Plain Language Summary

These Terms of Use govern your use of the Waze app and website, a social navigation service. Key points emphasize that road information prevails over the app, cautious driving is required, and user-submitted data may be inaccurate. Users must be at least 16 years old and can terminate their account at any time, though Waze retains a broad, perpetual license to user-submitted content. Waze can also terminate or modify the service and terms unilaterally, with continued use signifying acceptance.
