive of the route could be, is voided automatically. It is not a record, does not upload, does not rank and does not count against a rival. We may void, remove or refuse any run or record, and suspend or terminate any account, that we believe was not driven lawfully.

If you cannot agree to all of this, do not use Racer.

3. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Driving is dangerous. Using any app in a vehicle adds risk. You acknowledge that you understand these risks, that you are choosing to use the Service voluntarily, and that you assume all risk of injury, death, property damage, fines, citations and other harm arising from your driving and your use of the Service, whether or not that harm was foreseeable. Racer does not control where, when, or how you drive.

4. NOT A NAVIGATION OR SAFETY PRODUCT

Routes and estimates come from Apple Maps and are shown for context. Racer does not provide turn-by-turn guidance, road, traffic or hazard warnings, speed-limit data, or any safety function. Timing and position are only as accurate as your phone's GPS and may be wrong.

5. YOUR ACCOUNT

An anonymous account is created on first launch. You may attach it to Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for activity on your account and for keeping your device secure. You may delete your account and all associated data at any time from Garage → Account; deletion is immediate and permanent.

6. YOUR CONTENT

Call signs, profile pictures, car configurations, photos you submit for 3D generation, and recorded runs are your content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, process, display and transmit that content as needed to run the Service (for example, showing your call sign and time on a leaderboard, or sending a photo to our 3D-generation provider). Call signs and pictures must not be unlawful, hateful, sexual, harassing, impersonating, or infringing. We may remove content and suspend accounts that break these rules. Other racers can report you from any leaderboard.

7. CHALLENGES AND LEADERBOARDS

A challenge link carries your recorded run, including its GPS trail, to anyone who enters its code in the app. Do not share a link unless you are comfortable with that. Leaderboards are public within the app. We may reset, cap, filter or discontinue boards at any time.

8. PHOTO-TO-3D GENERATION

Generated cars are produced by a third-party model and may be inaccurate or fail. Only submit photos you have the right to use. Generation is rate-limited and may be withdrawn at any time. Generated models are for use inside Racer.

9. OUR PROPERTY

The Service, its design, code, wordmark and content (other than your content) belong to Racer or its licensors. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, scrape, or resell the Service, or interfere with its operation or other users.

10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Racer and its owners, employees and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, injury, death, fines or property damage, arising out of or related to your driving or your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the past twelve months or fifty US dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits; in that case they apply to the maximum extent permitted.

12. INDEMNITY

You will defend and indemnify Racer against claims, damages and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your driving, your content, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

13. TERMINATION

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for any breach of these terms, for unlawful driving, or to protect the Service and its users. Sections 3, 6, 9 to 12 and 14 survive termination.

14. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which Racer is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the courts of that state, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in these terms limits any consumer rights you have under the law of your home country.

15. CHANGES

We may update these terms. If a change is material, the app will ask you to accept the new terms before your next race. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept them.
