Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the websites, applications, and services operated by AURACO PTY LTD (trading as CTRLSZE), an Australian proprietary limited company, ABN 36 695 730 404. By using our services, you agree to these terms.

About these terms

"We", "us", and "our" refer to AURACO PTY LTD trading as CTRLSZE. "You" refers to the person or organisation accessing our websites or using our products. These terms apply to ctrlsze.studio, our blog, and any product we operate (including HiBud at hibud.ctrlsze.studio). Specific products may have additional terms; where there is a conflict, the product-specific terms take precedence for that product.

Use of our websites

You may browse, read, and share content from our public websites for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not:

• Republish our content (in full or in significant part) without written permission
• Use our services in any way that breaches Australian or applicable local law
• Attempt to disrupt, exploit, or compromise the security of our services
• Use automated tools (scrapers, bots) to harvest content or data from our websites without permission
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when interacting with us

Subscriptions and payments

If you sign up for a paid subscription (for example, premium articles on our blog or a paid HiBud tier), you agree to pay the applicable fees as published. Payments are processed by Stripe; your card details are not stored by us. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel.

You can cancel or pause a subscription at any time from your account settings or by contacting hello@ctrlsze.studio. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then. Refunds are governed by our refund policy.

We may change the price of a subscription with reasonable notice (at least 30 days). Continued use after the new price takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.

Our products

HiBud and any other products we ship are provided to help you in good faith. They may contain bugs, may be updated or discontinued, and may be unavailable from time to time. We do not warrant that any product will meet your specific requirements or be available without interruption.

Where a product is distributed via the Apple App Store, your use of that product is also subject to Apple's end-user license agreement. Apple is not responsible for the product or for support; if you have an issue with a product we publish, contact us directly.

Your content

If you provide us with any content — for example, a message via our contact form, a guest blog post, or feedback on a product — you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that content in connection with our services. You retain ownership of your own content.

You are responsible for ensuring that any content you provide does not infringe the rights of any third party. We may remove content we believe to be unlawful, abusive, or in breach of these terms.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content of our websites and products — including text, graphics, logos, code, design, and trademarks — is owned by AURACO PTY LTD or our licensors. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our services or included content without our written permission.

Some of our writing is published under specific Creative Commons licenses, which we will note clearly on the relevant page. You may use that content in accordance with the stated license.

Disclaimers and warranties

Our services and products are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, we exclude all express and implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer rights or guarantees you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AURACO PTY LTD's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to your use of our services or products is limited to the amount you have paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or AUD $100, whichever is greater.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, or loss of opportunity — even if we have been advised of the possibility.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify AURACO PTY LTD and our personnel from any claim, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal costs) arising out of your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of our services.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to our services at any time, with or without notice, if you breach these terms or use our services in a manner that risks harm to us or to other users. You may stop using our services at any time.

Governing law and dispute resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms or your use of our services will be resolved in the courts of New South Wales, Australia, unless a different jurisdiction is required by applicable consumer law.

Before initiating formal proceedings, we ask that you contact us at hello@ctrlsze.studio to attempt to resolve the matter informally.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. For material changes affecting your rights or obligations, we will notify you by email or via a prominent notice on our websites. Continued use of our services after the change constitutes acceptance.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
