Survey Office
Draft — not legal advice and not reviewed by a lawyer. This page sets out the structure and the points that need covering, written from what the software actually does. Have it reviewed by an Australian solicitor before you sell anything, and delete this banner when you do. Stripe will also want terms, a refund policy and contact details on your account.

Terms of sale and use

Last updated: —

1. Who you are dealing with

Survey Office is published by Survey Office (ABN to be inserted), a sole trader in New South Wales, Australia. You can reach us at our email address.

2. What you are buying

A licence to use the Survey Office software for the period you have paid for. You are not buying the software itself, and ownership of it does not pass to you.

A licence covers the number of computers stated on the plan you bought. A single licence may be moved between your own computers by signing in; signing in on one signs out the others.

3. What happens when the licence ends

The software stops opening. Your files are yours and are not affected — drawings, settings and exports stay on your computer and can be opened by any other program that reads those formats.

4. The licence checks in

The software contacts our licence server from time to time to confirm the licence is current. It keeps working without a connection for the offline period stated on your plan. We do not send your drawings or your survey data anywhere.

5. What you may not do

Share your licence or sign-in details outside the computers it covers; resell or sublicense it; or attempt to defeat the licensing.

6. Professional responsibility

Survey Office is a tool. Every result it produces remains the responsibility of the registered surveyor who signs the plan. You are expected to check its output as you would check any other computation, and nothing in it removes any obligation you have under the Surveying and Spatial Information Act 2002, the Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2024, the Surveyor-General's Directions, or the conditions of your registration.

Reference layers drawn from NSW Spatial Services (imagery, the cadastre, road names and survey marks) are shown for context only. They are not survey-accurate and must not be traced from or quoted. A coordinate or height quoted on a plan must come from SCIMS Online.

7. Refunds

[Set your refund policy here. A free trial is offered precisely so that a licence can be tried before it is bought; you still cannot contract out of the consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law.]

8. Liability

[For review. Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law; any limitation here operates only so far as that law allows. A solicitor should word this clause.]

9. Changes

We may change these terms for future purchases. The terms you agreed to when you bought your licence continue to apply to it for its term.

10. Governing law

New South Wales, Australia.
