2. Educational Use & No Government Affiliation
Educational Purpose Only
The App is an independent educational tool designed solely for study and exam preparation. It is not a substitute for official training programs, certified driving schools, or any federally or state-mandated CDL training requirements.
We do not guarantee that use of the App will result in passing any official CDL exam. Exam content, formats, and passing requirements vary by state and are subject to change by government authorities without notice to us.

• The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
• Any other federal, state, or local government agency
Safety Disclaimer
Commercial motor vehicles can weigh up to 80,000 lbs and require significant professional training to operate safely. This App is a supplemental study tool only. Users are solely responsible for obtaining all required official training, meeting all federal and state licensing requirements, and operating commercial vehicles safely and lawfully. The Operator assumes no responsibility for any outcomes related to CDL exam results or real-world vehicle operation.

13 App Store & Google Play — Additional Terms
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (each an “App Provider”), you acknowledge and agree that:
These Terms are concluded between you and the Operator only, and not with the App Provider. The Operator, not the App Provider, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
The App Provider has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
The App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, the App Provider will not be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
You must comply with the App Provider’s applicable terms of agreement when using the App. The App Provider and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will:
