These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Permit Hours mobile application (the “App”) operated by Kovan Apps Yazılım Ltd. Şti. (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Description of Service

Permit Hours is a supervised-driving log. It lets you record practice sessions — by timer or by entering them manually — split them into daytime and nighttime minutes, track progress toward your state’s stated requirements, share the log with another supervisor, and export a printable PDF report.

⚠️ Not an official DMV service: Permit Hours is an independent app and is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any Department of Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, state licensing agency, insurer, or driving school. The hour requirements shown in the App are compiled from public sources for reference only and may be out of date or incomplete. Always verify current requirements with your own state’s licensing agency, and confirm with them whether a printed log from this App is acceptable before relying on it.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to accept these Terms and to make purchases in the App. The App is intended to be set up and maintained by a parent, guardian, or supervising driver. A learner driver may use the App under the supervision of such an adult.

3. Accounts and Family Sync

The App does not require a traditional account: there is no sign-up, password, or email address. Your device is identified by an anonymous ID generated on first launch.

4. Accuracy of Your Log

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and honesty of the entries you record. The App calculates the day/night split from the session’s times and the sun’s position, and may estimate distance from your device’s GPS; both are approximations that you can review and edit. Submitting a knowingly false driving record to a licensing agency may be unlawful, and you assume all responsibility for what you submit.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

6. Purchases and Payments

The App offers a single optional one-time purchase (“Full Unlock”, $7.99 USD or local equivalent). By purchasing, you agree to the following:

What Full Unlock Includes

Billing

Free Tier

Before purchase, the App allows a limited number of logged hours per account so you can evaluate it. The exact limit may change over time. Sessions you logged for free remain yours; reaching the limit stops further logging until you unlock, and never deletes existing records.

Refunds

Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google according to their respective refund policies. We do not process refunds directly. For assistance, contact Apple Support or Google Play Support.

7. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, interface, code, logos, and all associated intellectual property, is owned by Kovan Apps Yazılım Ltd. Şti. and protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. State agency names and form titles referenced in the App are the property of their respective agencies and are used solely to describe the requirements the App presents. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes. The driving records you enter remain yours.

8. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with the following third-party services, each governed by their own terms and privacy policies:
