Responsible use

Last updated: 19 June 2026

Meridian is built for people who love driving — and who respect the road, the law, and everyone else on it. This page sets out the behaviour we do not condone, whether you're navigating solo, riding in a convoy, or using any feature of the app.

It complements our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Breaching it can lead to losing access to Meridian, and serious or illegal conduct may be reported to the relevant authorities.

In one line Meridian helps you drive better — never faster than the law, and never at anyone else's expense. If a feature could be misused to break the law or endanger people, using it that way is a breach of this policy.

01 Safe and legal driving

Meridian exists to make every journey calmer and safer. We do not condone:

Speeding or exceeding any posted limit — for any reason
Reckless, dangerous, or aggressive driving — racing, street racing, "spirited" group runs, tailgating, weaving, or showing off
Distracted driving — holding or handling your phone at the wheel. Mount it and set your route before you move
Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance that impairs you
Following any instruction that would require you to break the law or drive unsafely — Meridian is an aid, never an authority

02 Convoy conduct

Convoy is for people travelling together by choice — not for dominating the road. We do not condone:

Using a convoy to block, obstruct, or intimidate other road users — rolling roadblocks, blocking junctions or roundabouts, or "claiming" lanes
Coordinating racing, speeding, or any law-breaking through a convoy
Bunching up, chasing, or driving too close because the map shows someone just ahead — keep safe distances at all times
Pressuring anyone to keep up, run lights, or take risks to stay with the group

03 Antisocial behaviour

Everyone who uses Meridian represents the community. We do not condone:

Excessive noise, revving, or exhaust antics meant to disturb others
Intimidating, harassing, or endangering pedestrians, cyclists, or other drivers
Organising or joining unauthorised car meets, gatherings, or street "takeovers" through Meridian
Trespassing or driving on private land, closed roads, or restricted areas for "routes" or content

04 Location, privacy, and consent

Live location is powerful, and it can be abused. We do not condone:

Tracking, stalking, or monitoring anyone without their knowledge and consent
Adding people to a convoy who haven't agreed to share their location
Sharing, screenshotting, or republishing someone's live location to harass, dox, or endanger them
Using Meridian to follow or surprise a person against their wishes

05 Safety alerts and hazard data

Speed-camera and hazard alerts exist to make you a calmer, safer driver — not to game the system. We do not condone:

Using camera or hazard alerts to speed between cameras, or to beat average-speed zones
Using any alert to evade law enforcement while breaking the law
Submitting false, misleading, or malicious hazard reports, or tampering with shared safety data

06 Vehicles and the law

You are responsible for the vehicle you drive and the rules where you drive it. We do not condone:

Using Meridian to operate or conceal an uninsured, untaxed, unregistered, or unroadworthy vehicle
Using the app to avoid lawful checks, enforcement, or penalties
Ignoring local driving, licensing, emissions, or vehicle laws wherever you are

07 Respect for other people

Meridian is a shared community. We do not condone:

Harassment, threats, hate speech, or discriminatory behaviour of any kind
Impersonating another person, or using offensive or misleading display names
Spamming, scamming, phishing, or otherwise exploiting other users

08 Respect for the service

To keep Meridian safe and sustainable for everyone, we do not condone:

Reverse-engineering, decompiling, scraping, or tampering with the app or our systems
Circumventing subscriptions, entitlements, paywalls, or other access controls
Commercially exploiting any part of the service without our written permission
Attempting to overload, disrupt, or gain unauthorised access to our infrastructure

09 Reporting and enforcement

If you see behaviour that breaches this policy — on the road, in a convoy, or on the platform — tell us at contact@novusstudio.co.

Depending on the severity, we may issue a warning, suspend features, or permanently remove access to Meridian. Conduct that is illegal or puts people at risk may be reported to the police or other relevant authorities. This policy works alongside our Terms of Service; where conduct also breaches the Terms, the Terms apply in full.
