Terms of Use
Last updated: October 3, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the DutyPal mobile application ("DutyPal", "the App"), provided by Firma Usługowa Jarosław Jezierczak, Ul. Poniatowskiego 249C, 34-700 Rabka-Zdrój, Poland ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms.
1. What DutyPal is
DutyPal is a Hours of Service logbook assistant for commercial drivers in the United States. It helps you record duty status, see remaining driving, shift and cycle time, track short-haul conditions and prepare reports.
DutyPal is not an electronic logging device (ELD) and does not replace one where an ELD is required. Please read the Disclaimer, which is part of these Terms.
2. Your responsibility
You are responsible for:
- complying with the hours-of-service rules and other regulations that apply to you,
- not reading, typing on or otherwise operating the App while the vehicle is moving, and complying with the federal ban on texting and hand-held mobile phone use by commercial drivers (49 CFR 392.80, 392.82) and any stricter state or local law,
- using a registered ELD whenever one is required,
- keeping true and correct records, reviewing and correcting entries made automatically by the App,
- retaining your records and presenting them to enforcement officials when required,
- keeping your device, App settings and permissions in a state that lets the App work as intended.
3. The statement you sign
Before using the App you sign, by typing your name, a statement that DutyPal is not an ELD and that you remain responsible for your hours of service and records. You agree that this typed name is your electronic signature. The App stores the signature, its date and the statement version on your device.
4. Subscriptions
- Core logbook features are free. Some features require a paid subscription ("Premium").
- Subscriptions are purchased and billed through Google Play. Prices, billing periods and any free trial are shown in the App and in Google Play before you buy.
- Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in Google Play; access continues until the end of the paid period.
- Refunds are handled under Google Play's refund policies, without prejudice to any rights you have under applicable consumer law.
- We may change the features included in Premium or its price. Price changes apply in accordance with Google Play's rules, which include notice to existing subscribers.
5. Your data
Your data is stored on your device. You are responsible for making backups of your records, for example with the App's encrypted backup file, and for keeping the backup password safe. We cannot recover lost data or passwords. How we handle information is described in the Privacy Policy.
6. License
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal or business purposes in accordance with these Terms. The App and its content remain our property.
7. Restrictions
You may not:
- copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute the App, except where the law expressly allows it,
- bypass or attempt to bypass subscription restrictions,
- use the App to create false records or for any unlawful purpose.
8. No warranty
The App is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, that its calculations, GPS distances or automatic detection will be accurate, or that its use will ensure compliance with any law or regulation.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for accidents, injury or damage caused by using the App while driving, fines, penalties, out-of-service orders, violations, loss of income, profits or business, incorrect calculations or records, data loss, or any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the App. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 100.
10. Changes and termination
We may update the App and these Terms. The current Terms are always available on this page. Material changes will be indicated by a new "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, in the App. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it and cancelling any subscription.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland. This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer protection laws of the country or state where you live.
12. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full force and effect.
