These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and ATAR Maxing ("we", "us", "our") covering your use of the ATAR Maxing mobile application ("App"). By creating an account or using the App you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed these Terms with you and consents to your use of the App, including any purchases. You must be at least 13 years old to use the App.
If you do not agree, do not use the App.
ATAR Maxing is a study-planning and wellbeing tool for VCE students: a study timer, calendar, task manager, score tracking, ATAR estimation, and social features.
We are an independent developer team. We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC), ACARA, or any school, university, or government body.
This is the important one, so we'll say it plainly: ATAR predictions, study-score estimates, "scores needed" calculations and study plans generated by the App are ESTIMATES based on the numbers you enter and publicly available historical scaling data. They are provided for motivation and planning only.
They are not academic advice, not a promise, and not an official prediction. Actual ATARs and study scores are determined solely by VCAA and VTAC and depend on many factors the App cannot know. Do not make enrolment, subject-selection or other significant decisions based only on the App's numbers. Using the App does not guarantee any improvement in results.
You need an account for social features, cloud backup and subscriptions. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your login details secure — you are responsible for activity on your account.
One account per person, and an account may be actively signed in on one device at a time: signing in on a new device signs the previous one out. Don't share your account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms.
Usernames are unique and visible to other users (friends lists and leaderboards). Choose one that isn't offensive, impersonating someone else, or misleading. We filter obvious profanity and reserve the right to rename or remove any username or account that we consider (at our discretion) offensive, abusive or deceptive.
When using social features you agree not to harass, bully, or abuse other users. We can remove any content and suspend any account involved in that behaviour.
Premium features ("Locked In") are sold as an auto-renewing subscription through Apple's App Store: A$8.99 per month or A$64.99 per year (prices in other regions are set by Apple; the exact price is always shown before you buy).
The monthly plan may include a one-week free trial for new subscribers. Trials convert to a paid subscription automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends — cancelling keeps your access for the remainder of the trial.
Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Billing, renewal, cancellation and refunds are handled entirely by Apple: manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or via the Manage Subscription screen in the App. Deleting the App or your account does NOT cancel a subscription.
Refunds are subject to Apple's refund policies (requested through Apple, not us), and nothing in these Terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Each account gets a referral code. When a new user redeems your code, both accounts receive one week of complimentary Locked In access. Codes can be redeemed by a maximum of 2 accounts, and each account may redeem only one code, ever.
Referral rewards have no cash value, can't be transferred or stacked indefinitely, and we may modify or withdraw the referral program at any time. We may revoke rewards obtained through fake accounts, self-referral or other abuse.
The core of the App (study timer, streaks, tasks, calendar, daily check-in, predicted ATAR, the Forecast calculator, and social features) is free. We intend to keep it that way, but we may change which features are free and which are premium over time. Changes won't remove access you've already paid for during a paid period.
You own the information you put into the App (scores, tasks, journal entries, photos). You grant us a limited licence to store and process it purely to operate the App — syncing it to your account, showing your points on leaderboards you participate in, and so on. See the Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.
You can delete your account (Settings → Delete account) at any time, which permanently removes your account data from our systems.
You agree not to: attempt to access other users' data; probe, disrupt or overload our systems; reverse-engineer, copy or resell the App; use automation or exploits to manipulate points, leaderboards, referral rewards or achievements; or use the App for anything unlawful.
Points and leaderboards exist for motivation — if we find manipulated numbers we may reset them or suspend the account.
The App, its design, branding, code and content (excluding your data) belong to ATAR Maxing. You get a personal, non-transferable licence to use the App on your Apple devices in line with these Terms and Apple's standard licence terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works from the App.
The App relies on third-party services to function: Apple (App Store, payments, notifications), Supabase (accounts and data storage) and RevenueCat (subscription management). Their processing of your data is described in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for outages of third-party services, though we'll always do our best to keep the App working.
The App is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential loss — including academic outcomes, lost data caused by factors outside our control, or decisions made in reliance on the App's estimates.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where our liability can be limited, it is limited (at our option) to re-supplying the service or refunding the amount you paid us in the previous 12 months.
You can stop using the App or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms, and may modify or discontinue features (or the App itself) — if the App were ever discontinued, active paid periods would run their course or be handled per Apple's policies.
We may update these Terms as the App evolves. Material changes will be flagged in the App, and the "last updated" date always tells you the current version. Continuing to use the App after changes means you accept them.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and any disputes belong to the courts of Victoria.
