Terms of Use

Version of 12 September 2026

The Rally Call app and the rally-call.com website are published by the site publisher, reachable at contact@rally-call.com. These terms apply to any use of the app, the Rally Call button and the accessories offered on the website. They are shown in the app on first launch and with each new version, and must be accepted to use it.

1. What Rally Call is for

Rally Call is a note-taking assistant for rally reconnaissance. It records steering angles, distances and voice notes to help the crew prepare their pace notes. Under no circumstances does it replace the vigilance, experience and checks of the driver and co-driver. It is neither a safety device, nor a certified measuring instrument, nor a navigation system.

2. Reconnaissance on open roads

Reconnaissance takes place on roads open to public traffic. Traffic law applies in full: speed limits, right of way, safety distances, and the prohibition of any dangerous driving. Rally Call does not allow, encourage or reward any offence. During an event, use is only permitted within the organiser's regulations and those of the relevant federations.

3. Driver and co-driver roles

The co-driver is responsible for the app: setup, calibration, voice notes, corrections and supervision during reconnaissance. The driver is limited to a brief press to mark a trip, using one of the three intended means: the on-screen virtual button (large dedicated zone with haptic feedback), the physical Rally Call button, or a key on a connected Bluetooth keyboard. This press is made without taking eyes off the road, with equipment mounted so as not to hinder driving, controls or visibility, and only when traffic conditions allow. Any other interaction with the screen is done while stopped or left to the co-driver. Driving remains the absolute priority at all times. In case of doubt, the crew stops using the app.

4. Mounting the phone on the steering wheel

The steering dial uses the phone's sensors and assumes the phone is mounted on the steering wheel. This installation is the sole responsibility of the crew. Before each use, the crew checks that: - the mount is secure and the phone cannot come loose; - the phone does not hinder the driver's hands, the controls or visibility; - the phone and its mount are not in the airbag deployment zone and do not interfere with any vehicle safety system (airbags, seat belts, controls); - the vehicle and its insurance allow this use. An object attached to the steering wheel may be considered by the police as an obstruction to driving and result in a fine. In case of doubt, do not mount the phone on the steering wheel: voice notes and distances remain usable with the phone held by the co-driver.

5. Notes, measurements and data

Angles, distances, speeds and positions are computed from the phone's sensors and GPS, with their inaccuracies and limits. Automatic features (RC+, speech recognition) may produce errors. The crew must always check, adjust and validate every note before any use in real conditions. Files shared or downloaded from the marketplace are subject to the same verification obligation. Rally Call does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of generated or exchanged notes.

6. Button and accessories

The Rally Call button and, where applicable, a standard Bluetooth keyboard are optional accessories that trigger the same actions as the on-screen virtual button. They must be mounted securely inside the cabin, outside airbag deployment zones and without hindering the controls. Third-party accessories offered on the website (mounting strap, Velcro, keyboard) through affiliate links are neither designed, manufactured nor sold by Rally Call. Their choice, installation and use are the sole responsibility of the user, who refers to the manufacturer's instructions and warnings.

7. Liability

The user remains solely responsible for their behaviour, compliance with traffic law and sporting regulations, and the way they install and use their phone, the button and any accessory. Use of the app is at the user's own risk. To the extent permitted by law, the publisher cannot be held liable for damage resulting from use that does not comply with these terms, from a faulty mounting of the equipment, from a traffic offence, or from errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the notes. This clause does not limit the publisher's liability where the law prohibits such limitation. The app is provided "as is", without any guarantee of availability or absence of errors.

8. Acceptance and changes

These terms are accepted in the app before first use. The version and date of acceptance are recorded on the device. Any new version is shown again and must be accepted to keep using the app. The publisher may change these terms at any time. The version in force is the one published on this page.

9. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by French law. For any question: contact@rally-call.com. See also: privacy policy, terms of sale, legal notice.
