Terms of Use
1. Agreement
By using PickleMileage (“the app”), you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
PickleMileage is a product of Pickle Soup Games LLC. Questions: support@picklemileage.com.
2. The service
The app helps you record business mileage and related location data on your device. Optional features include email sign-in, a one-time Premium purchase, higher map lookup limits, and cloud backup. Features may change as we improve the product.
3. Accounts and Premium
- You are responsible for the email account you use to sign in.
- Optional Premium is a one-time payment (currently $15 USD introductory, regularly $29 USD) for life for that signed-in account: unlimited saved locations, higher daily address/route limits, and optional cloud backup. The introductory price is offered through December 15, 2026.
- Premium is not a subscription. Taxes may apply where required by Stripe/your location.
- We may revoke access for fraud, chargebacks, or abuse of shared mapping capacity.
4. Refund policy
You may request a full refund of your Premium purchase within 14 days of the purchase date. Email support@picklemileage.com with your receipt and signed-in email. After we refund you, Premium access for that account will be removed.
After 14 days, purchases are generally non-refundable. If checkout charged you but Premium did not appear within a reasonable time, or if you were charged twice for the same Premium purchase, email us with your receipt and signed-in email. We will investigate and, where appropriate, refund or manually grant Premium.
Nothing in this policy limits any non-waivable consumer rights under applicable law (including EU/UK cooling-off rules that may apply to some digital purchases).
5. Intellectual property and ownership
Pickle Soup Games LLC owns PickleMileage, including the software, design, branding, documentation, and all related intellectual property. Using the app, creating an account, or purchasing Premium does not transfer ownership of the software or any of our IP to you. Premium is a paid license to use certain features—it is not a sale of the software.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app as provided. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works of the app except as expressly allowed by law.
You own your data. You retain ownership of the business records and other content you enter. We do not claim ownership of that data. If you use optional cloud backup or other hosted features, you grant us a limited license to store and process that data solely as needed to provide those features.
The app is licensed for use as is, without any warranty that it will meet your needs or that data will never be lost (see Section 10).
6. Your data and backups
You own the business records you enter (see Section 5). Records stay on your device by default. Browser storage can be cleared or lost (especially on mobile). Download a JSON backup regularly. Cloud backup is optional, replace-all on restore, and not a substitute for your own file copies.
7. No tax, legal, or professional advice
Mileage rates, deductions, and reports are estimates and helpers only. The app does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. Confirm figures with a qualified professional and keep whatever documentation your tax authority requires.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Abuse, scrape, or overwhelm mapping, auth, or backup endpoints
- Attempt unauthorized access to other users’ accounts or backups
- Use the app for unlawful purposes
- Reverse engineer the service except where such restriction is prohibited by law
9. Third-party services
Sign-in (Clerk), payments (Stripe), hosting/storage (Netlify), mapping (Geoapify and optionally LocationIQ / OpenStreetMap data), and optional operator email (Resend) are provided by third parties under their own terms.
Mapping features (address search and routing) use those third-party providers under their own terms. Distances the app calculates are estimates from those providers’ routing models. They may not reflect the distance you actually drive because of detours, construction, road closures, traffic routing differences, temporary conditions, vehicle path choices, or provider data errors. Geocoded addresses and coordinates can also be incomplete or incorrect. You are responsible for reviewing each trip, using manual distance entry when an estimate is wrong, and keeping whatever records your tax authority requires. Mileage rates, deductions, and reports in the app remain estimates only and are not tax, legal, or accounting advice (see Section 7).
10. Disclaimer of warranties — as is
The app is provided “as is” and “as available.” You use it at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or virus-free / malware-free operation, accuracy of mileage estimates or reports, or that stored data will never be lost. We do not ensure that the software will operate without defects, security issues, or harmful components introduced by third parties, your device, or the network environment.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of the app. Except where prohibited by law, you are not entitled to compensation from us for any loss, damage, downtime, data loss, virus or malware incident, or other harm related to your use of (or inability to use) the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app or a Premium purchase is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for Premium in the 12 months before the claim or (b) $15 USD.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the app, your business records, or your violation of these Terms, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, USA, without regard to conflict of law rules, except that mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence may still apply.
14. Changes
We may update these Terms. The effective date will change when we do. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
