1. Scope & Acknowledgment

This End User License Agreement ("EULA") governs your use of all PullPilot software products, including: the iOS application (available on the Apple App Store), the Android application (available on Google Play), the web Progressive Web App (PWA) at pull-pilot.com, and the Chrome browser extension for *.picknpull.com (collectively, the "Licensed Application"). This EULA and the Terms of Service together govern your use of PullPilot.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using any part of the Licensed Application, you agree to be bound by this EULA. If you do not agree, do not install or use the application.

You and we acknowledge that this EULA is concluded between you and ChienTech only, and not with Apple. Apple is not a party to this Agreement. ChienTech, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Licensed Application and the content thereof. (See Platform Addenda for Apple App Store-specific and Google Play-specific terms.)

2. Grant of License

Subject to your compliance with this EULA, ChienTech grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to: (a) download, install, and use the PullPilot iOS or Android app on a device you own or control; (b) access and use the PullPilot web PWA at pull-pilot.com through a compatible browser; and (c) install and use the PullPilot Chrome browser extension — in each case solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes and in accordance with this EULA and, where applicable, the Usage Rules of the Apple App Store or Google Play.

3. Minimum Age Requirement

You must be at least 16 years old to use PullPilot. By installing or using the Licensed Application, you represent that you are 16 years of age or older. If you are under 16, do not use this application. See also §2 of the Terms of Service.

4. License Restrictions

You may not:

6. Camera Permission

The Licensed Application requests access to your device camera. Camera access is required solely for scanning VIN barcodes using the ZXing on-device image processing library. No video frames, images, or camera output are transmitted to PullPilot servers. Only the decoded 17-character VIN string is sent to our API after you confirm the match. You may revoke camera permission at any time in your device Settings; doing so will disable the barcode scanning feature but all other app features will continue to work.

7. Push Notification Permission

The Licensed Application may request permission to send push notifications. This permission is optional. If granted, notifications are used for: bounty alerts, report vote updates, support message replies, and gamification milestones. You can disable push notifications at any time in your device Settings → Notifications → PullPilot. You can also manage notification categories individually in Settings → Notifications within the app.

8. Location Permission

Location access is optional and is used only for the bounty geofencing feature (verifying that you are at a specific junkyard before accepting a bounty reward). Location is not stored persistently. You may revoke location permission at any time in your device Settings; this will disable the bounty geofencing check only.

9. Capacitor / WebView Disclosure

The PullPilot mobile applications are built with Capacitor, a hybrid application framework. The app's user interface is rendered inside the operating system's native WebView component (WKWebView on iOS; Android WebView on Android). This architecture is a standard and widely used approach for cross-platform mobile application development. The app's functionality and security are equivalent to other mobile applications.

10. Minimum System Requirements

Use on older operating system versions is not supported. PullPilot recommends keeping your operating system updated to the latest available version for security and compatibility.

11. User-Generated Content License

You retain ownership of all content you submit through the Licensed Application ("Your Content"), including part condition reports, photographs, notes, votes, and bounty submissions. By submitting Your Content, you grant ChienTech a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, display, reproduce, modify (for technical formatting and accessibility), distribute, and make available Your Content solely in connection with providing and promoting the PullPilot service.

By submitting Your Content you represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have the necessary rights to submit it; (b) Your Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights; and (c) Your Content is accurate to the best of your knowledge. The full user content license terms are set out in Terms of Service §5, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ChienTech may remove or disable any user-generated content at its sole discretion, with or without notice, for violation of these terms or for community harm.

12. Prohibited Conduct

In addition to the License Restrictions in §4, you may not use the Licensed Application to:

The full list of prohibited conduct is set out in Terms of Service §10. Violation of these conduct rules may result in account termination without notice.

PULLPILOT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF BUGS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. PART AVAILABILITY DATA IS CROWDSOURCED AND PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY ACCURACY GUARANTEE.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CHIENTECH'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM THIS EULA OR YOUR USE OF THE LICENSED APPLICATION SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) USD $100 OR (b) ONE US DOLLAR (USD $1.00) — as no monetary consideration is exchanged for the free service. IN NO EVENT SHALL CHIENTECH BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

17. Termination

Upon termination you must cease all use of the Licensed Application and delete all copies from your devices. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including §13, §15, §16, and the platform addenda) shall survive.

You may terminate this EULA at any time by deleting the Licensed Application from all your devices and, if applicable, deleting your PullPilot account.

18. Governing Law

This EULA shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, excluding its conflict-of-laws principles, subject to the arbitration agreement in the Terms of Service §13.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, residents of the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom retain the rights provided by their local consumer protection laws and may bring claims in the courts of their country of residence.
