Terms of Service
Effective date: July 22, 2026
Last updated: August 11, 2026
Spotlert is operated by Cybernizer LLC, doing business as Spotlert (“Spotlert,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Spotlert website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Spotlert.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into an agreement to use Spotlert.
By using the Service, you confirm that:
- You meet the age requirement
- The information you provide is accurate
- You will use Spotlert only for lawful purposes
- You are not prohibited from using the Service under applicable law
2. Accounts and Security
You may need to create an account and verify your email address.
You agree to:
- Provide accurate and current information
- Keep your password and account credentials confidential
- Use only your own account
- Notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without permission
- Accept responsibility for activity performed through your account, except where prohibited by law
We may require you to confirm your password before certain sensitive actions, including account deletion.
3. What Spotlert Does
Spotlert provides community parking and private household vehicle-sharing features.
Community parking features may allow users to create or join private groups and share community-generated information about possible parking availability.
Private household vehicle features may allow authorized household members to:
- Add and manage shared vehicles
- Save where a shared vehicle is parked
- Mark a vehicle as in use
- View shared vehicle information
- Enter vehicle mileage manually
- Create and complete vehicle reminders
- Receive vehicle and reminder notifications
Features may also include group boundaries, parking reports, availability counts, vehicle-fit information, spot updates, hold requests, messages, map tools, push notifications, household invitations, and related tools.
Features may change, be limited, or be removed over time.
4. Community-Generated Parking Information
Parking reports are created and updated by users.
Spotlert does not independently verify every report and does not guarantee that:
- A reported parking space exists
- A reported space is still available
- A location is legal or safe for parking
- A vehicle will fit
- A map pin or description is exact
- A report has not expired, changed, or been posted in error
- Another user will honor a hold request
You are responsible for checking signs, meters, hydrants, driveways, curb markings, permits, street-cleaning rules, construction notices, emergency restrictions, and all other local laws and conditions.
5. No Reservation or Ownership Right
A parking report does not reserve, assign, own, control, or guarantee access to a parking space.
A hold request is an informal and voluntary communication between users. It is not a reservation, contract, property right, or guarantee.
You may not unlawfully block, occupy, save, or control a parking space.
6. Safe Use
Do not use Spotlert while driving or operating a moving vehicle.
Use the Service only when safely and legally parked, or when a passenger can use it without distracting the driver.
This includes saving a vehicle location, updating mileage, completing reminders, or changing a vehicle's state.
Spotlert is not an emergency service, navigation authority, traffic-control service, automotive service provider, or substitute for posted signs, local laws, law enforcement, emergency services, manufacturer instructions, professional advice, or personal judgment.
7. Location Information
Spotlert may request foreground location permission or allow you to select locations manually.
You are responsible for ensuring that coordinates, boundaries, descriptions, and reports you submit are appropriate and lawful.
You may not use Spotlert to expose or misuse another person's residence, routine, identity, or sensitive location.
Shared Vehicle Locations
Household members may deliberately save the parked location of a shared vehicle.
A saved vehicle location represents the coordinates selected or confirmed by a household member at the time of submission.
Spotlert does not guarantee that:
- GPS coordinates are exact
- A derived or displayed address is exact
- A vehicle remains at the saved location
- Another household member remembered to update the vehicle location
- A parking note or description is accurate or current
The saved map coordinates are used by the Service as the vehicle-location reference. Any displayed address is descriptive and may differ from the exact pin.
Spotlert does not continuously track a shared vehicle, its driver, or household members through this feature.
You should verify the vehicle's actual location and surroundings before relying on a saved location.
8. Groups, Households, and Administration
Users may be allowed to create and manage private parking groups and private households.
Parking Groups
Group owners and administrators may approve, reject, remove, or block members; review join requests; assign certain roles; configure settings; create or edit boundaries; remove reports; and archive or delete group content.
Households
Household owners and administrators may invite, approve, remove, or manage members; manage roles where permitted; add or manage vehicles; manage reminders; and perform other household-administration actions provided by the Service.
Membership and Access Decisions
Group owners and administrators, and household owners and administrators, are responsible for deciding whom they invite, approve, retain, remove, or grant administrative privileges.
Approving or inviting another user may give that person access to information shared within the applicable group or household, including information that may be private or location-related.
You should only grant access to people you trust and should remove access when it is no longer appropriate.
Spotlert provides membership and access-control tools but does not independently verify the identity, relationship, trustworthiness, or suitability of every person you choose to invite or approve.
To the extent permitted by law, Spotlert is not responsible for access or use of information by a person whom you or another authorized group or household administrator chose to approve, except where the access results from a failure of Spotlert's own access controls.
Group and household administrators act independently and are responsible for their own decisions.
Spotlert does not guarantee admission to any parking group or household and is not responsible for disputes between owners, administrators, members, applicants, invitees, or third parties.
9. Group and Household Ownership
The user who creates a parking group or household may become its owner.
Ownership may be transferable according to features available in the Service.
If an owner leaves, deletes their account, or otherwise becomes unavailable, ownership may need to transfer to another eligible administrator or member before the group or household can continue.
Spotlert may block an account deletion or ownership-related action when necessary to avoid leaving a shared parking group or household without an eligible owner.
If a shared parking group or household can continue under another eligible administrator, ownership may transfer according to the Service's implemented ownership rules.
If no eligible successor exists, the applicable group or household may need to be deleted before or as part of account deletion.
We are not required to restore a parking group or household deleted through an authorized ownership or deletion process.
10. Shared Vehicles
Household members may use Spotlert to share information about vehicles available within their household.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to add, describe, locate, or otherwise share information about a vehicle through Spotlert.
Vehicle information may include:
- Vehicle name and identifying details
- Current parked or in-use status
- Saved parking location
- Optional address or parking note
- Manually entered mileage
- Vehicle reminders
A household vehicle location is not a public parking report and does not indicate that the saved location is available for parking.
Marking a vehicle as “in use” does not mean Spotlert is tracking the vehicle or driver.
Household members are responsible for keeping shared vehicle information reasonably current when they choose to rely on it.
11. Vehicle Mileage and Reminders
Spotlert may provide convenience tools for manually recording vehicle mileage and creating reminders for items such as:
- Oil changes
- Inspections
- Registration
- Insurance
- Tire rotation
- Other maintenance or vehicle-related tasks
Mileage information is entered manually by users unless Spotlert expressly states otherwise.
Spotlert does not inspect your vehicle, connect to its odometer, determine its mechanical condition, or independently determine what maintenance, repair, inspection, registration, insurance, or other work is required.
Reminder dates, mileage thresholds, notes, and repeat schedules are based on information entered or configured by users.
Reminder Limitations
Vehicle reminders are provided solely as a convenience.
Spotlert does not guarantee that:
- A reminder is correct for your vehicle
- A reminder reflects manufacturer recommendations
- A reminder reflects legal or regulatory requirements
- Mileage entered by a user is accurate
- A reminder will be delivered on time
- A notification will be received
- Completing a reminder means required work was actually performed
- A vehicle is safe, properly maintained, registered, insured, inspected, or legally compliant
You remain responsible for determining and completing all maintenance, inspection, repair, registration, insurance, safety, and legal requirements applicable to your vehicle.
Follow manufacturer guidance, applicable law, professional advice, and your own judgment.
12. User Content
“User Content” includes group names, household names, descriptions, join or invitation information, boundaries, parking locations, vehicle locations, vehicle details, reports, notes, hold messages, mileage entries, reminders, reminder completion information, and other material you submit.
You keep ownership of your User Content.
You give Spotlert a limited, nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, display, transmit, and technically modify your User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, support, moderate, and improve the Service, and to comply with law.
You confirm that you have the right to submit your User Content and that it does not violate another person's rights.
13. Prohibited Conduct
You may not:
- Submit deliberately false or misleading parking reports
- Deliberately submit false or misleading vehicle, location, mileage, or reminder information for an abusive or fraudulent purpose
- Harass, threaten, stalk, intimidate, or discriminate against another person
- Use location information to track, target, harass, or endanger someone
- Submit unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, or infringing content
- Impersonate another person or organization
- Access another user's account
- Share authentication credentials
- Bypass group, household, membership, approval, permissions, rate limits, or security controls
- Attempt to access a household, vehicle, location, or reminder that you are not authorized to access
- Scrape, disrupt, overload, or interfere with the Service
- Upload malware or malicious code
- Use automated systems without authorization
- Obstruct or unlawfully save a parking space
- Use Spotlert while driving
- Violate applicable laws, regulations, permits, or third-party rights
14. Moderation and Enforcement
Spotlert and authorized group or household administrators may remove or restrict content when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users or the public, address false or abusive activity, respond to complaints, maintain group or household integrity, comply with law, or protect the Service.
We may warn, suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts, groups, households, or access to features.
We are not required to monitor all activity and cannot guarantee that inaccurate, abusive, objectionable, or inappropriate content will be found or removed immediately.
To report abuse, contact support@spotlert.com.
15. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe that you violated these Terms, your account presents a security risk, your activity may harm someone, your use may create legal exposure, action is required by law, or the Service is being discontinued.
Where appropriate, you may contact support@spotlert.com to request review.
16. Account Deletion
You may delete your account through the Settings area of Spotlert.
You may also request deletion at:
https://spotlert.com/account-deletion
Account deletion is permanent and may remove account information, memberships, notifications, sessions, device tokens, reports, holds, and other account-related information.
Account deletion does not necessarily delete a shared parking group or household if other eligible members or administrators remain.
Where required by the Service's ownership rules, you may need to transfer ownership or promote an eligible administrator before deleting your account.
If a shared parking group or household survives account deletion, information that belongs to the shared group or household may remain.
For example, historical vehicle-location records or reminder-completion records may remain associated with a household even after the person who created or completed them is no longer an active member. Personal attribution to a deleted account may be removed or no longer displayed according to the Service's implemented behavior.
Deleting a vehicle, household, or reminder may also delete related records according to the Service's implemented deletion process.
Some information may remain temporarily in backups, logs, support records, provider systems, or previously delivered communications where needed for security, legal compliance, or technical operations.
See the Spotlert Privacy Policy for more information.
17. Notifications
Spotlert may send push notifications, email, in-app notifications, or other communications related to:
- Parking reports
- Group activity
- Membership activity
- Hold requests
- Household activity
- Shared vehicle status
- Vehicle reminders
- Account and security activity
Notification delivery depends on factors outside Spotlert's control, including device settings, internet connectivity, operating-system behavior, push providers, email providers, and other third-party services.
We do not guarantee that any notification will be delivered, received, displayed, or received at a particular time.
You should not rely solely on Spotlert notifications to satisfy maintenance, inspection, registration, insurance, parking, safety, legal, or other time-sensitive obligations.
18. Third-Party Services
Spotlert may rely on third-party map, notification, hosting, email, security, and infrastructure providers.
Your use of those services may also be subject to their terms and privacy policies.
We do not control and are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, or practices of third-party services.
19. Spotlert Ownership
Except for User Content and third-party materials, the Service, software, design, branding, text, graphics, interfaces, and features are owned by Spotlert or its licensors.
These Terms give you a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable right to use the Service for its intended purpose.
You may not copy, sell, license, distribute, modify, or commercially exploit the Service except with written permission or where applicable law permits.
20. Service Availability and Changes
We may modify, update, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the Service.
The Service may be unavailable because of maintenance, software errors, internet failures, provider outages, security incidents, or events beyond our reasonable control.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free operation.
21. No Professional Advice
Spotlert does not provide legal, parking-enforcement, traffic, automotive, mechanical, maintenance, inspection, insurance, safety, property, or other professional advice.
Information shown through the Service does not replace:
- Posted signs
- Local laws
- Official instructions
- Vehicle-manufacturer recommendations
- Government inspection or registration requirements
- Insurance requirements
- Advice from a qualified mechanic or other professional
22. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Spotlert is provided “as is” and “as available.”
We do not guarantee that parking information, vehicle information, saved locations, mileage information, or reminders will be accurate, current, complete, legal, safe, available, or suitable for your needs.
We do not guarantee that a shared vehicle will remain at a saved location or that household members will keep vehicle status, mileage, or reminders current.
We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, reliability, and security to the extent permitted by law.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.
23. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Spotlert and its operator, service providers, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to the Service.
This includes claims involving:
- Parking tickets
- Towing
- Vehicle damage
- Personal injury
- Property damage
- Lost data
- Missed notifications
- Missed maintenance or inspection reminders
- Incorrect or outdated mileage
- Reliance on a saved vehicle location
- Inability to locate a vehicle
- Disputes between users or household members
- Reliance on parking reports
- Service interruptions
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
24. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any dispute that must be brought in court will be handled in an appropriate state or federal court located in New York, unless applicable consumer law requires otherwise.
25. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and may provide additional notice when required.
Your continued use of Spotlert after updated Terms become effective means that the updated Terms apply to your continued use, to the extent permitted by law.
26. General Terms
If part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented through the Service, form the agreement between you and Spotlert concerning the Service.
