These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Celvari (the "Service"), operated by Smart Technology Investments LLC ("Company," "we," "us," "our"). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Celvari, you represent that you are at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and agree to comply with them. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Celvari uses publicly available DOE, EPA, EIA, and NREL data along with Monte Carlo simulation to help consumers compare the total cost of ownership of electric vehicles versus internal combustion engine vehicles. The Service provides estimated TCO projections, battery degradation modeling, federal and state incentive eligibility analysis, charging cost optimization, and break-even analysis. The Service is informational only.

3. Not Financial or Tax Advice

Celvari is not a licensed financial advisor, tax professional, or automotive dealer. The TCO comparisons and cost estimates provided are based on publicly available data and statistical models. They do not constitute recommendations to purchase or decline any specific vehicle.

You should always:

Verify vehicle pricing and specifications directly with the manufacturer or dealer
Consult a qualified tax professional regarding EV tax credit eligibility
Verify incentive eligibility with the IRS and your state tax authority
Review insurance quotes from your own provider before making purchase decisions

4. Data Accuracy Disclaimer

Our cost estimates are derived from DOE AFLEET methodology, EPA fueleconomy.gov, EIA energy prices, NREL utility rates, and battery degradation research that are updated on their own schedules. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose of data derived from third-party sources.

Cost estimates are probabilistic, not guarantees. Monte Carlo projections model a range of possible outcomes based on statistical distributions. Your actual costs may differ significantly from the estimates. Gas prices, electricity rates, battery degradation, and incentive rules change over time.

5. Permitted Use

You may use the Service for lawful personal or commercial research purposes. You agree not to:

Reproduce, resell, or sublicense our TCO outputs without a commercial license

Use the Service to discriminate against any person in violation of applicable law
Represent our data as official government data or as financial/tax advice
Attempt to reverse-engineer our optimization algorithms or scoring methodology
Use the Service to harass, defame, or harm any person or entity

6. Credits and Billing

Celvari uses a per-report credit system. Credits are purchased as one-time payments (not subscriptions) via Stripe. Single reports cost 1 credit ($12), report packs provide 3 credits ($29), and API credit packs are available for developers and fleet managers. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. We may change pricing with 30 days' notice.
