Terms.

1. Introduction

1.1 These terms apply when you use hvNavigator, Vedi or this website (together, the “Services”). Each is operated by David McLeod (sole trader), trading as Selaras (“I”, “me” and “my”).

1.2 By creating an account, starting a trial, subscribing or otherwise using a Service, you agree to these terms. If you use a Service for a company or other organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organisation.

1.3 My Privacy Policy explains how I handle personal information. It forms part of these terms.

1.4 The Services are for business use. To the maximum extent the law allows, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and other consumer protection law do not apply to your use of them.

2. The Services

2.1 hvNavigator gives heavy-vehicle and higher-mass freight operators permit-aware routing for HPMV, 50MAX and overweight trucks across New Zealand.

2.2 Vedi is an AI tool for building digital interactive exhibits and kiosks.

2.3 I may improve, change or remove features from time to time. Vedi is at an early stage, and its features and behaviour are likely to change.

2.4 hvNavigator uses route and restriction information that road controlling authorities (RCAs) publish and own. The RCA is responsible for the accuracy of its own maps and restrictions. hvNavigator is not an official tool of any RCA or regulator.

3. Eligibility

3.1 You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract.

3.2 You must use the Services for business purposes, not as a consumer.

4. Accounts, security and access

4.1 You must give accurate information when you register and keep it up to date.

4.2 You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in details secure. Tell me promptly if you suspect unauthorised use.

4.3 Accounts and seats are for the named person. Do not share them. If you hold a company subscription, the company decides who may use its seats or vehicles.

5. Subscriptions, fees and payment

5.1 Some features are free, some come with a trial, and others need a paid subscription. Fees, trial lengths and billing periods are set out on the relevant product’s website or in your order.

5.2 Unless stated otherwise, fees exclude GST. Subscriptions are charged in advance, renew automatically for the same period, and are not refundable except where the law requires.

5.3 I may change fees by giving you reasonable notice. A change takes effect at your next renewal.

5.4 If you do not pay on time, I may suspend access until you do.

6. Acceptable use

6.1 You must not:

• use a Service unlawfully or to break anyone’s rights
• try to gain unauthorised access to a Service, other accounts or my systems
• interfere with or overload a Service, or introduce malicious code
• copy, resell, reverse engineer or build a competing product from a Service, except where the law allows
• upload content that is unlawful, infringing or harmful
• use a Service in a way that endangers people or property

6.2 I may suspend access if I reasonably believe you have broken this section.

7. Availability and support

7.1 I aim to keep the Services available, but I do not promise they will always be uninterrupted or error free. I may carry out maintenance, and outages can happen, including those caused by providers I rely on.

7.2 Support is by email or phone during the hours shown on the contact page. I will reply as soon as I reasonably can.

8. Data, privacy and confidentiality

8.1 You keep ownership of the data and content you put into a Service (“Customer Data”).

8.2 You give me a licence to host, process and display Customer Data only as needed to provide and support the Services. I may also use it in aggregated or anonymised form to run analytics and improve the products.

8.3 You are responsible for having the right to put Customer Data into a Service, including any permit information or content that belongs to someone else.

8.4 I keep Customer Data confidential and protect it with reasonable security measures. I may disclose it where the law requires.

8.5 After your account ends, your Customer Data stays available to you for a limited period, which I will confirm on request. After that I may delete it.

9. Intellectual property

9.1 I own the Services, including their software, design and branding, and the names hvNavigator, Vedi and Selaras. These terms give you the right to use the Services, not to own them.

9.2 Route and restriction information from RCAs belongs to those authorities.

9.3 If you give me feedback, I may use it to improve the Services without owing you anything.

10. Disclaimers

10.1 I provide the Services “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent the law allows, I give no warranty that they are error free, complete or fit for a particular purpose.

10.2 hvNavigator is a planning aid. I do not guarantee that a route, permit condition or restriction shown is correct, complete or current. Restrictions and conditions change, and the RCA’s published information is the authority.

10.3 You, and your drivers, are responsible for holding any required permits, for checking routes and restrictions with the relevant RCA, and for complying with the law, including road rules and permit conditions.

10.4 I am not responsible for enforcement action, fines, delays, damage or loss that arises from relying on a route or other information in hvNavigator.

10.5 Drivers must watch for real-world conditions, such as roadworks, closures, weather, signage and the instructions of police and traffic officers. These override anything shown in the app.

10.6 Location and map data can be inaccurate or unavailable, and depends on your device and network.

10.7 Nothing in hvNavigator is legal, engineering or compliance advice.

10.8 Vedi uses AI to help you build exhibits and kiosks. AI output can be wrong or unsuitable. You are responsible for checking and approving everything you publish or show to visitors.

10.9 Vedi is at an early stage. Check that it is suitable for your use before you depend on it for a public exhibit.

11. Limitation of liability

11.1 To the maximum extent the law allows, I am not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, data, business or goodwill, however it arises.

11.2 To the maximum extent the law allows, my total liability to you for all claims relating to a Service is limited to the fees you paid for that Service in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

11.3 Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Indemnity

12.1 You indemnify me against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal costs) that arise from your breach of these terms, your Customer Data, or your use of a Service in breach of the law or of someone else’s rights.

13. Suspension and termination

13.1 You can stop using a Service at any time.

13.2 Either party can end a subscription for convenience by giving 30 days’ written notice. It ends at the end of your current billing period. Fees already paid are not refunded, except where the law requires.

13.3 Either party can end a subscription immediately by written notice if the other commits a material breach and, where it can be fixed, does not fix it within 20 days of being told.

13.4 I may suspend or end access immediately if you break section 6, if continued access creates a security or legal risk, or if I stop offering a Service. If I stop offering a paid Service, I will give you reasonable notice and refund the part of any prepaid fee that covers the time after it ends.

13.5 Sections that by their nature should survive termination will do so, including sections 8 to 12 and 15.

14. Changes to these terms

14.1 I may update these terms. I will change the date at the top and, for a significant change, tell account holders by email or in the product.

14.2 If you keep using a Service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, you can stop using the Service.

14.3 If the business moves into a company, I may transfer these terms to it. I will tell you, and the new company will be named here.

15. Governing law and disputes

15.1 New Zealand law governs these terms.

15.2 The New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Before starting a claim, please contact me so that I can try to settle it with you.

16. General

16.1 These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and me about the Services.

16.2 If part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies.

16.3 If I do not enforce a right straight away, I have not given it up.

16.4 You may not transfer your rights under these terms without my written consent.

16.5 I am not responsible for failure or delay caused by events outside my reasonable control.

16.6 Contact details are in section 17.
