Draft for Australian legal review before paid launch. Replace all bracketed details, align these terms with the application checkout and privacy settings, and have an Australian lawyer review the complete document.

1. Provider and acceptance

Wind Calculator is provided by [legal entity name], ABN [ABN], of [business address]. By accessing the website, creating an application account or using the software, you agree to these terms. If you use the service for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation.

2. Licence and account security

Subject to these terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use Wind Calculator for your internal project work. You are responsible for accurate account information, keeping credentials confidential and notifying us promptly of suspected unauthorised access. You must not share an individual account beyond any expressly permitted team access.

3. Decision-support scope and user responsibility

Wind Calculator is a decision-support, calculation and reporting tool. It presents available site information and analysis outputs to assist users in organising and confirming assessment inputs. The user controls the final inputs, and the classification is calculated from those confirmed inputs.

Before calculating a classification, you must determine that the proposed building falls within the intended application of the assessment method and that the selected standard and edition are appropriate. You remain responsible for checking current site conditions, project information, regulatory requirements, recipient requirements and whether engineering advice or certification is required.

4. Automated suggestions and third-party data

Automated suggestions are analysis outputs, not final determinations or professional advice. Mapping, imagery, LiDAR, elevation and other third-party datasets may be incomplete, outdated, unavailable or lower resolution in some locations. You must review the displayed source quality, confirm each consequential input and apply appropriate caution to fallback data.

5. Reports and professional status

A report is a structured record of user-confirmed inputs, identified data sources, calculated output and stated limitations. It is not an engineering certificate, RPEQ-certified report, regulatory approval or professional sign-off. No engineering certification or professional sign-off is included in the software subscription. You must not remove or alter report limitations, falsely represent a report as professionally certified, or use a report where the intended recipient requires a service the software does not provide.

6. Fees, renewal and cancellation

Current prices, billing intervals, included features, renewal terms and cancellation controls will be displayed in the separate application before purchase. Stripe or another identified payment provider may process payments. Fees are payable in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise. Any refund or cancellation restriction is subject to rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

7. Beta service

Beta access may be limited, changed, suspended or withdrawn. Beta features, data sources, calculations and reports may contain defects or change without notice. Do not rely on beta access for a project deadline or consequential decision without appropriate independent checks.

8. Permitted and prohibited use

You may use the service only for lawful purposes within its stated scope. You must not interfere with security or availability, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, scrape or overload the service, reverse engineer protected components except where law permits, misuse another person’s data, infringe intellectual-property rights, resell access without written permission or use the service to misrepresent qualifications, certification or regulatory acceptance.

9. Intellectual property

We retain rights in the software, branding, original website content, report templates and underlying technology. You retain rights in project information you lawfully submit and may use generated reports for their intended project purpose subject to these terms. Australian Standards® are protected by copyright and are available through Standards Australia and authorised distributors. The service does not grant a licence to reproduce a standard.

10. Availability, changes and third-party services

We may maintain, update, replace or discontinue features and software versions. Availability is not guaranteed and may be affected by maintenance, outages, internet services, mapping providers, payment providers and other third parties. Third-party services have their own terms and privacy practices. We do not guarantee that every data source will remain available or that every report will be accepted by an authority or recipient.

11. Privacy and data storage

Personal information and project data are handled in accordance with the applicable Privacy Policy. You are responsible for having authority to upload project information and for avoiding unnecessary sensitive information. Data retention, export and deletion settings should be confirmed in the application policy before launch.

12. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law. Where liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee can lawfully be limited, the final limitation must be reviewed for the specific service and customer type before publication.

13. Liability and indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you are responsible for decisions made from confirmed inputs and for obtaining professional review where required. Any exclusions, liability cap, consequential-loss provision and indemnity must be tailored to the provider entity, insurance arrangements, customer type and Australian Consumer Law obligations by a qualified Australian lawyer before these terms are published.

14. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary for security, non-payment, material breach, unlawful use or protection of the service and other users. On termination, the licence ends. Provisions concerning intellectual property, reports, liability, disputes and accrued rights continue where their nature requires.

15. Governing law, changes and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of [State or Territory, Australia], and the parties submit to the courts of that jurisdiction, subject to applicable consumer rights. We may update these terms as the service changes and will identify the effective date. Questions should be sent to [legal contact email].
