Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Invoicing for Idiots (the "Service"), operated as a sole trader business based in Western Australia, Australia ("we," "us," "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. What the Service is

Invoicing for Idiots is a web application that lets you create, send, and manage invoices and quotes for your own business. It includes features such as PDF generation, email delivery, client management, GST calculation, expense tracking, and related tools.

2. Your account

• You must provide a valid email address to register and are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
• You're responsible for all activity that happens under your account.
• You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Service.
• One account is intended for one business or individual. Sharing a single login across multiple unrelated businesses isn't supported.

3. Subscription and billing

• The Service offers a free tier (subject to usage limits shown in the app) and a paid subscription tier, currently priced at A$9.00 per month.
• Paid subscriptions are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically until cancelled.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card details.
• You can cancel your subscription at any time through the in-app billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you'll retain paid features until then.
• Fees are generally non-refundable, except where required by Australian Consumer Law or at our discretion.
• We may change subscription pricing with reasonable notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of the invoices, quotes, client information, photos, and other content you create or upload using the Service ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited licence to store, process, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of operating the Service for you — including generating PDFs, sending emails on your behalf, and displaying shareable invoice/quote links to your clients.

You're responsible for the accuracy of Your Content, including the accuracy of amounts, GST calculations, and client details. We provide tools to help, but we don't independently verify anything you enter.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Send fraudulent, deceptive, or fake invoices or quotes;
• Send spam or unsolicited bulk communications through the Service's email features;
• Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorised access to the Service or other users' accounts or data;
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that breach this section.

6. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party infrastructure providers to operate, including hosting (Netlify), database and backend services (Supabase), transactional email delivery (Resend), and payment processing (Stripe). Your use of the Service is also subject to the applicable terms of these providers where relevant.

7. Availability and disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We don't guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times. As a small, independently operated service, there's no dedicated 24/7 support team monitoring uptime.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties not expressly stated in these Terms. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent or abusive behaviour, or if required by law. Where reasonably possible, we'll provide notice before termination.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia, Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles.

12. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent to the business contact email listed in your account or on our website.
