Kilòmetro · Terms of Use

This page is a translation of the Italian original, made with an artificial-intelligence tool and reviewed by the Developer. In case of differences, the Italian text prevails and is available here: silverik.github.io/kilometro-site/termini.html. Your rights do not change with the language.

These Terms of Use (hereinafter "Terms") govern the use of the Kilòmetro application for Android and iPhone (hereinafter "App"), developed and made available by Daniele Crucitti (hereinafter "Developer"), who can be contacted at puffettodigitale@gmail.com. Anyone who installs or uses the App is hereinafter referred to as "User". The Privacy Policy describes the processing of personal data and forms an integral part of the Terms. "Store" means Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store, from which the App is downloaded and through which the subscription is purchased.

1. Acceptance

Installing the App, using it, purchasing the subscription and using the App after an update of the Terms entail full acceptance of these Terms, which constitute a contract of adhesion that is not individually negotiable. A User who does not intend to accept them, in whole or in part, must not install or use the App and, if they have already installed it, must uninstall it. The App may be used by anyone who is 14 years of age or older. The subscription to the Reading Service may be purchased only by adults or through the Store's parental controls; minors may use the App without the Reading Service. A parent who uses the App with a minor is responsible for the minor's data that they enter in the logbook. The App is distributed exclusively through the App Store and Google Play: copies obtained elsewhere are not the App, may contain malicious code and are not covered by these Terms. Apple and Google are not parties to these Terms and do not sponsor the App.

2. Subject matter and nature of the App

The App is a tool for personally recording the expenses of a vehicle, provided for personal utility and entertainment purposes. It is not a professional, accounting, tax, insurance or advisory service, and it is not intended for professional use. The Developer's obligation consists exclusively in making available the functions of the App described in the Stores and in these Terms, within the limits indicated here.

The values that the App calculates or proposes (consumption, averages, forecasts, reminders, suggested kilometres, expense categories) are estimates derived from what the User has recorded and are provided for guidance only: they do not replace the vehicle registration document, statutory deadlines, invoices or the opinion of a professional. Checking the data before any use, including tax returns, reimbursement claims or disputes, is the User's responsibility and is not part of the Developer's obligation.

Reminders, estimates, consumption figures, forecasts and suggested kilometres are an aid to the User's memory and organisation, calculated from the data that the User has entered or confirmed. Compliance with the legal and contractual obligations relating to the vehicle (insurance, roadworthiness inspection, taxes, maintenance, fines) and observance of the related deadlines remain the User's sole responsibility and are not part of the obligation. Reminders produce notifications only if the User has granted the system permission, has not disabled notifications and the operating system does not suspend the App; the App cannot verify or force the delivery of notifications.

The App is licensed to consumers for personal and family use. It is not a fleet management tool or a tool for monitoring workers' activity and may not be used by businesses or professionals to process employee or customer data. Anyone who uses it in an employment relationship is solely responsible for the obligations under Article 4 of legge 300/1970 (the Italian Workers' Statute) and of Regulation (EU) 2016/679; logbook entries, author names, dates and times have no evidentiary value and may not be used for disciplinary purposes. The Reading Service is reserved for consumers who process their own receipts or those of their own family: the Developer does not enter into agreements under Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, does not assume the role of processor and suspends use for professional purposes. Use by non-consumers is at their sole risk, except in the case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Developer.

3. User data and storage space

The expense logbook remains stored on the User's device and, at the User's choice, in their iCloud or their Google Drive. The safekeeping, copying and sharing of the data are the User's responsibility; the Developer has no access to them and cannot recover them. The App requires a supported device and operating system version; on unsupported versions operation is not guaranteed.

The User is responsible for the safekeeping of the device and of the credentials of their own Apple or Google account, as well as for the truthfulness, lawfulness and adequacy of the data they enter in the App. The Developer is not liable for unauthorised access due to the User's negligence, the sharing of credentials or the loss of the device. If the User shares the logbook with other people through their own Google Drive, it is the User who decides with whom to share it, who informs them and who revokes the sharing; the data entered by each person (including the name of whoever records an expense) are visible to all the people with whom the logbook is shared. Anyone who links the App to a Google or Apple account that is also used by other people or on other phones makes the logbook visible and editable, in real time, by anyone who uses that account; anyone with access can edit and delete any entry, including entries made by others, with effect on all linked phones. When the same entry is edited on two phones, the App keeps the change saved last; different entries are all kept. The App saves dated backup copies in the User's cloud space, which can be restored from the App; export to Excel is the recommended long-term storage format, readable even without the App. Synchronisation may stop because of exhausted storage space, revocation of permissions, moving of the folder or unavailability of the cloud service: the App shows the status of the synchronisation and the User is required to check it before changing or resetting their phone. The name of the author of an entry is that of the linked account, not necessarily of the person using the phone; entries do not constitute proof of their content or authorship. The User is solely responsible for the content they enter in the logbook and for what they share or export; the Developer does not host it and cannot edit or remove it.

The Developer does not carry out any real-time monitoring of the use of the App and does not keep logs of the User's activities. The only technical logs that exist (the diagnostic log on the device, sent only by the User's choice and for technical-support needs; the reading counters and the access logs of the reading service) are described in the Privacy Policy and do not contain the recorded expenses, the photographs or the User's identity.

4. Fuel prices and charging points

The prices shown on the map come from public sources (for Italy the Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy (Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy); for other countries the sources indicated in the App) and are reported as published, with the delays and errors that such sources may contain. The price due is exclusively the one displayed at the fuel station. The accuracy, completeness and currency of such data are not part of the Developer's obligation.

Charging points for electric vehicles come from an open, collaborative database, indicated in the App together with its data licence, fed by volunteer contributions and third-party sources: location, connectors, power, status and cost may be incomplete or out of date, and the charging cost is exclusively the one applied by the operator of the charging point. To obtain such data the App sends the database the area of the map being viewed, without any data identifying the User.

5. Receipt reading (subscription feature)

The "Receipt reading" feature (hereinafter "Reading Service") converts the photograph of a receipt into the fields of an expense. It is offered in two variants, chosen by the User at the time of subscribing: Premium Cloud (cloud reading), in which the photograph is sent to a service of the Developer that relies on a third-party artificial-intelligence provider, and Basic (on-phone reading), in which the photograph is processed by the artificial-intelligence model built into the device's operating system, without leaving the device; the latter is available only on devices that have such a model, as indicated in the App. "Photograph" also means the image that the App creates on the device from the first page of a document chosen by the User (for example a receipt in PDF format): only that image reaches the Reading Service, never the document. The following rules apply to the Reading Service.

• Outcome not guaranteed. Automatic reading may be wrong or incomplete (dates, amounts, litres, prices, kilometres, type of expense), especially with faded, folded or poorly photographed receipts. The obligation consists in proposing the fields read to the User, flagging the uncertain ones: no data is saved without the User's confirmation, and it is up to the User to check the fields before saving. Before the first reading the App asks the User to confirm, with a separate choice, that they have understood that automatic reading may make mistakes and that checking the fields is their responsibility. For the purposes of the limits, only a response with the fields filled in counts as a reading: unrecognised photos and service errors do not consume readings; for the purposes of the limits, a day is the calendar day according to Italian time. Dates read from the receipt are payment or issue dates and do not determine statutory or policy deadlines, which the User must enter. The App does not keep the photograph or the original receipt: the User must keep it for warranty, reimbursement and tax purposes. Data read or calculated by the App do not constitute tax documentation.
• Dependence on third parties. Premium Cloud depends on third-party providers and Basic on the model made available by the manufacturer of the operating system. The Developer undertakes to keep it active, but, should a provider change its terms or prices or cease its activity, the Reading Service may be modified, reduced or discontinued in the manner and with the safeguards provided for in Article 8.
• Usage limits. With Premium Cloud, during the free trial a maximum of 5 receipts in total can be read; with the paid subscription a maximum of 15 receipts per day. Each cloud reading has a cost for the Developer, because the artificial-intelligence provider charges for each photograph processed: the limits serve to keep the subscription price down and to prevent abusive use. Basic has no limit on the number of readings. The limits in force are indicated in the App and in the subscription panel before purchase. Automated or bulk use of the Reading Service, use on behalf of third parties and any attempt to circumvent the limits are not permitted.
• Permitted content. The photograph must show exclusively till receipts or other receipts relating to vehicle expenses, or the fuel pump display with the amount, litres and price per litre of the refuelling just made. The User must not send their own or third parties' personal data, special categories of personal data under Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (for example health data), data relating to criminal convictions or offences, identity documents, payment instruments, images of people or other content unrelated to the receipt. For fines, only the payment receipt must be photographed, not the penalty notice. If the photograph contains data other than those of a receipt or an invoice relating to the vehicle, the Reading Service does not extract or keep them and returns a negative outcome. The User is solely responsible for the content they send; repeated sending of content that is not permitted allows the suspension provided for in Article 10. The Developer cooperates with the authorities and with the Store to identify whoever sends unlawful content and may keep the technical logs necessary for that purpose.
• No advice. The categories and values proposed by the Reading Service do not constitute a tax or accounting classification of the expense.

5-bis. Permitted use and prohibited use

The App is intended for personal, non-professional use by the User, for vehicles they own or have at their disposal. It is not intended for fleet management, for monitoring workers or for commercial uses. The App is not designed for critical or emergency activities or for activities that require automatic real-time decisions: the App's indications (consumption, deadlines, prices, fuel stations) do not replace the User's checks and do not constitute decisions on the vehicle's safety, maintenance or regulatory compliance. Navigation to a fuel station is performed by the device's maps app, under its own terms. The User must not use the App while driving (Article 173 of the Codice della strada (Italian Highway Code)).

It is prohibited to: use the App for unlawful purposes or in violation of third parties' rights; interfere with the operation of the App or of the reading service, exploit its vulnerabilities, access it without authorisation or with keys, receipts or identifiers that are not one's own; use automated programs, extract data in bulk or build databases from the App or the service; use the App's content, texts, interfaces or data to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models; circumvent limits, protections or payment mechanisms; resell or transfer to third parties access to the paid features. Violations entail the measures under Article 10 and, where the conditions are met, reporting to the authorities.

6. Subscription: price, free trial, renewal and cancellation

• The subscription to the Reading Service is purchased exclusively through the Store, which is its seller and which handles payment, invoicing, renewal and cancellation under its own terms (Article 13). The price applied is the one indicated by the Store at the time of purchase, in the currency and with the taxes of the User's country.
• Two variants are available (Premium Cloud and Basic, Article 5) and, for each, two durations: 1 month and 1 year. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, for a period of the same duration and at the same price, until cancelled. Switching from one variant to the other takes place through the Store, under its rules.
• Renewal charge and deadline for cancellation. On the App Store the renewal charge is made within the 24 hours preceding the start of the new period and cancellation prevents renewal only if made at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. On Google Play the charge is made at the start of the new billing period and cancellation prevents renewal if made before the end of the current billing period. The Store's terms in force at the time of renewal are authoritative.
• Free trial. When the Store offers it to the User's account, the first 3 days are free and include a maximum of 5 readings. At the end of the trial the subscription becomes paid at the price of the chosen plan, indicated before activation, and is charged by the Store, unless cancelled within the deadline indicated in the previous point. The free trial is, as a rule, available only once per Store account, according to the Store's eligibility rules.
• Cancellation. Cancellation can be made at any time from Settings › [User's name] › Subscriptions on iPhone or from Play Store › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions on Android; the App contains a link to those pages. Uninstalling the App does not constitute cancellation. After cancellation the Reading Service remains available until the end of the period already paid for.
• The subscription is tied to the Store account with which it was purchased and can be restored on the other devices linked to the same account.

7. Price changes

The Developer may change the subscription price for subsequent periods where there is a justified reason, such as an increase in the costs of the third-party providers used by the Reading Service, a change in taxes or in the Store's fees, or inflation. The change never applies to the period already paid for. The User is notified of it, through the Store and, where required by the Store's rules, also in the App, with at least 30 days' notice before the first charge at the new price. In the cases provided for by the Store's rules or by law, the new price applies only with the User's express consent: in the absence of consent the subscription does not renew and ends at the end of the current period. In any case the User may cancel the subscription before the change applies.

8. Changes to the App, the Reading Service and the Terms

The Developer may modify the App and the Reading Service (features, limits, providers) for justified technical, security, legal or economic-sustainability reasons, at no additional cost to the User. Changes that have a more than negligible negative impact on the use of the Reading Service during a subscription period already paid for are communicated to the User reasonably in advance on a durable medium (a notice in the App that remains accessible from the More section (the fourth tab of the App), or a message from the Store), indicating the characteristics and the time of the change. In that case the consumer User may terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days of receiving the communication or, if later, of the time of the change, with a refund of the part of the price corresponding to the period not enjoyed, in accordance with the rules of the Codice del consumo (Italian Consumer Code) on the modification of digital services (Article 135-vicies semel et seq., which transpose Directive (EU) 2019/770); the refund is made through the Store.

The Developer may also update these Terms to adapt them to changes in the App, in the law or in the Stores' rules. The version in force is the one published on this page with the date indicated at the top; the App update that accompanies a new version of the Terms notifies the User with a notice and allows them to read the Terms from the More section (the fourth tab of the App). The new Terms apply to the subscription periods following their publication. Use of the App after the update counts as acceptance of the new Terms; a User who does not accept them must stop using the App and, where applicable, cancel the subscription.

9. Withdrawal, refunds and service unavailability

Payments are collected by the Store, which is the seller of the subscription; the Developer does not receive or process the User's payment data.

Right of withdrawal. The consumer User has the right of withdrawal within 14 days of purchase, under Article 52 et seq. of the Codice del consumo. Withdrawal is exercised against the Store, following the procedures indicated in its terms (Apple: from the purchase history of the Apple Account or with the withdrawal form; Google Play: against Google Commerce Limited, with the withdrawal form). The right of withdrawal concerns the first purchase and not renewals. Since the Reading Service begins immediately after purchase at the User's request, in the event of withdrawal an amount proportionate to the service already received may be retained, under Article 57, paragraph 3, of the Codice del consumo, without prejudice to the more favourable conditions of the Store.

Refunds. Withdrawal within 14 days of the first purchase and refunds are requested from the Store, which is the seller (Apple · Google). If the Reading Service does not work as described, the consumer User is entitled to have the service brought into conformity, to a price reduction or to termination with a refund of the part of the price not enjoyed, under Article 135-octiesdecies et seq. of the Codice del consumo. Refund requests that the Store refers to the Developer (Google Play, after 48 hours from purchase) receive a reply within 14 days. When a refund that is due cannot be made through the Store, the Developer makes it directly, by the means of payment indicated by the User, within 14 days of the request.

Unavailability of the Reading Service. For any unavailability of the Reading Service lasting more than 24 consecutive hours, including unavailability due to providers or to an order of an authority, the Developer extends the subscription by a period equal to the unavailability, at the User's request to the address indicated at the top or, where technically possible, without a request, without prejudice to any other protection provided by law.

10. Availability and suspension

The App and the Reading Service are provided with the characteristics described in the Stores and in these Terms. Without prejudice to the consumer User's rights regarding conformity, the Developer does not promise uninterrupted continuity of the service, the absence of errors in the estimates or suitability for purposes other than those indicated in Article 2. Before suspending access to the Reading Service for violation of Articles 5 and 5-bis, the Developer notifies the User in the App or through the Store, states the reasons and grants 7 days to cease the use that is not permitted. Immediate suspension is permitted only for technical circumvention of the limits, automated use, sending of unlawful content, payment dispute or reversal (chargeback), established fraud, or when required by a legal obligation or a request from an authority. In the event of permanent suspension, the period paid for and not enjoyed is refunded, except in the case of fraud. The Developer may temporarily limit the Reading Service to defend against cyber attacks; in that case the extension provided for in Article 9 applies. "Use on behalf of third parties" means the professional or bulk activity of reading other people's receipts, not use for the vehicles of one's own family.

11. Liability

The Developer's obligation is limited to what is described in Articles 2, 4 and 5. The following are not part of the obligation, and therefore do not constitute a breach by the Developer: the accuracy of the estimates and values calculated by the App; the accuracy of the fuel prices published by third-party sources; the accuracy of the automatic reading of receipts, which the User is required to check before saving; the safekeeping and recovery of the data that the User keeps on the device or in their own cloud space; the operation of third-party services (Apple, Google, artificial-intelligence providers, sources of fuel prices, communication networks); the decisions taken by the User on the basis of the App's data.

The Developer is liable for the Reading Service even when it relies on providers, within the limits of the law. The following are not part of the obligation, and remain the User's responsibility: checking the fields proposed by the reading before saving; checking the exported sheets before using them for reimbursements, declarations or disputes; the safekeeping, copying and sharing of the data that the User keeps on their own device or in their own cloud space; the decisions the User takes on the basis of the App's data. The User's rights under Article 82 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and every mandatory consumer right remain unaffected.

12. Intellectual property and licence

The Kilòmetro name and logo, and the code, texts, graphics and icons of the App belong to the Developer or to their respective owners and are protected by copyright and industrial-property law. The App contains third-party components licensed under open-source licences, listed with the related licence texts in the App's Licences section. Maps and third-party data belong to their respective owners (OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL licence; OpenMapTiles; OpenFreeMap; Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy, IODL 2.0 licence; Ministère de l'Économie, Licence Ouverte 2.0; E-Control) and are used under their licences; the Developer is not affiliated with these entities. The Developer grants the User a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the App on the devices linked to their Store account, within the limits of these Terms and of the Store's rules. It is prohibited to copy, modify, decompile, disassemble, resell or distribute the App, or to circumvent the protections of the Store or of the Reading Service, without prejudice to the mandatory rights provided for in Articles 64-ter and 64-quater of legge 633/1941 (the Italian Copyright Law). No ownership right or implied licence beyond the one indicated here is transferred to the User. The logbook data remain the User's.

13. Relations with the Stores

For everything not expressly provided for in these Terms, the terms of the Store from which the App was downloaded apply: the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which include the Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Apple's standard EULA) applicable to the licence of the App downloaded from the App Store, or the Google Play Terms of Service, under which the seller of the subscription in the European Union is Google Commerce Limited. In relations between the User and the Store, the Store's terms prevail; these Terms govern the Reading Service and the aspects of the App not governed by the Store. The Developer, and not the Store, is responsible for the App, its maintenance and support and any complaints concerning it.

13-bis. Discontinuation of the App and end of support

The Developer may cease the development or distribution of the App, or the Reading Service, with at least 60 days' notice in the App, on this page and through the Store, including because of the Developer's supervening impossibility; in that case the person designated by the Developer may carry out the discontinuation. From the communication, subscriptions do not renew, the subscription is withdrawn from sale and the part of the price relating to the period not enjoyed is refunded through the Store or, if the Store does not allow it, directly by the Developer within 14 days. In the notice the Developer reminds the User to export the logbook to Excel, a format readable without the App. The App continues to work without a network connection for as long as the operating system allows. The Developer provides security updates for at least 5 years from the publication of each version; vulnerability reports must be sent to the address indicated at the top.

14. Applicable law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Italian law, without prejudice to the more favourable mandatory provisions of the law of the country of habitual residence of the consumer User (Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008). For disputes with a consumer User, the court of the place of residence or elected domicile of the consumer has jurisdiction, under Article 66-bis of the Codice del consumo and, for consumers domiciled in other Member States of the European Union, under Articles 17 and 18 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012. For disputes with Users who are not consumers, the court of the place where the Developer is based has exclusive jurisdiction. The consumer User may also apply to the alternative dispute resolution bodies provided for in Article 141 et seq. of the Codice del consumo. Before any action the parties undertake to seek an amicable solution by writing to the address indicated at the top.

15. Final provisions

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are drawn up in Italian. Versions in other languages are translations made with an artificial-intelligence tool from the Italian text and are provided for the User's convenience. In case of doubt or discrepancy the Italian text prevails, available at silverik.github.io/kilometro-site/termini.html, unless the law of the User's country of residence provides otherwise. Reports of translation errors must be sent to the address indicated at the top.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Store's terms, constitute the entire agreement between the User and the Developer on the use of the App. The invalidity of any clause does not affect the validity of the others. The Developer's failure to object to a violation does not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce it. Communications to the Developer must be sent to puffettodigitale@gmail.com.

In short: the App helps to keep a logbook, but the data are controlled by the User. Receipt reading may make mistakes, depends on third-party providers and may be modified or discontinued with the protections provided by law; it costs what the Store indicates and renews by itself until cancelled; withdrawal and refunds go through the Store.
