Turbocharger, cooling system or drivetrain damage.
-
Electronic system malfunction or software incompatibility.
-
Increased fuel consumption or changes in emissions.
-
Vehicle breakdown, loss of performance or unexpected behaviour.
-
Loss of manufacturer warranty or insurance coverage.
-
Personal injury, property damage or damage to third parties.
The customer voluntarily accepts the inherent risks associated with performance modifications and acknowledges that modifications may increase mechanical stress beyond the vehicle manufacturer's original specifications.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SpeedECU shall not be responsible for losses arising from these inherent risks where they are not caused by a breach of SpeedECU's legally enforceable obligations.
3. Vehicle Condition and Customer Responsibilities
All tuning files and modifications supplied by SpeedECU are intended for vehicles that are mechanically and electronically sound and maintained in accordance with applicable manufacturer requirements.
The customer is solely responsible for ensuring that:
-
The vehicle is in suitable mechanical condition before programming.
-
All relevant engine, transmission, cooling, fuel and electrical systems function correctly.
-
The vehicle uses suitable fuel and compatible components.
-
Any existing faults, previous modifications or tuning changes are disclosed.
-
The vehicle is properly maintained and inspected before and after tuning.
-
The vehicle is operated within safe mechanical and environmental limits.
-
The vehicle is not operated when warning lights, abnormal temperatures, unusual noises or other signs of malfunction indicate a potential safety risk.
SpeedECU is entitled to rely on information provided by the customer when determining the suitability of a tuning solution.
SpeedECU is not responsible for damage attributable to undisclosed faults, unsuitable vehicle conditions, incompatible modifications, incorrect fuel, inadequate maintenance or misuse.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, the provision of a tuning service does not constitute a comprehensive mechanical inspection or certification of the vehicle's condition.
4. Performance Disclaimer and No Guaranteed Results
SpeedECU provides performance-oriented software and vehicle programming solutions.
Actual results may vary depending on vehicle model, production year, engine condition, transmission condition, fuel quality, environmental conditions, existing modifications and individual vehicle characteristics.
SpeedECU does not guarantee specific increases in horsepower, torque, acceleration, fuel economy or other performance measurements unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.
Any performance figures, examples, demonstrations, videos or marketing materials are illustrative and do not constitute a guarantee that identical results will be achieved on every vehicle.
5. Service Availability and Vehicle Compatibility
Not all tuning functions, features or modifications are compatible with every vehicle, engine control unit, transmission control unit, software version or hardware configuration.
The customer acknowledges that the availability of services such as gear hold, speed limiter adjustments, engine speed limiter modifications, transmission modifications and other proprietary functions may differ between vehicles.
SpeedECU will provide the applicable service or functionality that is technically supported for the customer's specific vehicle and control unit.
The purchase of a service package does not guarantee that every advertised or available tuning feature can be applied to every vehicle.
Where a fixed-price package is purchased, the price covers the applicable supported functionality described for that package rather than an entitlement to all possible modifications.
Where a specifically purchased core feature cannot be supplied, the customer's applicable statutory and contractual remedies remain unaffected.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SpeedECU and its authorised tuners, employees, contractors, representatives and distributors shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising from the purchase, installation or use of its products and services.
Such losses may include loss of use, loss of income, business interruption, towing expenses, replacement transportation costs and other consequential financial losses.
SpeedECU shall not be liable for damage caused by improper installation, misuse, unauthorised software alterations, incompatible modifications or vehicle defects unrelated to a breach of its legal obligations.
Where legally permissible, SpeedECU's aggregate contractual liability relating to a particular product or service shall be limited to the amount paid by the customer for that product or service.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or restricts liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted including mandatory consumer rights or liability arising from conduct for which an exclusion is prohibited by law.
7. Engine, Transmission and Component Failure
The customer acknowledges that performance tuning may increase the operating demands placed on engines, transmissions, drivetrains and other vehicle components.
Even vehicles that appear mechanically sound may contain pre-existing wear, hidden defects or components that cannot withstand increased operating demands.
The customer accepts responsibility for the inherent mechanical risks of performance tuning.
SpeedECU shall not be responsible for component failure resulting from pre-existing defects, ordinary wear, inadequate maintenance, improper use, incompatible modifications or operation outside safe limits.
This provision does not exclude liability for defective services where applicable law requires SpeedECU to provide a remedy.
8. Manufacturer Warranty and Insurance
Vehicle modifications may affect or invalidate manufacturer warranties, extended warranties, service agreements or insurance coverage.
The customer is responsible for confirming the effect of any modification with the vehicle manufacturer, dealership, warranty provider and insurer before proceeding.
SpeedECU does not guarantee that a modified vehicle will retain its manufacturer warranty or insurance coverage.
SpeedECU shall not be responsible for warranty or insurance disputes arising from the customer's decision to modify the vehicle except where liability cannot legally be excluded.
9. Off-Road Use and Legal Compliance
Performance tuning and related modifications supplied by SpeedECU are intended for lawful use in appropriate off-road environments, private property, closed circuits or motorsport venues where such modifications are permitted.
The customer is responsible for ensuring that any vehicle modifications comply with all applicable local laws, roadworthiness requirements, emissions regulations, registration conditions and insurance obligations.
Certain modifications may not be legal for public-road use.
SpeedECU does not authorise the use of any product or service in violation of applicable laws.
The customer agrees not to use any modified vehicle unlawfully and accepts responsibility for the consequences of their own unlawful use.
10. Intellectual Property and Ownership
All tuning files, software modifications, calibration data, programming methods, proprietary functions, technical processes and related intellectual property supplied or developed by SpeedECU remain the exclusive property of SpeedECU or its respective rights holders.
Purchasing a tuning service grants the customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the supplied software or modification on the specifically authorised vehicle.
The customer does not acquire ownership of any intellectual property, software source code, calibration methodology or proprietary programming process.
All rights not expressly granted remain reserved.
11. Unique Identification and Anti-Replication Protection
SpeedECU may assign unique serial numbers, digital identifiers, software signatures, embedded markers or other identification mechanisms to tuning files and proprietary modifications.
These mechanisms may be used to identify authorised installations, detect unauthorised duplication and establish the origin of software modifications.
The customer acknowledges that such identifiers form part of SpeedECU's intellectual property protection measures.
Any attempt to remove, modify, bypass or interfere with these identifiers for the purpose of concealing unauthorised copying or distribution is prohibited.
SpeedECU reserves the right to investigate suspected infringements and pursue available legal remedies.
12. Prohibition on Copying, Reverse Engineering and Reselling
