Terms of Use

AUPYNE PTY LTD · ABN 75 696 372 595 · Last updated May 2026

1. About these terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Hayley service and the aupyne.com.au website, operated by AUPYNE PTY LTD (ABN 75 696 372 595) ("AUPYNE", "we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. The service

Hayley is an AI-assisted proofreading tool for Australian forensic engineering and expert liability reports prepared for use in legal proceedings. The service analyses uploaded documents and delivers structured feedback on spelling, grammar, readability, citation formatting, admissibility, and reference completeness.

The service is a tool to assist human review. It is not a substitute for professional judgment, peer review, or legal advice. Nothing produced by the service constitutes legal advice.

3. Eligibility and accounts

The service is intended for use by qualified professionals preparing expert evidence for Australian courts, tribunals, and insurers. By creating an account, you represent that you are using the service in a professional capacity.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at hello@aupyne.com.au if you suspect unauthorised access.

4. Payments and subscriptions

Access to Hayley is available on a pay-as-you-go basis or by way of a recurring monthly subscription. Pricing is displayed in Australian dollars and includes GST where applicable.

Pay-as-you-go users access the Service by purchasing credits in advance. Credits must be purchased before reports can be submitted for review. Each credit entitles the holder to submit one report for review, including up to three (3) revisions of the same report within the same engagement or matter. A new credit is required for each new engagement, matter, or supplementary report. Credits are personal to the purchasing user, are non-transferable, may not be shared between users, and expire twelve (12) months from the date of purchase. Unused credits are non-refundable.

Multi-User subscriptions are priced at $95.00 AUD (inclusive of GST) per author seat per month. Administrator accounts are provided at no additional charge and do not count toward the seat limit. A practice or firm may register more authors within their account than the number of paid author seats; however, the number of unique authors who submit reports for review in any given calendar month may not exceed the number of paid seats. The monthly submission limit resets at the commencement of each calendar month. If the seat limit is reached within a billing month, authors who have not yet submitted a report in that month will be unable to do so until the following calendar month or until additional seats are purchased. Additional seats may be purchased at any time through the member portal or by contacting AUPYNE at hello@aupyne.com.au.

We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. Continued use of the service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

5. Acceptable use

You must not use the service to:

  • Upload content that you do not have the right to upload, including documents subject to third-party confidentiality obligations that would prohibit their transmission to a cloud AI service
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, circumvent, or interfere with the service or its underlying systems
  • Upload malicious files or content designed to compromise the service
  • Use the service in any way that violates applicable law, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and applicable professional conduct rules
  • Misrepresent the AI-generated feedback as your own professional opinion or independent review

6. Confidentiality and your professional obligations

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Hayley is consistent with your professional obligations, including any duties of confidentiality owed to your clients and to the court. In particular:

  • If you are a solicitor or barrister, you should satisfy yourself that transmitting client documents to a cloud AI service is consistent with your professional conduct rules and any applicable client agreement.
  • If you are an expert witness, you should consider whether uploading your draft report to a third-party service is consistent with any confidentiality undertakings given in connection with the proceeding.
  • The redaction framework applied by Hayley (described in our Privacy Policy) substantially reduces the personal information transmitted for analysis, but does not eliminate all such transmission.

AUPYNE provides information about its data handling practices to assist you in making this assessment. We do not provide legal advice about whether your use of the service is consistent with your specific professional obligations.

7. Intellectual property

The Hayley software, website, and associated materials are owned by AUPYNE PTY LTD and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any part of the service without our written consent.

The feedback reports generated by Hayley in response to your uploaded documents are provided to you for your use. We do not claim ownership of those outputs.

You retain ownership of any documents you upload. By uploading a document, you grant us a limited licence to process it for the purpose of providing the service.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

Hayley is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, AUPYNE makes no warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from false positives or false negatives. The feedback produced by the service is best-effort and should be reviewed critically before reliance.

In particular, we do not warrant that:

  • Every issue in a document will be identified
  • Every finding will be accurate in the context of the specific document
  • Admissibility analysis constitutes legal advice or a guarantee of admissibility
  • Flesch–Kincaid scores are precisely computed (they are estimates based on AI analysis)

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by the Australian Consumer Law and other applicable legislation, AUPYNE's liability to you in connection with the service is limited to the amount you paid for the service in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

AUPYNE is not liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance on the service, including loss of profits, loss of data, or professional liability arising from a report that was reviewed using the service.

Nothing in these terms excludes any guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, fail to pay subscription fees, or if we reasonably believe continued access poses a risk to the service or other members. We will give you notice where practicable.

You may close your account at any time by using the account closure function in the member portal under Settings. Upon initiating account closure you will be asked to confirm your intention. Account closure is irreversible. Upon closure: (a) any active subscription will be cancelled at the end of the current billing period, with no further charges after that date; (b) any unused credits will be forfeited and are non-refundable; (c) your feedback reports and submission history will be permanently deleted; and (d) your personal information will be deleted or de-identified in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We will send a confirmation of closure to your registered email address. If you are unable to access the portal, you may request account closure by contacting us at hello@aupyne.com.au.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Any dispute arising from these terms will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified to members by email with at least 14 days' notice before taking effect. Continued use of the service after that period constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
