1. About This Service
Gradient DAPC is a vehicle pricing and driveaway price estimation service provided by Gradient Information Systems Pty. Ltd. ("Gradient", "we", "us", or "our"). This service provides indicative pricing estimates and vehicle specifications based on publicly available information. It is offered for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional advice or a formal quote.
2. Data Sources and Accuracy
The information provided on this site includes technical vehicle data such as specifications and pricing estimates, gathered from a variety of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and third-party sources. While we make reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy of this data, we do not guarantee that it is complete, current, or free from errors. This information is presented for general informational purposes only. Brand names and trademarks are used solely for identification purposes and remain the property of their respective owners.
3. Nature of Estimates
All pricing estimates are indicative only and do not represent a formal quote, offer, or binding agreement. Final driveaway pricing may vary depending on dealer pricing, optional extras, taxes, delivery fees, and local regulations. Users should confirm all pricing directly with a licensed dealer or relevant registration authority.
4. User Responsibilities
Users are responsible for independently verifying all specifications, pricing, and related information before making decisions. We recommend obtaining official quotes or advice from manufacturers, dealers, or relevant authorities before taking action based on the information provided on this site.
5. No Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free or accurate at all times.
6. Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by agreement. Where permitted by law, and subject to the foregoing, our liability in connection with the Service is limited to the resupply of the Service or the payment of the cost of having the Service resupplied.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Gradient excludes all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from or in connection with your use of this website or reliance on the information provided. This includes, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, data, or other intangible losses.

10. Fair Use
You must use the Service in a manner that is reasonable and consistent with ordinary use of the functionality we make available. Without limiting any other provision of these terms, you agree that you will not use the Service in a way that, in Gradient's reasonable opinion, exceeds fair use, including (without limitation) by reference to:
- the number or frequency of calculations or estimates you generate through the Service from time to time; and
- the number of users you invite to participate in an organisation (or similar collaborative arrangement) on the Service,
What constitutes fair use may vary depending on the Usage Factors, your subscription or plan (if any), industry practice, and other circumstances. Gradient reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether your use of the Service is consistent with fair use and to revise or supplement its assessment of fair use from time to time.
If we consider that your use is not consistent with fair use or is likely to impair the Service, security, or other users' experience, we may (without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us under these terms or at law) contact you, require you to adjust your usage, apply technical or contractual limits, suspend or terminate access to the Service (in whole or in part), or take other steps we consider appropriate. We may also publish or communicate indicative usage expectations through the Service, by email, or otherwise from time to time; failure to specify a limit does not mean that unlimited use is permitted.
11. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified on this page or via the Service. Continued use of the Service after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Any disputes arising under these terms are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
