Terms of Service
Acceptance: By downloading, installing, or using the Augusta Search Windows application, or by using augustasearch.com, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the software or the site.
Service description: Augusta Search is a downloadable Windows application for AI-assisted search and Q&A over documents you add on your computer. We do not operate a web upload/search workspace and we do not provide a hosted rules library or copyrighted construction codes. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.
Your documents: You may only add PDFs and other files that you are authorised to use (for example construction codes, network rules, or metering manuals you have licensed). You retain ownership of those files. You are responsible for publisher licence terms. The software does not grant you any rights in third-party publications.
Not professional advice: Augusta Search is an AI assistance and research tool. It is not a substitute for professional engineering judgment, legal advice, or formal compliance review. Always verify citations against official publications and confirm requirements on site. See also our Disclaimer.
Licence to use the software: We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the application on Windows devices for your internal professional use during a valid trial or paid licence term. You may not reverse-engineer, redistribute, or resell the software except as allowed by law.
Prohibited uses: You may not use the software or site for unlawful purposes, to infringe intellectual property rights, to distribute malware, or to share licence keys as if they were a public product.
Trial, billing, and refunds
Trial: A 180-day trial is offered with the installer so you can evaluate the application. When the trial ends, continued use requires a paid annual licence.
Annual licence: The current price is A$99 per year, as shown on our pricing page and at Stripe checkout. After payment we issue a unique licence key, usually by email. Enter that key in the app to activate the year. Prices may change for future renewals; the amount you pay is the amount shown at checkout.
Licence keys: Keys are issued to the purchaser. A display name on a key is only a label. Do not publish, sell, or circulate a key. We may revoke a key for breach of these Terms or for payment reversal.
Payments: Card payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers. Failed or reversed payments may result in a revoked or inactive key.
Refunds: Annual licence fees already paid are not refunded or pro-rated because you stopped using the app, unless applicable law requires a refund. Contact [email protected] if a payment failed or a key was not received.
Taxes: Prices may be shown exclusive or inclusive of tax as indicated at checkout.
Intellectual property: The Augusta Search software, branding, and site are owned by us or our licensors. Publications you add remain subject to their publishers’ terms.
Limitation of liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the software or site, including decisions made from AI-generated content.
Termination: We may suspend or revoke a licence for breach of these Terms or for operational or legal reasons. You may stop using the software at any time. Uninstalling does not by itself create a refund.
Privacy: How we handle personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
Changes: We may update these Terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. The “Last updated” date on this page will change when we revise the Terms.
