“Writing” includes emails. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these Premium Subscription Terms and Conditions, this includes emails.

Your subscription to RoadHow Premium
Please refer to the App Store Provider Terms for details of when your subscription begins and what type of subscription you have. If you are confused about any of this, please get in touch with us and we can help you.
The ‘RoadHow Courses’
The RoadHow Courses. RoadHow invites drivers to subscribe to RoadHow Premium and undertake online driver training courses over a period of time. The RoadHow Courses last on average approximately 20 minutes and can be taken on our website or using the RoadHow App. The RoadHow Courses usually take the format of a series of questions or video ‘hazard perception’ style quizzes, and are designed to make you, through continued practice and improvement, a better driver. Failed courses can be retaken up to five times. Once subscribed to RoadHow Premium, you can take as many of the courses as you like. Some courses may only be available by using the RoadHow App.
None of our courses are required to be taken in a vehicle and you must not take courses whilst driving in any circumstances.
Your ‘Driver Profile’. As you continue to take the RoadHow Courses, RoadHow Premium will build up a ‘Driver Profile’, which will clearly identify driving skillsets in which you excel and in which you could improve. This will allow you to target RoadHow Courses which are designed to develop those areas in which you may need further improvement. This Driver Profile will consist of the following real-time cumulative condensed scores:
RoadRating - representing your collated scores across all RoadHow Courses taken.
Willingness to Learn - representing your willingness to learn from any mistakes you have made and how often you are prepared to spend time improving your knowledge.
Strengths and Weaknesses - individual scores representing your collated strengths and weaknesses for each RoadHow Course taken.
Manipulation Index - representing your attempts – if any – to try to manipulate the RoadHow Courses to dishonestly improve your Driver Profile (this measure is to identify attempted fraud and cheating).
Insurer partners. If your Insurer is one of our partners, your Insurer may offer you incentives in exchange for insurance benefits. For example, your Insurer may set a target Driver Profile that needs to be passed within a certain timeframe in exchange for an insurance premium or renewal discount, or in exchange for keeping you insured following a recent driving offence.
Insurer incentives. It may be that RoadHow is able to inform you of the incentives that your Insurer is offering, or your Insurer may communicate these to you directly. Either way, any incentive that your Insurer offers you in exchange for undertaking the RoadHow Courses is independent of RoadHow. Therefore, any queries relating to these incentives should be addressed to your Insurer, not RoadHow.
RoadHow’s relationship with your Insurer. Your Insurer being able to offer these incentives relies on RoadHow sharing certain information and data with your Insurer. This means RoadHow sharing information relating to which RoadHow Courses you have passed and when, and of your Driver Profile. RoadHow will not share details of RoadHow Courses you fail unless you fail a particular RoadHow Course five times, in which case RoadHow will inform your Insurer of the latest (or fifth) fail only. Please be aware that multiple repeated failures of RoadHow Courses may therefore have a negative impact on your insurance premium.
The circumstances in which RoadHow will share your personal information with your Insurer can be found in our Privacy Notice – which can be found at www.roadhow.co.uk/legal/privacy-policy.
Your contract of insurance. Your contract of insurance will at all times remain between you and your Insurer. Your insurance may also fluctuate based on your driving and behaviours outside of the RoadHow experence (such as collisions or speeding fines) and you acknowledge that RoadHow has no control over this.
Third party car insurance providers. In addition, as part of the RoadHow service, third party car insurance providers (whether they are one of our insurer partners or not) will be able to offer you better informed quotations on the basis of your Driver Profile. In order for you to benefit from better informed insurance quotations from other car insurance providers, we will share your Driver Profile with these providers if (and only if) they are creating an insurance quotation for your consideration.
The circumstances in which RoadHow will share your personal information with third party car insurance providers can be found in our Privacy Notice – which can be found at www.roadhow.co.uk/legal/privacy-policy.
If your insurer is not a RoadHow insurer partner. If your Insurer is not one of our partners then you will still be able to subscribe to RoadHow Premium in the usual way. However, you may not be able to benefit from any insurer incentives associated with RoadHow. RoadHow will only share your Driver Profile under the circumstances described in paragraph 4.7.
Security. In order to prevent fraudulent use of our services, RoadHow requires access to your laptop/desktop webcam and/or your mobile phone camera (if you are completing RoadHow Courses using the RoadHow App). RoadHow will take images of you whilst you complete RoadHow Courses, using facial recognition software to match these images against the driving licence or passport photo you provided when subscribing to RoadHow Premium. This will enable RoadHow to be sure it is you undertaking the RoadHow Courses. RoadHow will never share these images with any third party, and you will be able to access all images taken from your RoadHow account.
Our rights to make changes to RoadHow Premium (including the Courses)
Minor changes. We may change RoadHow Premium (including the Courses):
to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of RoadHow Premium.
Price and payment
Please be aware that this paragraph 6, and these Premium Subscription Terms and Conditions and the App Store Provider Terms generally, do not apply to your RoadHow Rewards subscription (if you have one). The RoadHow Rewards Terms and Conditions are available on our website.
Insurer funding. You may have agreed with your Insurer, as part of a contract or incentive package your Insurer is offering, that your Insurer will cover the cost of your RoadHow Premium subscription. In these circumstances, no payment will be due from you to RoadHow for the period of funding being offered by your Insurer. Accordingly, except in circumstances where we may owe you compensation, any refund we may owe shall be paid back to your Insurer, rather than to you.
If your Insurer is funding your RoadHow Premium subscription, the paragraphs relating to price and payment in these Premium Subscription Terms and Conditions will not apply to you for the duration of that funding. When your Insurer funding expires, you will either need to:
request further funding from your Insurer; or
begin paying for a RoadHow Premium subscription in accordance with a subscription model of your choice (see paragraph 6.3); or
stop using RoadHow.
Subscription models. Each subscription plan runs in accordance with the subscription models set by the App Store Provider. These can be summarised as follows:
Monthly subscription (payable monthly). This is a pay-monthly subscription, where payment is taken on the same date each month; and
Annual subscription (payable yearly). This is an annual (12-month) subscription, where full payment is taken on the beginning of your subscription.
Renewals. How your subscription to RoadHow Premium renews is detailed in the App Store Provider Terms. Please note that subscription renewals are automatic.
Freemium. We may from time to time, at our discretion, offer subscriptions to you that do not carry a fee, or provide you with the benefit of certain ‘paid for’ subscriptions on a trial basis free of charge (Freemium Subscription). We may withdraw any Freemium Subscription at any time at our discretion. We shall make the duration of any Freemium Subscription to you at the commencement of that Freemium Subscription (Freemium Subscription Period). You may cancel the Freemium Subscription at any time during the Freemium Subscription Period.
Where to find the price for your RoadHow Premium subscription. The price of a RoadHow Premium subscription (which includes any applicable VAT) will be the price indicated on the subscription pages when you go through the sign-up process.
How you must pay. The App Store Provider Terms explain how you must pay for your subscription to RoadHow Premium and what happens if you fail to pay.
What to do if you think a bill is wrong. If you think a bill is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know and we shall investigate the matter.
Providing RoadHow Premium
When we will provide RoadHow Premium. We will make RoadHow Premium available to you for the duration of your subscription (subject to you, us, or your App Store Provider ending the subscription early).
What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can accept your request for a RoadHow Premium subscription and make the RoadHow Courses available to you (for example, driving record and licence details). Usually, all the information we require will be obtained in the subscription process, but if we need any other information we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of our asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may end your subscription (and paragraph 10.2 will apply). We will not be responsible for failure to make RoadHow Premium available to you if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of our asking for it. Any information we obtain from you that is personal data will be held in accordance with our Privacy Notice, which can be found at www.roadhow.co.uk/legal/privacy-policy.
Reasons we may suspend your RoadHow Premium subscription. We may have to suspend your subscription to:
deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
make changes to the RoadHow website, RoadHow App or RoadHow Courses as requested by you or notified by us to you (see paragraph 5).
Your rights if we suspend your RoadHow Premium subscription due to a technical problem. The App Store Provider Terms explain your rights if this happens.
