(“we”, “us”, “Provider”).
By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Please read Section 17 (Dispute Resolution) carefully. It requires most disputes to be resolved by binding individual arbitration and waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days as described in Section 17.6.
Relationship to Apple / Google: Use of the App obtained through the Apple App Store is additionally subject to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/). Use through Google Play is subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Apple Inc. and Google LLC are not parties to these Terms and bear no responsibility for the App or for any claims arising from it. Apple and Google are, however, third-party beneficiaries entitled to enforce the applicable store license terms against you.
Route2Bee is a mileage logbook app for mobile devices (iOS and Android) providing the following core functions:
We may extend, modify or restrict the functionality of the App at any time. For a paid subscription period already begun, the core functions (automatic trip detection, export, cloud synchronization) remain available.
Use of the App requires registration with an email address and password, or sign-in through Apple or Google. You agree to:
You may not transfer your account to another person or create multiple accounts for the same person. You must be at least 13 years old to use the App; see Section 4 of our Privacy Policy for details.
Free use: The App can be used free of charge for up to 20 recorded trips. Recording beyond that limit requires an active Premium subscription. Trips already recorded remain available to you and exportable without a subscription.
Premium subscription: Premium is offered as an auto-renewing subscription with a monthly or an annual term.
Free trial: Where offered by the store, you may try the monthly plan free of charge for the period shown in the store (currently one month). The trial is available only to users who have not had a Premium subscription before, and only once per Apple ID or Google account. During the trial you have full Premium access. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the trial converts automatically into a paid subscription at the price shown when you started it, and your store account is charged. Trips recorded during the trial remain yours; without an active subscription, the App simply stops recording new trips beyond the free allowance.
Promotions and credits: We may offer time-limited promotions, discounts or credits (for example from the referral program, Section 9). They have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash, are non-transferable and may be revoked in case of abuse.
All subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple or Google, not by us. Refund requests are handled exclusively by the store you purchased through and are subject to that store’s policies:
We cannot issue, reverse or guarantee refunds for store purchases. Except where required by applicable law, payments for a billing period already begun are non-refundable, and we do not provide partial refunds for unused time.
Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you may have under the consumer protection laws of your state or country of residence.
Automatic trip detection requires that you grant the App continuous access to your location, including in the background. This is a technical prerequisite for the core function of the App.
You may use the App only on devices you control and only to record your own trips or trips for which the persons concerned have given any consent required by law. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of GPS tracking in your vehicle and on your trips complies with applicable law, in particular:
You must not use the App to track any person or vehicle without that person’s knowledge and consent where such consent is required by law.
Technical limitations: Automatic trip detection relies on background GPS and on operating-system behavior outside our control. You expressly acknowledge:
We do not warrant that every trip will be detected, recorded completely, or recorded accurately. You are responsible for reviewing your trips and correcting or adding any that are missing or inaccurate.
You agree not to use the App to:
We aim for high availability of the cloud functions but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We will announce maintenance where reasonably possible.
Backup: Your trips are stored locally on your device first and, if enabled, synchronized to the cloud. You are responsible for backing up your data. Export your trips regularly (PDF, CSV or JSON) — in particular before changing devices, signing out or deleting your account. We recommend leaving cloud synchronization enabled to reduce the risk of data loss if your device is lost, damaged or replaced. There is no right to restoration of deleted or lost data.
Because the App depends on operating-system-controlled background processes, complete and uninterrupted recording of all trips cannot be technically guaranteed.
9.1 Participation. Every registered user receives a personal invite code in the App. If a newly registered person (the “referred user”) redeems that code within 7 days of registering and then purchases a Premium subscription, the referring user (the “referrer”) earns a reward of 3 months of Premium. Participation is voluntary and free.
9.2 When the reward is earned. For an annual subscription without a free trial, the reward is earned on purchase. In all other cases — a monthly subscription, or any subscription that starts with a free trial — it is earned once the referred user’s subscription is still continuously active 90 days after it started. If the subscription ends earlier or the purchase is refunded, no reward is earned.
9.3 How the reward is applied. If the referrer has an active Premium subscription, we extend it free of charge by 3 months; for technical reasons imposed by the app stores this is possible at most twice per rolling year — further rewards are banked and applied once an extension is possible again. If the referrer has no subscription, the reward is activated as 3 months of Premium access; when a paid subscription ends, banked rewards become active afterwards.
9.4 No cash value. Rewards have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash, are non-transferable and cannot be combined with other promotions. There is no limit on the number of referrals.
9.5 Abuse. The following are prohibited: self-referral through multiple accounts, creating accounts without a genuine intention to use the App, redeeming your own code, mass or unsolicited distribution of codes (spam), advertising Route2Bee with misleading claims, and exploiting technical errors. Where we have reasonable grounds to suspect abuse, we may withhold or revoke rewards, reverse rewards already granted, and exclude the accounts involved from the program.
9.6 Changes and termination. We may modify or end the program at any time with effect for the future. Rewards earned until then remain yours; codes already redeemed are governed by the conditions in force at the time of redemption.
9.7 Visibility. The referrer sees the referred user’s first name and reward status in their invitation list (see Section 10 of the Privacy Policy).
Route2Bee provides features intended to support contemporaneous mileage recordkeeping, including:
Recordkeeping is your responsibility. Any obligation to retain your mileage records (for example under IRS rules or your state’s rules) rests with you. We keep your data only while your account exists; when you delete your account, everything is deleted (Section 15). Export your records regularly and keep the exports yourself.
NO TAX ADVICE. We are not a tax advisor, accountant, attorney or enrolled agent, and nothing in the App or in these Terms constitutes tax, accounting or legal advice. The App does not determine whether a trip is deductible, which mileage rate applies to you, or whether your records satisfy the substantiation requirements of the Internal Revenue Service (including IRS Publication 463) or of any state or local tax authority.
No guarantee of acceptance. We do not warrant that records generated with the App will be accepted by the IRS, any state or local tax authority, any employer, or any other third party. Acceptance depends on factors within your control, in particular the complete, accurate and timely recording of all trips, the correct classification of each trip’s purpose, and your regular review and finalization of trips.
Default mileage rate. Any default cost rate suggested by the App is a convenience value only, may not reflect the current IRS standard mileage rate or your employer’s reimbursement policy, and must be verified by you. You are solely responsible for the rates you enter and the amounts you claim.
You should consult a qualified tax professional regarding your recordkeeping and deductions.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP AND ALL RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT TRIP DETECTION, DISTANCE CALCULATION OR ADDRESS RESOLUTION WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. In that case, any implied warranty is limited to the shortest period permitted by applicable law.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE PROVIDER, ITS PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL OR DATA, OR FOR ANY TAX DEDUCTION DISALLOWED, TAX ASSESSED, PENALTY, INTEREST, FINE OR REIMBURSEMENT DENIED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US OR THROUGH AN APP STORE FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS (USD 50).
In particular, we accept no liability for:
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for fraudulent misrepresentation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Provider and its partners, employees and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of a third party, including any claim that you tracked a person or vehicle without the consent required by law; or (d) the content, accuracy or use of any mileage record you create, export or submit to a third party.
All rights in the App, including source code, graphics, design and the “Route2Bee” brand, belong to the Provider. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal or internal business purposes.
Third-party trademarks: DATEV is a registered trademark of DATEV eG. Lexoffice is a registered trademark of Haufe-Lexware GmbH & Co. KG. Route2Bee is not a DATEV or Lexoffice product and has no business relationship with these companies; the names are used solely to describe export format compatibility. Apple and the Apple logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. Google Play and the Google Play logo are trademarks of Google LLC.
Map data: The map tiles behind the route previews in your trip list are provided by MapTiler and based on data from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under the Open Database License). The map view of an individual trip uses Apple Maps on iOS and Google Maps on Android. The terms of the respective map providers apply in addition. What is requested and transmitted is described in our Privacy Policy.
By you: You may delete your account at any time in the App under Settings → “Delete account & data”, or by contacting us at info@honeyapps.de. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel an auto-renewing subscription — you must also cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings.
By us: We may terminate the free use of the App on 30 days’ notice by email to the address on your account. A paid subscription period already begun continues until it ends; if we can no longer provide the service for a period you have paid for, the fee for that period is refunded pro rata through the store.
Discontinuation: We may discontinue the App altogether. We will give at least 3 months’ notice by email or in the App and make sure you can export your data until the App is discontinued. The preceding paragraph applies to paid periods.
Suspension: We may suspend or terminate accounts that seriously or repeatedly violate these Terms, abuse the referral program, or where necessary to protect other users or our systems.
Effect of termination: When your account ends, it is deleted completely and irreversibly together with all data — including finalized trips, waypoints and the audit log (see Section 14 of the Privacy Policy). We retain nothing. Export your records before deletion if you need them for tax purposes (Section 10).
We may modify these Terms. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days in advance by email or in-app notification. Changes take effect on the date stated in the notice.
If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the App and may delete your account and cancel your subscription before the changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. Changes to Section 17 (Dispute Resolution) will not apply to any dispute of which we had actual notice before the effective date of the change.
This Section applies to you if you are a resident of the United States. Please read it carefully; it affects your legal rights.
17.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or any other proceeding, you agree to first contact us at info@honeyapps.de with a written description of the dispute, the relief you seek, and your account email. We will do the same before bringing a claim against you. Both sides agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for 60 days from receipt of that notice. This informal step is a condition precedent to starting arbitration, and the limitations period is tolled while it runs.
17.2 Binding individual arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, you and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, and not in court, except as stated in Section 17.4. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted in English. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any in-person hearing will take place in the U.S. county of your residence; you may also elect a telephonic or video hearing or a decision on documents alone. The arbitrator’s award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
17.3 Arbitration costs. Payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees is governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If the arbitrator finds your claim is not frivolous, we will pay the portion of AAA filing and arbitrator fees that exceeds what you would have paid to file the claim in a court of competent jurisdiction.
17.4 Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights.
17.5 Class action and jury trial waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If this Section 17.5 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction, while all other claims remain in arbitration.
17.6 Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to info@honeyapps.de with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and the email address of your account. Opting out has no effect on any other part of these Terms and will not affect your use of the App. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in court as provided in Section 18.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and excluding conflict-of-law rules that would result in the application of another jurisdiction’s law.
If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of the country or U.S. state in which you have your habitual residence.
Subject to Section 17, for disputes that are litigated rather than arbitrated, the courts at the Provider’s registered seat have jurisdiction where permitted by law; if you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence, and we will bring proceedings against you only there.
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
No waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
Entire agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable app store terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
Export compliance: You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Force majeure: We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
Language: This English version is provided for users outside the German-speaking market. Where a German-language version of these Terms exists, each version applies to its own respective users; in case of doubt about which version applies to you, the version displayed in the App in your selected language governs.
