Terms of Use
These terms are an agreement between you and Drivia Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17385348) at 5 Chilcomb, Burgess Hill, West Sussex RH15 0DJ. They cover your use of Kerb – Driving Test Routes UK, our iPhone app (the “App”), and our website, kerbroutes.co.uk (together, “Kerb”).
By creating an account or using Kerb, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use Kerb. Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights as a consumer.
You must be 17 or over to create an account, which matches the youngest age most people can drive a car on a provisional licence. We recommend that you keep a copy of these terms.

1. What Kerb is
Kerb is an iPhone app for UK learner drivers. It provides practice routes around your chosen driving test centre with spoken, turn-by-turn navigation, and keeps a record of the routes you have driven and any notes you write about them.
Kerb is not affiliated with or endorsed by the DVSA. The DVSA does not publish official test routes. Kerb’s routes are practice routes built around the roads, junctions and roundabouts near each test centre. Your examiner may use different roads, and we do not promise that any route matches your test.
Kerb is a practice aid. It does not replace lessons with a qualified driving instructor, and using it does not mean you will pass your test.
2. Driving safely: your responsibilities
Please read our Safe use page. In short:
- The law comes first. You must hold a valid provisional licence, display L plates, be insured, and be supervised by someone who meets the legal requirements for a supervising driver. You are responsible for driving lawfully and safely at all times.
- Directions are guidance, not instructions. Road signs, road markings, traffic lights, police and the law always take priority over anything Kerb says or shows. Roads change, and a direction can be wrong or out of date. If following a direction would be unsafe or unlawful, do not follow it.
- Do not handle the phone while driving. It is illegal to hold and use a phone while driving in the UK. Set up your route while parked, keep the phone mounted or out of the learner’s reach, and let the supervising driver deal with anything that needs touching.
- Pay attention to the road, not the screen. Kerb is designed to be listened to.
3. Your account
You sign in with Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In. Your account is for you alone. Please do not share it or let anyone else use it, and keep the Apple or Google account you sign in with secure. Tell us straight away at support@kerbroutes.co.uk if you think someone else has used your account.
4. Your test centre and the free route
- You choose one test centre after creating your account. You cannot change it in the App, so please check you have picked the right one. If you need to change it (for example, because you have moved), contact us at support@kerbroutes.co.uk and we will look at your request.
- The free route. Without a subscription, you can practise one route at your centre (route 1), as often as you like.
- With a subscription, you can practise every route we offer at your centre.
- The routes at a centre may change over time. We may add, update or remove routes, for example when roads change.
5. Subscriptions and payment
- Plans. We offer a weekly and a monthly subscription. The price is shown in the App before you buy, in pounds sterling and including VAT.
- Payment through Apple. All purchases are made through Apple’s App Store using your Apple ID. Apple takes the payment; we never see your card details.
- Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each week or month, and Apple charges you for each renewal, until you cancel.
- Cancelling. You can cancel at any time in your iPhone’s Settings: tap your name, then Subscriptions. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before it renews. Your access continues until the end of the period you have paid for.
- Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription. Only Apple can do that, so cancel in Settings first.
- When a subscription ends, Kerb goes back to the free route. Your history, notes and saved routes are kept, and everything unlocks again if you subscribe again.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Price changes. We may change our prices. Apple will tell you before a price change applies to your subscription, and where the law or Apple’s rules require it, you will need to agree to the new price before it applies.
6. Your notes and feedback
Your notes are yours. Notes you write about routes are private to your account; other users cannot see them. You keep ownership of them, and you allow us to store them and show them back to you so that Kerb can work. We do not use your notes for anything else.
Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback about Kerb, we may use them to improve Kerb without paying you or crediting you.
7. What you must not do
Kerb is for your own personal, non-commercial practice. You must not:
- use Kerb in a way that breaks the law, including using your phone while driving
- copy, extract, sell or republish Kerb’s routes, maps or other content, or use them to build a competing product or for any commercial purpose (including teaching or selling routes) without our written permission
- use bots, scrapers or other automated tools to access Kerb or collect data from it
- try to get around any security measure, or unlock routes without paying
- copy, modify, decompile or reverse engineer the App, except where the law allows it
- interfere with, overload or disrupt Kerb or the systems it runs on, or introduce viruses or other harmful code
- impersonate anyone, or use someone else’s account
- misuse our support or contact forms, or harass, abuse or threaten our staff
8. Our content and your licence to use the App
Kerb, including its routes, software, design, text and the Kerb name and logo, belongs to us or our licensors. Maps and navigation are provided by Mapbox, using data © Mapbox and © OpenStreetMap contributors.
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to download and use the App on Apple devices you own or control, for your own practice, in line with these terms and Apple’s Usage Rules. We may end this licence if you seriously break these terms.
9. The App Store
Because you get the App from Apple’s App Store, these terms also include the following:
- These terms are between you and Drivia Ltd, not Apple. Drivia Ltd, not Apple, is responsible for the App and its content.
- Your licence is limited to using the App on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for maintenance and support of the App. Apple has no obligation to provide any.
- If the App fails to meet any warranty that applies, you may tell Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the App, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with any claims you or anyone else has relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.
- If anyone claims that the App or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with that claim.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated by the US government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must also comply with any third-party terms that apply to you when using the App, such as your mobile network’s terms.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
10. Your privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it and your rights. Please read it.
11. Changes to Kerb
We are always improving Kerb, so features, routes and the design will change over time. We will try to keep Kerb available, but it may sometimes be unavailable, for example for maintenance or because of a problem with our providers. If we make a change that significantly reduces what you have paid for, we will tell you, and you can cancel your subscription.
If we ever stop offering Kerb, we will tell you in advance where we can.
12. Ending your account
- You can delete your account at any time: open Kerb, go to Profile and choose Delete account. This permanently removes your account and its data. Remember to cancel your subscription in your iPhone’s Settings too.
- Inactive accounts. If you do not use Kerb for 24 months and do not have an active subscription, we delete your account and its data, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
- We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, or if we must do so by law. Where it is reasonable, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put things right.
13. Our responsibility to you
- What we are responsible for. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen, or if both of us knew it might happen when you started using Kerb.
- What we do not limit. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to limit, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for digital content.
- Your driving. You and your supervising driver are in control of the car. We are not responsible for loss or damage caused by how you drive, by following a direction where it was unsafe or unlawful to do so, or by road conditions, closures or changes to the roads.
- Damage to your device. If faulty digital content that we have supplied damages your device or other digital content you own, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. We are not responsible for damage you could have avoided by following our advice to install a free update, or by meeting the App’s minimum system requirements.
- Private use only. Kerb is for personal practice. We are not responsible for any business losses, such as loss of profit or business opportunity.
- Events outside our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example to reflect changes to Kerb or to the law. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If we make a significant change, we will tell you in the App or on this website before it takes effect. If you do not agree to the change, you can stop using Kerb and cancel your subscription.
15. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. You can bring legal proceedings in the courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland, you can also bring proceedings in Scotland, and if you live in Northern Ireland, you can also bring them in Northern Ireland.
If you have a complaint, please contact us first at support@kerbroutes.co.uk and we will try to resolve it.
16. Other important terms
- These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about Kerb.
- If a court decides that part of these terms is unlawful, the rest will still apply.
- If we do not enforce our rights straight away, we can still enforce them later.
- We may transfer this agreement to another organisation, for example if our business is sold, and we will tell you if we do. Your rights under these terms will not be reduced. You may not transfer your rights to anyone else.
- Apart from Apple (section 9), no one else has any right to enforce these terms.
