1 The Service
The Service is delivered across the Telstra® GSM and 3G telecommunication network in Australia only - through which the Service can be accessed from time to time as detailed on our website
By agreeing to register for the Service you agree that the Network Operators may provide the location of a locatable mobile phone (3rd Party) to GOFINDER® whenever GOFINDER® receives a request from you and that where the user of that mobile phone has given consent, GOFINDER® may then provide that location to you.
The accuracy of the location delivered will vary, depending on the accuracy available from the network operators. In some urban areas the degree of accuracy can be within 100 metres, whilst in rural areas the accuracy may only be to 15km. Where there is no mobile mast coverage, the location cannot be determined. We can therefore not warrant the accuracy of any location delivered by the Service.
The Service is not in place to offer unauthorised covert location Services. All parties located using the GOFINDER® server will be required to give their consent to passive location of their mobile phone.
GOFINDER® will not knowingly allow its Service to be used to locate unaware 3rd parties. However, we do not review location requests on a case-by-case basis, and we cannot supervise location information resulting in a 3rd party who has suffered an intrusion. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the location requests made, nor the truth or accuracy of the registrations made.
However, we do warrant that where unauthorised locations are requested and upon investigation such allegations of intrusiveness are deemed likely then GOFINDER® reserves the right to remove that 3rd party or Registered User from the Service, and/or prohibit the user from making further location requests. You accept sole responsibility for the legality of your actions under laws applying to you.
Authoristion must be given directly by SMS to obtain their Consent to be Located. GOFINDER® cannot be held liable for any failure by 3rd Parties to provide valid Consent. 3rd Parties will be given the option to opt out of the Service at any time by contacting GOFINDER®. GOFINDER® shall comply with all requests submitted by 3rd Parties to withdraw from the Service and shall notify You of such withdrawal.
