Terms of Service
Draft: These terms are a draft prepared for Checktow Corp and are pending the company's review. They are not yet in effect.
Effective date: To be set when this document is published
1. Agreement
These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Checktow Corp ("CheckTow", "we", "us") for the CheckTow mobile app and website (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. What the Service does
CheckTow checks public parking ticket records published by the City of New York through NYC Open Data for the license plates you register, and alerts you about new tickets, penalty dates, judgments, and boot and tow risk. CheckTow is an alert service only. It does not pay tickets, dispute tickets, remove boots, release towed vehicles, or act on your behalf with any government agency.
3. Not affiliated with the City of New York
CheckTow is not part of, endorsed by, or affiliated with the City of New York, the NYC Department of Finance, or any other government agency.
4. Accuracy of information
Ticket information in the Service comes from public records, which can be delayed, incomplete, or incorrect, and alerts can be delayed or fail. You are responsible for your tickets, deadlines, and balances with the city. The city's records are the final source of truth, and nothing in the Service is legal advice.
5. Your account
You must provide accurate information, keep your sign-in credentials private, and only register vehicles you own or are responsible for. You are responsible for activity under your account. You can delete your account at any time from inside the app.
6. Subscriptions
Some features require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and the price, plan options, and any free trial are shown in the store at the time of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your store account settings before the renewal date. Payments, refunds, and cancellations are handled by the store under its own terms. If you delete your CheckTow account, cancel your subscription in the store as well, because account deletion does not cancel a store subscription.
7. Acceptable use
- Do not use the Service to check plates you have no legitimate reason to check.
- Do not attempt to bypass scan limits, access controls, or security measures.
- Do not copy, resell, or scrape the Service or its data feeds.
- Do not use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
8. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, and branding, belongs to Checktow Corp or its licensors. These terms do not give you any right to use our trademarks or copy the Service except as needed to use it normally.
9. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error free operation. We do not warrant that every ticket will be found or that every alert will be delivered in time.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Checktow Corp is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Service, including ticket penalties, booting, towing, or impound fees, even if we were advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty dollars, whichever is greater.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law rules. (Governing law to be confirmed by the company.)
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If we make a meaningful change, we will update this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
