Terms of use
Updated 1 November 2026
Short and plain: you may use the app as intended, it is free, and you stay responsible for what you file with the tax office.
What this covers
These terms apply to the Rittenregistratie app for iPhone and Android, published by Socialista (Marvin Visser), IJmuiden, Chamber of Commerce number 61396478. By using the app you agree to them. Alongside these, Apple's terms for the App Store or Google's terms for Google Play apply, depending on where you downloaded the app.
What you may do with the app
You get the right to use the app on the devices tied to your Apple Account or Google Account, for your own use, business or private. You may not copy, resell, decompile or strip features out of the app to build them elsewhere.
Free, with ads
The app is free and stays that way: unlimited trips, every country, every report and every feature, without paying. There is one ad banner in the trip log. That banner is the only thing you can buy away.
Turning ads off
There are three ways: a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a single payment that lasts forever. All three do exactly the same thing, which is remove the ad. The price is shown in the app under "Turn ads off" before you buy.
On an iPhone, a subscription is charged to your Apple Account once you confirm the purchase, and then renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. The renewal is charged within 24 hours before the end of that period. You cancel and manage renewal in your Apple Account settings.
On Android, a subscription runs through your Google Account and Google Play. It renews automatically for the same period until you cancel; you can cancel up to the end of the current period, in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions.
We cannot stop a subscription for you; you do that with Apple or Google, not in the app. The one-time purchase does not renew and never costs anything again.
Your purchase belongs to your Apple Account or Google Account and can be restored on a new device with "Restore" in the app. Payments, refunds and restores run through Apple or Google; we cannot refund directly. For a refund, go to Apple or Google.
You stay responsible for your own filing
This is the part that matters. The app helps you measure and record, but the log you file stays yours. Check your trips before you use a report, especially the category, the addresses and the odometer readings.
GPS is not perfect. In a tunnel, a car park or with poor reception kilometres can go missing, and a trip that starts from motion misses the first stretch by definition. The app shows filled-in kilometres separately precisely so you can judge that. The tax explanations in the app and on this site are general information and not tax advice.
Availability
The app runs on your own device and does not need us to work. We do not promise new versions, that every feature stays, or that the app works on every future version of iOS or Android. Features that still need approval from Apple or Google, such as CarPlay or Android Auto, may be absent.
Liability
The app is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for damage arising from its use, including missed kilometres, a rejected deduction, an additional assessment or lost data. Whatever is written here, your statutory rights as a consumer remain.
Your own data
Your trips are on your device, and as long as the backup is on, also in your own iCloud or Google Account. We hold no copy, so we cannot restore them for you; you do that yourself, with the backup in the app. That backup runs through Apple or Google, and whether it succeeds also depends on them, for instance on the space left in your iCloud. A backup is not an archive: for your records, keep the reports you export. See the privacy policy for the rest.
Buying an iBeacon
In addition to these terms, the following applies when you buy an iBeacon through the app or the website. You buy from Socialista (Marvin Visser), Casembrootstraat 60RD, 1972 CC IJmuiden, the Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce 61396478.
Price and payment. The price is €25, including VAT and shipping. You pay through Stripe; the contract is formed once payment succeeds.
Delivery. We ship to the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland. Your iBeacon normally arrives within 7 to 14 days after shipping, and in any case within 30 days of your order. If it hasn't arrived after 14 days, report it in the app or by email.
Right of withdrawal. As a consumer you may withdraw from the purchase without giving a reason up to 14 days after receipt. Notify [email protected] within that period, for example: "I withdraw from the purchase of my iBeacon, ordered on [date], received on [date]", with your name and address. Then send it back to the address above within 14 days. Return costs are yours. We refund the full amount within 14 days, in the same way you paid. We may wait until we have it back or you have proof of shipping. If you used it more than necessary to inspect it, we may deduct the loss in value.
Warranty. You have your statutory rights if the iBeacon does not work properly. Report a defect to [email protected]. The battery is a consumable: how long it lasts depends on the settings and temperature.
Changes and governing law
We may change these terms; the newest version is always here, with the date on top. Dutch law applies. Disputes go to the competent court in Amsterdam, unless the law points to a different court.
