Welcome to Hilllz!
To make it easier for you to understand the terms on which we provide our services, we've tried to keep these terms of use (Terms) as simple as possible by using plain English.
When we talk about "Hilllz", "we," "our," or "us" in these Terms, we are referring to Cumulus Labs Pty Ltd as trustee for Wolstenholme Family Trust t/a Hilllz (ABN 54 815 423 293).
When we talk about the "Platform" in these Terms, we are referring to our mobile Applications available on the Apple iOS Store and the Google Play Store, our website available at hilllz.com and any associated services we offer.
Our Platform offers access to a real-time snow conditions and a "Hilllz Score" feature which is a general and guidance only recommendation derived from snowfall, weather, lift status, and resort operations data to help skiers and snowboarders decide where and when to ride (Hilllz Score).
If you access or download our mobile application from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you agree to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement and any Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service or the Android, Google Inc. Terms and Conditions including the License Agreement and Terms of Application.
We may use Mapbox mapping services, including Mapbox API(s). Your use of Mapbox is subject to the Mapbox Additional Terms of Service.
We've also used a few other capitalised words and phrases as shorthand to refer to recurring concepts. Each of these are defined in bold and in brackets after the concepts are first mentioned.
PART A -- ALL USERS
1. INTRODUCTION
These Terms set out the terms and conditions that apply when you use the Platform, and you agree to be bound by these Terms by signing up for an Account with us, or by clicking "accept" when you create an Account with us.
Please have a careful read through these Terms before using the Platform. If you don't agree to these Terms, please don't use the Platform.
We may modify our Terms from time to time. If we do, we will email you or otherwise notify you via the Platform. If you continue to use the Platform after we modify our Terms, you'll be taken to have agreed to the Terms as modified.
2. ELIGIBILITY
2.1. CHILDREN'S USE
The Platform is accessible by individuals who are 13 years old and older. Because the age at which a person may lawfully consent to the use of digital services varies between jurisdictions, a child must not create an account or access full App functionality unless a parent or legal guardian has provided consent where required by applicable law.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and you permit a child to use the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
-
you have the legal authority to provide consent on behalf of the child in your jurisdiction; and
-
you agree to be bound by these Terms on the child's behalf and accept responsibility for the child's use of the Platform.
Where a user does not have legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in their jurisdiction, these Terms form a binding agreement between us and the user's parent or legal guardian who provides consent for the user's access to the Platform.
A parent or legal guardian may withdraw their consent to a child's use of the Platform at any time. If consent is withdrawn, the child's access to the Platform may be suspended or terminated. The handling of personal information following withdrawal of consent is governed by our Privacy Policy.
2.2. ADULTS
If you are using the Platform on your own behalf, you represent that you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement.
We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe these eligibility requirements are not met.

-
is derived from third-party weather models and resort-reported data that can be inaccurate, delayed, or unavailable;
-
we are not providing professional weather advice, or holding out to be professionals;
