Terms of Service

1. Agreement and who we are

These terms are an agreement between you and Hantis USA, LLC ("we", "us"), the company that runs StreetCheat. They cover the StreetCheat app for Android and iPhone, the notifications and emails it sends, and streetcheat.com.

By creating an account or using StreetCheat, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use StreetCheat.

2. What StreetCheat does

StreetCheat checks routes you save against road-closure information that government agencies publish, about once an hour. When a closure looks like it affects a route at the time you drive it, we send a notification, and an email summary if you turn that on.

StreetCheat is a heads-up service. It does not give turn-by-turn directions, plan detours or tell you that a road is open.

4. Your account

• You must be at least 13 years old to use StreetCheat. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you.
• You can sign up with an email address and password, or with Google or Apple. Give us an email address you can receive mail at, and keep it current.
• Keep your password private. You're responsible for what happens in your account, so tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has used it.
• An account is for one person. Don't create accounts in someone else's name, or several accounts to get around plan limits.

5. Plans and payment

Free plan. StreetCheat is free today: up to 3 routes, each with email alerts to one address. We may set other reasonable limits to keep the service running, such as on the number of routes and email recipients.

First 500 members. The first 500 people to create an account keep the free plan, with the features it has when they joined, free of charge for as long as they keep that account and StreetCheat runs. Your member number in the app shows whether you're one of them. The status belongs to that account: it can't be transferred, and it ends if the account is deleted.

Paid plans. If we add paid plans, we'll show the price and what's included before you buy. You'll buy them through Google Play or the App Store, and their billing, renewal, cancellation and refund rules apply. You cancel in the store's subscription settings. Nothing is charged unless you choose a paid plan.

6. Sending alerts to other people

You can add an email address to receive a route's alerts, for example someone who makes the same drive. By adding one, you confirm that person knows and agrees to get these emails.

Don't add addresses you don't have permission to use, or use this feature to send unwanted email. Anyone can stop these emails by asking at [email protected], and you can remove them in the app at any time. If we get complaints, we may remove an address or turn the feature off for your account.

7. Using StreetCheat fairly

You agree not to:

• Break the law, or use StreetCheat to harass, track or harm anyone.
• Report closures you know are false, or vote to mislead other drivers.
• Copy, scrape or resell StreetCheat's data or alerts, or build a competing service from them.
• Get into accounts or systems you aren't allowed to, probe for weaknesses without our permission, or overload the service.
• Reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it despite this term.
• Get around plan limits or rate limits, for example with extra accounts or automated requests.

Found a security problem? Please tell us at [email protected] instead of testing it on live accounts.

8. Your information and what you add

The privacy policy explains what we collect, who helps us run StreetCheat, and how to delete your account.

You keep ownership of what you add: your routes, addresses, schedules, reports and votes. You give us permission to store and use it to run StreetCheat for you. That covers checking your routes and sending your alerts.

Your reports and votes on closures are combined with other drivers' into a confidence level everyone sees, without your name. When you delete your account, your reports and votes are deleted too, as the privacy policy describes.

9. Other companies' data and services

StreetCheat relies on others to work:

• Closure information comes from government agencies and the services they publish through. We don't control it.
• Driving directions and maps come from Google, with OpenRouteService as a backup. Sign-in can go through Google or Apple.
• The app is delivered through Google Play and the App Store.

When you use these features, those companies' own terms can apply too, for example Google Maps' additional terms. We aren't responsible for their services, and an outage on their side can stop StreetCheat from working.

10. Our app and name

The StreetCheat app, website, name, logo and design belong to Hantis USA, LLC. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, under these terms.

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without owing you anything.

11. No guarantees

To the fullest extent the law allows, StreetCheat is provided "as is" and "as available". We don't promise that closure information or alerts will be accurate, complete or on time, or that StreetCheat will always be available or free of errors. We also make no other warranties, including that it is fit for a particular purpose. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Limits on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Hantis USA, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising from StreetCheat. That includes being late, missing work or an appointment, a detour, fuel costs, or a closure that was missed, wrong or reported late.

Our total liability for any claim about StreetCheat is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and US$50.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited, such as for our fraud or, where the law says so, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

13. If you misuse StreetCheat

If someone makes a claim against us because you broke these terms or the law while using StreetCheat, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, including legal fees. That includes adding someone's email address without permission. This doesn't apply to the extent we caused the problem.

14. Ending your account

You can stop using StreetCheat and delete your account at any time, in the app under Settings → Delete account, or by emailing [email protected]. The privacy policy says what's deleted and when.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts other people or the service at risk, or that we're required to close by law. Unless that would be unsafe or unlawful, we'll tell you why by email first. If we ever shut StreetCheat down, we'll give at least 30 days' notice in the app or by email.

15. Changes

StreetCheat will change over time. We may add, change or remove features, and coverage depends on which agencies keep publishing data. The first-500-members promise in section 5 still applies.

If we change these terms, we'll update the effective date. For changes that matter, we'll tell you in the app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. If you keep using StreetCheat after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, you can delete your account.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Before going to court, please email [email protected] so we can try to sort it out; most problems can be solved that way. Any court case goes to the state or federal courts in Texas, except that either of us may use small-claims court where you live.

If you're a consumer outside the United States, you keep any rights your local law gives you that can't be waived.

17. App Store and Google Play

If you got StreetCheat from Apple's App Store:

• These terms are between you and Hantis USA, LLC, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for StreetCheat, its content, maintenance or support.
• If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies, you can tell Apple, and Apple may refund the price you paid for it, if any. Apple has no other warranty duty for the app.
• Apple isn't responsible for handling claims about the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection, or claims that it infringes someone's intellectual property. We are, as these terms describe.
• You confirm you aren't in a country under a US government embargo or on a US list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

If you got StreetCheat from Google Play, Google Play's terms also apply to your download and to any purchase.

If a part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term right away doesn't mean we've given it up. These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement about StreetCheat.
