<h2 class="font-display text-2xl font-bold text-zinc-900">1. About these terms</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FuelAlert is a trading name of <strong>Ovidiu Ungureanu</strong>, a sole trader based in
|
|
Peterborough, United Kingdom ("we", "us", "our"). These terms form a legally binding
|
|
contract between you and Ovidiu Ungureanu trading as FuelAlert.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By creating an account or using the service, you confirm that you have read, understood
|
|
and accepted these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.</p>

<h2 class="font-display text-2xl font-bold text-zinc-900">2. The service</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FuelAlert provides UK fuel price comparison and forecasting. We aggregate publicly
|
|
available UK fuel price data and surface it through a web app, alerts and forecasts.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We offer a free tier and one or more paid subscription plans. The current list of plans
|
|
and prices is available on our <a class="text-accent underline" href="/#pricing">pricing page</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We may add, remove, or change features over time. Where changes materially reduce the
|
|
paid service, we will give you reasonable notice and, where appropriate, a way to cancel.
|
|

|
|
<ul class="list-disc space-y-1 pl-6">
|
|
<li>You must be at least 18 years old and resident in the United Kingdom to create an account.</li>
|
|
<li>The information you provide must be accurate and kept up to date.</li>
|
|
<li>One account per person. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.</li>
|
|
<li>You are responsible for activity that takes place under your account.</li>
|

<li>We may suspend or close accounts where these terms are seriously or repeatedly breached.</li>

<h2 class="font-display text-2xl font-bold text-zinc-900">4. Subscriptions, billing and payment</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Paid plans are billed in advance, either monthly or annually. The current price for each
|
|
plan is shown on the <a class="text-accent underline" href="/#pricing">pricing page</a> at the time you subscribe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>Auto-renewal.</strong> Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each
|
|
billing period at the then-current price, unless you cancel before the renewal date. By
|
|
subscribing you authorise FuelAlert — through our payment processor Stripe —
|
|
to charge your nominated payment method at each renewal.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>Failed payments.</strong> If a payment fails, we and Stripe will retry the
|
|
payment over the following days. We will email you when this happens. Persistent failure
|
|
will cause your paid features to be suspended; your account itself is not deleted.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>Price changes.</strong> If we change the price of your plan, we will give you at
|
|
least 30 days' notice by email before the new price takes effect on your next renewal.
|
|
You may cancel before the change takes effect.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>VAT.</strong> Prices include UK VAT where applicable.
|
|
<strong>[PLACEHOLDER: verify before launch — FuelAlert is currently below the UK VAT registration threshold and therefore does not charge VAT.]</strong>

<h2 class="font-display text-2xl font-bold text-zinc-900">5. Cancellation and refunds</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellation
|
|
stops the next renewal; you keep access to paid features until the end of the current
|
|
billing period.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
New subscribers have a <strong>14-day right to cancel</strong> under the Consumer
|
|
Contracts Regulations 2013. Important details — including the express-consent
|
|
mechanism that affects this right — are set out in our
|
|

<h2 class="font-display text-2xl font-bold text-zinc-900">7. Accuracy of price data</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fuel prices shown on FuelAlert are sourced from official UK government data feeds
|
|
(including the Pump Watch / Fuel Finder transparency schemes) and refreshed
|
|
periodically. Stations can change prices at any time, and there is usually a delay
|
|
between a forecourt change and the feed update.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We make reasonable efforts to display accurate prices but <strong>we cannot guarantee
|
|
that the price shown will match the price at the pump</strong> when you arrive.
|
|
<strong>Always confirm the price at the pump before fuelling.</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are not liable for any loss arising from inaccurate, delayed, or missing price data,
|
|
including the cost of a wasted journey or any difference between the price shown and the
|
|
price charged.

<h2 class="font-display text-2xl font-bold text-zinc-900">8. Forecasts and predictions</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FuelAlert may show forecasts and recommendations (e.g. "fill up now" or "wait"). These
|
|
are <strong>informational only</strong>, are not financial advice, and should not be
|
|
relied upon as a guarantee of future prices. Past trends do not guarantee future prices.
|
|
We do not warrant the accuracy of any forecast.

|
|
<p>
|
|
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury
|
|
caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability
|
|
that cannot be excluded under UK consumer law. Your statutory rights as a consumer are

You may stop using the service and close your account at any time. We may terminate or

suspend access for serious breach of these terms, with reasonable notice where the
|
|
breach is capable of being put right.
