This page summarizes the operating rules implied by the token model used by TuningLab. It is intended for product clarity.
Formal terms can be expanded into a full Terms of Service document as needed.
Definitions
Key Definitions
Profile Token: A unique identifier assigned to a single tuning profile. Each tuning profile requires exactly one Profile Token.
Master Token: An identifier associated with a license that enables access to platform features and manages Profile Tokens.
License: The purchased entitlement (Garage / Shop Small / Shop Large) that defines feature access, device/user limits, and subscription rules (Shop editions).
License grant
License Grant
TuningLab grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Software subject to the purchased edition and these operating rules.
Profiles created in the Software are associated with Profile Tokens and remain subject to license validation and subscription status.
Garage licenses are intended for personal use (single user/single machine, per edition rules).
Subscriptions
Subscription, Cancellation, and Access
Shop editions are subscription-based. Cancellation deactivates the license and disables access across all instances.
Upon cancellation: the license is marked inactive and tokens may be revoked according to policy.
Profiles remain stored but are inaccessible until the license is reactivated.
Customers can initiate cancellation from within the web application where enabled.
Offline use
Offline Use and Validation
Local installations may operate offline for a limited validation window.
Offline validation window: up to 30 days without online validation.
Warning period: Day 25–30 (red warning) indicates the machine must reconnect and sync.
If validation expires: profiles become unavailable until the instance reconnects and validates subscription/license status.
Offline rules are designed to support real-world tuning workflows while protecting subscription integrity.
Transfers
Transfers
Profile Tokens may be transferred only through supported TuningLab mechanisms and subject to approval rules.
Shop-to-shop transfers may require an approval code depending on the token configuration.
Transfer actions may be recorded for audit purposes.
Garage profiles can be upgraded or transferred into a Shop context without rework.
