Beta Terms and Conditions
1. What this is
These terms govern your participation in the invite-only beta of PaceMate, a New Zealand average-speed pace-awareness app for Android, operated by Lowburn Ventures Limited ("PaceMate", "we", "us"). By installing the beta build or accepting an invitation to the internal testing track, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't join the beta.
2. What PaceMate is — and isn't
PaceMate is a pacing aid. It helps you hold a steady, legal average speed over a known route (a "zone") by comparing elapsed distance and time against the posted limit. PaceMate is explicitly not:
- a speed-camera detector,
- an enforcement-evasion tool, or
- a certified or calibrated speedometer replacement.
You must not use PaceMate, and PaceMate must not be marketed or represented, as a way to detect or evade law-enforcement activity. That is not what it is for, and using it that way is outside the acceptable use of this beta.
3. No guarantee of accuracy
This is a beta. Pace calculations, zone boundaries, and posted-limit data may be wrong, out of date, or missing for a given road. PaceMate is provided as a pacing aid only — you are solely responsible for your own speed and for complying with the law, regardless of what PaceMate shows. Do not rely on PaceMate as your sole source of truth about your actual speed, the applicable speed limit, or your legal compliance. Watch the road, watch the posted signage, and drive to the conditions.
PaceMate may also not detect a zone, alert you, or start tracking every time. In particular, if the app has been closed, PaceMate can alert you as you approach a zone but only tracks your pace once you open it (or tap the alert). Open PaceMate before your route if you want it to track.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use PaceMate to detect, evade, or interfere with law-enforcement activity;
- use PaceMate in a way that encourages or facilitates speeding;
- attempt to reverse-engineer, resell, sublicense, or redistribute the beta build;
- share your invite or account access with anyone not personally invited to the beta; or
- use PaceMate while its use would itself be unsafe or unlawful (for example, in a way that distracts you from driving).
5. Access, availability, and changes during the beta
This is an invite-only beta. We may add, change, remove, or break features at any time without notice, and we may suspend or revoke your access to the beta at any time, for any reason, including if we believe these terms have been breached. The beta is not guaranteed to be available continuously, and we may end the beta program entirely.
6. Feedback
If you send us feedback, bug reports, or suggestions about PaceMate, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that feedback to improve PaceMate in any way, without any obligation to credit or compensate you.
7. No warranty; limitation of liability
PaceMate's beta is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or accuracy. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the beta, including any traffic infraction, fine, accident, or loss arising from reliance on PaceMate's pace or zone data. Nothing in these terms excludes any right you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 that cannot lawfully be excluded; where it can be, our liability is limited to re-supplying the beta service.
8. Termination
You may stop using PaceMate and delete your account at any time. We may terminate or suspend your access to the beta at any time as described in section 5. Sections 3, 4, 6, and 7 survive termination.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
