Terms of Service

Backseat Driver, operated by Backseat Media

Last updated: 2 September 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Backseat Driver mobile application (“the App”), operated by Backseat Media (“we”, “us”, “our”). By downloading, accessing or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

The App is intended for users aged 13 and over, and asks you to confirm this on first launch.

2. The Service

The App provides motorsport schedules and session times for a wide range of racing championships and one-off events, together with session reminders, championship calendars, race-weekend timetables that group every series racing at the same circuit, bookmarks, venue and circuit information, weather forecasts for race venues, and an Atlas globe of the circuits covered.

The App is an independent companion product. It is free to use, requires no account, and contains no advertising and no in-app purchases.

3. Accuracy of Information — Important

Schedules, session times, championship information and weather data are provided for general information only and may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate. Times and events can change at short notice and data is drawn from third-party sources. Do not rely on the App as your sole source when making travel, attendance, ticketing or other decisions. Always confirm details with the official organiser, venue or championship. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any information in the App, and session reminders may be late, missed or not delivered at all — they are a convenience, not a guaranteed service.

4. No Accounts, No User Content

The App has no sign-up or sign-in, and no way for users to post, publish or share content within it. There are no profiles, comments, messages or event-updates channels. Your favourites, bookmarks and settings are held on your own device.

The organiser accounts and event-updates channels offered by earlier versions have been withdrawn. If you had an organiser account, it and its content have been removed.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the App, including by attempting to access it by means other than the interface we provide, interfering with its operation, scraping or overloading our services, reverse engineering, or using it to violate any law or the rights of others.

6. Voluntary Support

The App links to an external “buy me a coffee” page where you may, entirely optionally, support the running costs of the App. Any such payment is a voluntary gift processed by that third-party platform under its own terms. It is not a purchase: it buys no goods, services, features, content or benefits within the App, confers no rights, and is not refundable by us. Nothing in the App is locked behind it.

7. Intellectual Property & Trademarks

The App, its design and its original content are owned by Backseat Media and protected by intellectual property laws. Series names, team names, logos and trademarks (including but not limited to Formula 1®, MotoGP™, IMSA, WEC, NASCAR, IndyCar and others) are the property of their respective owners. Backseat Driver is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to any racing series, championship, team, venue or sanctioning body. Such names are used for identification and informational purposes only.

The App bundles open-source software and open map data; the applicable licences and attributions are listed in the App under Settings → Open Source Licenses.

8. Third-Party Data & Services

The App relies on third-party data and services, including Google Firebase for backend services, Cloudflare for hosting schedule data and serving weather requests, and WeatherAPI.com as the upstream source of forecasts. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy or content of third-party services.

9. Disclaimers

The App is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will be accurate.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Backseat Media will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from reliance on information in the App (including missed sessions or events, travel costs, or wasted expenditure). Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. App Stores

You obtain the App through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and your use is also subject to that store’s own terms. You acknowledge that:

• These Terms are between you and Backseat Media only, not with Apple or Google.
• Backseat Media, not Apple or Google, is solely responsible for the App and its content, and for providing any maintenance and support. Apple and Google have no obligation to furnish support.
• Backseat Media, not Apple or Google, is responsible for addressing any claim that the App or your use of it infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, and for handling any claim relating to the App, including product liability and any claim under consumer protection law.
• In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or withdraw the service, in whole or in part, if required to protect it or its users, or if we stop operating the App.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory local consumer law provides otherwise.
