Terms of Use

These terms are an agreement between you and [ENTITY NAME] (ABN [ABN]) ("we", "us"), the operator of Standard Accounting (the "service"). By signing in to or using the service you agree to them. If your firm has entered into a licence agreement or order form with us (a "firm agreement"), the firm agreement governs commercial terms — fees, seats, and usage allowances — and prevails over these terms to the extent of any inconsistency.

1. Who may use the service

The service is a professional tool for use in a business capacity. You may use it only as an authorised user — invited by us or under your firm's agreement — and you confirm you are acquiring the service for business purposes, not personal, domestic, or household use. Your firm is responsible for who it invites and for its users' compliance with these terms.

2. Early access

The service is provided during early access on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Features may change, and availability is not guaranteed. We onboard users individually and may adjust or withdraw access. If your firm has a firm agreement, access continues on the terms of that agreement.

3. A research tool, not professional advice

Standard Accounting is a research and drafting aid. It surfaces standards and produces cited draft analysis to accelerate your work — it is not a substitute for professional judgment and does not constitute accounting, audit, legal, or other professional advice, and no professional–client relationship is created by your use of it. Outputs are generated by AI and may contain errors or omissions. Every output visibly separates what the standard says from the judgment we apply. You remain responsible for reviewing, verifying, and signing off on any position. Verify citations and conclusions against the source standards before relying on them.

4. Your account

Your sign-in credentials are personal to you. Do not share your account, and tell us promptly if you believe it has been compromised. We may suspend an account where we reasonably believe it poses a security risk or is being used in breach of these terms.

5. Your content

You retain all rights in the content you submit (fact patterns, documents). You grant us a limited licence to process that content solely to provide the service to you. You warrant that you have the right — and any consents your own privacy and confidentiality obligations require — to submit the content you upload, including any personal information about third parties it contains, and that you will not submit material you are not permitted to disclose. Data handling is described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Drafts we generate

As between you and us, you (or your firm) own the draft memos and analysis the service generates for you, and may use them in your practice — subject to any third-party rights in standard text quoted within them (see clause 9), and always subject to clause 3: a generated draft is an input to your professional work, not a finished professional opinion.

7. Acceptable use

• Do not use the service unlawfully, or to infringe others' rights.
• Do not attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorised access to the service, except to the extent a law permits that notwithstanding this restriction.
• Do not resell or provide the service to third parties without our agreement.

8. Fees

During early access, use is free unless your firm has a firm agreement. Where a firm agreement is in place, fees, included usage, seat limits, and overage are as set out in it. Unless stated otherwise, prices are in Australian dollars and exclusive of GST, which will be added where applicable.

9. Intellectual property

The service, its software, and its underlying materials are owned by us or our licensors. No rights are granted except as needed to use the service.

We claim no ownership of accounting-standard content. Australian Accounting Standards are made by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and are © Commonwealth of Australia; they incorporate material that is the copyright of the IFRS Foundation. The service references and applies the standards in its analysis, and where it quotes standard text the AASB and the IFRS Foundation are acknowledged as its source and owners. The standards are available in full from the AASB at aasb.gov.au.

10. Warranties & liability

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Where our liability for breach of a consumer guarantee can lawfully be limited, it is limited, at our option, to resupplying the services or paying the cost of resupply.

Otherwise, and to the extent permitted by law: the service is provided without warranties of any kind; we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, or loss or corruption of data; we are not liable for loss arising from reliance on the service's outputs contrary to clause 3; and our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these terms is capped at the greater of (a) the fees paid by you or your firm for the service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) AUD $100.

11. Indemnity

You indemnify us against loss arising from third-party claims to the extent caused by content you submitted in breach of clause 5.

12. Suspension & termination

You may stop using the service, and delete your content, at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for material breach of these terms, or on reasonable notice during early access. If your firm has a firm agreement, termination of firm access is governed by that agreement. Following termination we will make your content available for export for 30 days, after which it is deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Clauses 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 14 survive termination.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves. We will notify active users of material changes, and your continued use after notice is acceptance. Material changes do not apply to a firm agreement mid-term without the firm's agreement.

14. General

These terms (with the Privacy Policy and, where applicable, a firm agreement) are the entire agreement for your use of the service. If part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them to a related body corporate or a successor of the business. Notices may be given by email to your account address. A failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and courts competent to hear appeals from them.
