Terms of Service

Effective date: July 14, 2026 · Last updated: July 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the PlateQuest mobile application, operated by Nautilytics LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading or using PlateQuest, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

If you are between 13 and 18, a parent or guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf.

1. Who Can Use PlateQuest

PlateQuest is a general-audience service. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you represent that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. You agree not to share your account with others or create accounts on behalf of other people. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use PlateQuest only for its intended purpose — playing the license plate collecting game. You agree not to:

We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules.

4. Photo Submissions

When you submit a photo through PlateQuest, you grant Nautilytics LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license — including the right to use service providers acting on our behalf — to host, store, reproduce, and process that photo in order to review and verify the plate design, to train and improve our plate-recognition model, and, if a moderator features your approved capture as a plate design's image, to display that cropped plate image within the app's shared atlas.

Deleting your account ends this license and we delete your photos as described in our Privacy Policy; versions of our recognition model trained before deletion are not affected, and a capture featured in the shared atlas may be retained unless you ask us to remove it.

You represent that you own or have the right to submit any photo you take, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nautilytics LLC from claims arising out of photos you submit in violation of that representation.

See our Privacy Policy for full details on how submitted photos are handled, retained, and deleted.

5. Purchases and PlateQuest Pro

PlateQuest offers one optional in-app purchase: PlateQuest Pro, a one-time, non-consumable unlock — it is not a subscription and never renews. Pro unlocks additional features (such as collecting multiple plate designs per state, the specialty-plate catalog, design stats, and expanded avatar customization); the core 50-state game remains free.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account through the App Store and is subject to Apple's terms. We never receive or store your payment details. The price shown in the app at the time of purchase is the price you pay; prices may change for future purchases.

Pro is tied to the Apple Account that bought it and can be restored at no charge on any device signed into that account via Restore Purchases. Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us — request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If Apple refunds or revokes a purchase, the features it unlocked are disabled; your free collection and state progress are never taken away.

6. Intellectual Property

PlateQuest — including its code, original graphics, design system, and the selection and arrangement of its plate catalog — is owned by Nautilytics LLC and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the app on your own devices for personal, non-commercial purposes.

License plate designs shown in the app are issued by U.S. states, and the artwork, logos, and marks appearing on them belong to the issuing states and their respective owners. PlateQuest depicts them solely to identify real plate designs in a spotting game and does not claim ownership of, sponsorship by, or affiliation with any of those owners.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works based on any part of PlateQuest without our written permission.

IP complaints: if you believe any content in PlateQuest infringes your copyright, trademark, or other rights, email platequest@nautilytics.com with the subject "IP complaint", identifying the content and the right you hold. We review complaints promptly and remove or replace content where appropriate, and we terminate repeat infringers' accounts.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

PlateQuest is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of bugs. Plate identification is performed by AI and human review and may not always be accurate.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Nautilytics LLC and its owners, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — PlateQuest. Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed $100 USD.

9. Termination

We may suspend or permanently terminate your account if you violate these Terms, with or without notice. You may stop using the app and request account deletion at any time (see our Privacy Policy for deletion instructions). Sections 6, 7, 8, and 10 survive termination.

10. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of PlateQuest shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll post the revised Terms here and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
