Terms of Service

Last Updated: February 2026

1. Acceptance

By using TireorNOT, you agree to these Terms.

2. How It Works

TireorNOT is a client-side web application. You provide your own Groq API key. All processing happens between your browser and Groq's API. There is no TireOrNOT server.

3. NOT a Professional Inspection

TireorNOT is NOT a substitute for:

• A professional tire inspection by a qualified technician
• A tread depth measurement with a proper gauge
• An alignment and balance check
• A manufacturer's warranty assessment
• Common sense (if you see cracks, bulges, or exposed cords, replace the tire immediately)

TireOrNOT provides AI-based visual assessment and DOT code decoding. It cannot measure tread depth in 32nds, detect internal belt separation, or replace hands-on professional inspection.

4. No Guarantees

Results may be incomplete or inaccurate due to:

• Poor lighting or camera angle making DOT code unreadable
• Weathered or worn markings on older tires
• AI misreading characters on the sidewall
• Internal tire damage not visible from the outside
• Recall databases not being fully up to date
• Visual condition assessment limitations (cannot measure tread depth)

5. Your API Key

You are responsible for your own Groq API key and its usage.

6. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use TireorNOT for:

• Making safety-critical decisions without professional verification
• Certifying tire safety for commercial or regulatory purposes
• Automated bulk queries or API abuse
• Any purpose that violates applicable laws

7. Limitation of Liability

TireorNOT is provided "as is" without warranties. We are not liable for:

• Injuries, accidents, or damage resulting from tire failure
• Decisions made based on tool results
• Incomplete or inaccurate safety assessments
• Missed recalls or defects
