Terms and Conditions

Traffic Alarm (owned by Geo24 ApS), website and smartphone app disclaims any liability related to traffic safety and speeding fines.

We cannot be held responsible if you receive a speeding ticket while using our app.

Our app contains a lot of information about traffic controls and traffic events around the country, but it is possible that we may not yet have received information on a new speed control before driving past it.

Likewise, we cannot be held liable if the Traffic Act is not complied with, including section 55a on the use of a handheld mobile phone while driving.

Of course, current legislation must always be followed.

The Traffic Alarm app is legal to use, unlike laser detectors which causes fine and confiscation as they are illegal to use.

Traffic Alarm is not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from technical malfunction of hardware or software, or its use, including external services / vendors and content / termination on their part, as well as any changes to the law.

If an external service or supplier changes its content or agreement, Traffic Alarm will, of course, work to find alternative solutions as soon possible, and if it is possible avoid users being bothered by a problem switching.

All data on www.TrafikAlarm.dk and in our smartphone app are as accurate as possible.

We can’t guard 100% against abuse, but with the help of our algorithms and users, “fake speed controls” can very quickly be “unconfirmed” and disappear from the database again so that other users are not warned about these.

You may not knowingly add non-existent events (meaning “report”), nor must reviews be of an advertising nature (for example, if you are reporting a photo van and write an advertisement in the “info” field).

Furthermore, we do not accept reviews relating to liquor control / raids and vehicle checks. These will be removed as soon as possible.

Traffic Alarm offers on occasional membership offers to our users, these are exclusive offers that we have negotiated on the behalf of our users.

Membership offers and other general offers can be sent through our e-mail newsletter, which can always be unsubscribed through a “unsubscribe” link at the bottom or on one’s Profile at www.TrafikAlarm.dk.

It is not allowed to share your login to Traffic Alarm website or app with others.

Only one device can be logged into a Traffic Alarm profile at any given time.

A maximum of 4 units can be associated with a profile per week.

Each week the devices that have not been associated with a profile for 7 days are removed.

Information on www.TrafikAlarm.dk and in our app must not be used for illegal purposes.

It is not allowed to reproduce data and information from www.TrafikAlarm.dk or our app without prior permission from Trafik Alarm.

We would like to point out that the speech that Ole Thestrup continuously contributes in the app should only be seen as entertainment.

Does he encourage, for example to set the speed up, you are not supposed to violate the speed limits, but only as a fun feature.

The use of Traffic Alarm as an app requires that you have a compatible smartphone with a compatible operating system.

The app can only be downloaded from respectively App Store (for iPhone / iPad) and Google Play Store (for Android).

Some features may require certain smartphones or operating systems to work, that may have hardware / software requirements.

We always recommend that you test the app before purchase, using the free trial subscription, to make sure it works well and is compatible with your smartphone.

In addition, an active connection to the internet is required, either wireless network (Wi-Fi) or mobile data (Edge, 3G, 4G or 5G).

Data usage is settled between you and your telecom provider.

Traffic Alarms generally consume very little data, so most subscriptions nowadays, with data included, should be more than enough to meet the need for Traffic Alarm.

A place with poor coverage or slow connectivity can may cause slower updates to map material and traffic information in the app, this is unfortunately beyond our control.

The mileage in the Traffic Alarm app (introduced October 2014) is for entertainment and should not be used as documentation for mileage with employer, customers, tax, etc.

These terms and conditions may change from time to time and your continued use of our website / app constitutes acceptance of any changes.

Violation of our terms & conditions may result in the closure of your user profile and loss of any prepaid subscription.

Contact us if you want to close your profile (prepaid subscription is non-refundable).

By creating a user profile, either on www.TrafikAlarm.dk or through our app, you confirm that you have read and acknowledged that you agree with our terms and conditions, as well as the privacy policy.

Traffic Alarm subscription is automatically renewed.

You can unsubscribe through your Apple or Google account (Read more on their website if you are unsure how to do this).
