Terms of Service

Last updated: February 23, 2026  ·  Effective: February 23, 2026

Plain-English Summary: Gear AI gives you AI-powered tools to help maintain your bike. You own your data. Our AI is a helpful guide — not a licensed mechanic — so use your judgment on safety-critical repairs. Subscriptions auto-renew; cancel anytime through your iPhone Settings. Don't misuse the app or try to break it. If something goes wrong, our liability is capped at what you paid us in the last 12 months.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Gear AI ("Gear AI," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Gear AI mobile application (the "App"), website, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, creating an account, or making a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. Description of Service

Gear AI is an iOS mobile application that provides cyclists with AI-powered tools for bike maintenance, including:

The Service is available for iOS devices and is distributed exclusively through Apple's App Store. The App requires an active internet connection for AI-powered features (diagnosis, chat, voice).

3. Eligibility & Accounts

3.2 Account Registration

To use most features of the App, you must create an account using a valid email address and password. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated.

3.3 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.

3.4 One Account Per Person

Each person may maintain only one Gear AI account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent subscription requirements, free trial limitations, or account restrictions is a violation of these Terms and may result in termination of all associated accounts.

4. Subscriptions & Billing

4.1 Subscription Plans

Access to premium Gear AI features requires a paid subscription. The following plans are currently offered:

Prices are displayed in USD and may vary by country. Prices are subject to change (see Section 4.6).

4.2 Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. Renewal charges are made to your Apple ID payment method within 24 hours before the end of the current period. By subscribing, you authorize Apple to charge your payment method for renewal automatically.

4.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time. To cancel:

  1. Open your iPhone Settings
  2. Tap your name at the top → Subscriptions
  3. Find Gear AI → tap Cancel Subscription

Cancellation must be made at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period to avoid being charged for the next period. After cancellation, you retain access to premium features through the end of the paid period. Gear AI does not provide refunds for unused portions of a subscription period. For refund requests, contact Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

4.4 Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store's in-app purchase system. We do not collect, store, or process your credit card or payment information. Your payment method is subject to Apple's terms and policies.

4.5 Subscription Management via Superwall

We use Superwall to manage paywall presentation and subscription analytics. Superwall processes limited device and subscription event data on our behalf. Superwall does not have access to your personal account information, bike data, or AI conversation history.

4.6 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription prices at any time. Apple will notify you of any price changes before they take effect. Your continued subscription after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new price. If you do not agree to a price change, you must cancel your subscription before the price change takes effect.

4.7 Failed Payments

If a renewal payment fails, Apple will attempt to process it again. If the payment remains unsuccessful, your subscription will lapse and you will lose access to premium features until a successful payment is made and your subscription is reinstated.

5. Free Trial Terms

5.1 Trial Eligibility

A 3-day free trial is available for the Yearly subscription plan only. Free trials are offered to new Gear AI subscribers who have not previously held a Gear AI subscription. Trial availability is determined by Apple and may be limited or unavailable in certain regions or circumstances.

5.2 Trial Billing

During the free trial, you will have full access to all Gear AI premium features at no charge. If you do not cancel before the 3-day trial period ends, you will automatically be charged $64.99 for the first year of your Yearly subscription. Your Apple ID payment method will be charged at the end of the trial.

5.3 Cancelling a Trial

To avoid being charged, cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the trial period ends using the instructions in Section 4.3. Cancelling during the trial will not result in any charge, and you will retain access to premium features through the end of the trial period.

5.4 One Trial Per Person

Free trials are intended for new subscribers only. Creating multiple accounts or using multiple Apple IDs to obtain additional free trials is a violation of these Terms.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Without limiting the foregoing, Gear AI does not warrant that:

Gear AI is a consumer guidance tool and does not constitute professional mechanical advice. Always verify repair guidance against your bike manufacturer's specifications and consult a qualified bicycle mechanic for safety-critical repairs.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

12.1 Exclusion of Consequential Damages

IN NO EVENT WILL GEAR AI, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER OR DEVICE DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR ANY OTHER LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED GUIDANCE — EVEN IF GEAR AI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12.3 Essential Basis

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND GEAR AI. WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS, GEAR AI COULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE AT THE CURRENT PRICE POINTS.

12.4 Jurisdiction Limitations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, Gear AI's liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Gear AI and its officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:

Gear AI reserves the right to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.

14. Service Modifications & Availability

14.1 Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We may add new features, remove existing features, or change pricing. We will provide reasonable advance notice of material changes where practicable.

14.2 Service Availability

We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or without interruption.

We are not liable for any unavailability of the Service.

14.3 AI Service Dependencies

AI-powered features (diagnosis, chat, voice) depend on OpenAI's API. Interruptions or limitations in OpenAI's service will affect these features. We are not responsible for third-party service outages. Offline features (stored bike data, maintenance history, previously saved repair guides) remain accessible without an internet connection.

14.4 Discontinuation

If we decide to permanently discontinue the Service, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice where possible. If the Service is discontinued during a paid subscription period, we will work to provide a prorated refund through Apple for the unused portion of the subscription period.

15. Termination

15.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it through the App (Settings → Account → Delete Account) or by contacting us at hello@gear-ai.app. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel an active subscription — you must cancel your subscription separately through your iOS Settings.

15.2 Termination by Gear AI

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, if we determine that you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or if continued provision of the Service to you poses a legal or security risk to us or other users.

Upon termination of your account:

16. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

Before filing a formal claim, you agree to contact us at hello@gear-ai.app and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 30 days of receiving notice.

16.3 Binding Arbitration (US Users)

If informal resolution is unsuccessful, you and Gear AI agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved through binding individual arbitration, not in court, except for claims that qualify for small claims court. The arbitration will be conducted by a recognized arbitration provider under their applicable commercial arbitration rules. YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION.

16.4 Exception — Injunctive Relief

Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for matters involving intellectual property infringement or breach of confidentiality obligations.

16.5 EU/UK Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer under EU or UK consumer protection law, including your right to bring a claim before your national courts.
