Terms of Service
Last Updated: 1 September 2026. By using Clutch, you agree to these terms. (Here’s some Beethoven while you read).
1. Description of Services
Welcome to Clutch. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Clutch mobile application (“App”), website, and related services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by Clutch Technologies Ltd (“Clutch”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
Clutch provides an AI-powered driving instruction platform designed to assist learner drivers and driving instructors. Our Services include driving session recording and analysis, AI-generated coaching feedback on driving behaviours, progress tracking and session history, instructor tools for student management, and personalised improvement recommendations.
By downloading, accessing, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
2. Eligibility and Account Registration
You must be at least 17 years of age (the minimum age to hold a provisional driving licence for a car in the UK) to use our Services, and we check your date of birth at registration to enforce this. If you are under 18, you represent that you have obtained parental or guardian consent to use the Services.
Account Creation
To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
3. Important Safety Disclaimers
Critical Safety Notice
Clutch is a supplementary educational tool and is NOT a replacement for professional driving instruction, qualified supervision, or official driver training programmes. The driver remains solely responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle at all times.
Clutch's AI feedback and analysis should never distract from safe driving practices. Learner drivers must always be accompanied by a qualified supervising driver as required by law. The App must be securely mounted before a session begins, positioned so that it does not obstruct your view of the road, and must not be handled while driving.
You are responsible for ensuring that any vehicle used with the Services is roadworthy, taxed, and insured for the driving being undertaken, including learner driver cover where applicable.
No Guarantee of Results
Clutch does not guarantee that use of the Services will result in passing your driving test or improve your driving abilities. Results vary based on individual circumstances, practice, and adherence to recommended techniques.
The accuracy of our AI analysis depends on various factors including device positioning, lighting conditions, environmental factors, and sensor calibration. Our Services may not detect all driving behaviours or hazards, and you should not rely solely on Clutch for safety-critical decisions.
Technical Limitations
Audio feedback should be set at an appropriate volume that does not impair your ability to hear traffic or emergency vehicles.
Recording Other People
Driving sessions are recorded on both cameras, and the driver-facing camera will capture anyone sitting in the front passenger seat, such as your supervising driver or instructor. If you turn on the optional audio recording, their voice may be recorded too. Before starting a recorded session, you are responsible for telling everyone in the vehicle that the session is recorded and, where audio is enabled, that sound is recorded. Do not enable audio recording if an occupant objects.
4. Data Collection and Privacy
To provide our Services, we collect camera, sensor, location, session, account, and device data, and, only if you enable it for a drive, microphone audio. Recorded session video is uploaded to our secure cloud storage and analysed on our servers by our machine learning systems and AI services to assess your driving and generate feedback. We may also use numeric driving signals derived from your sessions (never your face images, video, or audio) to improve our detection models; you can opt out at any time in the App (Settings, Privacy & Security) or by contacting privacy@learnwithclutch.com.
Full details of what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and how long we keep it are set out in our Privacy Policy, which is the authoritative description of our data practices and forms part of these Terms. You may delete individual driving sessions or your entire account directly in the App (Settings, Privacy & Security), or request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at privacy@learnwithclutch.com.
5. User Conduct
Prohibited Activities
You agree not to use the Services while driving without a qualified supervising driver (for learner drivers), interact with the App in any way that distracts from safe driving, or attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features.
Additional Restrictions
You agree not to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of traffic laws, share your account credentials with third parties, or upload false, misleading, or inappropriate content.
Exported Video Clips
The Services allow you to export video clips of your driving sessions. Exported footage may include other road users, pedestrians, and vehicle registration plates. You are responsible for sharing exported clips lawfully and responsibly, and you must not use them to harass, identify, or embarrass other people, or in any way that infringes their rights.
6. Instructor-Specific Terms
Professional Requirements
If you register as a driving instructor, you additionally agree to hold all required licences and certifications to provide driving instruction in your jurisdiction, maintain appropriate professional liability insurance, and handle student data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Data Protection
When you use the Services to manage students, you act as an independent data controller for the student data you process, as described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws, obtaining any necessary consents from your students, and using student data only for legitimate instructional purposes.
Access to a student's session video recordings requires the student's approval for each session, and a student may withdraw that approval at any time.
Compliance
Instructors must not misrepresent their qualifications or the capabilities of the Clutch platform and must comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing driving instruction.
Driving Schools and Organisations
If an organisation account (such as a driving school) is created for your business, the person accepting these Terms on the organisation’s behalf confirms they are authorised to do so. Organisation managers may see the progress and lesson data of learners on the organisation’s roster as described in our Privacy Policy, must use that data only to operate the school, and are responsible for the compliance of instructors working under the organisation. Payments taken through the platform are processed by Stripe under its own terms.
7. Subscription and Payment Terms
Subscription Plans
Clutch offers various subscription plans with different features and pricing. Details of current plans are available in the App and on our website. Prices are subject to change with reasonable notice.
Billing and Renewal
Subscriptions are purchased and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and automatically renew unless cancelled before the end of the current billing period. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your App Store or Play Store account settings.
Refunds
Refunds for purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store are handled by Apple or Google under their respective policies, and we will support you in making such a request where we can. Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection law, including your rights where the Services are faulty or not as described.
8. Intellectual Property and Your Content
All intellectual property rights in the Services, including but not limited to the App, AI models, algorithms, software, design, logos, and content, are owned by or licensed to Clutch.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.
Your Content
You own the recordings and other content created from your driving sessions. You grant Clutch a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, analyse, and display that content solely to operate and provide the Services to you and the people you have chosen to share with, and, in the form of derived numeric driving signals only (never your face images, video, or audio), to improve our detection models unless you have opted out as described in Section 4 and our Privacy Policy. This licence ends when the content is deleted from the Services, except for the limited retention described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
What We Do Not Exclude
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
Subject to the section above, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure, and we make no warranty regarding the accuracy or reliability of any AI-generated feedback or analysis.
Limitation of Liability
Subject to the “What We Do Not Exclude” section above, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, Clutch shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services, and our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
10. Indemnification
If you use the Services in breach of these Terms or unlawfully, you agree to compensate Clutch for losses, damages, and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) that we suffer as a direct result of that breach or unlawful use, except to the extent the loss was caused by us. This section does not apply to your use of the Services in accordance with these Terms.
11. Termination
You may terminate your account at any time in the App (Settings, Privacy & Security) or by contacting us at support@learnwithclutch.com. Upon termination, your data will be deleted in accordance with the retention periods set out in our Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you materially breach these Terms, use the Services unlawfully, or create risk or legal exposure for us, and we will give you notice where reasonably possible. We may also terminate these Terms for convenience on at least 30 days’ notice, in which case we will refund you, on a pro-rata basis, any subscription fees you have paid for the period after termination.
12. Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms. Material changes will be notified via email or in-App notification at least 30 days before taking effect. If you do not agree to a material change, you may cancel your subscription and stop using the Services before the change takes effect, and we will refund you, on a pro-rata basis, any subscription fees you have paid for the period after cancellation. Your continued use of the Services after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. App Store Terms
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Clutch only, not with Apple; that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App; that Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property claims; and that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. In the event the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
If you downloaded the App from Google Play, your use of the App is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.
14. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, without prejudice to your statutory consumer rights, including your right to bring proceedings in your local courts where consumer law allows.
