By subscribing to our services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of a business, you confirm that you have authority to bind that business.
2. The Services
We provide a hosted software platform for diesel repair shops and similar automotive businesses. Standard services include:
- A customer-facing website with your shop's branding

- Online service booking
- Invoicing and online payment processing (via Stripe and PayPal)
- Admin dashboard for managing your shop's content, customers, and operations
Optional add-on modules (Workshop Management, Accounting & Financials, Custom Domain Setup) may be added to your subscription. Add-ons are subject to additional fees as published on our website.
3. Your Account
To use the services, you must create an account and provide accurate information about your business. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Promptly notifying us of any unauthorized access

You may not create more than one account per business without our written permission. You may not share your account with third parties or use it on behalf of others not authorized by the account owner.
4. Payment and Subscription
Setup fees
One-time setup fees (currently $2,500 for the standard package, $49 for custom domain configuration) are charged at the start of your subscription. Setup fees are non-refundable once setup work has begun.
Monthly subscription
Monthly subscription fees are charged in advance on the same day each month, starting on the date you first subscribe. We use Stripe for payment processing. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
Failed payments
If a recurring payment fails, Stripe will automatically retry over the following days. You will receive notifications from Stripe and from us. If payment remains unsuccessful after Stripe's retry schedule, your subscription will be paused and your shop's site may be temporarily disabled until payment is resolved.
Refunds
Monthly subscription fees are non-refundable for partial months. If you cancel mid-month, you retain access for the remainder of the billing period. Setup fees are non-refundable.
Price changes
We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes take effect at the start of the next billing cycle after the notice period.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree NOT to use the services to:
- Violate any law or regulation
- Send spam or unsolicited communications
- Upload or distribute malware, viruses, or harmful code
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts or our systems
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the platform without our written agreement
- Impersonate another business or individual
- Scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the platform
- Use the platform for adult content, gambling, illegal goods, or other prohibited activities
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
6. Your Content
You retain ownership of all content you upload to the platform, including your business information, customer records, photos, logos, and any other materials ("Your Content").
By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to host, store, and display that content as necessary to provide the services. This license ends when you delete the content or cancel your subscription.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to upload Your Content and that it does not infringe any third party's rights.
We do not claim ownership of your customer data. On cancellation, we'll export your customer records, invoices, service history, and other operational data in standard formats (CSV/JSON) within 30 days of your request.
7. Intellectual Property
We own all rights to the platform itself, including the source code, designs, trademarks, and documentation. Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the platform for your business. This license ends when your subscription ends.
"AZ Global Automotive Software" and our logo are our trademarks. You may not use them without our written permission, except to refer to us as a service provider.
8. Service Availability
We use industry-standard hosting infrastructure (Netlify, Supabase) with high availability targets. However, we do not guarantee 100% uptime. Scheduled maintenance, third-party outages, internet issues, or unforeseen technical problems may cause temporary unavailability.
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to:
- Maintain 99%+ uptime
- Provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance when possible
- Respond to critical issues during business hours within 1 business day
We are not liable for outages caused by factors outside our control.
9. Cancellation and Termination
You cancel
You may cancel your subscription at any time by:
- Using the self-service customer portal at azgasystems.com/account.html
- Or emailing hello@azglobalautomotive.com
After cancellation, you retain access until the end of your current billing period. We retain your data for 30 days after cancellation to allow data export. After 30 days, your account and data are permanently deleted.
We terminate
We may suspend or terminate your account if you:
- Fail to pay your subscription after the retry period
- Violate the Acceptable Use rules in Section 5
- Engage in fraud or other illegal activity
- Cause harm to our systems or other customers
For non-payment, we'll attempt to contact you before terminating. For severe violations (fraud, system attacks, illegal content), we may terminate immediately.
10. Disclaimers and Warranties
Some jurisdictions don't allow disclaimers of implied warranties, so the above may not apply to you in full.
11. Limitation of Liability
Some jurisdictions don't allow limitation of liability for certain damages, so the above may not apply to you in full.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AZ Global Automotive Software and our service providers from any claims, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from:
- Your use of the services
- Your content uploaded to the platform
- Your violation of these Terms
- Your violation of any law or third party's rights
13. Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any disputes will first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting us at hello@azglobalautomotive.com. We commit to making a good-faith effort to resolve disputes within 30 days.
If informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in Maricopa County, Arizona, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court.
You agree that any dispute will be brought individually and not as part of a class action.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we'll notify active subscribers by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't agree, you may cancel before the changes take effect.
