Version 0.1
Garagist — Terms of use
Draft, version 0.1, 2026-11-11. Not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
These terms are the agreement between you and Radim Kozel, K Hajovne 47, 252 41 Dolni Brezany, Czech Republic ("we"), for using Garagist at www.garagist.work. By creating an account you accept them.
1. What Garagist is
A tool for keeping the record of a vehicle — documents, photos, jobs, parts, reminders — and for inspecting a vehicle before you buy it, using checklists written for particular models. It is a personal project run by a private individual, not a business, and it is offered free of charge.
2. Test period
Garagist is in a test period. It may change, break or be unavailable without warning, and although we take backups, data can be lost. Keep your own copies of any document that matters to you. We will say clearly when the test period ends.
3. Your account
- You must be at least 15 years old.
- You sign in with a code or a link sent to your email address. Keep that mailbox secure: whoever can read it can open your account.
- One person, one account. Tell us at privacy@garagist.work if you think someone else has used yours.
4. Your content
- Everything you enter or upload stays yours.
- You allow us to store it, copy it for backups and show it back to you — and, where you choose to share or publish something, to show that to the people you choose or to the public. This permission ends when you delete the content, apart from backups, which expire within 35 days.
- Nothing is public unless you make it public, one item at a time.
- You are responsible for what you upload. Do not upload anything you have no right to store, and think before storing other people's personal details.
5. Fair use
Do not use Garagist to break the law, to harass anyone, to store material unrelated to vehicles in bulk, to probe or disrupt the service, or to collect other users' data. We may remove content or suspend an account that does, and we will tell you why unless the law prevents it.
6. Checklists, verdicts and cost figures
Inspection checklists are written by enthusiasts and published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 licence. They are a structured way to record your own observations.
The verdict and any cost figures are guidance drawn from those checklists and your answers. They are not a professional appraisal, a valuation or a guarantee of a vehicle's condition. A checklist can be incomplete or wrong, and a fault can be missed. Decide about a purchase yourself, and have a specialist inspect the vehicle when the sum at stake justifies it.
7. Reminders
Reminders are a convenience. An email or a notification can be delayed, filtered or missed. Do not rely on Garagist alone for anything on which safety or a legal deadline depends.
8. Availability and changes
We aim to keep Garagist running but promise no particular availability. We may add, change or remove features. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we tell you by email at least 14 days before; if you do not agree, you can export your data and delete your account.
9. Ending
- You can delete your account at any time in the app. Your records and files are removed from the running service at once and from backups within 35 days.
- We may close an account that breaks these terms. If we ever end the service as a whole, we give at least 30 days' notice by email and keep export available during that time.
10. Responsibility
The service is provided free of charge and as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss of data, for a decision you make on the basis of a checklist, verdict or cost figure, or for losses that could not reasonably have been foreseen. Nothing in these terms limits responsibility that cannot be limited by law, or the rights you have as a consumer.
11. Privacy
How personal data is handled is described in the Privacy notice, which is part of this agreement.
12. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by Czech law. If you are a consumer, the mandatory protections of the country where you live still apply. Please write to us first at privacy@garagist.work; most things can be settled that way.
