Terms of use

1. Purpose

Mon Garage Vélo (formerly RouleZen) is a free service for tracking bike maintenance, published on a personal basis by Matthieu Audisio (see the legal notice). These terms govern its use. Creating an account means accepting them.

2. The service

Mon Garage Vélo is free and open to everyone: anyone aged at least 15 can create an account (article 3; the repairer directory can be browsed without an account, see article 12). The service is provided as is: errors may occur, features may change, be modified or be withdrawn, and the service may be interrupted, in particular for maintenance.

The publisher may end the service; if so, they will give users notice, where possible at least 30 days in advance.

3. Your account

• You must be at least 15 years old to create an account.
• You provide accurate information and create only one account.
• Your password is personal: keep it confidential. You are responsible for the use of your account; in case of fraudulent use, change your password and notify the publisher.
• You can delete your account at any time (Settings → My account → ‘Delete my account’).

4. Wear estimates and alerts

Wear gauges, maintenance due dates and alerts are estimates, calculated from average lifespans and from the information you enter or have imported from Strava. They may be inaccurate: actual wear depends on how you ride, the terrain, the weather and how well the bike is maintained.

They do not replace manufacturers' recommendations, regular checks of your bike or a professional's advice. You remain responsible for the condition and safety of your bike: in particular, check the brakes, tyres, drivetrain and suspension before riding, even if Mon Garage Vélo shows no alert.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

• try to access other users' accounts or data;
• bypass or test the site's protections, or disrupt its operation (mass requests, abusive automation, etc.);
• upload unlawful content or content that infringes the rights of others, in particular photos you have no right to use.

6. Your content

Your data (bikes, parts, history, notes, photos) remains yours. You authorise the publisher only to store and display it in order to provide the service to you; your photos are not visible to any other user. You warrant that you hold the rights to the photos you upload.

7. Strava

Connecting to Strava is optional. It is subject to Strava's terms of use; Mon Garage Vélo is neither affiliated with Strava, Inc. nor endorsed by it. The data retrieved is described in the privacy policy. You can disconnect Strava at any time from Settings.

8. Liability

The publisher does their best to keep the service running and to preserve your data (a copy of the database is made at every update of the site; photos are not backed up), but cannot guarantee either. To the extent permitted by law, the publisher cannot be held liable for service interruptions, for data loss or for the consequences of maintenance decisions made solely on the strength of Mon Garage Vélo's estimates.

These limits do not apply in the case of the publisher's gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or to personal injury attributable to the publisher.

9. Suspension and deletion of an account

If these terms are breached, the publisher may suspend or delete the account concerned, after notifying you by email, except in urgent cases (a breach of the security of the site or of other users' data).

10. Personal data

How your personal data is processed is described in the privacy policy.

11. Changes to the terms

These terms may change. In the case of a significant change, users are informed on the site or by email before it takes effect, and are asked to accept the new version on their next visit. If you do not accept the new version, you can delete your account; continuing to use the service constitutes acceptance.

12. Repairer directory

The directory, which is public (accessible without an account), lists bike repairers and community bike workshops based on public data from ADEME (Open Licence 2.0), supplemented by requests from repairers and users. The information is provided as is, with no guarantee of accuracy and no recommendation by Mon Garage Vélo: check opening hours and services with the workshop.

Results are ranked by distance only; no listing is promoted in return for payment.

Anyone can ask for a listing to be added or corrected, or report a listing that is wrong or unlawful; a workshop's manager can also ask for its listing to be removed. All of this goes through the List my workshop form or [email protected]. Each request is reviewed; a refusal is explained, and the reply is sent to the email address provided.

13. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by French law. In case of disagreement, first write to [email protected] to seek an amicable solution; failing that, the French courts have jurisdiction.

The foregoing applies without prejudice to the mandatory provisions of your country of residence. These terms are published in French and in English; the English version is a translation and, in case of discrepancy, the French version prevails.
