Terms of use
The short version. Be decent to other climbers and follow the community guidelines. What you post stays yours, and you let us show it in the app. Beta here is other climbers' opinion and climbing is dangerous, so your safety rests on your own judgement. Pro renews through your app store until you cancel it there. Break the rules and we can remove posts or close the account.

Who you are agreeing with
These terms are between you and Mech-Tech Australia Pty Ltd, which runs BetaSpot. Using the app means you agree to them. If you do not, stop using it and delete your account from Edit profile.
Your account
You must be 16 or older. One account per person.
- Keep your sign-in to yourself. What happens on your account is on you.
- Your name, measurements and climbs should be true. Matching beta to people built like you only works if they are.
What you post
Your attempts, photos, videos, comments and questions stay yours. By posting one you give us permission to store it, copy it and show it to other people in BetaSpot, and on the web page for a climb you choose to share. That permission is worldwide and free, and it is only for running the app. It ends when you delete the post or your account, apart from what moderation keeps, which the privacy statement lists.
- Only post what you have the right to post. Anybody else in your video should be happy to be in it.
- We do not sell what you post or use it in advertising.
How to behave
The community guidelines are part of these terms. There is no tolerance here for objectionable content or abusive users.
- Nothing unlawful, hateful, sexual, violent or harassing.
- No spam, no impersonation, and no pretending to be gym staff.
- No scraping, no automated accounts, and no attempts to break into the app, its servers or other people's accounts.
Reports, blocks and moderation
Report anything that breaks these terms, and block anyone you do not want to see. Moderators review every report. They can remove what was posted and suspend or close the account that posted it. Gym staff can also correct the climbs at their own gym.
Climbing is dangerous
Grades, beta and statistics in BetaSpot come from other climbers. They are opinions, not instruction, and none of it is safety advice. Follow your gym's rules, climb within your limits, and use your own judgement. You climb at your own risk.
Pro
Pro is a subscription, sold through the App Store or Google Play at the price shown before you buy.
- It renews automatically at the end of each month or year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before then.
- Cancel or manage it in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel it.
- Payment and refunds are handled by the store you bought it from, under its rules.
- What Pro includes is listed on the Pro page in the app, and may change.
Gyms
Gyms appear in BetaSpot so climbers can log where they climb. Being listed does not mean a gym works with us or endorses the app, unless the app says so.
The app itself
We work to keep BetaSpot running, but it comes as it is. Features may change, pause or stop, and the app may be unavailable at times.
Liability
Nothing in these terms takes away your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded. Beyond those, we are not liable for indirect loss, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
Ending things
You can stop using BetaSpot and delete your account at any time. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.
If these change
When the terms change in a way that matters, the app shows you what changed and asks you to agree before you carry on. If you do not agree, you can delete your account.
The law that applies
These terms are governed by the law of Western Australia, and its courts deal with any dispute.
