Terms of Use
Last updated 27 July 2026 · Effective 27 July 2026
The agreement between you and TeslaWatch. Please read the safety and liability sections — they matter more than most.
This is the Terms of Use (EULA) Apple requires to be linked from any app offering an auto-renewing subscription — in the app, on the purchase screen, and in the App Store listing.
1. What TeslaWatch is
TeslaWatch is an independent application that lets you view and control your Tesla vehicle from an Apple Watch and iPhone. It works through Tesla's official Fleet API using access you grant.
It is not made, endorsed, sponsored or supported by Tesla, Inc. See Legal.
2. Eligibility and your account
You must be the age of majority where you live, and you must own or be an authorised driver of every vehicle you connect. You are responsible for keeping your Tesla account and your devices secure, and for anything done by anyone you allow to use them. Connecting a vehicle you are not authorised to control is a breach of these terms and may be unlawful.
3. Safety — read this
- Do not use TeslaWatch while driving.
- Some commands physically move parts of the vehicle — doors, windows, boots. Confirm nobody is in the way before sending one.
- Never rely on TeslaWatch for anything safety-critical. It depends on Tesla's systems, Bluetooth, cellular networks and the internet, any of which can fail or be unavailable without warning.
- Never leave a person or animal in a vehicle relying on remote climate control. A command may not arrive, may not execute, and the app cannot verify cabin conditions.
- Remote start, valet mode and speed limit mode change how the vehicle can be driven. Use them deliberately.
You remain solely responsible for the safe and lawful operation of your vehicle at all times.
4. Subscription terms
TeslaWatch offers a free tier and an optional paid Pro subscription.
- Title, duration and price are shown in the app before purchase and again at confirmation, in your local currency.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- Manage or cancel at any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- Prices may change. We will give notice in the app before a change affects you, and a price increase never takes effect without the notice Apple requires.
Refunds
All purchases are processed by Apple, and refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We have no ability to issue, approve or deny a refund. Statutory rights — including EU/UK withdrawal rights — are unaffected.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to: access a vehicle you are not authorised to use; attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer or circumvent the service or its security; resell or sublicense access; use the app to break any law; or use it in a way that risks anyone's safety.
6. Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use TeslaWatch on Apple devices you own or control, per the App Store Terms of Service. We retain all rights not expressly granted. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of it.
7. Third-party services
TeslaWatch depends on Tesla's Fleet API and Apple's services. They are outside our control and may change, degrade, restrict access or cease. We are not responsible for their availability, accuracy or acts, and changes there may require us to change or remove features.
8. Availability and changes
We may modify, suspend or discontinue features. Where a change materially reduces functionality you have paid for, we will give reasonable notice in the app, and you may cancel through Apple.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TeslaWatch is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that data shown is accurate or current, or that a command will reach or be executed by your vehicle.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or damage to property or vehicles, arising from or relating to TeslaWatch — whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, and even if advised of the possibility.
Our total aggregate liability for all claims is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$50.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and you may have rights that these terms cannot affect.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the app, or your operation of a vehicle.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Texas have jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence and benefit from any mandatory consumer-protection rules there.
Before filing anything, please email support@teslawatch.app — almost everything is resolvable that way.
13. Apple-specific terms
Required by the App Store, and stated plainly:
- This agreement is between you and TeslaWatch only, not with Apple.
- Apple has no obligation to provide support for TeslaWatch.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory non-compliance, or consumer protection claims.
- Apple is not responsible for investigating or resolving third-party intellectual property claims relating to the app.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
- You confirm you are not in a country subject to a US embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and are not on any US restricted-party list.
14. Termination
You may stop at any time by deleting your account in the app and removing it from your devices. We may suspend or terminate access if these terms are breached in a way that risks safety or the service. Sections 9 through 12 survive termination.
15. General
If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign these terms; we may assign them in a merger or sale of assets. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us.
16. Changes to these terms
If these terms change materially, the app will say so before the change takes effect, and the date at the top will change. Continued use afterwards constitutes acceptance.
