Terms of Service

These Terms are an agreement between the shop that creates a Garage OS account ("you", "your shop") and Con7o, the operator of Garage OS ("Garage OS", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using Garage OS at garageosapp.com you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you create the account for a business, you confirm you can bind that business.

1. The service

Garage OS is shop management software for auto repair shops: work orders, scheduling, customers, vehicles, inventory, invoices, technician tools, messaging, reporting, and the optional Marketing and Hiring tools. Each shop gets its own private workspace. We may improve, add, or retire features over time.

2. Accounts and verification

• You must provide a real work email, a verified mobile number, and a password. The mobile number is confirmed with a one-time text code and is then used for sign-in security codes. Keep your password private and tell us right away at info@con7o.com if you think an account was used without permission.
• You are responsible for everyone you add to your shop's workspace and for what they do in it. Only the shop owner can change billing.
• Garage OS is for businesses and for people 18 or older.

3. Free trial, plans and billing

• Free trial. An eligible new shop must complete Stripe checkout and save a payment method before accessing the workspace or its data. You pay $0 today. Your one-day free trial starts when checkout is completed and includes every feature. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, Stripe automatically charges the selected monthly price after one day and every month thereafter; no further approval is requested.
• Plans. Shop is $100 per month. Everything is $200 per month and adds Marketing, Hiring, and the Hiring AI tools. Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude any applicable tax. Unlimited users are included. A second location or custom work is arranged by contacting us.
• Payment. Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance through Stripe. By subscribing you authorize recurring charges to the card on file until you cancel. You can update your card, see invoices, or cancel in the billing portal from Settings.
• Cancellation. You can cancel at any time. Cancel in Settings through the Stripe billing portal before the trial ends to avoid the first monthly charge. After paid billing begins, cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for; we do not give refunds for partial months unless the law requires it.
• Failed payments. If a charge fails, the workspace stays open for a 14-day grace period while you fix the payment method. After that the workspace is locked until the open invoice is paid.
• Price changes. We will email the account owner at least 30 days before a price change takes effect.

4. Your data

• Your shop owns the data it enters or has moved into Garage OS: customers, vehicles, tickets, parts, invoices and files. We use it only to run the service for you, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not sell your customer list.
• Data migration is done by a Garage OS person at your request after the trial. We move what you ask us to move and nothing stays connected to your old system afterwards unless you choose a connector in Settings.
• You can ask for an export of your shop's data or for deletion of your account by emailing info@con7o.com from the owner's email. We delete or anonymize shop data within 30 days of a verified request, except what we must keep for billing, tax, or legal reasons.
• You are responsible for having the right to store and use the customer information you put into Garage OS, and for any texts or emails your shop sends to its customers through connected services.

5. Text messages

When you create an account you agree to receive verification and security text messages at the mobile number you give us. These are not marketing messages; frequency depends on how often you sign in. Message and data rates may apply. Marketing texts or emails are sent only if you opt in separately, and that opt-in is not required to use Garage OS. Reply STOP to a marketing text to stop receiving them, or HELP for help.

6. Acceptable use

Do not use Garage OS to break the law, to send spam or unlawful messages, to upload malicious code, to probe or overload our systems, to scrape other shops' data, or to resell the service. We may suspend an account that puts the service or other shops at risk, and we will tell you why when we can.

7. Third-party services

Garage OS runs on Cloudflare and bills through Stripe. Texting, email, and accounting features use accounts you connect (for example your own texting provider, Google or Microsoft mailbox, or QuickBooks Online). Those services have their own terms, and we are not responsible for them. Shop management systems you used before are not connected to Garage OS during the trial.

8. Availability and warranties

We work to keep Garage OS available and fast, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Garage OS is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. Reports, estimates and AI-generated suggestions in Garage OS are aids for your judgment, not accounting, legal, or professional advice.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Garage OS and Con7o are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to Garage OS is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Ending the agreement

You can close your account at any time. We can end or suspend the agreement if you break these Terms, if a subscription stays unpaid after the grace period, or if we stop offering the service, in which case we will give you reasonable notice and a way to export your data. Sections 4, 8, 9 and 11 survive termination.

11. General

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, and disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Minnesota. If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. We may update these Terms; we will post the new version here with a new effective date and email the account owner about material changes. Continuing to use Garage OS after a change means you accept it.
