Matebooks End User License Agreement

Last updated: 30 September 2026

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between the operator of Matebooks ("Matebooks", "we", "us", or "the Licensor") and you, the individual or business installing, accessing, or using the Matebooks software ("you", "your", or "User").

By clicking "I Agree", or by installing, accessing, or using the Software in any way, you accept and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you must not install or use the Software. If you are accepting this Agreement on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.

1. Definitions

  • "Software" means the Matebooks desktop application, in any version, including all features, updates, and documentation provided with it.
  • "Content" means any data you create, upload, import, or generate using the Software, including but not limited to client records, quotes, invoices, payment records, receipts, expense records, business settings, and any figures produced by the BAS Estimator or other calculation features.
  • "Third-Party Services" means any external service the Software connects to or integrates with, including but not limited to Stripe, Google, and Microsoft, as described in Section 8.

2. License Grant

The Software is available for a one-time licence fee of AUD $129, payable when you purchase the Software. There is no subscription and no recurring charge. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and payment of that fee, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software for your own internal business purposes. This license does not permit you to resell, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, or redistribute the Software, or to use it to build a competing product, except to the extent such restriction is not permitted by applicable law.

3. Description of the Software

The Software is a business-management tool intended to help small businesses create quotes and invoices, record and track client payments and receipts, record business expenses, manage client records, back up and restore their own data, and optionally connect to third-party services for email sending and payment collection. The Software also includes a "BAS Estimator" feature, described specifically in Section 7.

The Software is a record-keeping and calculation aid. It is not accounting, bookkeeping, tax agent, legal, or financial advisory software, and using it does not create any professional advisory relationship between you and the Licensor.

4. Your Responsibility for Your Data

You are solely responsible for:

  • the accuracy, completeness, and legality of all Content you enter into the Software, including invoice amounts, tax rates, client information, and expense records;
  • verifying that figures generated by the Software (including invoice totals, GST calculations, and any BAS Estimator output) are correct before relying on them, sending them to a client, or using them for any official, taxation, or financial purpose;
  • maintaining your own backups of your Content. The Software stores your Content locally on your own device and includes a backup/export feature for this purpose, but you are responsible for actually using it and for storing backups securely;
  • complying with all laws applicable to your business, including privacy, record-keeping, and taxation laws in respect of any Content you create, store, or send using the Software.

We are not responsible for any loss, corruption, or unavailability of Content, however caused, including by software error, hardware failure, user error, file deletion, or events outside our control.

5. No Warranty

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any figure, calculation, or output it produces will be accurate or complete.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy conferred on you under the Australian Consumer Law (or any other law) that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified. This Agreement should be read subject to that law, and nothing in Section 5 or Section 6 is intended to exclude a right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • the Licensor's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or your use of the Software, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), under statute, or otherwise, is limited to the total amount you paid for the Software in the 12 months before the claim arose;
  • in no event will the Licensor be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive loss or damage, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, business opportunity, goodwill, or data, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss;
  • this limitation applies regardless of the cause of action, and survives any termination of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Section limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law, including in respect of death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud.

7. BAS Estimator — Specific Disclaimer

The Software includes an optional "BAS Estimator" feature that calculates an estimated GST position for a selected period, based on data you have entered into the Software.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • the BAS Estimator is a general estimation tool only, and its output is not a Business Activity Statement, a tax return, or any form of lodgeable document;
  • it calculates GST only, and does not account for PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments, income tax, GST adjustments, bad debts, partial GST registration, or any other matter that may affect your actual tax position;
  • its accuracy depends entirely on the accuracy and completeness of the data you have entered, including whether you have correctly tagged each expense's GST treatment;
  • it is not a substitute for advice from a registered tax agent or BAS agent, and you must independently verify all figures, and seek advice from a registered tax agent, BAS agent, or accountant, before lodging any statement with the Australian Taxation Office or relying on the estimate for any other purpose;
  • the Licensor is not liable for any underpayment, overpayment, penalty, interest, or other consequence arising from your reliance on the BAS Estimator's output.

8. Third-Party Services

The Software may connect to or integrate with Third-Party Services, including Stripe (for payment collection) and Google or Microsoft (for sending email). Your use of any Third-Party Service is governed by that provider's own terms of service and privacy policy, and creates a direct relationship between you and that provider — not between you and the Licensor.

You are responsible for your own account with each Third-Party Service, including its security and configuration. The Licensor is not responsible for, and has no liability arising from, any act, omission, error, outage, security incident, delay, or fee of any Third-Party Service, including payment processing errors or delays, or the unavailability of email sending.

Money paid to you via a Third-Party Service such as Stripe is paid directly into your own account with that provider. The Licensor never receives, holds, or has access to your funds or your clients' payment details.

9. Data and Privacy

The Software is designed to store your Content locally on your own device. No Content is ever sent to, or stored on, any server operated by the Licensor — Matebooks has no such server, and does not collect analytics, diagnostics, or telemetry from your use of the Software. The Software makes no network connection at all unless and until you choose to connect a Third-Party Service (Stripe, Google, or Microsoft) — from that point, it communicates directly with that provider for the specific purpose you connected it for (for example, submitting a payment amount to Stripe, or sending an email through your own connected Gmail or Outlook account). Content you choose to send via email or store via a Third-Party Service is subject to Section 8 above and to that provider's own terms.

You are responsible for complying with any privacy law applicable to the personal information of your own clients that you store in the Software, including the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) if it applies to your business.

Full detail on what the Software does and does not collect, store, and transmit is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of this Agreement.

10. Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold the Licensor harmless against any claim, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal costs) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your use or misuse of the Software; (c) Content you create, store, or send using the Software; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, including a client or a tax authority.

11. Intellectual Property

The Software, and all intellectual property rights in it (including source code, design, and trademarks), are owned by the Licensor or its licensors. This Agreement grants you only the limited license described in Section 2, and no other rights in the Software.

12. Updates

We may release updates to the Software from time to time. Some updates may be required for continued use of the Software. This Agreement applies to all updates unless a different agreement is provided with a specific update.

13. Termination

This Agreement and your license to use the Software ends automatically if you breach any material term of it. Because the Software is licensed for a single one-time fee rather than a subscription, no future payments stop and no refund is owed on termination for breach, except as required by law. On termination, you must stop using the Software. Sections of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 4 through 11 — continue to apply.

14. Changes to This Agreement

We may update this Agreement from time to time. If we make a material change, we will ask you to accept the updated Agreement before you can continue using the Software. Continuing to use the Software after accepting an update means you agree to the updated terms.

15. General

  • Governing law: This Agreement is governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
  • Severability: If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.
  • Entire agreement: This Agreement (together with any Privacy Policy and order/pricing terms) is the entire agreement between you and us about the Software, and replaces any earlier agreement on the same subject.
  • No waiver: Failing to enforce a term of this Agreement is not a waiver of it.
