Terms of Service
- You pay a monthly subscription and get a weekly briefing of newly registered businesses in your area.
- Cancel anytime from your billing page. It stops at the end of the month you've paid for. No contract.
- Not useful in your first month? Ask within 30 days of your first payment and we'll refund it.
- The briefing is for your own business. Please don't resell it, and follow Australia's anti-spam rules when you reach out to people.
1. Who we are
New Business Radar is run by Reuben Jackson Bland, a sole trader based in Queensland, Australia (ABN 98 402 261 806). "We", "us" and "our" mean New Business Radar. "You" means the person or business subscribing. You can contact us at reuben@newbusinessradar.com.au.
2. What you get
Each week we send you a briefing listing businesses recently registered in the Australian Business Register for the postcodes and business types you choose. It includes a ranked shortlist with the reasons behind each pick, the full list for your area, a CSV download, suggested introduction templates and access to your Radar Board.
Where we can, we add details that businesses have published publicly themselves, such as their website, or the email and phone number shown on it or on their public business listing. Many brand-new businesses haven't published any contact details yet. When that's the case, the briefing says so.
3. Where the data comes from, and its limits
Registration data comes from the Australian Business Register bulk extract, published by the Australian Government on data.gov.au under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia licence. The government publishes it weekly, so your briefing reflects the most recent weekly release. It is not same-day data.
We work hard to make every briefing accurate and useful, but we rely on government and public sources we don't control. We can't guarantee that every entry is complete or correct, that every business will need your services, or that you'll win any particular amount of work. Match scores and industry labels are our best automated estimates, not facts about the business.
4. Price and payment
- Founding members pay $29 AUD per month. Your founding rate stays at $29 for as long as your subscription stays active. If you cancel and rejoin later, the price at that time applies.
- We are not currently registered for GST, so no GST is charged.
- Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Your subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel. We never see or store your full card number.
- If a payment fails, Stripe will email you a link to update your card. If it still can't be collected, we may pause your briefings until it's sorted.
5. Cancelling
You can cancel anytime from your billing page, or by emailing us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing month, and you'll keep receiving briefings until then. There are no lock-in contracts or cancellation fees.
6. Refunds
If your first month doesn't put real prospects in front of you, email us within 30 days of your first payment and we'll refund that month in full. After your first month, we don't refund part-months, except where the law requires it.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that can't lawfully be excluded.
7. How you can use the briefing
- The briefing, CSV and Radar Board are for use within your own business. Please don't resell, publish or share them with other businesses.
- You are responsible for how you contact the businesses listed. That includes following the Spam Act 2003 (which covers commercial emails and texts), the Do Not Call Register rules for phone calls, and the Privacy Act 1988 where it applies to you. Our introduction templates are suggestions. Please make sure your outreach is honest and identifies you, and that you respect anyone who asks not to be contacted.
- Please don't use the service to harass anyone, or for anything unlawful.
If these rules are seriously or repeatedly broken, we may end your subscription and refund any unused portion.
8. Liability
To the extent the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect losses, such as lost profits or missed opportunities, arising from the service. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the subscription fees you paid in the three months before the claim. This doesn't limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
9. Changes
We may update these terms as the service grows. If we make a significant change, we'll email you at least 14 days before it takes effect, and you're free to cancel if you don't agree. Changes won't increase the founding rate of an active founding subscription.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
11. Contact
Questions, refunds or anything else: reuben@newbusinessradar.com.au. You'll hear back from a person.
