Terms of Use

By using Festra (the “Service”) you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

The Service compiles Australian government and other official open data into an accessible liveability map and place profiles. It is an information and data-access tool. Scores are percentile-ranked lenses over open data, presented for general information.

The Service is not relocation, financial, investment, legal, or professional advice, and creates no client/adviser relationship. Underlying data is approximate, aggregated, and often lagged. Always verify anything important against primary sources before making decisions. See the Disclaimer and Methodology.

• Use the Service lawfully and do not attempt to disrupt or attack it.
• Do not misrepresent the data as official, authoritative, or endorsed by the data publishers.
• Do not scrape, crawl, bulk extract, mirror, or redistribute Service content, compiled datasets, report artifacts, or interface output except as expressly permitted by us in writing. The underlying open datasets remain available from their original publishers under their own licence terms and attribution requirements.
• Do not remove attribution, provenance, correction notices, or report watermarks, and do not use automation to bypass rate limits, bot checks, access controls, or paid-report fulfilment controls.

The underlying datasets remain the property of their publishers and are licensed openly - ABS, PTV and most Victorian government data under CC BY 4.0, VCSA recorded offences under CC BY 3.0 AU, and map / point data © OpenStreetMap contributors under ODbL. We do not sell or resell the open data, and we retain attribution. Our own site design, code, and compiled presentation are ours; please do not copy them wholesale.

The map, area profiles, comparisons, and Buyer Location Check are free to use today. Paid convenience is limited to dated receipt/export workflows described before purchase. The underlying open-data facts remain free to inspect.

Paid report artifacts may include visible and embedded account or purchase watermarks so leaked copies can be traced. Share them only with people directly helping with your own purchase decision, such as a conveyancer, planner, inspector, or adviser.

The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent permitted by law. Certain consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law may apply and are not excluded.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the Service or its data. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to re-supplying the Service.

We may update these Terms; the “last updated” date will change. These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Questions: use the in-app Feedback button.
