Last Updated: 2026–05–29
1. Introduction
This End User License Agreement (“EULA” or “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“user” or “you”) and the developer of the TrueCostAuto mobile application (“we”, “us”, “our”, or Aicrosoft). The Application is licensed to you, not sold.
By downloading, installing, registering, or using the Application, you agree to be bound by this EULA. If you obtained the Application through a third‑party distribution platform (Apple App Store, Google Play, etc.), your license is also subject to such platform’s official terms (to the extent they do not conflict). Our data collection and processing practices are governed by our separate Privacy Policy. Acceptance of this EULA does not constitute consent to the Privacy Policy; separate explicit consent will be requested via in‑app pop‑up.
Age Restriction
The Application is intended for adult vehicle owners or purchasers only. It is not designed for or directed to minors (under 18 years of age). If you are a minor, you must stop using and uninstall the Application immediately. You represent that you have full legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If you allow a minor to use your account or device, you are fully responsible for all in‑app purchases, subscriptions, and liabilities.
