You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, commercially exploit or otherwise use any part of the Services for commercial purposes without prior written consent from OBDedge.

 

3.2.    You are solely responsible for any content you submit, post, transmit or display through the Services (including comments, forum posts, diagnostic logs, images, videos, charts and other materials).

3.3.    When publishing or sharing information (for example charts, diagnostic logs or other vehicle-related reports), you should avoid including personal data of vehicle users or other third parties. Such information may become accessible to other users and OBDedge is not responsible for personal data included in user content except as provided in our Privacy Policy or as required by law.

 

3.4.    OBDedge is not obligated to monitor user content but reserves the right to monitor, review, modify, remove or restrict access to any user content that we believe, in our discretion, violates these Terms or applicable law, or that we deem harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate. We may take any action we deem necessary to protect the Services, our users, or third parties.

4.1.    Registered users may participate in OBDedge’s referral program by generating referral links through the Application. If a new user (“Referee”) follows such a referral link and purchases eligible products or services (for example, OBDedge devices, Pro Pack or Ultimate Pack), the referring registered user (“Referrer”) may be eligible to receive in-app credits.

 

4.2.    Referral credits are subject to validation (including a 30-day validation period during which returns of the purchased products must not occur). The amount of credits awarded per successful referral is stated within the Application and may be amended by OBDedge at any time without prior notice.

 

4.3.    OBDedge reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, suspend or terminate the Refer and Earn program, to change the eligibility criteria, to adjust the amount or type of credits awarded, or to revoke credits in cases of suspected misuse or fraud.

 

4.4.    By participating in the referral program you accept these Terms and any additional rules or conditions set out within the Application concerning the program.

 

 

5.1.    Through the Services you may purchase OBDedge hardware (for example vehicle interfaces and adapters) and software or virtual goods (for example the Applications, Pro or Ultimate subscription plans, credit codes). OBDedge hardware is designed to operate only with Applications. The Services are intended to be used with compatible vehicles and OBDedge devices only; the list of compatible vehicle models (the “Compatibility List”) is published in the website and Applications and is part of these Terms. OBDedge warrants compatibility only for vehicles listed in the Compatibility List. We are not liable for purchases made for incompatible vehicles.

 

5.2.    Activation codes for Pro and Ultimate subscriptions are valid for a period of 365 days from the date of purchase unless stated otherwise at the point of purchase. You may not activate a new Pro or Ultimate subscription more than thirty (30) days before the expiry of your existing subscription. If you renew a Pro or Ultimate subscription within thirty (30) days before its expiry, the new subscription term will be added to the remaining time of your current subscription.

 

5.3.    The following rules apply to Pro and Ultimate subscription interactions:

 

5.3.1.    If you hold an Ultimate subscription and fewer than thirty (30) days remain until its expiry, you may activate a Pro subscription; the Pro subscription will commence only after the Ultimate subscription expires.

 

5.3.2.    If you hold a Pro subscription and activate an Ultimate subscription, the Ultimate subscription will commence immediately. Any unused Pro subscription time will be paused during the active Ultimate subscription and will resume after the Ultimate subscription ends in accordance with your prior balance.

 

5.3.3.    If you activate an Ultimate subscription during an active Pro subscription and later return or cancel the Ultimate subscription in accordance with applicable return policies, your Pro plan balance will be restored to the position it was in prior to Ultimate activation, to the extent technically possible.

 

5.4.    Upon expiry of an Ultimate subscription:

 

5.4.1.    If you had an active Pro subscription prior to obtaining the Ultimate subscription, your Pro subscription will be reactivated for the remaining period it had prior to Ultimate activation (subject to these terms and to applicable adjustments).

 

5.4.2.    If you did not have a Pro subscription before Ultimate activation, the Basic plan (free tier) will apply.

 

5.4.3.    If your Pro subscription has also expired, the Basic plan shall apply automatically.

 

5.5.    Ultimate subscriptions include a credit allocation to enable certain Services. You receive 10,000 credits per 12-month period for each Ultimate subscription. For multi-year Ultimate plans, credits are allocated in full at activation. Unused credits do not carry over to subsequent annual cycles. If you deplete your credits before the end of the 12-month period, you may either wait until the next annual allocation or purchase additional credits if available. OBDedge reserves the right to modify the number, usage or allocation of credits provided to Ultimate subscription holders.

 

5.6.    The Lifetime VAG Pro Plan is a specific offering that applies only within the OBDedge VAG Application and grants access to certain Pro features for Volkswagen Group vehicles. “Lifetime” for the VAG Pro Plan means for as long as the OBDedge VAG Application is supported by OBDedge; OBDedge reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Lifetime VAG Pro Plan at any time and to change its scope or availability. The Lifetime VAG Pro Plan is not transferable to the main OBDedge Application.

 

5.7.    The Application is compatible with devices running Android 8.0 or later and with iOS versions as specified for each Application (for example iOS 14 for OBDedge VAG and iOS 16.6 for OBDedge) or later. A stable internet connection may be required for certain Services and features. You are responsible for any fees or charges associated with your internet connection or mobile data plan; OBDedge is not liable for such costs.

5.8.    Information about pricing, payment methods, delivery, warranty, and return policies is available in the relevant sections of the Site and Applications and forms part of these Terms. Prices shown at the point of sale are the authoritative prices for purchase. If you receive defective hardware, you may be entitled to return it for repair, replacement or refund in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws and the provisions below.

 

5.9.    Customers located outside the EU are responsible for any VAT, customs duties, import taxes or other charges required under their local laws; OBDedge is not responsible for or liable for such charges.

 

 

6.1.    You may return hardware (for example OBDedge devices and adapters) that is in good condition within 14 working days of receipt for any reason, provided it is returned in its original packaging and shows no signs of use. Shipping costs for returns are non-refundable unless otherwise required by mandatory consumer law. The right to return hardware within this period does not affect your statutory consumer rights under EU law or other applicable mandatory consumer protection laws.

 

6.2.    Virtual goods such as Pro or Ultimate subscription plans may be returned within 30 days of purchase provided you have not used any features of the subscription. If you have used at least one feature of a subscription, that subscription cannot be returned. Unused credit activation codes may be returned within 30 days of purchase; used codes are non-refundable.

 

6.3.    OBDedge uses third party subscription management and analytics providers (including Adapty.io) to track and process refunds issued by external platforms (for example Apple App Store or Google Play). If a refund is confirmed by such platforms, OBDedge may revoke access to the refunded subscription or virtual goods, deduct previously granted credits, and—where applicable—apply a negative credit balance or other adjustments to your account to preserve consistency with refunded amounts and to prevent misuse. By using the Services you agree that refunds processed by third party platforms may result in adjustments to your account and access. Detailed instructions for returns and refunds are available on the Site and in the Applications.

 

6.4.    Refunds are subject to verification and to the policies of the payment or platform provider used for the original purchase. OBDedge reserves the right to refuse refunds where you have breached these Terms or where there is evidence of abuse, fraud or misuse of the Services.

 

 

7.1.    Certain functions of the Applications and Services interact with a vehicle’s electronic and technical systems. Use of OBDedge hardware or software may affect the operation, safety or performance of a vehicle. By using the Services you assume full responsibility for and all risks associated with any impact on the operation, safety or performance of your vehicle resulting from the use of OBDedge hardware or software, including but not limited to effects on braking, airbag, safety or other safety-related systems.

 

7.2.    Any AI-based functionalities or features made available within the Application (including recommendations, diagnostics or other outputs generated by machine learning systems) are provided on an “as is” basis. OBDedge expressly disclaims all liability for the performance, accuracy, reliability, completeness or suitability of AI-generated recommendations, diagnostics or actions. AI features may change, be updated, or be removed at any time without notice. You assume all risk associated with their use.

 

7.3.    By purchasing OBDedge hardware, you acknowledge that such goods are certified with regulatory markings and standards where applicable (for example CE, FCC, KC, UKCA, MIC and IC) and are compliant with the legislation of the certifying country. It remains your responsibility to ensure that the acquisition, importation and use of the goods complies with the laws and requirements of your own country. OBDedge is not liable for any consequences, including penalties or restrictions, arising from non-compliance with local laws or import rules.

7.5.    The Volkswagen Group provides SFD directly. OBDedge is not responsible for interruptions, limitations, malfunctions or outages of the SFD service and disclaims liability for consequences arising from such events. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes to SFD availability or terms and to request your acceptance of any updated terms where required.

 

7.6.    Misuse of SFD or other Services (for example exceeding permitted usage limits, making invalid requests, breaching SFD terms, or engaging in fraudulent activity) may lead to temporary or permanent account suspension, internal investigation, removal of access, or referral to law enforcement authorities. Unlawful activities such as tampering with control units, performing unauthorized modifications without the vehicle owner’s consent, or other criminal conduct will result in immediate account blocking and may be reported to appropriate investigative authorities.
