TRUCKDECK

TruckDeck Terms of Use

Effective date: 14 November 2026 Last updated: 14 November 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Fernando Laska, trading as Mad Frog Studios, a sole trader in Ireland ("we", "us") (registration of this business name with the Companies Registration Office is pending), 16-30 Foley Street, Montgomery Court, Dublin 1, Ireland, email [email protected], for the use of:

  • the TruckDeck Android app distributed through Google Play (the "App"); and
  • the free TruckDeck Bridge program for Windows, downloaded from the TruckDeck page on madfrog.ie (the "Bridge"), at https://madfrog.ie/truckdeck/download/

Together they are "TruckDeck". By installing or using TruckDeck you accept these terms. Your purchase on Google Play is also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service. If these terms and Google's terms conflict on how Google Play works (payment, refunds through Google, your Google account), Google's terms apply to that point.

Nothing in these terms reduces the rights you have as a consumer under Irish or EU law.

1. What TruckDeck is

TruckDeck turns an Android tablet or phone into a button panel and dashboard for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. The App sends button presses to the Bridge on your PC, and the Bridge turns them into key presses for the game and passes live game telemetry back to the App.

TruckDeck is an unofficial companion app for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SCS Software s.r.o. Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator and SCS Software are trademarks or trade names of their respective owners.

2. What you need

  • A Windows 10 or 11 PC that runs the supported game;
  • an Android device running Android 7.0 or newer;
  • both devices on the same local (Wi-Fi) network;
  • the Bridge running on the PC while you use the App.

The App does not work on its own: it needs the Bridge by design. Please check these requirements before buying. The store listing describes the features included in the current version.

3. Price and payment

  • The App's price is the one shown on Google Play at the moment you buy, including any applicable VAT. Prices may change and can vary by country and during promotions. The Bridge is free.
  • Payment is handled entirely by Google Play. In the EU/EEA, Google acts as merchant of record for Google Play sales. We never see your payment details.
  • Future optional content (for example additional panels) may be offered as in-app purchases through Google Play Billing. Each will show its price before you buy.
  • There are no advertisements and no subscriptions in the current version.
  • At present the App is sold only through Google Play. These pages on madfrog.ie do not take payment or provide a checkout.

4. Refunds and your right to cancel

Refunds. We follow Google Play's standard refund policy and do not offer a separate refund scheme. You can request a refund from Google as described in Google Play Help ("Get refunds on Google Play": https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637). If you have a problem with a purchase, you can also email [email protected] with your Google Play order number and we will look into it.

Your statutory rights are not affected. This section does not limit any right you have under Irish or EU consumer law, in particular:

  • Right to cancel (withdrawal): for digital content bought online you normally have 14 days from the purchase to cancel without giving a reason (Consumer Rights Act 2022, Part 4). For digital content that is supplied immediately, this right ends once the download starts only if you gave your prior express consent to immediate supply, acknowledged that you would lose the right to cancel, and received confirmation of this. If those conditions were not met, you keep your right to cancel.
  • Faulty or not-as-described content: your remedies under section 5 apply whatever Google Play's refund policy says.

5. If TruckDeck does not work as described

Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 apply. TruckDeck must match its description, be fit for the purposes we describe, and receive the updates (including security updates) needed to keep it conforming. If it does not, you are entitled to have it fixed free of charge within a reasonable time and, if that is not possible or does not work, to a price reduction or a refund. Contact [email protected].

These rights do not cover problems caused by:

  • a game update, mod, or change by SCS Software or a third party that we could not reasonably prevent — we will try to restore compatibility in a reasonable time, and if we cannot, your statutory remedies still apply;
  • your PC, device or network not meeting the requirements in section 2, if we told you about those requirements clearly before purchase;
  • not installing an update we supplied with clear instructions within a reasonable time.

6. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the App on Android devices linked to the Google account used to buy it, as allowed by Google Play, and to install and use the Bridge on your own PCs, for your personal use. Commercial use is not allowed, with one exception: streamers and content creators may use and show TruckDeck in their own videos and live streams, including monetised ones.

You must not:

  • copy, sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the App or the Bridge (sharing the official Bridge download link is fine);
  • decompile, reverse-engineer or modify them, except where the law expressly allows it;
  • remove trademark, copyright or attribution notices;
  • use TruckDeck to break the law, cheat in online multiplayer where its rules forbid input devices, or interfere with other people's devices or networks.

TruckDeck, its panels, artwork and code belong to us or our licensors. The Bridge includes open-source components (for example the Node.js runtime and the SCS telemetry plugin by RenCloud), which are licensed under their own terms. You can ask us for a copy of these licence notices at [email protected].

7. The Bridge, administrator rights and your network

  • The Bridge asks for administrator rights on Windows because otherwise Windows may block key presses to a game running with elevated rights. It adds a firewall rule for private networks, listens on port 8765 of your local network, and on first run can install the third-party telemetry plugin into the game folder.
  • Only download the Bridge from our official link on the TruckDeck page on madfrog.ie: https://madfrog.ie/truckdeck/download/ Check the SHA-256 checksum shown on that page against the file you download. We are not responsible for copies obtained elsewhere.
  • The connection between the App and the Bridge is not encrypted and is protected by a 4-digit PIN. Use it only on a network you trust and do not expose port 8765 to the internet.
  • You can stop the Bridge at any time by closing it, and remove the telemetry plugin by deleting it from the game's plugins folder.

8. Safe use

TruckDeck is for use with computer games only. Do not use it in, or to control, a real vehicle, and do not use a mounted device in a way that distracts you while driving on public roads.

9. Updates and changes

We may update TruckDeck to fix bugs, keep it compatible with new game versions or improve it. If a change would negatively affect your access to or use of the App in more than a minor way, we will tell you in advance, and you will have the rights the Consumer Rights Act 2022 gives you in that case (including, where applicable, the right to end the contract free of charge within 30 days). We will supply updates needed to keep TruckDeck conforming for at least as long as the App is sold on Google Play and for a reasonable period afterwards.

10. Support

Email [email protected]. We aim to reply within 2 working days. We also run a community Discord server; it is optional and its own terms apply.

11. Privacy

The App has no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and talks only to your own PC. See our Privacy Policy: https://madfrog.ie/truckdeck/privacy/

12. Our liability to you

  • If we break these terms or fail to use reasonable care and skill, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of that. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable when you bought TruckDeck.
  • We are not liable for business losses: TruckDeck is for personal, domestic use.
  • We are responsible for damage to your device or to other digital content you own that is caused by defective digital content we supplied, where we failed to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for damage you could have avoided by following our instructions or installing an update we provided free of charge.
  • Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including your statutory consumer rights.

13. Ending these terms

You can stop using TruckDeck at any time by uninstalling the App and deleting the Bridge. We can end your licence if you seriously breach section 6, after telling you why where it is reasonable to do so. Ending the licence does not affect your statutory rights or any refund you are owed.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example to reflect new features or changes in the law. We will publish the new version with a new effective date and, for significant changes, give notice in the app's release notes. Changes do not apply retroactively to purchases already made, and they never reduce your statutory rights.

15. Law and courts

  • These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland.
  • If you are a consumer living in another EU/EEA country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country, and you can bring a claim in the courts of your country or of Ireland.
  • If you live in Ireland, you can bring a claim in the Irish courts, including the Small Claims procedure for claims up to €2,000.
  • Before going to court, please email us — most problems can be fixed quickly. You can also get independent advice from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (www.ccpc.ie) or, in another EU country, from your local European Consumer Centre.
