Terms of use

The rules for using Sherlock Hooves and Ask Sherlock.

Draft. This page needs a lawyer's review before Sherlock Hooves takes real members.

Who can use the site

You must be 18 or older. By signing in, you confirm that you are.

What we provide

Ask Sherlock is an AI racing analyst. It gives general information and opinions about Australian thoroughbred races, based on the racing data available to it. It is not financial advice or a personal recommendation, and it does not guarantee any result.

We don't take bets. Any bet you place is your own decision and your own responsibility. Prices and fields change, so check them with your bookmaker before you bet.

AI can get things wrong

Answers are written by an AI and can contain mistakes, even though they're based on data. Check anything that matters to you before relying on it.

Membership and billing

Membership costs A$29 a month and renews each month until you cancel. Payments are taken by Stripe, our payments provider. You can cancel any time from your account page, and you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.

Fair use

Each member can ask up to 30 questions a day. Please don't:

share your account or resell what Sherlock gives you
scrape or bulk-export data, or try to rebuild our data set
try to get around Sherlock's rules or the daily limit

We may suspend accounts that do.

Changes

We may update these terms and the service. If a change matters to you, we'll say so on this page.
