Terms of use and disclaimer
These terms cover the Milealot website. In short: our calculators give estimates, not tax, financial, or legal advice; the IRS, your employer, and your owner’s manual come first; and you use the site at your own risk.
On this page (16 sections)
Agreement
These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and the developer of Milealot (“we,” “us”). They apply to the website at milealot.com and its content, including calculators, guides, and printable logs (together, the “site”). How we handle data is explained in the privacy policy. By using the site, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
Estimates, not advice
The calculators on this site estimate costs, mileage, reimbursements, and tire age from the numbers you enter and from published sources listed on our data sources page. Results are only as good as the inputs: odometer readings, fill-up amounts, and gas prices can be wrong or rounded. Check your inputs before you rely on a result.
Nothing on the site is tax, accounting, financial, legal, or mechanical advice, and it does not replace advice from a qualified professional who knows your situation.
Taxes and mileage rates
We show IRS and GSA mileage rates with their source and the date we checked them. Whether you can deduct or be paid for mileage, and how much, depends on IRS rules, your situation, and your employer’s policy. The IRS and your employer decide, not this site. Keep your own records and receipts, and ask a tax professional if you are not sure.
Vehicle safety and maintenance
Maintenance intervals and tire information on this site are general. Your owner’s manual and the carmaker’s maintenance schedule come first. A tire’s age or tread depth from a calculator or a guide does not replace an inspection by a qualified technician. To check a vehicle for open recalls, use NHTSA’s official recall lookup at nhtsa.gov. Do not rely on the site in an emergency: call 911.
Your responsibilities
- Use the site lawfully.
- Follow your owner’s manual, the law, and your employer’s policies.
- Do not copy, resell, scrape at scale, or disrupt the site, or use it to build a competing product.
Printable logs and our content
You may print our logs and fill them in for your own personal or business records. The text, calculators, design, and name of the site belong to us or our licensors, and we keep all rights not given to you in these terms. Data from U.S. government agencies is in the public domain, as explained on our data sources page. Car and product names belong to their owners. We use them only to identify vehicles and products; none of these companies sponsors or endorses Milealot.
Third-party data and links
Rates, fuel economy ratings, gas prices, and recall information come from government agencies and carmakers, with the date we read them. They change their data and pages without notice. If an official source says something different from our pages, follow the official source. The site links to other websites; their own terms apply to them, and we are not responsible for them.
The Milealot app
The Milealot app for iPhone is not released yet. When it is, it will come with its own terms of use, which we will publish on this site before release.
Changes to the site
We may update, change, or stop any part of the site at any time, including calculators, rates, and logs.
Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE SITE 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, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT CALCULATIONS, RATES, OR OTHER CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE OR YOUR TAXES, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. YOU USE THE SITE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW: (A) WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, TAX PENALTIES OR INTEREST, LOST DATA, OR DAMAGE TO VEHICLES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED US $50.
These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, which in some places includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. If the law where you live does not allow part of this section, the warranty section, or the indemnity section, that part does not apply to you.
Indemnity
To the extent the law allows, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims by third parties that arise from your misuse of the site, your breach of these terms, or your breach of any law.
Disputes and governing law
If you have a problem with the site, please email us first. Before either of us starts a formal claim, we both agree to try to resolve it informally for 60 days after one side sends the other a written description of the claim and the relief it wants. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. Wherever you live, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your home state or country.
