Last draft update: 2026-05-31
RoadVane helps riders coordinate, track rides, and notify others when a potential crash or SOS event is detected. It does not make riding safe by itself.
Read this disclaimer in full before using RoadVane. Misusing the Service can endanger your life and the lives of others.
Core Disclaimer
RoadVane is an assistance and coordination tool only. It is not emergency services, roadside assistance, law enforcement, medical care, route verification, motorcycle maintenance advice, or a substitute for safe riding.
Use the app only when it is safe and legal to do so. Do not interact with RoadVane while riding if doing so would distract you or violate local law.
Route And Map Disclaimer
Routes, road-following previews, geocoding results, map displays, traffic context, and navigation handoffs may be inaccurate, stale, incomplete, or unavailable. Riders are responsible for checking actual road, weather, vehicle, fuel, lighting, construction, and safety conditions.
Maintenance Disclaimer
Maintenance reminders are informational only. They do not inspect the motorcycle, guarantee mechanical safety, or replace the owner's manual, service schedule, mechanic inspection, recalls, or rider judgment.
Crash Assistance And SOS Disclaimer
Crash Assistance, the SOS feature, nearby crash alerts, and emergency-friend notifications (together, the "Beta Safety Features") are experimental, beta-quality software. They are not detection systems and they are not emergency services.
RoadVane makes no promise that any Beta Safety Feature will function correctly in any specific situation, will recognise any specific event, will deliver any specific notification, or will save any life.
What Crash Assistance Does
Crash Assistance monitors motion sensors, speed changes, ride context, location, and user action to estimate whether an impact may have occurred. If it estimates that a possible impact has occurred and the rider does not cancel the SOS countdown, the app may attempt to notify eligible emergency friends, joined ride participants, and nearby riders depending on settings and ride context. "Estimate" is not "detect". Crash Assistance is not a safety device.
What Crash Assistance Does Not Do
- It does not call emergency services, police, ambulance, fire, rescue, or roadside assistance. There is no automatic 122 / 123 / 180 / 999 / 911 dialing.
- It does not guarantee that any crash will be detected, recognised, or classified correctly.
- It does not guarantee that any notification will be delivered, received, or read.
- It does not guarantee that any recipient will respond, will be in a position to help, or will know what to do.
- It does not verify whether a crash actually occurred or whether the rider is injured.
- It does not verify that the rider is safe — only the rider can confirm safety by marking themselves OK.
- It does not replace rider safety equipment, helmet, protective gear, motorcycle inspection, or the rider's own judgement.
False Positives And Missed Events
Crash Assistance can trigger when there is no real crash (false positive) and can fail to trigger when there is a real crash (missed event). Reasons include but are not limited to: sensor placement and noise, accelerometer and gyroscope limits, device operating-system restrictions on background tasks, the app being closed or suspended by the OS, permissions being revoked or never granted, low battery or battery-saver mode, network coverage loss, push delivery limits at Apple / Google / Expo, backend outages, impact patterns outside current detection thresholds, and undiscovered software defects.
Beta Status
The Beta Safety Features remain in active development. Their behaviour can change without notice. They have not been tested across every motorcycle, every rider, every road condition, or every region. We may temporarily disable, change, or remove any Beta Safety Feature at any time for safety, technical, or legal reasons.
Assumption Of Risk
By enabling and using any Beta Safety Feature you acknowledge and agree that:
- The Beta Safety Features are experimental and may fail at any time, for any reason.
- You will not rely on Crash Assistance, SOS, or nearby crash alerts as a primary safety mechanism.
- You will continue to ride with a helmet, protective gear, and within your skill level regardless of whether a Beta Safety Feature is active.
- You and any emergency contact must independently call the local public emergency number for any actual emergency.
- You assume the risk of any failure of any Beta Safety Feature to detect an event, deliver a notification, or produce any specific outcome.
- You release RoadVane (the operator and any future RoadVane LLC) from any liability arising out of the failure, delay, false positive, missed event, or unavailability of any Beta Safety Feature, subject only to mandatory law that cannot be excluded.
Recipient Safety
If you receive a Crash Assistance or SOS alert about another rider, do not put yourself or others in danger to respond. If the alert appears to involve an actual emergency, call the local public emergency number first. Follow local law and your own judgement. RoadVane does not direct, coordinate, or supervise any rescue or assistance you provide.
Mandatory Law
Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by the operator's own negligence, gross negligence, or fraud. Where local law treats safety-critical software disclaimers more strictly than this Disclaimer allows, the local-law standard applies.
Do Not Operate While Riding
Looking at, typing into, or holding a phone while operating a motorcycle is illegal in most countries and dangerous everywhere. To use RoadVane safely:
- Mount the phone using a secure, vibration-dampened bike mount.
- Use a quality Bluetooth helmet headset for audio cues (voice channels, navigation prompts, SOS confirmations).
- Configure the ride and turn on group voice before riding begins.
- Stop in a safe place to interact with any on-screen controls.
- Never read messages, change waypoints, or respond to notifications mid-ride.
Emergency Numbers (verify locally)
The following are public emergency dispatch numbers for RoadVane's common markets. Riders should confirm the correct number for the specific location before relying on them and should save the local number to phone favourites before setting off.
- Egypt: Police 122, Ambulance 123, Tourist Police 126, Highway Police 128, Civil Defence (Fire) 180.
- United Arab Emirates: General emergency 999, Ambulance 998.
- Saudi Arabia: Police 999, Ambulance / Red Crescent 997, Civil Defence 998, Traffic 993.
- United States and Canada: 911.
(If RoadVane expands into EU / UK markets in the future, this list will be updated with 112 and 999/112 respectively, alongside the supplementary GDPR notice required for those markets.)
Rider Responsibilities
