1.1 About These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the CarBeep Buddy mobile application ("App") and related services ("Services") provided by CarBeep Sdn. Bhd. ("CarBeep", "we", "us", "our"), a company incorporated in Malaysia.

The CarBeep Buddy App is designed for workshop owners and mechanics. By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the App or Services.
