This is a translation. If there is any difference, the Portuguese version prevails.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the use of the Vanwise app and its associated services ("Service"), operated by Kernvox OÜ ("we", "us", "Kernvox").
By creating an account or using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Vanwise is a navigation app designed for motorhomes, camper vans and vans, which includes:
To use the app you need to create an account, through Sign in with Apple. The account is what lets you contribute (comment, rate, report, submit places).
You are responsible for the security of your account. If you suspect unauthorised access, contact us immediately.
You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Account → Delete account, or by emailing vanwise@kernvox.com.
Vanwise lets users contribute content: comments, ratings, road reports and places. By submitting content, you guarantee that:
By submitting content, you grant Kernvox a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and transferable licence to use, copy, modify, distribute and display that content within the scope of the Service. This licence continues even after the account is deleted, because contributions are anonymised and continue to serve the community.
Each user of the Service likewise receives a non-exclusive licence to access and use the contributions within the app.
You keep your rights over the content you submit.
We may remove content that breaches these Terms or the law, and suspend or close accounts that break the rules repeatedly or seriously. When we do so, we tell you what was removed and why, and you can challenge the decision by emailing vanwise@kernvox.com.
If you find content that you consider offensive or incorrect, you can report it in the app (Report button) or by emailing vanwise@kernvox.com.
The app uses the device's location for navigation, alerts and to show nearby places. During navigation, your speed is shared anonymously to detect queues. Sharing can be turned off in Settings.
Speed points are aggregated by road section and discarded immediately: no individual journeys exist on the server. More information in the Privacy Policy.
Vanwise provides navigation information and alerts based on the available data, including community contributions. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any information shown.
It is the driver's responsibility to comply with the highway code, road signs and local laws. The app is an aid and does not replace paying attention to driving.
Information about routes, tunnel heights, bridges, maximum weights and traffic restrictions may be out of date or incorrect. Always check on site.
Vanwise is free, with paid features ("Premium"). Until the subscription is available on the App Store, all features are available at no cost; we will let you know in the app before this changes.
After that, Premium features require an App Store subscription, yearly or monthly. First-time subscribers get a 7-day free trial; at the end of that period the subscription starts being charged, unless you cancel it beforehand. The app reminds you before the free period ends. The subscription renews automatically; you can cancel it in your Apple account settings and you keep access until the end of the paid period.
A Founder is anyone who subscribes to the yearly plan by 1 December 2026, including anyone who starts the 7-day free trial within that deadline and does not cancel. A Founder keeps the yearly price they joined at for as long as the subscription stays active without interruption; if they cancel it and come back later, they pay the price in force at that time. The monthly plan always has the normal price. The Founder price is managed by the App Store and is linked to the Apple account used to subscribe.
The prices in force are those shown on the App Store. If you stop having Premium, your data is not deleted: some features become unavailable and, in documents and maintenance records, you can delete what you stored there.
The app, its design, code, brand and logo are the property of Kernvox OÜ. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or use any part of the app without written permission, except for personal, non-commercial use as provided for in these Terms.
Map data belongs to the respective providers (Apple Maps, © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), © Câmara Municipal de Lisboa (open data, CC BY) and others). Its use is subject to those providers' conditions.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
Kernvox is not liable for:
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kernvox's total liability to you, whatever the cause, is limited to one hundred euros (100 €).
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that the law does not allow to be excluded, in particular for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for wilful misconduct or for gross negligence, nor does it affect your rights as a consumer.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kernvox, its staff and representatives from any claim, damage, loss or expense (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your contributions or your breach of these Terms.
The app may contain links to or integrations with third-party services (Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap). Kernvox is not responsible for the content, availability or privacy practices of those services.
We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also change these Terms. Significant changes will be announced in the app. Continuing to use the Service after the change constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
We may suspend or end your access to the Service if you breach these Terms or the law (see section 6), or if we discontinue the Service, in which case we will give reasonable notice. You can close your account whenever you wish (see section 3). The sections on the licence over contributions, limitation of liability and indemnity survive termination.
The Service is not intended for people under 16. By creating an account, you declare that you are at least 16 years old.
These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Estonia. In the event of a dispute, the parties undertake to attempt an amicable resolution before going to court. The competent courts are those of Tallinn, Estonia, without prejudice to the rights granted to you by the law of your country of residence.
