Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 8, 2026

Provider: EveryLastMile (“EveryLastMile,” “we,” “us,” “our”)

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the EveryLastMile mobile application and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By downloading, installing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you use the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms, and “you” refers to that entity.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services (or 16 in jurisdictions where a higher minimum age of digital consent applies). If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18), a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

3. Description of the Services

EveryLastMile is a privacy-first mileage tracking application for iOS that helps you:

Record drives manually (tap to start/stop) or automatically (background detection using GPS and motion sensors)
Classify drives as business, personal, medical, charitable, or moving
Add trip details including business purpose, notes, parking and toll expenses, and vehicle assignment
Review mileage logs with distance, duration, route, and start/end addresses
Generate IRS-compliant mileage reports (Premium feature) exportable as PDF
Export your data in JSON or CSV format
Sync across devices via your personal iCloud account (optional)

3.1 Accuracy Disclaimer

Trip detection, distance calculation, GPS coordinates, and reverse-geocoded addresses are provided on a best-effort basis using your device’s sensors and Apple’s location services. They are not guaranteed to be perfectly accurate. Factors including GPS signal quality, device hardware, environmental conditions, and software limitations may affect results. You are solely responsible for reviewing, confirming, and correcting your mileage records before using them for any tax, reimbursement, or legal purpose.

3.2 IRS Mileage Rate Calculations

The app calculates estimated tax deductions using standard IRS mileage rates published by the Internal Revenue Service. These rates are updated periodically within the app but may not reflect the most current rates at all times. Deduction estimates are provided for informational convenience only and do not constitute tax advice.

4. No Tax, Legal, or Accounting Advice

The Services provide tools and information for recordkeeping convenience only. We do not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. You are solely responsible for:

Compliance with applicable federal, state, and local tax laws
Accuracy of mileage deductions claimed on your tax returns
Meeting IRS documentation requirements (IRS Publication 463)
Compliance with employer reimbursement policies
Consulting with a qualified tax professional regarding your specific situation

EveryLastMile is not a registered tax preparer, CPA firm, or law firm. No information provided through the Services should be construed as professional advice.

5. Accounts and Security

5.1 Account Creation

You may create an account using Apple Sign In. When you do, Apple provides us with your name and email address (or a private relay email, at your option). Your authentication credentials are managed by Apple and Firebase Authentication; we do not store passwords.

5.2 Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

Maintaining the security of your Apple ID and device
All activity that occurs under your account
Notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access
Keeping your device passcode secure (your trip data is protected by iOS device encryption)

Accounts are for individual use. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account credentials to another person. Each user should maintain their own account.

6. Permissions, Device Features, and Safety

6.1 Required Permissions

The Services rely on device permissions to function. The following permissions are requested:

Permission	Required For	Consequence if Denied
Location, “While Using”	Manual trip recording	Cannot record trips manually
Location, “Always Allow”	Automatic trip detection in the background	Auto-tracking disabled; manual recording still works
Motion & Fitness	Detecting driving vs. walking activity	Reduced auto-detection accuracy; more false positives
Notifications	Unclassified trip reminders, tracking status alerts	No reminders; trips may go unclassified
Background App Refresh	Background sync and auto-tracking continuity	Background features may not function reliably

You can change these permissions at any time in your iOS Settings. Disabling permissions may degrade or disable certain features as described above.

6.2 Background Location Use

When you enable automatic trip detection (“Always Allow” location), the app monitors for driving activity in the background using a combination of GPS location updates, motion sensors, and iOS visit monitoring. Background location data is processed entirely on your device and is never streamed to a remote server. You can disable background location access at any time.

6.3 Safety Warning

Do not interact with the app while driving or operating machinery. The Services are designed to work automatically in the background or to be operated while your vehicle is stationary. You are responsible for complying with all applicable traffic and safety laws.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

MERCHANTABILITY, the Services may not meet your commercial expectations
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, including but not limited to IRS compliance, tax preparation, or any specific recordkeeping requirement

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Without limiting the foregoing, we are not liable for:

16. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class-Action Waiver

IMPORTANT: This section affects your legal rights. Please read it carefully.

16.1 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution, you agree to contact us at legal@everylastmile.app with a written description of your dispute. We will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days. Most concerns can be resolved quickly this way.

16.2 Binding Arbitration

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and EveryLastMile agree to resolve it through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified by these Terms.

Location: Arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles County, California, unless you and we agree otherwise or the AAA rules require a different location
Virtual option: Either party may request that the arbitration be conducted by telephone, video conference, or based on written submissions
Fees: If your claim is for USD $10,000 or less, we will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. For claims above $10,000, fees are governed by AAA rules
Binding decision: The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction

Exceptions to arbitration: Either party may bring a claim in small claims court (if the claim qualifies) or seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement or misuse.

16.3 Class-Action Waiver

YOU AND EVERYLASTMILE AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Neither party may participate in a class action, class arbitration, collective action, or representative action.

If a court or arbitrator determines that this class-action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed and proceed in court.

16.4 Thirty-Day Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver by sending written notice to legal@everylastmile.app within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, our remaining Terms still apply.

16.5 Time Limit on Claims

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arises. Claims filed after this period are permanently barred.

17. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. To the extent that litigation is permitted (e.g., claims not subject to arbitration), the exclusive venue shall be the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

18. Apple App Store Additional Terms

If you downloaded the Services from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree that:

These Terms are between you and EveryLastMile only, not Apple Inc. (“Apple”)
Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the Services
In the event of any failure of the Services to conform to any applicable warranty (if any), you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Services
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the Services or your possession and use of the Services, including but not limited to: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the Services fail to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation
In the event of any third-party claim that the Services or your possession and use of the Services infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, EveryLastMile (not Apple) is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties
You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the Services (e.g., your wireless data agreement)
Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary

19. General Provisions

19.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any subscription terms presented at purchase, constitute the entire agreement between you and EveryLastMile regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

19.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

19.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver of any term shall be effective only if in writing and signed by EveryLastMile.

19.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.

19.5 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, acts of government, internet or infrastructure failures, or Apple platform outages.

19.6 Notices

We may provide notices to you through the app (in-app notifications or banners), via the email associated with your account, or by other reasonable means. Notices to us must be sent to legal@everylastmile.app.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through an in-app notification or other reasonable means at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect. The “Effective Date” at the top indicates the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Services.
