Welcome to Braking Lab. By using our service, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Braking Lab (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.
2. Service Description
Braking Lab is a free brake training and telemetry analysis platform for sim racers. The Service consists of: (a) a web application for brake training exercises, telemetry analysis, race preparation, and performance tracking; (b) an optional desktop client ('Braking Lab Capture') for Windows that captures real-time telemetry from iRacing and uploads it to the cloud; (c) an AI-powered Race Engineer accessible through third-party AI clients via the Model Context Protocol (MCP); and (d) a public leaderboard where users can optionally share their best lap times. The Service integrates with iRacing for content synchronization, telemetry capture, and racing data.
3. User Accounts
You may use Braking Lab as a guest without creating an account. If you choose to create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities under your account. You must provide accurate information when creating an account.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You may not: (a) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems; (b) use the Service to transmit harmful code; (c) interfere with other users' enjoyment of the Service; (d) use automated systems to access the Service without permission; (e) manipulate leaderboard rankings through falsified or modified telemetry data; (f) abuse the Race Engineer API through excessive requests, prompt injection attempts, or attempts to extract system prompts; (g) use the MCP server to attempt to access other users' data or bypass authorization controls; (h) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the desktop client software.
5. User Content
You retain ownership of any content you create, including custom exercises, training data, notes, telemetry data, track notepads, and race preparations. By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, analyze, and display this content solely to provide the Service to you. This includes processing telemetry data to generate performance metrics, braking zone analysis, and AI coaching insights. If you opt into the public leaderboard, you grant us a license to display your display name, lap times, track, and car information on the leaderboard. You may delete your content or opt out of the leaderboard at any time.
6. Intellectual Property
Braking Lab and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by Braking Lab and are protected by international copyright and trademark laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our content without permission.
7. Third-Party Services
The Service integrates with third-party services, including but not limited to: Garage61 for telemetry import; iRacing for telemetry capture and content synchronization; Anthropic, OpenAI, and other AI providers that you may connect via the Race Engineer; Cloudflare for content delivery and telemetry storage; Railway for server hosting; Sentry for error monitoring; and PostHog for analytics. iRacing® is a registered trademark of iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, LLC. Garage61 is a trademark of its respective owner. These third-party services are provided by their respective owners and operators, and your use of these services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for the availability, accuracy, or reliability of these third-party services. Any issues arising from the use of third-party services should be directed to the respective service providers.
8. Desktop Software
The Braking Lab Capture desktop client is provided under a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license for personal, non-commercial use. You may install and use the client on Windows computers you own or control. You may not: (a) redistribute, sublicense, or sell the client; (b) reverse-engineer, decompile, or modify the client; (c) use the client with any simulator other than those officially supported; (d) circumvent any usage limits, quotas, or rate limiting implemented in the client. The desktop client may automatically check for and install updates. We may discontinue or modify the desktop client at any time without prior notice.
9. AI Race Engineer Disclaimer
The Race Engineer feature provides AI-generated analysis and coaching based on your telemetry data. ALL AI-GENERATED CONTENT IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. It does not constitute professional driving instruction, safety advice, or engineering guidance. You should not rely on AI recommendations as a substitute for professional coaching or instruction. AI analysis may contain errors, inaccuracies, or incorrect interpretations of your telemetry data. We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of AI-generated content. You use AI-generated recommendations entirely at your own risk. By connecting a third-party AI client (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Windsurf) via OAuth, you authorize that client to access your telemetry data through our MCP server. You are responsible for reviewing and accepting the privacy policies and terms of service of any AI provider you connect.
10. Public Leaderboard
The public leaderboard displays lap times submitted by users who opt in. Leaderboard participation is voluntary and can be disabled at any time in your account settings. We do not independently verify the accuracy of submitted lap times and make no guarantees about leaderboard rankings. We reserve the right to remove entries that we reasonably believe were obtained through manipulation, exploits, or modified telemetry data, without prior notice. Leaderboard data — including display name, lap time, track, and car — is publicly visible to all users and may be indexed by search engines.
11. Usage Limits & Quotas
The Service may impose usage limits including but not limited to: telemetry capture quotas (laps per session, sessions per period), API rate limits for the Race Engineer and MCP server, and storage limits for telemetry data. These limits may vary between free and paid tiers and may be modified at any time without prior notice. Exceeding usage limits may result in temporary or permanent restriction of functionality.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE WEB APPLICATION, DESKTOP CLIENT, AI RACE ENGINEER, AND ALL CONTENT GENERATED THEREBY, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (b) telemetry data will be captured, transmitted, or stored without loss or corruption; (c) AI-generated analysis or coaching will be accurate, complete, or useful; (d) leaderboard rankings will be accurate or free from manipulation; (e) the desktop client will be compatible with all hardware configurations or system environments. Braking Lab is a training and analysis tool and does not guarantee improvement in racing performance.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Braking Lab and its operators, affiliates, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to: loss of telemetry data; incorrect, misleading, or incomplete AI-generated analysis or coaching advice; leaderboard ranking disputes; damages arising from the use of third-party AI clients connected via the Race Engineer; hardware or software incompatibilities with the desktop client; or any interruption or discontinuation of the Service.
14. Termination
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or the Service. Upon termination, your license to use the desktop client is immediately revoked, and you must uninstall it from all devices. We may also remove your data from the leaderboard upon termination.
15. Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a notice on the Service. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
16. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Madrid, Spain.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
