1About these Terms
These Terms are an agreement between you and Dereck Ruzzman, who runs Speedometer Widget. "We", "us" and "our" mean Dereck Ruzzman.
The app is licensed to you under Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (Apple's Standard EULA). These Terms are additional to Apple's Standard EULA and do not replace it.
By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you and approve any purchase.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data.
2What the app is
Speedometer Widget is an iPhone app that shows how fast you are going, using your iPhone's location. While a trip runs, it shows your speed on a gauge in the app and, with Pro, in a Live Activity.
- Free: the in-app speedometer and the speed alert, which turns the gauge coral and vibrates the phone when you pass a speed you choose.
- Pro: the Live Activity, which shows your speed on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, on the CarPlay Dashboard (iOS 26 or later) and in the Apple Watch Smart Stack, plus Trip history.
Where the Live Activity appears, and how often it refreshes, is decided by iOS, CarPlay and watchOS, not by the app. Your car must support CarPlay, and your watch must be paired with your iPhone.
3Safety and accuracy
The speed shown can be wrong
The app works out your speed from your iPhone's location readings. It is an estimate, not a certified measurement. It can be wrong, late or missing, for example:
- In tunnels, parking garages, among tall buildings, under thick trees or anywhere the GPS signal is weak.
- Just after a trip starts, while your iPhone finds its position.
- When iOS limits location updates, such as in Low Power Mode or when the app runs in the background.
- On the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, CarPlay and Apple Watch, which iOS refreshes less often than the app's own screen.
Your vehicle's speedometer and the posted speed limit are what count. Do not rely on the app to keep within a speed limit, as evidence of your speed, for example to dispute a ticket, or for anything else where an exact speed matters.
The speed alert is a convenience
The speed alert can fire late, or not at all, if the speed reading is wrong or the app is not on screen. You are always responsible for the speed you drive.
Drive safely
- Start a trip and set the alert before you drive. Do not handle your phone while driving. Let a passenger do it, or stop safely first.
- Mount your phone securely where it does not block your view, and follow the law where you are on phones and screens in vehicles.
- Pay attention to the road, not to the app.
Battery and location
While a trip runs, the app keeps using location in the background, which uses battery. Location turns off when you end the trip, in the app or from the Live Activity.
4Pro subscription
Plans and prices
- Pro Yearly: $19.99 a year.
- Pro Weekly: $4.99 a week.
These are US prices. The App Store shows the price and currency for your country before you buy. Both plans include the same Pro features.
Neither plan includes a free trial. If we offer one in the future, the subscription screen will show its length and the price that follows before you agree.
Auto-renewal
Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each year or week, at the same price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Apple charges the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
Cancelling
Cancel in iPhone Settings: tap your name, then Subscriptions. Apple's guide shows how. Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to stop the next charge. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
When Pro ends
New trips no longer start a Live Activity, and Trip history locks until you subscribe again. Trips already saved stay on your phone. The in-app speedometer and speed alert keep working.
Refunds
Apple processes payments and refunds, and we cannot issue a refund in Apple's systems. To ask for one, use Apple's process at reportaproblem.apple.com.
This does not limit any legal right you have to a refund or price reduction from us. If Apple declines and the law entitles you to money back, contact us and we will pay you directly.
EU and UK right to withdraw
If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you may have the right to withdraw from an online purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. Apple runs this for App Store purchases.
To withdraw, use Withdraw Transaction in your Apple Account's Purchase History, or email rightofwithdrawal@apple.com. Apple's EU terms and UK terms explain the time limit and when it may not apply.
These Terms do not ask you to give up this right.
Price changes
We may change a price if our costs, taxes or exchange rates change. If we raise one, Apple will tell you before it applies, under Apple's rules. Where Apple's rules or the law require your agreement, your subscription will not renew at the new price without it.
Restoring a purchase
Restore is on the subscription screen, and the app also offers it if that screen cannot open. It turns Pro on for this phone if your Apple Account has an active subscription, and it never charges you.
Pro is tied to a random ID on your phone. Restoring on a second phone can move Pro off the first one. A new phone set up from a backup of your old phone keeps the same ID.
5Acceptable use
The app is for your personal use. You must not:
- Use it in a way that breaks the law, including traffic and phone-use laws, or anyone's rights.
- Present a speed or trip from the app as an official or certified measurement.
- Copy, modify or reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it.
- Get around the subscription, or use someone else's purchase or ID.
- Disrupt or try to break into the app or the services it relies on.
6Your license to the app
We and our licensors own the app. We license it to you under Apple's Standard EULA, which sets out what that license allows. All other rights are reserved.
Your saved trips stay on your phone and are yours.
7Other companies' services
The app relies on Apple (for location, Live Activities, CarPlay, Apple Watch and the App Store), RevenueCat, Superwall and Amplitude. If one of them has a problem, part of the app may not work. Buying, restoring and loading prices need an internet connection.
The app can open iPhone Settings and Apple's subscription page. What happens there is up to Apple and you.
8Disclaimers
This section does not apply to consumers in the EU or UK. Section 10 applies to them instead.
As far as the law allows, we provide the app "as is" and "as available". As far as the law allows, we give no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including that the speed, distance or any other figure is accurate, or that the app will be uninterrupted or free of errors.
You are responsible for how you drive and for any decision you make based on the app.
9Limits of liability
This section does not apply to consumers in the EU or UK. Section 10 applies to them instead.
As far as the law allows:
- We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, data or goodwill.
- We are not liable for speeding tickets, fines, penalties or insurance costs, or for loss caused by relying on a speed, distance or alert shown by the app.
- Our total liability for all claims is limited to the greater of what you paid for Pro in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not let us limit.
10Your consumer rights
Nothing in these Terms takes away rights that you have under consumer law and cannot give up. If a part of these Terms conflicts with those rights, those rights win.
If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, sections 8 and 9 do not apply to you. Instead:
- The law gives you rights over digital content and services, such as an app that matches its description and is provided with reasonable care and skill.
- We are liable for foreseeable loss that we cause by breaking these Terms or by not using reasonable care and skill.
- We are not liable for loss that was not foreseeable, or for business loss.
- Nothing limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for defective products, or for anything else the law does not let us limit.
11Apple's role
These points apply because you got the app from Apple's App Store.
- Parties. These Terms are between you and Dereck Ruzzman only, not Apple. Dereck Ruzzman, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content. These Terms do not conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. If they ever do, Apple's terms apply to that point.
- Maintenance and support. Dereck Ruzzman alone provides maintenance and support for the app, as stated in these Terms or required by law. Apple has no duty to provide any.
- Warranty. Dereck Ruzzman alone is responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they are not validly disclaimed. If the app fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, to you. As far as the law allows, Apple has no other warranty duty for the app. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses from a failure to meet a warranty are Dereck Ruzzman's responsibility.
- Product claims. Dereck Ruzzman, not Apple, is responsible for dealing with any claims by you or a third party about the app or your use of it. These include product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
- Intellectual property. If a third party claims that the app, or your use of it, infringes their intellectual property rights, Dereck Ruzzman, not Apple, is solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
- Legal compliance. You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Developer contact. Send questions, complaints or claims about the app to Dereck Ruzzman at speedometerwidget@apps.support.
- Third-party terms. You must follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your wireless data service agreement.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
12Governing law
The laws of the State of Delaware, United States, govern these Terms. If you are a consumer, you also keep the mandatory protections of the law where you live.
If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you can bring a claim in the courts where you live, and we can only bring a claim against you there.
For everyone else, the courts of the State of Delaware, United States, handle disputes about these Terms, subject to local law.
13Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms for legal, security or provider reasons, or when the app changes. We will change the date at the top. For a material change, we will tell you at least 30 days ahead, in an app update or on this page. If you keep using the app after that, the new Terms apply, unless the law requires your agreement. If you do not agree, stop using the app and cancel your subscription.
14Ending the service
You can stop at any time. Cancel your subscription through Apple and delete the app.
We may change the app for security, legal or provider reasons, or to improve it. If a change makes Pro materially worse, we will tell you at least 30 days ahead, in an app update or on this page, and you may cancel. If we stop offering Pro, we will give at least 30 days' notice the same way and stop renewals. Your statutory rights, and Apple's refund process, still apply.
Sections that by their nature should continue, such as 8, 9 and 12, continue after these Terms end.
