Terms of Use

ASwire performs electrical-design calculations using methods based on AS/NZS 3008.1.1, AS/NZS 3000, the National Construction Code and related standards. All outputs are indicative estimates intended to assist a competent person. They are not a certified design, not a compliance certificate, and do not constitute professional engineering advice.

You are solely responsible for independently verifying every result against the current published standards and manufacturer data, and for having the design checked and certified by a qualified, registered electrical engineer (e.g. CPEng) before it is used for design, construction, procurement or any other purpose.

Every document the Service produces — reports, schedules, drawings, spreadsheets and specifications — carries a notice to this effect. You must not remove, obscure or contradict that notice in any copy you issue.

Parts of the Service, in particular the specification generator, draft text using automated systems including third-party large language models. Project details you supply for those features are transmitted to that provider for processing.

Automatically drafted text may be incomplete, inapplicable to your project, or wrong. It is a starting point for a competent person to edit, not deliverable content. You must review every clause before issuing a specification.

The Service applies calculation methods derived from Australian and New Zealand Standards. Those Standards are copyright works of their publishers and are not supplied to you by us as Standards. Where reference data is made available in the Service to allow the calculations to run, it is provided for use within the Service only; you may not extract, redistribute or reproduce it.

You are responsible for holding current, properly licensed copies of every Standard you rely on, and for verifying results against them. Standards are amended, and the Service may not reflect the current edition or any state variation.

You agree to:

• provide accurate inputs and review all results before relying on them;
• ensure a suitably qualified person reviews and certifies any design before it is used;
• use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with applicable laws, codes and standards;
• keep your account credentials secure and not share access outside your organisation;
• hold the appropriate licences for any standards you rely on, and for any data your organisation loads into the Service.

Accounts are provisioned by your organisation’s administrator. Access is scoped to your organisation and, where used, to your team within it. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms or to protect the Service.

You indemnify us against all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service or of any output it produces, including any claim brought by a third party who receives, relies on or builds from an output, except to the extent the claim arises from our own fraud or wilful misconduct.

Outputs are produced for the account holder’s internal use. We owe no duty of care to any person other than the account holder, and accept no liability to any contractor, certifier, client, principal, authority, insurer or other third party who receives or acts on an output, whether or not we knew it might be provided to them.

If you issue an output to a third party, you do so on your own account and remain responsible for its accuracy and for the notices it carries.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including (to the extent permitted by law) merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that calculations are error-free, that reference data reflects the current edition of any Standard, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or secure. Nothing in these Terms excludes guarantees that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue or data, or for any loss arising from reliance on the Service’s outputs without independent verification and certification.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability for all claims is limited, at our option, to re-supplying the Service or to the greater of the fees you paid for the Service in the twelve months before the claim and AU$100.

The Service, its software, design and branding are owned by us and protected by law. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your internal business purposes. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, resell or create derivative works without our written permission. Standards content remains the property of its respective copyright holders — see clause 3.

You retain ownership of the project data you enter. Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Each version is numbered, and when we publish a revision you will be asked to read and accept it the next time you sign in. We keep a record of which version each user accepted and when. Continued use after a revision takes effect constitutes acceptance.

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.
