CampaMate Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions apply to the CampaMate website, CampaMate mobile applications and the services and features provided through them.

Please read these Terms carefully before creating an account, starting a free trial, purchasing a membership or using CampaMate.

By using CampaMate, you agree to these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

1. About CampaMate

CampaMate is a trading name used by Claire Hibbs and Harry Hibbs, trading in partnership as CampaMate.

In these Terms, “CampaMate”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to that partnership.

Contact email: enquiries@campamate.com
Business/service address: CampaMate, The Cabin, 16 Bryants Close, Shillington, Hitchin, SG5 3PH

CampaMate is not currently a limited company and references to CampaMate in these Terms do not imply that it is incorporated.

2. What CampaMate provides

CampaMate is an all-in-one campervan and motorhome travel platform. Depending on your membership and the features currently available, CampaMate may provide:

Some features are free and others require a paid subscription or other payment.

3. Early access

CampaMate is currently being developed and expanded.

During early access, some sections, listings and features may be limited or incomplete and will continue to expand as CampaMate develops towards the full Version 1 (“V1”) platform.

Features may be added, changed, improved, replaced or temporarily unavailable.

We will take reasonable steps to provide a reliable service but cannot guarantee that an early-access service will always operate without interruption or errors.

4. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating a CampaMate account, including a valid email address.

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure.

You must tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

You must not create an account using another person’s identity or deliberately provide false or misleading information.

We may suspend or close an account where we reasonably believe that a user has:

5. Free access

CampaMate may provide certain features without a paid subscription.

Free access may have restrictions.

For example, some facilities, saved routes, planning tools, contact information or community features may only be available to paying members or users participating in an eligible free trial.

We may change the features available to free users as CampaMate develops.

6. 7-day free trial

Eligible new customers may receive a 7-day free trial of CampaMate’s paid membership.

Payment details are collected when the trial begins.

No subscription payment is taken when the free trial starts.

Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically become a paid subscription and the payment method provided at checkout will be charged the price displayed when you signed up.

You may cancel during the free trial.

If you cancel before the trial expires, you will not be charged the subscription fee.

The price that will apply after your free trial and the applicable billing frequency will be displayed before you complete your subscription.

7. Early-access introductory membership

Customers joining under CampaMate’s qualifying early-access introductory offer may receive membership for:

49p per month.

Eligible early supporters will retain the 49p monthly price for three months following the release of CampaMate V1.

Following that introductory period, the membership will move to the applicable V1 subscription price.

The currently intended V1 prices are:

£1.99 per month
or
£16.99 per year

depending on the membership option selected and offered at that time.

The applicable price will be clearly communicated.

If an early-access subscription is cancelled and later restarted after the introductory offer has ended, the then-current public subscription price may apply.

8. Subscriptions and automatic renewal

Paid CampaMate subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled.

Monthly subscriptions normally renew each month.

Annual subscriptions normally renew each year.

Before purchasing a subscription, you will be shown the applicable price and billing frequency.

By completing the subscription process, you authorise the applicable recurring payments until you cancel your subscription.

9. Payments

Subscription payments are processed using third-party payment providers such as Stripe.

Depending on availability, payment methods may include:

CampaMate does not normally receive or store your complete payment-card details.

During private testing, certain payment functions may operate in test mode. Test transactions do not constitute actual payments.

10. Cancelling your CampaMate subscription

You may cancel your CampaMate subscription at any time.

Where available, cancellation can be completed through Manage Billing within your CampaMate account or membership area.

You may also contact: enquiries@campamate.com

Cancellation prevents the next automatic renewal.

Unless applicable consumer law requires otherwise, you will normally continue to have paid access until the end of the subscription period for which you have already paid.

If you cancel during your 7-day free trial before payment becomes due, no subscription payment will be taken.

11. Your UK consumer cancellation rights

Where you enter into a contract with CampaMate online as a UK consumer, you may have statutory cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, including a 14-day cancellation period where applicable.

These statutory rights are separate from CampaMate’s own subscription cancellation arrangements.

Where CampaMate begins providing a service during a statutory cancellation period, we may ask you to expressly request that the service begins immediately.

Where digital content is supplied immediately and this affects a statutory right to cancel, we will obtain any express consent and acknowledgement required by applicable consumer law.

If you exercise a statutory cancellation right, any refund or proportionate payment will be dealt with in accordance with applicable law.

You may tell us that you wish to exercise a statutory cancellation right by emailing: enquiries@campamate.com

Nothing in these Terms removes or restricts a statutory cancellation right that CampaMate is legally required to provide.

12. Refunds

Except where required by law, subscription payments relating to a subscription period that has already begun are normally non-refundable.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

Please contact us if:

Contact: enquiries@campamate.com

We will investigate and provide any refund or other remedy required by applicable consumer law.

13. CampaMate website and apps

A CampaMate membership may provide access to both the CampaMate website and supported CampaMate applications where those applications are available.

The same account may be used across supported CampaMate platforms.

Availability of a CampaMate app on a particular device or app store cannot be guaranteed.

Apps downloaded through third-party app stores may also be subject to the terms of the relevant app-store provider.

CampaMate is a travel-planning and information service.

Information provided through CampaMate may originate from CampaMate, users, businesses, public datasets and third-party data providers.

CampaMate route-planning features are provided as planning aids.

Routes, road conditions, restrictions and access can change.

By submitting content, you confirm that you have the right to provide it.

You grant CampaMate a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display and use the submitted content where reasonably necessary to operate, provide, moderate and promote CampaMate.

20. Campervan and motorhome vehicle sales listings

CampaMate may provide a platform through which users and selected dealerships can advertise campervans and motorhomes for sale.

Vehicle listings are also governed by the separate CampaMate Vehicle Sales Terms & Conditions.

The standard vehicle-listing options are a £14.99 one-off fee per vehicle listing or an active £16.99 annual CampaMate membership, which includes a vehicle listing without an additional listing fee. A monthly CampaMate subscription does not include a free vehicle listing. Monthly paying members must either upgrade to the £16.99 annual membership or pay the £14.99 one-off listing fee.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, CampaMate:

The £14.99 charge is an advertising/listing fee paid to CampaMate and is not a payment towards the purchase price of a vehicle.

Buyers and sellers are responsible for carrying out their own checks before completing a transaction.

21. Business directory, hire and third-party services

CampaMate may display information about third-party businesses including campsites, vehicle-hire businesses, campervan and motorhome services, repairers, converters and other suppliers.

Users should make their own enquiries before entering into a contract with a third-party provider.

Any contract entered into directly between a user and a third-party business is between those parties.

CampaMate may use mapping and location information from third-party providers.

This may include OpenStreetMap data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL).

Directions or navigation may also be provided through or opened in third-party services such as Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Third-party services have their own terms, policies and privacy practices.
