The short version

SLICs is a free tool built by a driver for drivers. Use it to look things up, share what you know in the comments, and be decent to each other. Don't use it while the truck is moving, don't treat it as a replacement for dispatch, and don't copy the data out of it. The rest of this page spells that out.

Agreeing to these terms

By creating an account or using SLICs ("the app"), you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. The app is built and run by Tiago Davila ("we" or "us").

Not affiliated with UPS

SLICs is an independent project. It is not made, endorsed, sponsored or operated by UPS, and nothing in the app is an official UPS instruction. Your employer's policies and your dispatcher's directions always come first. You are responsible for making sure your use of the app complies with those policies.

Who can use the app

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• The app is meant for working drivers and the people who support them. Please don’t create an account if you don’t need the information for your job.
• Give us accurate information when you sign up, and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, so tell us right away if you think someone else has used it.
• One account per person. Don’t share your login or let anyone else sign in as you.

Safety first

The app is designed to be used before you leave the yard or while you are safely parked. Never read, tap, type or scroll on it while your vehicle is moving. The tap-to-call and tap-for-directions links hand off to your phone and maps apps; follow the law and your employer's rules on phone use whenever you use them. You alone are responsible for operating your vehicle safely.

Accuracy of the information

Addresses, phone numbers, directions PDFs and everything else in the app are maintained by hand, and the comments are written by other drivers. Locations change, entrances move, phone numbers get reassigned, and people make mistakes. We do our best to keep things current, but we can't promise that anything in the app is complete, correct or up to date.

Treat the app as a convenience, not a source of truth. If something looks wrong, or if the app and your dispatcher disagree, go with dispatch, and let us know so we can fix it.

Comments and things you post

Comments are what turn the app from an address list into shared knowledge, and we want you to use them. A few ground rules:

• Keep it about the location: entrances, road restrictions, who to call, where to park, what to watch out for.
• Be respectful. No harassment, threats, slurs or personal attacks on other drivers, customers or anyone else.
• Don’t post other people’s personal information, such as a coworker’s home address or personal phone number, unless it is something they have shared for work purposes.
• Don’t post anything you don’t have the right to share, and nothing illegal.
• No spam, advertising or off-topic posts.

You own what you write. By posting it, you give us permission to store it, show it to other signed-in drivers alongside your name and profile picture, and keep showing it until you delete it or your account is removed. You can delete your own comments at any time from your profile page.

We can edit or remove any comment, and suspend or close any account, that we believe breaks these rules or makes the app worse for other drivers. We aren't obliged to review every comment before it appears, so don't assume that a comment is accurate just because it's there.

Acceptable use

When using the app, you agree not to:

• Copy, scrape, export or redistribute the address database, PDFs or comments, in bulk or otherwise, outside the app.
• Use bots, scripts or automated tools to access the app, or try to get around rate limits, sign-in or other protections.
• Try to access accounts, admin pages or data that aren’t yours.
• Upload anything that contains viruses or malicious code, or do anything that disrupts the app for other people.
• Use the app for anything unlawful.

Supporter memberships

The app is free to use. If you choose to support it through Buy Me a Coffee, some extra features, such as the History page, unlock while your membership is active. A few things to know:

• Payments are handled entirely by Buy Me a Coffee under its own terms. We never see your card details.
• Membership is a way of supporting the project. It doesn’t buy ownership of any data or a guarantee that any particular feature will exist forever.
• Supporter features may be added, changed or retired as the app evolves.
• Refunds and billing questions go through Buy Me a Coffee. If your membership isn’t showing up in the app, email us and we’ll sort it out.

Third-party services

The app links out to Google Maps, your phone's dialer and Buy Me a Coffee, and uses Google for sign-in. Those services belong to other companies and have their own terms and privacy policies. We aren't responsible for how they work or for what happens once you leave the app.

Our content

The SLICs name, logo, design and the compiled address database are ours. The address of a UPS hub or a customer isn't secret, but the work of collecting, organizing and keeping all of it current is, and that is what these terms protect. You may use the app and its content for your own work as a driver. You may not copy it into another product, sell it or publish it.

Availability and changes

We work on the app in our spare time. It may be unavailable now and then, and features may change, break or disappear without notice. We may also stop offering the app entirely. We'll try to give a heads-up for anything major, but we can't promise it.

Ending your account

You can stop using the app at any time. To delete your account, open your profile page, tap the settings icon next to your name and choose "Delete account". You'll be asked to confirm, because deletion is immediate and can't be undone. It removes your profile, including your name, email address, phone number and password; all of your comments; your votes on other drivers' comments; your lookup history; and, if you signed in with Google, the link between your Google account and the app. You'll be signed out on every device.

You're welcome to create a new account later, but your old comments and history won't come back. If you have trouble deleting your account, email WebDevilishSmile@gmail.com and we'll take care of it.

We may suspend or delete an account that breaks these terms or that has been used to harm the app or other drivers. If that happens, you'll lose access to anything tied to the account, including your comments and lookup history.

No warranties

The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any warranty that it will be accurate, reliable, uninterrupted, error free or fit for a particular purpose. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using, or not being able to use, the app. That includes a wrong or outdated address, a missed or late delivery, a fine, a ticket, disciplinary action, an accident, lost data, or anything a comment says. If we are found liable despite this, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid to support the app in the twelve months before the claim, or zero if you haven't paid anything.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, no matter which state you use the app from. Any dispute about the app or these terms will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Pennsylvania, and you agree to the jurisdiction of those courts. The app is intended for use in the United States.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the app changes. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
