CoDrive Terms and Conditions of Use

The terms and conditions of use (hereinafter the “Terms”) set out herein govern the rights and obligations relating to the use (i) of the CoDrive software (the “Software”, or also the “Application”), (ii) of the service (both collectively called the “Service”) and (iii) the “Codrive Community”. These Terms constitute a fully binding agreement between CoDrive SRL, owner of all rights relating to the Service, and the user. We therefore recommend that you read these Terms carefully.

By using CoDrive, you agree

If you do not agree to these Terms or any part of them, then you must refrain from using the Service.

KEY POINTS ACCEPTED

  1. Road information:
    The information provided by the Service does not in any way replace the information provided on the road, such as the direction of travel, road blocks, road signs, traffic lights, LANE AND LANE LIMITS, SPEED LIMITS, police instructions etc.
  2. Accuracy and precision of curve suggestions:
    The term “NOTE” (“NOTE” in plural) indicates the classification attributed by CoDrive, automatically, to the single curve or to sequences of curves, as calculated by the patented algorithm used by CoDrive. The algorithm for calculating the NOTES and the related dictation times is based on the digital road map data provided by the different map providers that CoDrive uses and on the data provided by the mobile phone’s GPS. The cartographic data can be acquired in real time or extracted from previously downloaded off-line cartography: consequently, even the available signal level can influence the correct behavior of the calculation algorithm. Therefore the category attribution may be affected by the precision of such data and may sometimes result in a different class from the one correctly calculated in ideal conditions, and may differ from one device to another (given the possible difference in quality of the GPS receiver), between different operating environments (IOS or Android) and between different conditions (e.g.: depending on the greater or lesser quality of the data that can be used at the moment and/or the available signal level). Furthermore, the two different navigation modes (“with destination” vs “without destination”) can use data from different providers, so the same curve can sometimes be assigned a slightly different classification depending on the navigation mode in use.
  3. Drive carefully:
    The user must drive while maintaining a high level of attention, also taking into account road conditions and in compliance with traffic regulations, REGARDLESS OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.
  4. Non-continuous updates:
    The information provided by the Service may change very often. Such information is inherently fluctuating and may be inaccurate, incomplete or outdated. CoDrive makes no guarantees as to the reliability of such information.
  5. Location Based Service:
    Some features of the Service use detailed information on the location based on the GPS system (so-called “localization”), routes and other information sent by your operator to the mobile device on which the CoDrive application is installed. The Service cannot provide its functionality without using this information. In the absence of a GPS signal or with a poor GPS signal, the Service may not work: therefore the quality of the service cannot be guaranteed.
  6. Location information:
    CoDrive uses location and route information to provide the user with a report on how they navigated the curves and is retained by CoDrive, in accordance with the Privacy Policy, only for the period of time necessary to produce this report .
  7. Behavior of CoDrive Community members:
    The following actions, included in external links, are strictly prohibited in the CoDrive Community:
  • defame, insult or threaten other members, even jokingly
  • disclose personal information about other users, such as name, address, email or telephone number
  • publish private conversations without the sender’s consent: privacy must be respected
  • violate copyright by publishing protected material
  • share violent or sexually explicit content
  • spread hatred or discrimination against ethnic, religious, gender or sexuality groups
  • promote activities that are dangerous or harmful to people, animals or the environment
  • spread false or misleading information
  • publish or promote terrorist content, violence or exploitation of minors
  • avoid religious, political or divisive topics
  • share links to phishing or spam sites
  • advertise products or services, including references to third parties
  • spread exploits or participate in illegal activities
  • pretend to be CoDrive employees

Administrators may remove members who violate the above rules, which violation may result in immediate or permanent suspension of posting privileges and forum access, including blocking of the CoDrive account.

  1. Contents to be shared:
    The contents shared by users through the CoDrive Community service are created by users and in general are not subject to review and/or evaluation by CoDrive, which limits itself to the publication and data processing in accordance with current regulations on privacy. CoDrive therefore disclaims any responsibility for the quality or reliability of such content.
    Your username and activities carried out within the community, such as publishing your performances and positions, may be shared with those responsible for the CoDrive Community for the purpose of possible moderation.
  2. Driving behavior:
    CoDrive does not intend in any way to induce driving behavior and is not responsible for how the user behaves while driving and the consequences that such driving behavior may cause.
  3. Internet Connection:
    The Internet connection required to use the Service, and any associated costs (e.g. mobile data charges) incurred in using the Service, are your sole responsibility. The costs of this connection are those provided for in the agreement with the mobile operator providing communication services (for example the telephone company).
  4. Mobile connection availability:
    To work best, CoDrive requires an online connection between your mobile device and the Internet. CoDrive can also work in offline mode, but in these conditions some functions may work degraded or not entirely correctly.
  5. Age restrictions:
    The service is intended for users equal to or above the legal age required to have a driving license.
  6. Privacy:
    CoDrive respects your privacy when using the Service. The Privacy Policy relating to the Service is described on the website https://codrive.it/en/privacy-policy-app-en/ and is an integral part of these Terms. While using the Service, your personal information may be collected by CoDrive and used as detailed in the Privacy Policy at the address above. By accepting the privacy policy, you agree to the collection, storage and use of your personal data by CoDrive in accordance with the Privacy Policy and GDPR regulations. It is therefore necessary to read these regulations carefully. Since the privacy policy is subject to periodic updates, we recommend that you periodically check the Privacy Policy.

MAIN AND ACCESSORY FUNCTIONS OF THE SERVICE

The main functionality included in the Service allows vehicle drivers to know in advance, at each point of the route they are travelling, the characteristics of the next stretch of road to travel. The information is provided via both vocal indication (via smartphone speaker or via Bluetooth) and visual indication (with a specific symbol displayed on the digital cartography shown in the mobile device viewer).

An ancillary feature is the “CoDrive Community” service, which offers the ability to create personalized groups, allowing users to connect with friends, family and other community members with similar interests. These groups allow users to track each other’s driving performance, share their locations while traveling, and compare driving styles. Through CoDrive Community, users can create a collaborative and supportive environment, where they can share experiences, tips and advice on driving and navigation. This feature encourages not only the sharing of practical and useful information, but also the development of social bonds within the community, encouraging more informed and safe driving.

USER LICENSE

CoDrive grants you a non-exclusive, time-limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Service for non-commercial purposes.

ACCESS TO THE SERVICE

When you install the Application on your mobile device, CoDrive creates an account associated with that mobile device (“Account”). After installation, CoDrive collects and uses some user data useful for the optimal provision of the Service, in compliance with privacy regulations.

CoDrive may allow you to use the Application regardless of whether you choose to set a username. You may choose to use the Service without a username by skipping the username creation step in the application installation procedure.

The user can also decide to share their data, such as the routes taken and possibly the related performances (encoded in the appropriate “reports”), with other CoDrive users (“CoDrive Community” function). In order to access this functionality, the user must register via authentication with a Google, Apple or Facebook account: in this second case, the user can access the Service through this account, thus agreeing to share the data with CoDrive.

The user can upload content (for example, photos of places visited, comments, etc.): if he decides to make them “public”, he accepts that such contents will be made visible to other users who follow him.

Such contents will however be treated in compliance with privacy regulations.
