Terms of Service
Last updated: May 18, 2026
- SafeRide IQ is a wellness tool, not a medical device or breathalyzer. Don't bet your life or anyone else's on it.
- You must be at least 18 years old (or 21 in jurisdictions where drinking is restricted to 21+) to use the app.
- If you have been drinking, do not drive. Period. SafeRide IQ saying "no impairment" is not permission to drive.
- We aren't responsible for what happens if you ignore the app, misuse it, or use it as a substitute for sober judgment.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using the SafeRide IQ mobile application ("the App," "the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App. These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and SafeRide IQ LLC ("SafeRide IQ," "we," "us," "our"), a limited liability company.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use SafeRide IQ. In jurisdictions where the legal drinking age is higher (such as 21 in the United States), you must be of that age to use any features of the App related to alcohol consumption tracking or impairment assessment. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements.
The App is not intended for use by anyone under the legal drinking age in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly permit minors to use the App.
3. Nature of the Service
3.1 SafeRide IQ is an advisory wellness tool
SafeRide IQ provides on-device behavioral self-assessments designed to help adults make informed decisions about whether they may be impaired and should not drive or perform other activities requiring full mental and physical capacity. The App estimates blood alcohol concentration (BAC) using:
- Self-reported drink information that you enter
- The Widmark pharmacokinetic formula adjusted for your reported body weight, sex, and other factors
- Behavioral test performance metrics from on-device assessments (eye tracking, balance, speech, and finger coordination)
3.2 SafeRide IQ is NOT a medical device
SafeRide IQ is not:
- A medical device, breathalyzer, or evidentiary blood-alcohol testing instrument
- A diagnostic tool for any medical, neurological, or psychological condition
- Approved, endorsed, or certified by any government agency, law enforcement organization, medical body, regulatory authority, or testing standards organization (including the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or any state Department of Motor Vehicles)
- A substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
- Approved for use in legal proceedings, employment screening, court-ordered testing, or any other official capacity
3.3 Accuracy limitations
BAC estimates produced by SafeRide IQ are statistical approximations, not measurements. Individual results may vary significantly based on:
- Accuracy and completeness of self-reported drink information
- Individual metabolism, genetics, body composition, and overall health
- Food consumption, hydration, sleep, and timing
- Medications, supplements, illness, or other substances
- Environmental factors during testing (lighting, surface stability, ambient noise)
- Device sensor quality, calibration, and operating conditions
- User effort, technique, and adherence to test instructions
A "Not Impaired" result from SafeRide IQ does not mean you are sober, below any legal BAC limit, or safe to drive. An "Impairment Indicated" result does not constitute medical or legal evidence of intoxication.
4. Your Responsibilities
4.1 Do not rely on the App to determine fitness to drive
You agree that you will not rely on SafeRide IQ as the sole or primary basis for any decision to:
- Operate a motor vehicle, boat, aircraft, or any other vehicle
- Operate heavy machinery, firearms, or any equipment requiring full mental and physical capacity
- Engage in activities where impairment could result in injury to yourself or others
- Provide testimony or evidence in any legal, administrative, or regulatory proceeding
The only safe choice after drinking is not to drive. If you have consumed any amount of alcohol and are uncertain whether you are safe to drive, do not drive. Use a ride-share service, call a sober friend, take public transportation, or stay where you are.
4.2 Honest and accurate self-reporting
You agree to provide honest, accurate, and complete information when entering data into the App, including drink counts, drink types, timing, and personal profile information. Inaccurate self-reporting will produce inaccurate estimates. The App cannot detect or compensate for false input.
4.3 Lawful use
You agree to use the App only in accordance with applicable laws. You will not use the App to:
- Encourage or facilitate driving under the influence of alcohol or any other substance
- Defeat, evade, or circumvent any law enforcement or regulatory measure
- Harass, deceive, or harm any other person
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the App
5. No Warranty
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR RELIABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE BAC ESTIMATES OR IMPAIRMENT INDICATORS PRODUCED BY THE APP ARE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE. ALL TEST RESULTS ARE ESTIMATES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS DETERMINATIVE OF ANY FACT, INCLUDING WHETHER YOU ARE LEGALLY OR MEDICALLY FIT TO DRIVE.
6. Limitation of Liability
