The fine print

Terms & Privacy

Last updated 1 July 2026 Terms ↓ Privacy ↓
Terms of service
In plain English: we sell forecasts, not guarantees. They're decision support, not financial advice. Your access is personal, watermarked, and not for sharing. Cancel any time; the 6-month term just sets the minimum commitment.
01
The service

A Crude Estimate publishes daily wholesale fuel-price forecasts (terminal gate price) for Australian mainland capitals, plus a scored accuracy record. Operated by Ooshiee Pty Ltd.

02
Decision support, not advice

Forecasts are estimates and can be wrong. They are not financial, investment or trading advice. You decide what to buy; when the market is in shock we say so plainly and tell you to defer to spot discipline.

03
Subscription & billing

Plans are billed monthly in advance, plus GST, on a 6-month minimum term. Prices from $499/mo (Single City). Trials are free for 7 days with no card; access simply lapses at day 7 unless you subscribe.

04
Licence & watermarking

Subscriber editions are licensed to your named email, for use by that subscriber. Every page carries your identity, both a visible watermark and embedded identifiers, so any shared or leaked copy is traceable to the account it came from. Sharing access codes or logins, redistributing or republishing the bulletin, or extracting it in bulk (including automated scraping) is a breach of licence and may end your access without refund.

05
Liability

To the extent permitted by law, our liability for any decision made using the bulletin is limited to the fees you paid in the prior month. Nothing here excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.

06
Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. We may update them; material changes are noted with a new "last updated" date.

Privacy policy
In plain English: we collect only what we need to onboard and email you the bulletin. We don't sell your data. You can ask to see or delete it any time.
What we collect

Your name, company, work email, and optionally phone; plus the role, fuel volume, sites and capital you tell us on the trial form.

How we use it

To set up your access, deliver the bulletin, and occasionally contact you about your subscription. That's it.

What we don't do

We don't sell or rent your data, and we don't run third-party ad trackers on subscriber pages.

Storage & security

Data is held with reputable processors and access is limited to what's needed to run the service.

Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Principles you can ask to access or correct your data, or have it deleted, any time.
