5. Plans and pricing

5.1 Free plan

5.2 Pro plan

The Pro plan is charged at €1.5 per confirmed registration, deducted automatically via Stripe Connect at the time of the transaction. No subscription fees, no setup fees.

A "confirmed registration" is a registration where the driver has completed signup, signed the disclaimer, and successfully paid the entry fee.

5.3 Enterprise plan

Enterprise pricing is custom and agreed upon in a separate written contract.

5.4 Free trial

New Pro users receive a free trial period limited to either:

  • 3 full Pro events, or

  • 6 months from account creation

whichever occurs first.

5.5 Refunds

Platform fees are tied to confirmed registrations. If you refund a driver's registration through Stripe, the corresponding €1.5 platform fee is refunded back to you automatically.

5.6 Taxes

Prices are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes (VAT). Taxes will be added where required by law.

5.7 Price changes

We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice. Continued use after the price change takes effect constitutes acceptance.

8.4 Content removal

We may remove Content that violates these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others.

9. Data processing roles

When you use the Service as an organizer, you act as a data controller with respect to the personal data of the drivers and team members you register. Carbon Code acts as a data processor on your behalf.

A separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) governs this relationship. Enterprise customers receive a signed DPA. For Pro and Free users, our standard DPA terms apply automatically and are available on request at contact@lapzero.com.

You agree to:

  • Process personal data lawfully and inform data subjects (drivers) appropriately

  • Respond to data subject requests for data you control

  • Notify us of any breach affecting data you control

10. Service availability

We strive to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be unavailable due to:

  • Scheduled maintenance

  • Unscheduled outages or technical issues

  • Third-party service disruptions (hosting, Stripe, email providers)

  • Force majeure events

We are not liable for damages resulting from temporary unavailability.

Enterprise customers may have specific service level agreements (SLAs) in their contracts.

11. Intellectual property

The Service, including all software, designs, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks, is owned by Carbon Code or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.

You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

  • Merchantability

  • Fitness for a particular purpose

  • Non-infringement

  • Accuracy or completeness of data

  • Uninterrupted or error-free operation

We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements or that any defects will be corrected.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • Indirect damages. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities.

  • Cap on liability. Our total aggregate liability arising from or related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or €100, whichever is greater.

  • Force majeure. We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory of liability.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Carbon Code harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Service

  • Your violation of these Terms

  • Your violation of applicable laws

  • Your violation of third-party rights

  • Content you submit through the Service

15. Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Service. Either party may terminate this agreement:

  • By us, with or without cause, with reasonable notice

  • By either party immediately if the other party materially breaches these Terms

Upon termination:

  • Your access to the Service ends

  • Outstanding fees become due

  • Provisions that by their nature should survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification) remain in effect

You may export your data before termination. We may retain data as described in our Privacy Policy.

16. Changes to the Service

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes that affect paid features.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email or through the Service at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you may close your account before they take effect.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms will be resolved in the competent courts of Bucharest, Romania.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights as a consumer under EU law.

19. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any plan-specific agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and us.

  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

  • Notices. Notices to you may be sent via email to the address on your account. Notices to us should be sent to contact@lapzero.com.
