Welcome to Waze!

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your rights and obligations regarding the use of Waze’s Software (“Software”) and service (both collectively referred to as the “Service”) on the Internet or in cellular media. These Terms constitute a fully binding agreement between Waze Mobile Ltd. (including its affiliates and subsidiaries, “Waze” or “We”) the proprietor of all rights in and to the Service, and you. It is therefore recommended that you carefully read these Terms.

By using the Waze Service, you signify your assent to these Terms;

1. Waze’s privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”); and
2. Waze’s copyright policy (“Copyright Policy”)

all of which are an integral part of these Terms.

KEY POINTS

The following key points of the Terms are highlighted here for your convenience only. These key points are not made in lieu of the full Terms and their presence in this section does not mean that they are intended to supersede or override any other terms or conditions provided by Waze..

• Road information prevails. The information provided by the Service is not intended to replace the information provided on the road, such as travel direction, time based restrictions, lane restrictions, road blockades, traffic signs, traffic lights, police instructions, etc.

• Cautious driving. Always drive vigilantly according to road conditions and in accordance with traffic laws. It is strictly forbidden to send traffic updates (such as updates on road accidents and traffic congestion), or to non-verbally interact with the Service or use the Service in a non-verbal manner for any purpose other than navigation while driving. Traffic updates or non-verbal reports you want to submit to the Service may only be sent after you have stopped your vehicle in an appropriate location permitted by law. Alternatively, such updates may be sent by a passenger other than the driver, provided it does not interfere with the due course of driving and does not distract the driver’s attention to the road.

• Non-continuous updates. The information provided by the Service originates from other users of the Service. Such information is intrinsically fluctuant and may be inaccurate, incomplete or outdated. Waze does not provide any warranties to such information’s credibility or reliability.

• Location-based Service. Some features of the Service make use of detailed location and route information, for example in the form of GPS signals and other information sent by your mobile device on which the Waze application is installed and activated. These features cannot be provided without utilizing this technology. Please note, as described in detail in the Privacy Policy:

  • Waze uses your location and route information to create a detailed route history of all of your journeys made when using the Service. Waze uses this history to offer the Service to you, to improve the quality of the Service it offers to you and to all of its users, to improve the accuracy of its mapping and navigation data, and more as described in detail in the Privacy Policy. This history is associated with your account and username (if you have chosen to set up a username). This history is retained by Waze for a limited period of time and in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

  • Waze allows you to use the Service whether or not you choose to set up a username for yourself. If you choose to use the Service without setting up a username you may do so by skipping the username setup stage of the application installation process. Waze will still link all of your information with your account and a unique identifier generated by Waze in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Note that in order to access certain features of the Service (for example map editing, ranking, moods) you will need to set up a username.

• Advertisements. Third party advertisements may appear on the Service from time to time. Waze does not endorse these advertisements, and the advertisements are not intended to be, nor should they be, viewed by drivers unless and until their vehicle has come to a complete stop.

• The Internet connection required to use the Service, and any associated charges (e.g. mobile data expenses) incurred by your use of the Service are your exclusive responsibility and made solely at your expense. Transmitting and receiving real-time updates to and from the Service, requires an online (e.g. Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G) connection between your cellular device and the Internet.
