Canonical route: /legal/subscriptions
These Subscription and Refund Terms govern paid Mechanic Subscriptions and related paid features. They supplement the Terms of Service and the Mechanic Agreement. Capitalized terms have the meanings given in the Terms of Service.
1. Plans and Prices
- Plan B: $69.99 per month.
- Plan C: $129.99 per month.
Both plans renew automatically each month until cancelled. There is no free subscription plan and no free trial. During the initial Tucson launch, the verification fee is $0.
The features included with each plan are displayed at checkout and in your Mechanic account. Features are controlled through Carifu’s administrative settings and may change. Plan B Mechanics may purchase paid promotional placement, and Plan C includes standard promotional opportunities, subject to the Platform Rules.
2. Affirmative Consent Before Charging
Before your first charge, you must affirmatively agree to these Subscription and Refund Terms and authorize the recurring charge for your selected plan. The checkout will identify the selected plan, the exact monthly price, the monthly billing frequency, the automatic renewal, and the cancellation method before you accept.
3. Billing and Automatic Renewal
Subscription fees are billed in advance each month. Unless you cancel, your Subscription automatically renews at the end of each monthly period, and Carifu, through its payment processor, will charge your payment method the then-current fee for the next month. You authorize these recurring monthly charges until you cancel.
4. Cancellation
You may cancel at any time by emailing support@carifu.com. After Carifu receives your request, Carifu will send an acknowledgment. Your cancellation request is effective based on the date and time Carifu receives your email, and a timely request prevents the next renewal. Carifu will send a confirmation when your cancellation is complete. If a renewal is charged after a timely cancellation request, you may request a correction or refund by emailing support@carifu.com. Your paid access continues through the end of the current paid monthly period, unless your account is suspended or terminated for a policy violation.
5. Refunds
Monthly Subscription fees are charged in advance. Fees already paid are generally non-refundable, and partial subscription months are not prorated, except:
- where a refund is required by applicable law;
- for duplicate or erroneous charges; or
- where Carifu grants a discretionary refund.
Cancellation prevents future renewals but does not normally create a refund for the current paid month. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable refund or cancellation right you have under applicable law. To request a refund, email support@carifu.com.
6. Price and Feature Changes
Carifu may change plan prices and features. We will provide at least 30 days’ advance notice before a price change applies to a renewal. The new price applies to the next renewal after the notice period. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the change takes effect.
7. Failed Payments
If a charge fails, Carifu may retry the charge, suspend paid features, and, after notice, terminate the Subscription. You remain responsible for amounts due.
8. Taxes
Subscription fees do not include applicable taxes. Carifu uses Stripe, its payment processor, to calculate and collect applicable taxes on Carifu’s Subscription charges at checkout. Carifu remains responsible for filing and remitting taxes legally imposed on Carifu. Mechanics are responsible for taxes arising from their own businesses and Automotive Services, excluding taxes imposed on Carifu’s net income and other taxes for which Carifu is legally responsible.
9. Profile Boosts, Banner Advertising, Promotions, and Add-Ons
9.1 Availability and eligibility
Carifu may offer Profile Boosts, Banner Advertisements, sponsored placement, and other Advertising Services to eligible Mechanics in an Active Market. Availability, eligibility, inventory, placement, and plan entitlements may vary by market, plan, device, page, service category, and time. Plan B Mechanics may purchase paid promotional placement where offered. Plan C may include standard promotional opportunities as displayed in the Mechanic account or at checkout. Carifu may change, limit, pause, or discontinue an Advertising Service, subject to any completed purchase and applicable law.
9.2 Order disclosures and authorization
Before charging for an Advertising Service, Carifu will display the material purchase terms then available, which may include the price, taxes, campaign or boost duration, intended placement or placement category, start and end dates, geographic or service-category scope, creative requirements, cancellation terms, and whether the charge is one-time or recurring. Carifu will not impose a recurring advertising charge unless the Mechanic separately and affirmatively authorizes it. The Mechanic authorizes the charge by affirmatively accepting the displayed order terms.
9.3 Sponsored labeling and ranking
A Profile Boost will be labeled “Featured Mechanic.” Carifu uses “Featured Mechanic” only for a Profile Boost, and the Platform will explain that it means paid or plan-included profile placement. A Banner Advertisement will be labeled “Ad.” Other paid placement will use a clear label such as “Sponsored” or “Promoted,” as appropriate. Labels must distinguish paid placement from organic search or recommendations. Payment may affect visibility or placement only within the disclosed promotional area or logic. A Profile Boost does not change a Mechanic’s underlying rating, review score, verification status, or eligibility, and it does not constitute an endorsement by Carifu.
9.4 Advertising content and responsibility
The Mechanic is responsible for all advertising text, images, offers, prices, claims, links, and other materials it submits or approves. Advertising must be truthful, accurate, substantiated where required, current, lawful, and consistent with the Mechanic’s profile, licenses, services, availability, and actual offer. Advertising may not be deceptive, discriminatory, unsafe, infringing, obscene, or misleading; make unsupported superiority, savings, warranty, certification, licensing, safety, or performance claims; imitate an organic result or Carifu notice; misuse reviews or the Verified designation; or direct Users to unlawful or fraudulent activity. The Mechanic must possess all rights and permissions needed for submitted advertising materials.
9.5 Review, rejection, suspension, and removal
Carifu may review, reject, require changes to, suspend, or remove advertising that violates these Terms, the Platform Rules, applicable law, technical specifications, or Carifu’s reasonable brand-safety and marketplace standards. Carifu’s review does not transfer responsibility for the advertisement or its claims from the Mechanic to Carifu.
9.6 Delivery, measurement, and no guarantee
Unless an order expressly promises a specific quantity, Advertising Services are provided on an availability basis. Placement, position, timing, rotation, impressions, clicks, reach, and reported performance may vary because of inventory, Customer activity, device, location, search criteria, technical conditions, and other factors. Metrics may be estimates and may be adjusted for invalid activity or technical errors. Carifu does not guarantee a particular ranking, position, number of impressions, clicks, Quote requests, Bookings, Customers, revenue, or return on advertising spend.
9.7 Cancellation, expiration, and refunds
The cancellation and refund terms displayed before purchase apply to the Advertising Service. Unless the displayed order terms state otherwise, a Mechanic may cancel a scheduled campaign before delivery begins by contacting support@carifu.com. Once a Profile Boost, Banner Advertisement, or other paid placement has begun or has been delivered, amounts paid are generally non-refundable except where required by law, for duplicate or erroneous charges, for material non-delivery attributable to Carifu, or at Carifu’s discretion. If Carifu ends an Advertising Service for reasons not caused by the Mechanic’s violation, Carifu may provide replacement delivery, an account credit, or a proportional refund for the materially undelivered portion. No refund or credit is required when advertising is rejected, suspended, or removed because of the Mechanic’s violation, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
9.8 Promotions and other add-ons
Mechanic-created discounts and promotions remain the Mechanic’s offers to Customers. The Mechanic is responsible for their accuracy, material terms, funding, expiration, legality, and fulfillment. Plan changes and other paid add-ons are governed by the terms and prices displayed at the time of purchase.
9.9 Carifu-issued Subscription Coupons
Carifu may issue Coupons that cover all or part of an eligible Subscription charge for a stated period or number of uses. Coupon eligibility, covered plan or charge, amount or percentage, start and expiration dates, maximum uses, per-account or total redemption limit, combination rules, and other restrictions are the terms displayed with the Coupon or at checkout. Coupons have no cash value, are not transferable unless Carifu states otherwise, and may not be duplicated, resold, or used fraudulently.
When a Coupon is applied at checkout, Carifu will display the original total, the discounted amount, and the remaining balance due. Additional information about a Coupon, including its duration, expiration, use limit, eligibility, or effect on later Subscription charges, may be requested by emailing support@carifu.com. Unless the Coupon terms state otherwise, the Subscription continues and renews at the then-applicable undiscounted price after the Coupon is exhausted or expires until canceled. A Coupon that temporarily reduces a charge to zero is a limited promotional discount, not a free plan or free trial. Carifu may reject or revoke a Coupon obtained or used through fraud, error, duplication, abuse, or violation of its stated terms, subject to applicable law. Cancellation does not create a cash refund for an unused Coupon.
10. No Guarantee of Results
A Subscription provides access to Platform features only. Carifu does not guarantee any quote requests, Bookings, customers, revenue, or business results.
