Terms of Use
Terms of Use
Last updated 22 September 2026.
These terms govern your use of the CarTV Cast iPhone app and this website. By installing or using the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.
1. Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use CarTV Cast on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. You may not copy, sell, rent, sub-licence, decompile or reverse-engineer the app except where that restriction is void under the law that applies to you.
2. CarTV Cast is a player only
CarTV Cast is a player only. It does not provide, host, bundle, or recommend any content. You supply your own playlists and servers and are responsible for having the right to use them.
The app ships empty. It contains no channels, films, playlists, catalogue, search index or directory, and it will not help you find any. We do not operate, sponsor, endorse, verify or have any relationship with the providers whose playlists or servers you choose to use.
You alone are responsible for the sources you add and for having the legal right to access and play what they deliver, in the country you are in. If a source infringes someone’s rights, that is between you and the rights holder; we have no ability to see, block or remove it, because it never passes through us.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to use CarTV Cast to:
- access, copy or redistribute content you do not have the right to use;
- break the law of the country you are in, or the terms of a service you connect to;
- circumvent technical protection measures or access controls;
- interfere with, overload or attack a network or server, including through the channel health checker;
- present the app to others as a source of content, or as a service that supplies content.
4. Safety: passengers only
For passenger use only. Never watch while driving.
CarTV Cast puts video on a car display. Video is a distraction. You must not watch, operate or interact with the app while you are driving, and you must not enable video on a car display in any way that breaks the road traffic law where you are. Many jurisdictions prohibit moving images visible to the driver entirely.
You are responsible for using the app lawfully and safely, and for the consequences if you do not. We accept no liability for any accident, injury, damage, fine or penalty arising from use of the app in a moving vehicle or in breach of local law.
5. CarTV Cast Pro, subscriptions and renewal
The app is free to download and includes one source and a limited amount of casting time per session. CarTV Cast Pro unlocks unlimited sources, Car Mode, real-time subtitle sync and unlimited casting. It is offered as a monthly subscription, currently $5.99 per month with a 3-day free trial, and as a lifetime one-time purchase, currently $14.99. Prices are shown in US dollars; your local price is shown by the App Store before you confirm and may differ.
Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account and renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Manage or cancel a subscription in the App Store, under your Apple Account settings; it cannot be cancelled from inside the app.
The lifetime purchase is a one-time payment that does not renew. “Lifetime” means for as long as the app is offered and functions on your device; it is not a promise that the app will be published, updated or compatible forever.
Pro is verified on your device against Apple’s signature. Use Restore Purchases in Settings on a new device, signed in with the same Apple Account.
6. Refunds
All purchases are made through the App Store, so all refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policy. We cannot issue, approve or refuse a refund. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Write to us anyway if something is wrong — we would rather fix it.
7. Third-party servers and services
When you add a source, the app talks to a server you chose, under that operator’s terms and privacy practice, not ours. Their availability, quality, legality and conduct are outside our control. Apple handles purchases, and RevenueCat processes the App Store receipt on our behalf, as described in the privacy policy.
8. Open-source components
CarTV Cast includes VLCKit, which is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1, and other open-source components. Their licences and notices are listed in the app under Settings → Open-source licenses, and nothing in these terms limits any right those licences give you.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, that any particular stream, format, server or car will work, or that CarPlay behaviour will be identical across vehicles. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost profits or loss of use, arising out of your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for CarTV Cast in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
11. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it, which removes everything it stored on your device. We may end this licence if you breach these terms. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription; cancel that in the App Store.
12. Changes
We may update these terms as the app changes. The date at the top will change with them, and anything material will be noted in the App Store release notes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the new terms.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights you have where you live, which these terms do not reduce.
14. Apple
Apple is not a party to these terms and has no obligation to provide support for the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. Any claim that the app fails to conform to a warranty may be directed to Apple for a refund of the purchase price; beyond that, Apple has no warranty obligation.
