Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 1, 2025

Welcome

Thank you for using Outpost. These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to your use of the Outpost iOS app ("App"). By using the App, you agree to these Terms, so please read them carefully. This App is independently developed and maintained by I. Gillespie and is not affiliated with Rivian Automotive, Inc.

1. Overview of the Service

Outpost offers trip, charge, and vehicle insight tools for Rivian owners. Features are powered by private Rivian APIs, which are unofficial and subject to change. The App is available exclusively on iOS and requires installation to function. An active Outpost+ subscription is required for the App to collect and analyze data from your Rivian vehicle.

2. Key Information

  • Outpost uses unofficial Rivian APIs — functionality may break without notice
  • Outpost+ is a subscription for premium features — cancel anytime via Apple ID
  • Outpost+ is required to collect data about your vehicle, if you let your subscription lapse, you can still view your historical data in the app
  • We store secure tokens, not your Rivian login — tokens expire periodically
  • Your data is yours — you can delete it any time, and we never share it
  • We make a good faith effort to keep our servers online, but downtime may occur and is not guaranteed to be avoided. Likewise, data collection depends on network connectivity and may be unavailable if your vehicle is in areas without adequate service.

3. Subscriptions

Outpost+ is a subscription managed by Apple through your iOS device.

  • Cancel anytime through your Apple ID settings
  • Any request for refunds or billing issues must be direct to Apple
  • Vehicle data collection is suspended immediately if your subscription ends

4. Account & Data Use

When you connect your Rivian account, we store secure tokens—not your password. These tokens expire and must be refreshed. We don’t sell or share your data, and you may delete your account data at any time through the app or by contacting support. See our Privacy Policy for more details.

5. Use Restrictions

By using Outpost, you agree not to:

  • Attempt to hack or disrupt the App or servers
  • Scrape, harvest, or extract data not meant for you
  • Use Outpost for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
  • Violate Rivian’s own terms of service

6. API Dependency Disclaimer

Because Outpost relies on unofficial Rivian APIs, we can’t guarantee uninterrupted access. If API access is revoked or restricted, the App may stop working. In such cases, subscription billing will stop, and we’ll make export options available if possible.

6a. Service Availability

We make a good faith effort to minimize server downtime, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Additionally, vehicle data collection depends on Rivian’s network and other connectivity factors. If your vehicle is in areas without adequate service, data may not be collected or may be delayed.

7. Disclaimers & Limitations

Outpost is provided “as is” and without warranties. We don’t guarantee accuracy or availability. You assume all risks by using the App. To the extent allowed by law, our total liability is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the last year.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless I. Gillespie against claims arising from your use of the App or your violation of these Terms.

9. Intellectual Property

All Outpost branding, interface design, and code are the property of I. Gillespie. Rivian® is a registered trademark of Rivian Automotive, Inc., and is referenced for compatibility purposes only. You retain rights to content you submit, but grant us permission to use it to operate the App.

10. Changes & Termination

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted in the app or on the website. Your continued use of the App means you accept the updated Terms. We may suspend accounts that violate these Terms at any time.

11. Legal & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Oregon, USA. Any disputes must be resolved in Oregon state or federal courts. You waive any right to class actions or jury trials involving Outpost.

12. No Personal Liability

No individual affiliated with Outpost, including I. Gillespie, shall be personally liable for any claims. All legal matters must be directed to the service entity itself.

13. Contact

If you have questions or need support, please use the contact option within the app or visit our website at outpostapp.site.
