Terms of use

1. The agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and CloudForge, a limited liability company (SARL) registered in France at 60 rue François Ier, 75008 Paris, SIREN 937 812 311, VAT number FR57 937 812 311 (“we”, “us”), about the DMV Champ app for iPhone and iPad (the “app”) and this website. By installing or using the app you accept them. If you don’t agree with them, don’t use the app.

Our Privacy policy explains how we handle data and is part of these terms.

2. What the app is, and what it is not

The app helps you prepare for the knowledge test for a car driver’s license in the United States. It offers short practices with an explanation for every answer, simulated tests in the format of your state’s test, and a chance of passing based on your simulated tests.

• It is not official. DMV Champ is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected to any Department of Motor Vehicles, any state or federal agency, or the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). “DMV” is used in its ordinary descriptive sense.
• It is not the test. The questions in the app are ours. They are written from the official driver’s handbooks and are meant to teach the same material, but they are not the questions on your state’s test, and a simulated test is not a prediction of the questions you will get.
• It does not guarantee a result. A chance of passing is an estimate based on your simulated tests. It is not a promise that you will pass, and passing depends on you.
• Rules change. We take care to keep the questions, explanations and the per-state test format (number of questions, passing score, time limit) accurate, and we correct them when we learn of an error. Even so, states change their rules and their tests. Your state’s current driver’s handbook and its licensing agency are the authority, not the app. Check them before your test.
• It keeps your progress on your phone. There is no account and no copy of your progress on our servers, so it cannot be restored from them. A version that replaces the questions may reset your progress once, and the app tells you when it does. You can reset it yourself at any time from Settings.
• It reports how it is used. The app sends us how it is used, so we can improve it. The reports are not linked to you and contain nothing you type. The Privacy policy says what they include.

3. Your license to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for your own study, under these terms and under Apple’s App Store terms. The app is licensed to you, not sold.

Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, and where it conflicts with these terms in a way that Apple requires, Apple’s terms prevail for that point. Apple is not a party to this agreement, is not responsible for the app or its content, and has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement and may enforce it against you.

4. What you need

The app runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. The questions and their pictures are downloaded rather than built into the app, so you need an internet connection to start a practice or a test, and a practice may wait a moment while its pictures finish downloading. Once one has started, a lost connection does not interrupt it. Your mobile carrier or internet provider may charge you for the data.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, extract, scrape, redistribute, sell or publish the questions, explanations, pictures or any other content of the app, in whole or in part, other than for your own study within the app
• reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise try to obtain the app’s source code, except where the law expressly allows it
• interfere with our servers, bypass the limits they apply, or use them for anything other than running the app
• use the report or contact features to send content that is unlawful, abusive or unrelated to the app

6. Ownership of the content

The app, its questions, explanations, illustrations, pictures, design and software are owned by CloudForge or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these terms gives you any right in them other than the license in section 3.

The app displays road signs as described in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, a publication of the US Federal Highway Administration; our pictures of them are our own work and carry the app’s mark. The fonts Montserrat and Nunito Sans are used under the SIL Open Font License, version 1.1.

7. What you send us

When you report a question or contact us, you give us permission to use what you wrote to fix the app, improve its content and reply to you. You keep any rights you have in your message. Don’t send us anything you don’t have the right to send. How we store these messages is described in the Privacy policy.

8. Price and purchases

We may offer some or all of the app for a price, as a subscription or a one-time purchase, and we may show advertising in it. Any purchase is made through Apple’s in-app purchase system and is governed by Apple’s terms, including Apple’s rules on billing, renewal, cancellation and refunds. Prices and what they include are shown in the app before you buy. Where a feature or content is offered without charge, we may change that for future versions.

9. No warranty

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted, that its content is complete or current, or that using it will lead to any particular result on a test. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of this section may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, CloudForge is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of the app or your reliance on its content, including a failed test, lost time or the cost of a retake. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you for all claims relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim, or, if you paid nothing, to the lowest amount the law permits. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot be limited by law.

11. Ending the agreement

You can end this agreement at any time by deleting the app. We may end it, or stop offering the app or its content, if you break these terms or if we discontinue the app. Sections 6, 9, 10 and 13 survive the end of the agreement.

12. Changes

We may update these terms. The current version is always at this address with its effective date. If a change is material, we will say so in the app. Using the app after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of France. Any dispute that cannot be settled amicably will be brought before the competent courts of France. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may be able to use your local courts.
