Terms & Conditions

RoadScope — Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 11 December 2025

Please read these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) carefully before using RoadScope. By accessing or using the RoadScope website and services, you (“you” or “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use RoadScope.

1. Definition of Service

What is RoadScope

RoadScope (“the Service”) is a web-based tool that visualises mobile speed camera corridor data on an interactive map. It combines open map data with officially published road safety camera locations to help users see where mobile speed cameras may operate in Victoria, Australia (and potentially other areas of Australia).

Key features include:

• an interactive map (using OpenStreetMap data) with overlays highlighting mobile speed camera corridors (areas or road segments where mobile speed cameras are approved to operate)
• periodically updated information about camera locations based on data published by the Victorian Government (and possibly other Australian state authorities)
• two tiers of access:
• a Free tier that allows general use of the map with some limitations
• a Paid tier that offers expanded access (for example, additional details, extended data or advanced features)
• login via Google Sign-In to distinguish free vs paid users
• payments handled via Stripe for users who choose to upgrade to the Paid tier

Early Access / MVP Status

RoadScope is currently in an Early Access or MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage. This means:

• the Service is under active development
• the Service may have bugs, incomplete features, or inaccuracies
• functionality, design and data coverage may change over time

You acknowledge and accept that the Service is not a finished product and may not be free of defects.

RoadScope is provided by a sole trader in Victoria, Australia. Any references to “we” or “us” in these Terms refer to the owner/operator of RoadScope.

2. Accounts and Eligibility

2.1 Eligibility – 18+ Only

• You must be at least 18 years old to use RoadScope.
• By accessing the Service or creating an account via Google Sign-In, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older.
• If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use this Service.
• We reserve the right to ask for proof of age if necessary.

2.2 Google Sign-In

• To use RoadScope (beyond any limited demo view), you must log in using Google Identity Services.
• We do not offer a separate username/password system.
• You will be redirected to Google to authenticate. Upon successful login, Google provides us with your basic profile information (see the Privacy Policy for details).
• By signing in, you also agree to comply with Google’s terms of service when using your Google account.

2.3 Account Responsibility

Because RoadScope uses your Google account for access:

• you are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account
• do not share your Google credentials with others or allow others to access RoadScope through your Google account
• if you suspect unauthorised use of your Google account or of RoadScope, you should secure your Google account (for example, change your password, revoke tokens) and notify us of any breach affecting RoadScope

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorised use of your account, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

2.4 Accuracy of Information

• You must provide accurate information when using the Service.
• In practice, this primarily means using your own valid Google profile (name and email) and not impersonating others.
• You agree not to use a Google account that you are not authorised to use and not to impersonate any person or entity.
• We may suspend or terminate access if we believe you have violated these requirements.

3. Subscription, Fees and Payment Terms

3.1 Free and Paid Tiers

RoadScope is available in both free and paid forms:

• the Free tier provides basic functionality at no cost
• the Paid tier (“Premium”) offers additional or expanded features, such as broader or richer corridor visualisation, extended history, or other advanced features

Details of what each tier includes are described on our website or within the app interface. We may change the features of the Free or Paid tiers over time. Any significant changes to paid features will be communicated to subscribers.

3.2 Payment Processor

• All payments for the Paid tier are handled via Stripe Checkout.
• When you purchase a Paid plan or subscription, you are directed to Stripe’s secure checkout page.
• By submitting payment information, you agree to Stripe’s terms and conditions for payment processing.
• We do not collect your credit card details; Stripe does this on our behalf.
• Once your payment is successful, Stripe notifies us and we grant your account access to the premium features.

3.3 Pricing and Billing

• Prices for the Paid tier are stated in Australian Dollars (AUD) unless otherwise indicated.
• The pricing and billing cycle (for example, monthly subscription, annual subscription, or one-off purchase) will be presented to you at the time of purchase.
• By completing a purchase, you authorise Stripe to charge your selected payment method for the specified amount, and for recurring subscriptions you authorise charges at each renewal period until you cancel.
• All fees include applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Where a tax (such as GST) is not included, it will be shown at checkout.

3.4 Refunds, Trials and Consumer Guarantees

• We may, at our discretion, offer a free trial period or limited free access to premium features. After any trial, if you continue with a subscription, you will be charged as shown at checkout.
• Change of mind: We generally do not offer refunds if you simply change your mind or decide you no longer want the Paid service, provided this policy has been clearly disclosed.
• Australian Consumer Law (ACL): Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. If the service fails to meet a consumer guarantee – for example, if RoadScope’s premium service is not delivered as described, is substantially unfit for its purpose, or has a major problem – you may be entitled to a remedy. This may include a refund or other form of compensation, as appropriate, in line with the ACL.
• Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify your rights under the ACL. For how we limit liability beyond these non-excludable rights, see Section 8 (Limitation of Liability).

3.5 Cancellation

• You may cancel a recurring subscription at any time.
• Cancellation stops future billing. You will keep access to the Paid tier features until the end of the current billing period you have already paid for. After that, your account will revert to the Free tier.
• To cancel, you can follow the instructions provided in the RoadScope interface or on the Stripe customer portal (for example, via a “Manage Subscription” link), or contact us for assistance.
• We do not charge cancellation fees.
• If you cancel during a billing period, we do not provide pro-rata refunds for the remaining time in that period, except where required by law.
• For one-time purchases (if offered), once the purchase is delivered (that is, premium access granted), it is generally non-refundable except as required under consumer law.

3.6 Failed Payments

• If a subscription renewal payment fails (for example, due to an expired card or insufficient funds), we or Stripe may notify you.
• We may retry the charge.
• If payment is not completed within a reasonable time, we reserve the right to downgrade or suspend your premium access until the issue is resolved.

3.7 Promotions and Pricing Changes

• We may run special promotions or discounts for the Paid tier. Any such offers are subject to their specific terms and may be time-limited.
• We may adjust pricing for the Service or introduce new charges in the future.
• If we change pricing for existing subscribers, we will give advance notice and the new rates will apply from the next billing cycle. If you do not agree to the price changes, you may cancel before the new price takes effect.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

When using RoadScope, you agree to use the Service only for lawful and intended purposes. You must not:

Reverse Engineering

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code or underlying proprietary data structures of the Service, except to the limited extent allowed by law.

Impersonation and Misrepresentation

• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity when using RoadScope.

Malicious or Harmful Use

• Use RoadScope to harass, abuse, or harm others.

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of this Acceptable Use Policy and to suspend or terminate your access if we believe you have breached these rules. Serious violations may also be reported to law enforcement or relevant authorities.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

RoadScope is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not make any express or implied warranties or representations about the Service, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.

Without limiting the above:

• we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure
• we do not guarantee that any defects will be corrected, or that the Service will always be available
• as an MVP, the Service may contain bugs, limitations or other issues

Data accuracy and completeness

• We update camera location data periodically (for example, when new information is released by authorities), but there may be delays or inaccuracies.
• There may be speed camera locations or enforcement activities that are not shown on RoadScope.
• A location shown as a camera corridor might not be actively enforced at a particular time.

You must always obey road rules, posted speed limits, traffic signs, and lawful instructions from authorities, regardless of what RoadScope displays.

Safety notice

• RoadScope is not a navigation app and is not intended for real-time use while driving.
• You must not use RoadScope in a way that distracts you from driving or that breaches any road rules (for example, rules about using mobile phones while driving).
• The information in RoadScope should be used as a planning or awareness tool, primarily before you drive.

Not legal advice or official authority

• RoadScope provides informational visualisation only.
• It is not an official source of traffic enforcement locations, legal advice, or official guidance.
• Authorities may change camera placements or enforcement practices without notice.

You use the Service at your own risk and remain solely responsible for your driving decisions.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

This includes (without limitation):

• fines or penalties you incur for traffic violations
• accidents, injuries, or property damage
• loss of data or corruption of data
• lost profits or business opportunities
• damages arising from third-party services (such as issues caused by Google or Stripe)
• damages arising from acts or omissions of other users or third parties

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the amount (if any) that you paid to us for use of the Service in the preceding 12 months. If you have not paid anything (for example, using the Free tier), our liability is $0.

Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any guarantee, condition, warranty, right or remedy that you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law that cannot be excluded or limited.

Where we are permitted to limit our liability for a breach of a non-excludable guarantee, our liability is limited, at our option, to:

• supplying the services again; or
• paying the cost of having the services supplied again.

Driving decisions

You acknowledge that driving behaviour and compliance with road rules remain your sole responsibility. RoadScope is not liable for:

• any decisions you make while driving
• any speeding infringements, fines or penalties
• any other consequences of your driving, regardless of what RoadScope displays.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RoadScope and its owner/operator from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or any applicable law
• your breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under these Terms
• any allegation that any content you submit (if user submissions become available) infringes or violates the rights of a third party

This indemnity survives termination of your access to the Service.

10. Changes to the Service and Terms

10.1 Service Modifications

We are constantly improving and evolving RoadScope. We may:

• modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, or the Service as a whole, temporarily or permanently
• add, remove, or change features
• change data sources

If we discontinue the Service entirely while you have a paid subscription, we will provide a pro-rata refund for any remaining subscription period.

For modifications or temporary suspensions, we may not always be able to provide advance notice, but we will try to minimise disruption.

10.2 Updates to Terms

We may update or revise these Terms from time to time.

If we make a material change, we will:

• post the updated Terms on our site with a new “Last updated” date; and/or
• provide a notice within the application, and in some cases by email if we have your contact details

Continued use of RoadScope after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of those Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you should stop using the Service and cancel any subscription.

You are responsible for reviewing these Terms periodically.

11. Termination

11.1 By You

• You may stop using RoadScope at any time.
• If you wish to end a paid subscription, you must cancel it (see Section 3.5). After cancellation, your Paid access will continue until the end of the current billing period, then revert to the Free tier.
• You may clear your local data and revoke Google access as described in the Privacy Policy.

11.2 By Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to RoadScope, with or without notice, if:

• you breach these Terms or applicable law; or
• we are required to do so for legal or regulatory reasons; or
• we discontinue the Service as a whole.

If your access is terminated due to a breach of these Terms, you may not be entitled to any refund for purchases, and we may block you from creating a new account or accessing the Service.

11.3 Survival

On termination, any provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive (including but not limited to Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnity, and Governing Law) will remain in effect.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, or with the use of RoadScope, are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia, and the federal laws of Australia where applicable.

You agree that the courts of Victoria (and any courts of appeal from them) have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service, except where local consumer law requires otherwise.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

13. General Provisions

• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding RoadScope and supersede all prior agreements or communications regarding the Service.
• No Waiver: Any failure by us to enforce a provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it later. Any waiver must be in writing.
• Assignment: You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations (for example, in connection with a change of ownership or corporate structure) and will notify users if that occurs.
• No Partnership: Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
• Force Majeure: We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance (other than payment obligations, if any) caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government actions, war, terrorism, labour disputes, power failures, or internet outages.
