Terms of Use
These terms are the agreement between you and Odo for the Odo app and this website. Installing or using Odo means you accept them. If you do not, do not use the app.
Who can use Odo
- You must be 18 or older and able to enter a contract under Indian law.
- Your account is tied to your phone number, and it is yours alone. Anyone holding your number can receive the sign-in code, so treat the number and the device as you would a password.
- Tell us at support.odo.in@gmail.com if your number changes hands or you lose access to it, so the account does not follow the number to its next owner.
What Odo is
A record-keeper and a second opinion. It stores your car's service history, reminds you before a document expires, reads a workshop bill and tells you whether the amounts look normal, and works out what the car is costing you per kilometre.
What Odo does not promise
Read this section properly. It describes real limits of the features, not hypothetical ones.
- Reminders are a convenience, not a guarantee. A notification can be delayed or swallowed by the operating system, blocked by battery settings, or lost with the app's data. Keeping your insurance, PUC certificate, registration and licence valid remains entirely your responsibility, and we are not answerable for a fine, a claim rejection or any other loss caused by a reminder that did not arrive.
- Bill checks are estimates. The typical prices Odo compares against come from other owners' bills and public data. A price outside that range is not proof of overcharging, and a price inside it is not proof of a fair deal. Genuine parts, dealer workshops and city differences all move the number. Use it as a reason to ask a question, not as a verdict.
- Scanning can misread. Text is extracted from a photo automatically, and a poor photo, a handwritten bill or an unusual layout will produce wrong amounts or dates. Check what the app fills in before you save it.
- The health score is our opinion. It is calculated from what you have recorded, so a car with no records scores low even if it is perfectly maintained. It is not a mechanical inspection, not a valuation, and not something to buy or sell a car on.
- Cost per kilometre is an approximation. It relies on odometer readings you enter and on assumed fuel prices and mileage. Treat it as a trend, not as accounting.
- Odometer tracking is not a legal odometer. Distances measured from GPS or estimated between readings will drift from the one in your dashboard.
Your data and your content
- What you put into Odo stays yours. We do not claim ownership of your records, photos or documents.
- You give us permission to store and process them only so far as running the app requires — syncing them to your other devices, generating reminders and scores, and showing them back to you.
- You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload, and for not putting someone else's documents into your account.
- Keep your own copies of anything that matters. Odo is a convenient place for your registration certificate and insurance; it is not the only place they should exist.
- The Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how to delete it, and is part of these terms.
How not to use it
- Do not enter details of a vehicle you do not own or are not authorised to manage.
- Do not submit invented bills or prices. It corrupts the comparison data every other owner relies on.
- Do not attempt to break, overload or reverse-engineer the service, or reach data that is not yours.
- Do not resell Odo or scrape it into another product.
Paid features
Parts of Odo may be offered as a paid subscription. Where they are, the price, the billing period and what is included are shown before you pay.
- Purchases made through Google Play are billed by Google, renew automatically until cancelled, and are managed and cancelled in your Play Store account.
- Refunds follow Google Play's policy. Write to us if something was charged in error and we will help sort it out.
- If a paid feature is withdrawn during a period you have paid for, you get a pro-rata refund for what is left of it.
- Cancelling stops future billing. It does not delete your account — do that from the deletion page.
Payments to workshops
When Odo reads a UPI QR code from a bill, it hands the payment details to whichever UPI app you choose. The payment happens there, between you, your bank and the workshop. We do not process it, hold the money, or take a cut, and a dispute about the work or the amount is between you and the workshop.
Availability
We try to keep Odo running, but we do not promise it will be available without interruption. Features may change or be withdrawn, and we may need to take the service down for maintenance. Your records stay on your phone and keep working offline while the servers do not.
Ending it
- You can stop at any time: delete your account from the deletion page, or simply uninstall.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, is being used fraudulently, or is putting the service or other owners at risk. Except where the breach is serious, we will warn you first and give you a chance to export your data.
Liability
Odo is provided as it is. To the extent Indian law allows, we exclude implied warranties, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss — lost profit, lost data, or a decision you took on the strength of something the app showed you.
Where liability cannot be excluded, ours is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or ₹1,000. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for anything else the law does not permit us to limit.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the app changes. The date in the footer says when they last changed, and we will tell you in the app before a material change takes effect. Continuing to use Odo after that means you accept the new version.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of competent jurisdiction in India will hear any dispute arising from them. Please write to us first — nearly everything is faster to fix by email than by filing.
