Last updated: 19 January 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Formula Corporation Pty Ltd (ABN 36 139 810 361), trading as The Great Race ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of The Great Race Account service located at accounts.thegreatrace.com ("Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

You represent and warrant that you are at least 16 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Description of Service

The Great Race Account is a centralised authentication and subscription management service that provides:

• Single Sign-On (SSO): Secure authentication across The Great Race family of applications, enabling you to access multiple services with a single set of credentials
• Account Management: Tools to manage your profile information, security settings, and connected sessions
• Subscription Management: Processing and management of paid subscriptions for premium content and features across connected applications
• Entitlement Tracking: Management of your access rights and permissions across the connected application ecosystem

The Service acts as an identity provider and does not itself provide content. Content is provided by the individual applications you access using your Account credentials.

3. Account Registration and Security

3.1 Account Creation

To use the Service, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information as requested during registration. You may register using your email address and password, or through supported third-party authentication providers (such as Google).

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• All activities that occur under your account
• Using a strong, unique password that you do not use for other services
• Enabling additional security features such as two-factor authentication where available
• Notifying us immediately via our contact page if you become aware of any unauthorised access to or use of your account

We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these security obligations.

3.3 Account Information

You agree to keep your account information accurate and up to date. We may require you to verify your email address or other information from time to time. Failure to maintain accurate account information may result in your inability to access the Service or connected applications.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

4.1 Subscription Services

Certain features and content within connected applications require a paid subscription. When you purchase a subscription, you agree to pay the applicable fees at the rates displayed at the time of purchase.

Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy. By providing payment information, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to use the payment method provided.

4.3 Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, as applicable) unless you cancel before the renewal date. The renewal charge will be at the then-current subscription rate, which may differ from the rate you originally paid.

4.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Account settings or the Stripe billing portal. Upon cancellation:

• Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period

To request a refund, please contact us with your account details and the reason for your request.

4.6 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription prices at any time. Price changes will not affect your current billing period. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of any price increase before your next renewal date, and you may cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect.
