Terms of Use
These terms are an agreement between you and Cody Morrison, a sole trader in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, trading as Rhythm Revolt Records (“we”, “us”). They cover the RevTalk app, this website, and anything else we offer under the RevTalk name (together, “RevTalk”). By creating an account or using RevTalk you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use RevTalk.
1. Who can use RevTalk
You must be 18 or older, and legally able to enter this agreement. You may have one account. Do not share your account or sign in as someone else. If you use RevTalk for a club or business, you confirm you can accept these terms for it.
2. Your account
You can sign in with an email address, a phone number, or Sign in with Apple or Google. Give us accurate details and keep your sign-in secure. You are responsible for what happens on your account. Tell us at support@revtalk.app if you think someone else has got in. You can delete your account at any time in the app under Settings.
3. Drive safely and follow the law
RevTalk is built to be voice first, and to be set up before you drive. You must:
- follow all road rules where you are, including the rules about using a phone while driving. In many places, including every Australian state and territory, touching a phone that is not properly mounted, or doing more than a minimal task on a mounted one, is an offence with fines and demerit points;
- set up RevTalk, choose your car and settings, and enter any destination before you start driving, with the vehicle stopped in a safe place;
- keep your phone properly mounted, keep your attention on the road, and never read or tap the screen while the vehicle is moving;
- pull over if something needs your attention.
RevTalk is not an emergency service. In an emergency call 000 (or your local emergency number). You are solely responsible for how you drive. We are not responsible for any fine, demerit point, accident, injury or loss that results from how you use RevTalk while driving, to the fullest extent the law allows.
4. What RevTalk does
RevTalk shows nearby drivers on a map, and connects voice between drivers who are within range, and between members of the same group. It also provides road reports, navigation, saved places and routes, and group route voting. Some limits apply today, for example how many people you can talk to at once, how large a group can be, and how far apart drivers must be to connect. These limits may change as we test and improve RevTalk.
RevTalk depends on your phone, your location signal and your mobile or Wi-Fi connection. We do not promise it will always be available, error free, or uninterrupted, or that voice will always connect or sound good. Maps, street names, routes and travel times come from third parties and can be wrong or out of date. Use your own judgement and obey road signs.
5. Road reports and police alerts
Road reports (such as hazards, crashes, roadworks, stopped vehicles and police) come from other users. They are not checked by us. They may be wrong, late, or missing, and you must not rely on them instead of your own judgement.
The rules about police and enforcement alerts differ by country and region. In some places RevTalk shows police reports only as wide danger zones, and in others it switches them off. We may change, limit or remove any feature in any place at any time to follow local law. You must not use RevTalk to break the law, to avoid lawful enforcement of the law, or to interfere with the work of emergency services or police. RevTalk does not encourage speeding or any dangerous or illegal driving.
Do not report something you have not seen. Repeated false reports may lead to action against your account under section 9.
6. Voice, recording and other people
We do not record your voice conversations. Voice goes directly between phones. You must not record, capture, store or share another person’s voice, or screenshots of their details, without their consent. Laws about recording private conversations are strict, including in Queensland, and you are responsible for following them.
If you use voice commands, your phone’s speech service (Apple’s or Google’s) may process what the microphone hears under its own terms. See our Privacy Policy.
7. Rules for using RevTalk
You must not use RevTalk, including your name, car description, plate, scene tags, group names or voice, to:
- harass, bully, threaten, stalk or track another person, or hate on anyone because of who they are;
- share sexual content, or anything illegal, or that is unsafe, or that promotes street racing, stunts or dangerous driving;
- send spam, run scams, advertise without our permission, or pretend to be someone else;
- collect other users’ information, or find where a person lives or is staying;
- copy, reverse engineer, scrape, attack or overload RevTalk, or use bots or other automated access;
- bypass limits, bans, blocks or safety features, or help someone else do so.
8. Groups and Lead Cars
A group is run by its Lead Car. The Lead Car can send a destination to the group, and the group can vote on the route. Joining a group lets its members see your name, your car, and your position, and talk to you at any distance. Only join groups you trust. If the Lead Car leaves, the lead passes to another member. We may remove or close any group that breaks these terms.
9. Reports, blocking and action on accounts
You can mute, report and block other users in the app. When someone is reported we may review the report, the names involved and the reason. If you break these terms we may warn you, limit features, suspend your account for a time, or end it for good. We may do this without notice when we think safety is at risk. If you think we got it wrong, email support@revtalk.app with your account details and we will look again. We may share information with police or other authorities where the law requires it, or where we reasonably believe it is needed to prevent a serious threat to a person’s life, health or safety.

RevTalk, its design, logo, software and content belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on your own devices under these terms.
You keep ownership of what you provide, such as your name, car details and group names.

11. Third-party services and app stores
RevTalk uses third-party services, for example for maps, directions, sign-in, email and text messages. Their own terms apply to those services. If you download RevTalk from the Apple App Store or Google Play, the store’s terms also apply. Apple and Google are not responsible for RevTalk or for support for it, and they are not parties to this agreement, although Apple may enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary where Apple’s own terms say so.
12. Price and changes to the service
RevTalk may include paid features in the future. If we add them, we will show the price clearly before you pay, and you can say no. Store billing terms will apply to anything bought through an app store. We may change, add or remove features, or stop RevTalk, at any time. If we stop RevTalk, we will give you reasonable notice where we can.
13. Ending your use
You can stop using RevTalk and delete your account in the app at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop the service. When your account is deleted we remove your data as explained in the Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should continue after the end of your use will continue.
14. Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded. Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, including that services will be provided with due care and skill.
15. Limits on what we are responsible for
Subject to section 14, and to the fullest extent the law allows:
- RevTalk is provided “as is” and “as available”, and we give no warranty that it will meet your needs or be free of errors;
- we are not responsible for what other users say or do, for road reports, maps, directions or travel times being wrong, or for fines, demerit points, accidents, injury, damage to vehicles or property, or other loss from the way you drive or the way you use RevTalk;
- we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, or loss of data;
- where the law does not allow us to exclude our liability for a failure to meet a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited, at our choice, to supplying the service again or paying the cost of having it supplied again.
16. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland. Before starting any formal dispute, please contact us at support@revtalk.app so we can try to sort it out.
