WRENCHPIT

Terms of Service

Last updated: May 3, 2026.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Aeroswipe LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("Aeroswipe," "we," "us," "our"), the operator of the Wrenchpit service at wrenchpit.com (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms — this document is the operative agreement, drafted by the operator.

Please read these Terms carefully. They include a mandatory binding arbitration clause and class-action waiver in Section 13, a broad limitation of liability in Section 8, and an indemnification obligation in Section 9.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By creating an account, posting a guide or comment, voting, subscribing to Pro, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy and Safety Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

The Service is intended for users 18 or older. If you are at least 13 but under 18, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that your use does not violate any law applicable to you.

The Service is operated from the United States and is primarily intended for U.S.-based users. We make no representation that it is appropriate or available in other locations.

3. Your account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for the security of your credentials, and for all activity under your account. You agree to:

  • provide a valid email and a username that is not deceptive or impersonates another person;
  • maintain a single account — one human, one account;
  • not share or transfer your account; and
  • notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe are duplicate, automated, fraudulent, or in violation of these Terms.

4. Your content — license to Aeroswipe LLC

You retain ownership of the guides, comments, votes, photos, videos, and other material you submit to the Service ("User Content").

By submitting User Content, you grant Aeroswipe LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to host, display, distribute, modify (for formatting), and otherwise use the content in connection with the Service and Aeroswipe's promotion of it. This includes hosting, storing, reproducing, publicly performing, creating derivative works of, and translating the User Content for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting the Service. This license survives termination of your account so that contributions other users have come to rely on remain available.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to grant the license above and that your User Content does not infringe or violate any third party's rights, including copyright, trademark, right of publicity, privacy, or any other intellectual-property or contractual right.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Aeroswipe LLC and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any third-party claim arising out of or related to your User Content, including claims of copyright or trademark infringement, defamation, invasion of privacy, or violation of publicity rights.

5. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to post, upload, or otherwise use the Service to:

  • infringe any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other proprietary right (do not paste manufacturer service-manual text or copyrighted images);
  • plagiarize — claim another person's guide, photos, or writing as your own;
  • describe a procedure designed to damage a vehicle, defeat an emissions or safety system in violation of law, or hurt a person;
  • harass, threaten, defame, dox, or otherwise abuse another person;
  • post spam, off-topic promotion, or affiliate-link stuffing;
  • post content that is illegal in the United States or in your jurisdiction;
  • probe, scan, or test the security or integrity of the Service, or attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, or access controls;
  • scrape, crawl, or otherwise harvest content from the Service at scale, except via a published API under its terms;
  • distribute malware, exploits, or links intended to compromise readers; or
  • impersonate another person, business, or our staff.

We may remove, edit, or restrict access to any User Content for any reason or no reason, including content that is technically permitted above but inconsistent with the spirit of the Service. We are not obligated to pre-screen User Content but we may.

6. DMCA / copyright complaints

Aeroswipe LLC respects intellectual property rights and responds to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

Designated agent. Send DMCA notices to our designated agent at support@wrenchpit.com (TODO: confirm whether Sav wants a separate DMCA-specific address; register a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office before any meaningful scale).

A valid notice must include:

  1. a physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or their authorized agent;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
  3. identification of the material on the Service claimed to be infringing, with enough detail (e.g., the guide URL) for us to locate it;
  4. your contact information (address, phone, email);
  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and
  6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the rights holder.

Counter-notice. If your content is removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter- notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).

Repeat-infringer policy. We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, accounts that are determined to be repeat infringers.

7. DIY / safety disclaimer (please actually read this)

Wrenchpit publishes user-submitted guides about working on motor vehicles. Guides are submitted by users and are not professionally vetted. Contributors are not necessarily certified mechanics. The guides are provided for informational and educational purposes only and are not professional repair advice.

Wrenchpit is not a substitute for a licensed mechanic, the manufacturer's service manual, or a professional inspection. Aeroswipe LLC makes no warranty about the accuracy, completeness, or safety of any guide, and does not verify, endorse, or independently test the procedures described. Following any guide is at your sole risk.

You acknowledge that automotive repair carries inherent risks of property damage, personal injury, and death, and you assume all such risk. Some systems — including but not limited to brakes, airbags and other supplemental restraint systems, fuel systems, cooling systems under pressure, suspension components under load, and the high-voltage systems of hybrid and electric vehicles — are particularly dangerous and may require professional service or specialized equipment. If you are not confident in your ability to perform a procedure safely, consult a licensed professional mechanic.

See our full Safety Disclaimer for more.

8. Disclaimer of warranties; limitation of liability

The Service, including all User Content, is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without any warranty of any kind, express or implied. Aeroswipe LLC disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Aeroswipe LLC, its members, officers, directors, employees, contractors, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, personal injury, or property damage — arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms, regardless of the theory of liability and even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Aeroswipe LLC's total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the limitations above may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Aeroswipe LLC and its members, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or any third party's rights.

10. Pro subscription

Wrenchpit offers an optional paid subscription ("Pro") with the features described on the Upgrade page. The following terms apply to Pro:

  • Billing. Pro is billed monthly (or annually if you choose the annual plan) in advance through Stripe. By subscribing you authorize recurring charges to Aeroswipe LLC (via Stripe) until you cancel.
  • Cancellation. You may cancel at any time from your account or through Stripe's customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep Pro access until then.
  • Refunds. Refunds, including pro-rated refunds for partial billing periods, are issued at Aeroswipe's discretion. We do not, as a matter of policy, refund partial months or partial years.
  • Price changes. We may change Pro pricing on at least 30 days' notice. Price changes take effect at your next renewal.
  • Comped Pro. Active contributors may receive Pro at no charge under the rules described on the Upgrade page. Comped Pro is a privilege we may revoke or modify at any time and confers no refund rights.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account through your account settings or by contacting support.

Aeroswipe LLC may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason — including violation of these Terms, suspected fraud, or risk to other users or to the Service itself.

Sections 4 (license), 7 (safety disclaimer), 8 (warranties and limitation of liability), 9 (indemnification), 12 (governing law), 13 (arbitration), and any other provision that by its nature should survive, will survive termination.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 13, any non-arbitrable Dispute will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

13. Mandatory binding arbitration; class-action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

You and Aeroswipe LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that you may bring qualifying claims in small-claims court.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, conducted in English, and seated in a reasonably convenient location or by video conference. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action and jury-trial waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. You and Aeroswipe LLC each waive any right to a jury trial and waive any right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, representative, or consolidated proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding.

30-day right to opt out. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement and the class-action waiver by emailing support@wrenchpit.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (or of any future amendment to this Section 13) with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and stating your name, the email associated with your account, and your intent to opt out. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

If a court determines any portion of this Section 13 is unenforceable, the unenforceable portion will be severed and the remainder enforced.

14. Changes to these Terms

Aeroswipe LLC may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable advance notice — for example, by email to the address on your account or by a posted notice on the Service — before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

15. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Safety Disclaimer, are the entire agreement between you and Aeroswipe LLC regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement on that subject.
  • Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; Aeroswipe LLC may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
