BOWSER

Terms of Use

Last updated: 3 July 2026

These Terms govern your use of the BOWSER mobile app. By downloading or using the app, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

1. The app

BOWSER helps you find fuel prices and plan trips in Australia. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for your own non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and the app store's terms.

2. Fuel prices & data are indicative

Fuel prices, station locations, traffic, camera, weather, and forecast information come from third-party and government sources and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Prices change frequently and may differ from what you pay at the pump. Forecasts and "best day to fill" guidance are estimates, not guarantees. Always confirm the actual price and conditions before purchasing or relying on any information in the app. Use the app responsibly and obey all road rules, and do not interact with the app while driving.

3. Savings claims

Any reference to potential savings (e.g. "$200 to $400 a year") is a general, indicative figure based on published Australian averages (ABS vehicle-use data and ACCC petrol price-cycle data), not a promise of the savings you will achieve. Your actual savings depend on your driving, location, vehicle, fuel type, and prices at the time. We do not guarantee any specific saving.

4. BOWSER+ subscription

• What it is. BOWSER+ is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks premium features (full price & cycle analysis, cheapest-fuel-along-route planner, cycle-low alerts, full garage) and removes ads. The core app remains free.
• Free trial. Eligible new subscribers may start with a free trial. If you don't cancel before the trial ends, it automatically converts to a paid subscription at the price shown in the app. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you buy a subscription during the trial.
• Billing & auto-renewal. Payment is charged to your Apple App Store or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Managing & cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your device's account settings (App Store or Google Play). Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund the current period.
• Prices. Current prices are shown in the app before you purchase and may vary by region and over time. We may change subscription prices; changes won't affect a period you've already paid for.
• Refunds. Purchases are handled by the app stores, so refunds are subject to Apple's and Google's policies. We can't directly process refunds for store purchases.

5. Ads

The free version displays advertising. See our Privacy Policy for how advertising data is handled.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the app, including reverse-engineering it (except as permitted by law), scraping or bulk-extracting its data, interfering with its operation, or using it for any unlawful purpose.

7. Intellectual property

The app, its name, branding, and content (excluding third-party data) are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms don't transfer any ownership to you.

8. Your consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other law that cannot be lawfully excluded. Where our liability can be limited, it is limited to re-supplying the app or the cost of doing so.

9. Disclaimers & liability

Except for rights that cannot be excluded (see section 8), the app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from your reliance on fuel prices, forecasts, routes, or other information in the app.

10. Changes & termination

We may update the app and these Terms from time to time; material changes are shown by the "Last updated" date. We may suspend or stop providing the app. You may stop using it at any time by deleting it.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.

12. Apple App Store

If you download BOWSER from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply and, in the event of any conflict, prevail over the rest of these Terms for that copy of the app:

• Between you and us. These Terms are between you and us (the developer) only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. To the extent these Terms provide usage rules for the app that are less restrictive than, or conflict with, the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, the more restrictive or conflicting Apple term applies.
• Scope of licence. The licence granted in section 1 is a non-transferable licence to use the app on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that it may be accessed by other accounts via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for it.
• Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) of the app to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app.
• Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
• Intellectual property. If a third party claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app (for example, your wireless data service agreement).
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
• Developer contact. Any questions, complaints or claims about the app should be directed to us using the contact details in section 13 below.
