Terms of Service

1. Service Description

SpecTrace is an online platform for iRacing team racing. It provides asynchronous qualifying sessions, leaderboards, telemetry tracking, and season management. The service is operated by Daniel Kappler ("Operator") and accessible at spectrace.app and grid.spectrace.app.

2. Account Requirements

To use SpecTrace, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the service for any unlawful purpose.
• Submit falsified telemetry data or manipulate leaderboard results.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service or other users' accounts.
• Interfere with or disrupt the service's infrastructure.
• Resell or redistribute the service without permission.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

4. Free Access

SpecTrace is currently provided free of charge. All available product features are included with every account.

5. Intellectual Property

The SpecTrace platform, including its design, code, and branding, is the intellectual property of the Operator. Your telemetry and lap data remain your own. By using the service, you grant us a license to process and display your data within the platform (e.g., on leaderboards and session results).

6. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of data or interrupted access.

This limitation does not apply to damages caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or where mandatory law provides otherwise.

7. Availability & Maintenance

We strive to keep SpecTrace available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance or unforeseen technical issues may cause temporary downtime. We are not liable for any losses resulting from service interruptions.

8. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or through the application settings. We may retain certain data as required by law.

We may terminate or suspend your account if you violate these terms, with notice where practicable.

9. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. For consumers within the EU, mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence apply where they offer greater protection.

The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obligated and generally not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the application. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
