Terms of Service

Last updated: August 6, 2026

These Terms govern your use of LapLift, the motorsport telemetry platform at laplift.app, and the LapLift Sync mobile app (together, the “Service”), operated by LapLift (“we”, “our”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy describes what data we collect and how we handle it, and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

1. Your Data and Our Commitments

This section is the one people ask about most, so it comes first. These are contractual obligations, not descriptions of current practice, and we cannot quietly stop honoring them — see Section 11 on how changes work.

• We will not sell your data. We will not sell, rent, or license your session files, lap data, telemetry, or personal information to any third party, including vehicle manufacturers, insurers, advertisers, and data brokers.
• We will not train models on your data. We will not use your session files, lap data, or account information to train machine-learning models, and we will not supply that data to a third party for their training. Aggregate statistical calculations that power comparison and coaching features — medians, ranks, percentiles — are not model training and are permitted, provided their output never identifies an individual driver, car, or unshared lap.
• We will not advertise to you. The Service does not carry third-party advertising and does not embed third-party ad or tracking networks.
• Your uploads stay yours. You retain all ownership of the session files, lap data, video, and other content you upload (“Your Content”). We claim no ownership in it.
• Private by default. Your Content is private to your account unless you affirmatively choose to share or publish it. Sharing is per-item and reversible.
• You can leave with your data. You may export Your Content at any time, and you may request deletion of your account and all associated data. We process deletion requests within 30 days.

2. The License You Grant Us

To operate the Service we need permission to handle Your Content. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, transmit, display, and create technical derivatives of Your Content (for example: parsing a logger file into channels, computing lap times, generating a synthetic best lap, or rendering a chart) solely for the purposes of:

• Providing the Service to you
• Displaying Your Content to the people you have chosen to share it with
• Computing the anonymous, aggregate statistics described in Section 1
• Maintaining backups and operating the platform

This license exists only to run the Service. It does not permit any use prohibited by Section 1, it is not sublicensable except to infrastructure providers acting on our behalf under contract, and it terminates for a given piece of content when you delete it — other than in backups, which age out on their normal retention cycle.

3. Accounts and Eligibility

You must be 18 or older to use the Service. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your credentials secure, and for activity that occurs under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. One person or team per account; do not share credentials.

4. Sharing and Public Content

The Service lets you share laps with specific people or groups, publish them publicly, and generate public share links. When you publish content it may appear in public views such as track leaderboards and the discovery feed, and it may be viewed by people without a LapLift account.

You are responsible for what you publish. Only publish content you have the right to publish, and be aware that telemetry can reveal information about your vehicle and driving. Unpublishing removes content from public surfaces going forward; it cannot retrieve copies other people already made.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Upload content you do not have the right to upload, or that infringes someone else’s rights
• Attempt to access another user’s account or unshared data
• Scrape, bulk-download, or systematically harvest other users’ content, including public content
• Probe, disrupt, or overload the Service or its infrastructure
• Reverse-engineer the Service except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable by law
• Use the Service to harass others or to distribute unlawful content

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate this section. Where circumstances allow we will tell you why.

6. Availability, Free Access, and Paid Plans

The Service is currently provided free of charge. We may introduce paid plans in the future. If we do, we will give existing users notice before any feature they currently rely on moves behind a paywall, and introducing paid plans does not weaken any commitment in Section 1 — those apply to free and paying users alike.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. The Service may change, and features may be added, modified, or removed. We take reasonable care with backups, but you should keep your own copies of source logger files that matter to you.

7. Termination

You may stop using the Service and request deletion of your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, or discontinue the Service entirely. If we discontinue the Service we will give reasonable advance notice and a window to export your data. Sections 1, 8, 9, and 12 survive termination.

8. Disclaimers — Safety Matters Here

LapLift is an analysis tool, not driving instruction, and not a safety system. Telemetry analysis, lap comparisons, theoretical-best laps, coaching insights, and any other output of the Service are informational only. Motorsport is inherently dangerous. You are solely responsible for how you drive, for your vehicle’s condition and setup, and for compliance with the rules of any event, sanctioning body, or venue.

Do not operate the Service, a phone, or any other device while driving. A theoretical-best lap describes a mathematical combination of past segments; it is not a claim that such a lap is safely achievable.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that telemetry parsing, lap detection, timing, or derived metrics are accurate or suitable for competition scoring.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, vehicle damage, or personal injury arising from your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or one hundred US dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of content you upload or publish, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of the rights of a third party.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. For ordinary changes we will update the date at the top of this page. For any change that materially reduces your rights — and specifically for any change to the commitments in Section 1 — we will notify account holders by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, and the change will not apply retroactively to data you uploaded under the previous version. If you disagree with a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and export or delete your data.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which the operator of LapLift resides, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. We will try to resolve any dispute informally first — email us and we will engage in good faith. If these Terms conflict with a mandatory consumer-protection law that applies to you, that law controls.
