Terms of Use
Last updated: 31 October 2026
Agreement to Terms
By downloading, installing or using Suburban Legend ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Description of the App
Suburban Legend is an iPhone app that records which streets you walk and shows how much of a suburb you have covered. It provides:
- A map of the streets around you, drawn from OpenStreetMap data.
- Walk tracking that marks streets as walked using your location.
- A per-suburb progress measure and a record of your walks, stored on your device.
Walk Safely
The App is a record of where you have walked, not a guide to where it is safe to walk.
You acknowledge and agree that:
- You are responsible for your own safety and for obeying road rules, signs and signals.
- A street appearing on the map does not mean it has a footpath, is open to pedestrians, or is safe to walk.
- Do not read the map while crossing roads or in traffic.
- Respect private property and do not enter restricted areas to "complete" a street.
Map Data Accuracy
Street and suburb data comes from OpenStreetMap, a volunteer-built map, and suburb boundaries come from the OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoder. This data may be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and the suburb the App identifies may differ from the official one. Location tracking is also subject to the accuracy of your device's GPS, so streets may occasionally be missed or marked in error. The App is provided for enjoyment and personal motivation, and percentages are not a precise measurement.
Third-Party Services
The App relies on services that we do not operate:
- OpenStreetMap data, the public Overpass API and its mirrors, and the Nominatim geocoder, which are subject to their own usage policies and the Open Database Licence.
- Apple Maps and Apple location services, which are subject to Apple's terms.
These services may be slow, unavailable or change without notice. We are not responsible for their availability, accuracy or policies. See our Privacy Policy for what is sent to them.
Your Data
Your walks and progress are stored only on your device. We do not hold a copy, so we cannot restore them if you delete the App or lose your phone without a backup. Keeping a device backup is your responsibility.
Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, features and branding (excluding third-party map data), is owned by Madhouse Development and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not:
- Copy, modify or distribute the App.
- Reverse engineer or attempt to extract its source code, except where the law permits.
- Use the Suburban Legend name or logo without permission.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or that its map data will be accurate. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Madhouse Development is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any injury, loss or damage arising from your use of the App, your reliance on its map data, or your walking activity.
Changes to the App and These Terms
We may update, change or discontinue the App at any time. We may also revise these Terms; the date at the top shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the revised Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles.
