Last updated: March 2026

1. Scope

These Terms of Use govern the use of the GeoHook App ("App") and its associated services, provided by creative-it Software Consulting e.U. ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms of Use.

2. Description of Services

2.1 Free Core Features

The App provides the following features at no cost:

• Geofencing — create location-based triggers
• Webhooks — send automated HTTP requests when entering or leaving geofences
• iCloud Sync — synchronize your data across your Apple devices
• AI Assistant — in-app help powered by AI

2.2 Premium Features (Subscription)

The Tesla vehicle integration is a paid premium feature, available via subscription. This includes the ability to control and monitor Tesla vehicles through geofence-triggered automations.

3. Subscriptions and Billing

• Subscriptions are processed exclusively through Apple’s App Store (In-App Purchase).
• Billing occurs monthly with automatic renewal.
• You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple App Store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Apple’s standard terms for subscriptions and In-App Purchases apply. For details, see Apple’s Terms and Conditions.

4. Usage Limits

To ensure fair usage and service quality, the following limits apply to Tesla API requests:

4.1 Standard Plan

The Standard subscription includes 200 API requests per month.

4.2 Pro Plan

The Pro subscription includes 600 API requests per month.

4.3 Unlimited Plan

4.4 Warnings and Hard Limit

When you approach your usage limit (80% of the limit), you will receive a warning notification. The service continues to operate normally. Once the limit is reached, the Tesla integration service will be paused until the next billing period. Core app features (geofencing, webhooks) remain unaffected.
