Terms and Conditions

Version: 2.0 Effective date: September 30, 2026 Language: English. Spanish version: Términos y condiciones Privacy: Privacy Policy

If the Spanish and English versions differ, the Spanish version controls, unless a mandatory consumer-protection rule requires otherwise.

1. Who provides AutoBlack

AutoBlack is a software service operated by Seven Global Continental LLC (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”), with its place of business at 12480 NW 25th Street, Miami, Florida 33182, United States.

American Black is the Company’s brake-parts brand. These Terms govern the AutoBlack software, autoblack.app, and the AutoBlack for Shops plan. Purchases of brake parts or other physical goods from stores, distributors, or catalogs are governed by the seller’s terms, not by these Terms.

In these Terms, the “Service” means the app, accounts, free features, the paid shop plan, the websites autoblack.app and sevenglobalcontinental.cloud, and the systems that support them.

2. Acceptance

By creating an account, signing in, using the app, submitting the contact form, buying the Pro plan, or continuing to use the Service after these Terms are updated, you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

If you act for a shop, store, or company, you represent that you have authority to bind it. That organization is bound together with you.

If you do not accept these Terms, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms. We will post the current version on this page and show the date. If a change is material, we will notify you in the app, by email, or on the site, with the advance notice required by law. Use after the effective date means acceptance, unless the law gives you a right to end the contract.

3. Age and capacity

The Service is not directed to children. You may create an account only if you are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your country if higher, and you have legal capacity to contract.

The shop plan is a business service. The purchaser represents that it is buying for its trade, unless the law of its country still grants non-waivable consumer rights.

4. What the Service is — and what it is not

AutoBlack helps organize vehicle maintenance and, on the paid plan, helps a shop notify its customers. It is a tool for records, date calculations, and notices.

The Service is not a repair shop, a professional diagnosis, a technical inspection, insurance, a warranty on the vehicle, an emergency service, or advice to drive or not to drive. It does not replace the manufacturer’s manual, a qualified technician, or the traffic or inspection rules of the place where the vehicle is used.

Next-service dates, mileage figures, and urgency levels are estimates based on data entered by the user or the shop and on product rules. They may be wrong, incomplete, or unfit for that vehicle. Before any decision about brakes, steering, safety, or whether the vehicle is fit to drive, verify it with a professional and with the vehicle’s documentation.

5. Free version

The free version is for vehicle owners and drivers. It has no in-app subscription fee. Depending on the released version, it includes:

  • An account using email and a one-time code (OTP). There is no Google sign-in, Apple sign-in, or password for this account.
  • Profile: first name, last name, phone, company if you provide it, language (Spanish or English), distance unit (kilometers or miles), and an address with coordinates if you save one.
  • Garage: make, model, sub-model, year, license plate if you provide it, and mileage.
  • Service history: type, date, part, notes, mileage, and a repeat interval if you set one.
  • Platform reminders about services you recorded, by push notification and, where applicable, by email.
  • A store list or map and external purchase links.
  • An artificial-intelligence diagnosis assistant, with a daily query limit.
  • Shop vehicle or service cards sent to you, which you may accept or decline.

We may change, limit, or withdraw free features. Where the law requires notice, we will give it.

6. Paid plan: AutoBlack for Shops

6.1 What it includes

The Pro plan (AutoBlack for Shops) is for repair shops and stores. It is purchased on autoblack.app, not inside the mobile app. While the subscription is active and unexpired, the shop may, depending on the released version:

  • Manage the shop profile, customers, vehicles, and services.
  • Send maintenance reminders by email or push, identified with the shop’s name when that option is on.
  • Send promotional notices using the product’s templates, within the quota shown in the app (in the current version, up to three promotional sends per month).
  • See metrics for its own customer base, such as upcoming or overdue services.
  • Invite or link a customer to the app when the product allows it.

If the plan is expired or inactive, write access may become read-only or be blocked until it is activated again.

6.2 Price, payment, and term

The price, taxes, and period are those shown on the plans page and at checkout on autoblack.app at the time of purchase. Payment is processed with WooCommerce. Available methods may include PayPal, card payments through PayPal, and bank transfer, as shown at checkout.

We do not store the full card number or the security code. The payment provider processes that data.

A Pro order that is paid, processing, or completed activates or renews the plan for twelve (12) months from that activation, unless the order itself states a different period in writing. The plan does not renew by itself. To continue after expiry you must purchase again, unless checkout expressly states a recurring subscription.

Pro access is tied to the shop created or renewed from the order’s billing details (shop or buyer name, owner email, phone, address, city, state, and country, if provided).

6.3 Taxes, failed payments, and chargebacks

Taxes shown at checkout are added to the price when they apply. If a payment is reversed, refunded, or disputed, we may suspend the Pro plan tied to that order until the payment is final.

6.4 Cancellation and refunds

You may let the purchased period end. You do not need to cancel an automatic renewal, because the current annual plan is not charged again on its own.

Unless the mandatory law of your country grants a withdrawal or refund right, Pro fees are final and are not prorated if you stop using the Service before expiry.

If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. If you ask for the digital service to start during that period and you acknowledge that at checkout, you may lose the right of withdrawal once the service has been performed, as provided by the applicable consumer rule. These Terms do not take away that right where the law forbids a waiver.

Nothing in this section limits non-waivable consumer rights in Latin America, the United States, or the European Union.

7. Accounts and security

You must provide accurate data and keep it up to date. The consumer app signs you in with a code sent to your email. That code is personal. You are responsible for your email and for sessions open on your devices.

You must not share the account, assign it, or use someone else’s account. We may suspend or close an account for breach, fraud, risk to other users, abusive use of the AI assistant, substantiated spam complaints, or a request from an authority.

The internal admin console is only for authorized Company personnel. Those accounts may use a password and are not available to the public.

8. Shop customers and messages sent in the shop’s name

This section is essential if you use the Pro plan.

The shop decides whom it records, what data it uploads, and whom it contacts. The Company provides the technical tool: it stores that data and sends email or push according to the shop’s settings and the product’s templates. Reminder and promotional messages are presented in the shop’s name.

When the shop uploads or contacts a customer, the shop represents and warrants that:

  • It has a lawful basis to process that data and to send that message under the law of the shop’s country and of the recipient’s country. Where required, that includes consent, a contract, or legitimate interest, and compliance with commercial-communications rules (including GDPR and ePrivacy in the EEA, CAN-SPAM in the United States, CASL in Canada, LGPD in Brazil, and local Latin American rules).
  • The data is accurate, relevant, and current. It will not upload children’s data, health data, government ID numbers, passwords, or card data unless a law requires it and we have accepted a documented instruction in writing. The product is not designed for that data.
  • It tells its customers, in plain language, that it uses AutoBlack to record the service and send notices.
  • It handles, within a reasonable time, requests for access, correction, objection, deletion, and communication opt-out that it receives, and it tells us if we must delete or block data in the tool.
  • It will not use the Service for spam, deception, impersonation, unlawful content, or false claims about vehicle safety or parts.

The shop will indemnify us against claims, fines, damages, and reasonable defense costs arising from its messages, from the lack of a lawful basis, or from customer data it uploaded. This duty survives the end of the plan.

We may refuse, delay, or stop a message, and we may suspend promotions or the whole plan, if we detect a legal, technical, or abuse risk. The promotion quota may change with notice in the app.

9. Linking a shop and a vehicle owner

If a shop records a service or a vehicle against an email address, and a person later creates or uses an AutoBlack account with that same email, the account may be linked to that shop’s customer record.

The shop may propose adding a vehicle or services to the owner’s app. The owner may accept or decline. If the owner accepts, that data is copied into the owner’s personal garage. If the owner declines, the record remains in the shop’s workspace.

The shop must not assume it can read the owner’s private garage beyond what the product expressly shows for that link. The owner must not assume that deleting the owner’s account deletes the copy the shop keeps as its own customer record. The shop controls that copy, with us as its technology processor, as described in the Privacy Policy.

10. AI diagnosis assistant

The free app includes a vehicle question assistant (“AI diagnosis” or FAQ). By using it, you agree that:

  • The text you write and, if you select a vehicle, its make, model, sub-model, year, and an extract of the service history stored in the app (type, date, mileage, part, and notes) are sent to our server and from there to the model provider, OpenAI, to generate a reply.
  • The country used as technical context may be a system configuration value, not necessarily your country of residence.
  • There is a daily limit of queries per account. When you reach it, the assistant does not reply until the next period.
  • The reply may be wrong, incomplete, outdated, or unfit for your vehicle. It is not a professional diagnosis. Do not use it as the sole basis to drive, repair brakes, or postpone an inspection.
  • The Company owns the American Black brand. The assistant may recommend American Black parts when the question is about brakes. That recommendation is commercial speech for our brand, not an independent opinion and not an obligation to buy. Other faults should not receive that recommendation.
  • Do not enter third-party data, health data, passwords, or information you do not want an AI provider to process.
  • We may change the model, the limit, the rules, or withdraw the assistant.

The Privacy Policy explains what is stored and what is not.

11. Reminders

Free-version reminders are generated by the platform from services you record. Pro-plan reminders follow the shop’s settings and may be sent in the shop’s name, by email, push, or both, with the lead time the shop selects from the product’s options.

A reminder does not guarantee that the vehicle needs that service on that date, that the shop has availability, or that a particular part is the right one. The recipient and the shop must check.

12. Where to buy, maps, and links

The purchase section shows countries, locations, and links published by us or by the points of sale. Those sites, maps, and stores are third parties or separate sales channels. We do not control their content, prices, stock, or policies. Use of Google Maps, on-device geocoding, and, if the app cannot resolve an address another way, a public address service, is described in the Privacy Policy.

13. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Use the Service unlawfully or to infringe the rights of others.
  • Upload personal data without a lawful basis, or use the Pro plan to send unsolicited communications.
  • Attempt to access someone else’s account, shop, or systems, or bypass query limits, quotas, or access controls.
  • Interfere with the Service, introduce malware, or place an abusive load on it.
  • Extract data in bulk or by automation without written permission.
  • Present AI-assistant output as an official diagnosis of the Company or of a shop.
  • Use the American Black or AutoBlack marks in a way that suggests a partnership, certification, or sponsorship that does not exist.

14. Intellectual property

The app, the sites, the design, interface text, notice templates, software, and the AutoBlack and American Black marks belong to the Company or its licensors. We grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service under these Terms. If you are a shop with an active plan, that license includes internal business use of the panel during the paid period.

Data and text that you or the shop enter remain yours. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host it, reproduce it, display it in the relevant account, send it in the notices you request, and transmit it to the AI provider only when you use the assistant, for as long as needed to operate the Service.

15. Privacy

Personal data is handled under the Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms.

16. Availability

The Service is provided on a commercially reasonable ongoing basis and may be interrupted for maintenance, failures, third parties (email, push, payments, app stores, the AI model), or causes beyond our control. We do not promise a specific uptime level unless we agree to it in writing.

17. Warranties

To the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, the Service is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that dates, assistant text, or notices will be accurate or fit for a particular vehicle.

We do not exclude warranties or rights that mandatory law does not allow us to exclude, in particular consumer rights.

18. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by applicable law:

  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost customers, loss of data caused by an event beyond our reasonable control, or the cost of mechanical work.
  • We are not liable for decisions to drive, repair, or not repair based on a reminder, a due-date calculation, or an AI-assistant reply.
  • We are not liable for the content, lawfulness, or sending of messages a shop directs to its customers, without prejudice to our duties as a processor.
  • We are not liable for third-party sites, app stores, PayPal, WooCommerce, OpenAI, maps, or the email service.
  • For a free-version user, our total liability for claims related to the Service in the prior twelve months is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100).
  • For a shop, our total liability for claims related to the Pro plan in the prior twelve months is limited to the amounts that shop paid us for the plan during those twelve months.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, including liability for fraud, gross negligence where it cannot be excluded, death or personal injury caused by our negligence where the law so requires, or non-waivable consumer rights.

Physical American Black parts, if purchased from the Company or a third party, are outside this cap and are governed by the warranty and terms of that sale.

19. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you will indemnify us against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable defense costs arising from your unlawful use of the Service, data you upload, messages you instruct us to send, or your breach of these Terms. If you are a consumer, this section applies only to the extent your law allows.

20. App stores

Apple and Google distribute the app and are responsible for their own stores. They are not parties to these Terms. The Pro plan is not purchased inside the app. If a store requires additional terms to download the app, those terms apply to the download.

21. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except for mandatory consumer-protection, privacy, or contract rules of the country where you live, which apply when they cannot be waived.

Unless such a mandatory rule allows you to sue in your local courts, disputes are submitted to the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Before filing suit, write to info@autoblack.app with a clear description of the dispute and give us 30 days to try to resolve it, unless the law forbids that step or the matter is urgent (for example, an injunction).

To the extent the law allows, claims are brought individually. If a class-action waiver is not valid for you, that waiver does not apply and the rest of this section remains in force.

Consumers in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom keep the right to go to the courts of their domicile and to the relevant consumer bodies. The European Commission publishes an online dispute-resolution platform; its use is voluntary.

22. General

If a clause is invalid, the rest remains in force and that clause will be modified as little as possible to make it valid. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign the contract without our consent; we may assign it to an affiliate or a successor of the business, with notice. There are no third-party beneficiaries unless the law creates them. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Pro order, are the entire agreement about the Service and replace version 1.0 from May 2026.
