Terms of Use
1. About these terms
These terms apply when you use the NearEmpty app, formerly called Refuelr ("NearEmpty", "the app"), and this website. NearEmpty is provided by SQUAREDMC LTD ("we", "us"), a company registered in England and Wales with company number 16175464, whose registered office is at 17 Poole Road, Epsom, KT19 9SQ.
By downloading or using NearEmpty, you agree to these terms. They sit alongside Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"), which also applies to your use of the app. If the two conflict, the Standard EULA wins. Apple isn't responsible for NearEmpty or its content and has no obligation to support it.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.
2. What NearEmpty does
NearEmpty shows fuel prices for petrol stations near you, or near a place you search for, and highlights the cheapest. It also estimates what you could save on a tank compared with the average price in your search area. That saving is an estimate, based on the prices we hold and the tank size you choose.
3. Price information
Prices and station details come from the UK Government's Fuel Finder scheme, where fuel retailers report their own prices. We refresh them every few hours.
- Prices can change at any time, so a price may be out of date, or wrong, by the time you see it or arrive.
- The price on the pump is the price you pay. Always check it before you fill up.
- NearEmpty doesn't hold opening hours or stock levels. A station may be closed or out of a fuel.
- We don't guarantee that the prices, station details or savings shown are accurate or complete, or that you'll save any money. We aren't responsible for the prices retailers charge.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. NearEmpty isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the UK Government or any fuel retailer. Retailer names and logos belong to their owners and are used only to identify stations.
4. Use NearEmpty safely
- Don't use NearEmpty while you're driving. Check prices and choose a station before you set off, or stop somewhere safe and legal first.
- It's illegal to hold and use a phone while driving, including when you're stopped in traffic. Follow the Highway Code and the law on using mobile phones.
- Directions come from Apple Maps. Always follow road signs and the road conditions in front of you.
- Passengers are welcome to use NearEmpty on the move.
5. Your licence to use the app
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use NearEmpty on Apple devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, as allowed by the Standard EULA and Apple's usage rules. You must not:
- copy, scrape or bulk-download data from the app or our servers (the underlying Fuel Finder data is available from the government under the Open Government Licence);
- resell, rent or redistribute the app or its data;
- reverse engineer, decompile or modify the app, except where the law allows;
- interfere with, overload or try to gain unauthorised access to our servers; or
- use NearEmpty for anything unlawful.
NearEmpty, its design and its content (other than third-party data and trade marks) belong to us.
6. Third-party services
NearEmpty relies on services from other organisations, including Apple Maps for the map and directions and the UK Government's Fuel Finder scheme for prices. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them, and we aren't responsible for them.
7. Availability and changes
We may update, change, suspend or withdraw NearEmpty or any feature at any time, for example if the price data stops being available. We'll try to give notice of significant changes, but we don't guarantee that the app will always be available or free of errors.
8. Our liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that can't legally be limited or excluded. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Subject to that:
- NearEmpty is provided free for your personal use, and we aren't liable for any business losses;
- we aren't liable for losses that weren't reasonably foreseeable when you started using NearEmpty; and
- we aren't liable for losses caused by relying on a price, station detail or estimated saving shown in the app, such as a journey to a station whose price had changed or that was closed.
9. Ending these terms
You can stop using NearEmpty at any time by deleting it from your device. We may stop providing NearEmpty to you if you break these terms. Section 8 continues to apply after these terms end.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. We'll update the date at the top of this page, and if a change is significant, we'll also tell you in the app or in the App Store release notes. If you keep using NearEmpty after a change, the updated terms apply.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can hear any dispute. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts, and you keep the protection of the consumer law where you live.
