Terms of Service

Last updated: May 18, 2026

These Terms of Service govern the contractual relationship between Dmytro Bezrukov, Tachora — sole proprietorship, Neue Grabenstraße 24, 32657 Lemgo, Germany ("Tachora", "we") and the users of our services. The legally binding version of these Terms is the German one; this English version is provided for convenience.

§ 1 Scope

These Terms apply to the following offerings (collectively the "Services"):

  • TachoPlus — free driver app (Android / iOS).
  • Tachora Hub and TachoFleet — paid B2B platforms for dispatch and fleet management.
  • Tachora Jobs — job board, free CV builder, paid job-listing highlights and optional recruitment intermediation.
  • Advertising — paid ad placements in the TachoPlus app and on the website; governed by the separate Advertising Terms.

§ 2 Contracting parties — consumer vs. business

Counterparties may be consumers (§ 13 BGB) such as individual drivers, or businesses (§ 14 BGB) such as carriers, fleet operators and recruiters. Where a feature is business-only (e.g. Tachora Hub, TachoFleet, recruitment intermediation, ad placement), this is indicated at the point of sale.

§ 3 TachoPlus — free driver app

  • The driver app is permanently free of charge.
  • Trip records are stored locally on the device. Connection to a fleet is optional and requires the driver's explicit consent via QR code.
  • TachoPlus is a tool that helps drivers and companies monitor driving, break and rest times under EU Regulations 561/2006 and 165/2014. It does not constitute legal advice and does not guarantee full regulatory compliance — see § 9.

§ 4 Tachora Hub and TachoFleet — paid B2B platforms

  • Subscription starts upon registration and confirmation of the selected plan on the pricing page.
  • Billing is handled monthly or annually via Stripe Payments Europe Ltd.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically for the chosen billing period unless cancelled before the end of the term. Cancellation is possible at any time in the customer account.
  • Refunds for already-billed partial periods are not granted, save where required by mandatory law (see Right of Withdrawal).
  • B2B data processing: where the customer processes its drivers' personal data through Tachora Hub / TachoFleet, the parties enter into a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR. A template is available on request.

§ 5 Tachora Jobs and CV builder

  • CV creation and applying to jobs is permanently free of charge for drivers.
  • Publication in the public catalogue and forwarding of CV data to employers for the purpose of recruitment occurs only after the driver's explicit consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time by emailing support@tachora.app.
  • Employers may post free job ads. Paid highlights (e.g. Featured, VIP) are bookable as add-ons at the prices shown on the pricing page.
  • Employers are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness and legality of their job postings. Tachora may remove postings that appear unlawful, misleading, discriminatory or abusive, without prior notice.
  • The employment contract is concluded exclusively between the driver and the employer. Tachora does not become a party to the employment relationship and does not act as employer, staffing agency or temporary-work agency (no Arbeitnehmerüberlassung under the German AÜG).
  • Verification of employment-relevant documents (driving licence category CE, Code 95, driver card, ADR certificate, work permit, residence title, etc.) is the sole responsibility of the employer.
  • Tachora does not warrant that any placement will materialise, that a driver will accept an offer, or that an accepted position will continue for any particular duration.

§ 6 Recruitment intermediation

Where Tachora acts as a recruitment intermediary, the separate Recruitment Terms apply additionally. In case of conflict between these Terms and an individual written agreement between Tachora and an employer, the individual agreement prevails.

§ 7 Advertising

Paid advertising in the TachoPlus app and on the website is provided under the Advertising Terms, which form part of every advertising order.

§ 8 Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Services to falsify, manipulate or circumvent driving- time, rest-time or tachograph records;
  • scrape or overload our infrastructure;
  • reverse-engineer or decompile the Services beyond what is permitted by mandatory law;
  • share your account credentials with third parties;
  • use the Services in a way that violates applicable law or third-party rights.

§ 9 Compliance disclaimer — no legal advice

TachoPlus and the related calculators are support tools that help users monitor driving and rest times under EU Regulations 561/2006, 165/2014 and EC 1072/2009. They do not constitute legal advice, do not replace the user's own obligation to comply with the applicable rules, and do not guarantee complete regulatory compliance.

§ 10 Data protection

The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms by reference.

§ 11 Intellectual property

All content, designs, trademarks and software components of the Services belong to Tachora or its respective licensors. Any reproduction, modification or redistribution beyond the statutory limits requires Tachora's prior written consent.

§ 12 Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. Scheduled maintenance and updates will, where possible, be announced in advance. Brief interruptions do not give rise to refunds or damages.

§ 13 Liability

Tachora is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, or caused by intent or gross negligence. For ordinary negligence, Tachora is liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties) and only up to the typical, foreseeable contractual damage. Any further liability — in particular for loss of profit, regulatory fines or consequential damage — is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

§ 14 Term and termination

Unless otherwise agreed, the subscription runs for an indefinite period and can be terminated at the end of any billing period. The right to extraordinary termination for cause remains unaffected.

§ 15 Changes to the Terms

We may amend these Terms with future effect. Existing customers will be notified by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. If the customer does not object within that period and continues to use the Services, the amended version is deemed accepted.

§ 16 Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For contracts with consumers, mandatory consumer-protection rules of the consumer's country of residence remain unaffected. For contracts with businesses, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the seat of Tachora in Lemgo.

§ 17 Severability

Should any provision of these Terms be invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
