ARCHI UPSKILL

Terms of Use

Version 2 · Effective 1 June 2026 · Policy version 2026-06-01

Introduction

These Terms of Use are a legally binding agreement between Meghana Reddy Bodireddigari (ABN 37757028178), trading as ARCHI UPSKILL, contactable via email at admin@archiupskill.com.au, and you.

“You” (or “your”) refers to either: (a) an individual learner accessing the Services (a “Learner”); or (b) the architectural firm, company, practice or other legal entity that purchases access to the Services for its employees, graduates or contractors (a “Firm”). Where access is purchased by a Firm, this Agreement binds both the Firm and each individual Learner who accesses the Services under that purchase, and the Firm is responsible for ensuring its Learners comply with this Agreement. If you accept these Terms on behalf of a Firm, you warrant that you have authority to bind that Firm to this Agreement.

These Terms apply to your access to and use of:

  • the ARCHI UPSKILL online courses, learning modules and educational content;
  • the ARCHI UPSKILL technical onboarding services;
  • the ARCHI UPSKILL website located at www.archiupskill.com;
  • any learner account, portal or workspace; and
  • any related tools, calculators, materials or services we provide

(collectively, the Services).

These Terms take effect on the date you first purchase, access or use any part of the Services (Effective Date). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

1. Definitions

Agreement means these ARCHI UPSKILL Terms of Use.

Access Period means the period of twelve (12) months commencing on the date of payment for the relevant Course, unless a different period is stated at the time of purchase.

Account means the personal learner account through which you access the Services.

Course means any online course, program, module, learning pathway or instructional material made available through ARCHI UPSKILL.

Course Content means all materials forming part of or made available through a Course, including videos, schedules, checklists, templates, written materials, diagrams, references, assessments and documentation.

Fee means the amount payable to access and use a Course or other Service.

Firm means an architectural firm, company, practice or other legal entity that purchases access to the Services for its employees, graduates or contractors.

Learner means an individual who accesses the Services, whether in their own right or under a purchase made by a Firm.

User Content means any content you create, upload, save or annotate through the Services, including notes, saved items, collections and submissions.

2. Australian Consumer Law

You have rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. Nothing in this Agreement removes, excludes or limits those rights. Where any part of this Agreement is inconsistent with the Australian Consumer Law, the Australian Consumer Law prevails to the extent of the inconsistency, and the relevant part of this Agreement is read down or severed accordingly.

3. Access and Licence

3.1 Licence grant. In consideration of payment of the applicable Fee (where applicable), we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right, during the Access Period, to access and use the relevant Course on your personal devices, solely for your own personal learning and internal business purposes.

3.2 Access Period. Unless otherwise stated at purchase, your access to a Course is for the Access Period (12 months from the date of payment). At the end of the Access Period, your access to that Course will end (see clause 8.5).

3.3 Single user. Each licence is personal to one Learner. The Services and your Account must not be shared with, or used simultaneously by, any other person, and you must not allow any other person to access the Services using your Account credentials.

3.4 Availability. We will use reasonable efforts to make the Services available, but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. Scheduled maintenance, updates and events beyond our reasonable control may affect availability.

4. Restrictions and Acceptable Use

Your use of the Services is subject to the restrictions below. Any breach of this clause is a material breach of this Agreement and may lead to suspension or termination of your access and the commencement of legal proceedings, in serious cases without prior notice.

You must not:

  • (a) copy, reproduce, record, screen-capture, download (except where a download function is expressly provided), modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works from any Course Content;
  • (b) distribute, publish, broadcast, share, sell, rent, lease, sublicense or otherwise make any Course Content available to any third party;
  • (c) use any Course Content, in whole or in part, to develop, deliver, market or assist in the development or delivery of any course, training, instruction or product that is the same as, substantially similar to, or competing with the Services;
  • (d) use the Services to provide training, education, course delivery or instruction to any third party for a fee or other commercial benefit, including by any educational institution, unless expressly authorised by us in writing;
  • (e) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any software forming part of the Services;
  • (f) remove, obscure or alter any branding, trademark, copyright or proprietary notice;
  • (g) attempt to gain unauthorised access to, or bypass, avoid or circumvent any technical, contractual or security measure of the Services, whether or not such access is technically possible; or
  • (h) Use the Services in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, deceptive, defamatory or abusive, that infringes the rights of any third party, or that interferes with or compromises the operation, security or integrity of the Services.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Our property. The Services and all Course Content contain information, materials and images that are proprietary to ARCHI UPSKILL (or its licensors) and are protected by Australian and international intellectual property rights, including copyright. All such rights remain with ARCHI UPSKILL or its licensors. No rights are granted to you except the limited licence expressly set out in this Agreement.

5.2 Notice. You are on notice that unauthorised distribution, reproduction, or the development of a similar or competing service, or assisting any other person to do so, may result in suspension or termination of your access and the commencement of legal proceedings against you.

5.3 Your content. You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, store and use your User Content solely to provide the Services to you. You are solely responsible for your User Content, and we do not review, endorse, verify or approve it.

6. Educational Purpose — Not Professional Advice

6.1 Information and education only. The Services and all Course Content are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. They are intended to help you learn and to point you to relevant sources; they are not a substitute for the current legislation, codes, standards or instruments themselves, and they are not a substitute for professional advice.

6.2 Not professional advice. The Services do not provide building, design, engineering, architectural, planning, legal, regulatory or other professional advice, and do not take account of your specific circumstances or any specific project. You must obtain your own appropriate professional advice before acting in relation to any matter covered by a Course.

6.3 No guarantee of compliance or outcomes. We do not guarantee that following any Course Content will result in compliance with any law, regulation, code, standard, guideline or council requirement, or that it will result in any particular approval, certification, assessment result, qualification, employment or other outcome. Compliance with applicable requirements remains your sole responsibility.

6.4 References to compliance requirements. Where Course Content references compliance requirements, including the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, planning instruments or local council requirements, those references are general, may be summarised or simplified, and may not reflect the most current requirements. Such requirements change over time and vary between States, Territories and local government areas. You are responsible for verifying the current requirements applicable to your own jurisdiction and project from the relevant authoritative sources before relying on them.

6.5 No reliance. You acknowledge that any reliance on the Course Content is at your own risk and responsibility, and that you do not rely on the Services as a substitute for professional advice or for the current applicable requirements.

6.6 Automated and AI-assisted features. Where the Services include features that use artificial intelligence or automated systems to generate, summarise, search or suggest content, any output is provided for convenience only and may be incomplete, inaccurate or unsuitable for your circumstances. You remain solely responsible for independently reviewing and verifying any such output before relying on it.

7. Accuracy and Currency

We take reasonable care to make the Course Content accurate and current at the time it is prepared. However, other than as expressly set out in this Agreement or as required by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), we make no representation, warranty, indemnity or guarantee as to the Course Content, including as to its accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for any particular purpose, or non-infringement.

8. Account, Fees and Payment

8.1 Account security. You must keep your Account credentials secure and notify us immediately of any unauthorised access. We will take reasonable steps to protect the security of the Services.

8.2 Fees. Fees for each Course are as stated at the time of purchase and, unless expressly stated otherwise, are inclusive of GST where GST applies.

8.3 Access on payment. Access to a Course is granted on receipt of payment and continues for the Access Period.

8.4 Refunds. Except where required by the Australian Consumer Law, Fees are non-refundable, including for any unused portion of an Access Period. Nothing in this clause affects your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

8.5 Expiry. Access to a Course will automatically deactivate at the conclusion of the Access Period. We do not automatically renew access or process recurring charges. Continued access requires a separate purchase of a new Access Period at our then-current Fees.

9. Liability

9.1 Consumer guarantees. Where you acquire the Services as a “consumer” under the Australian Consumer Law, and to the extent permitted by section 64A of the Australian Consumer Law (which applies where the Services are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption), our liability for failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited, at our option, to:

  • (a) resupplying the relevant Services; or
  • (b) paying the cost of having the relevant Services resupplied,

Except where the failure constitutes a major failure or where it would not be fair or reasonable for us to rely on this limitation.

9.2 Exclusion of certain loss. Subject to clause 9.1 and to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any:

  • indirect loss;
  • consequential loss;
  • loss of business;
  • loss of profits; or
  • loss that is not reasonably foreseeable,

Whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence, misrepresentation or breach of statutory duty) or otherwise, arising from or in connection with your use of, or inability to access or use, the Services, except to the extent such loss is caused by our breach of the Australian Consumer Law (including a failure to exercise due care and skill, or misleading or deceptive conduct).

9.3 Aggregate liability cap. Subject to clauses 9.1 and 9.2 and to the extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you under or in connection with this Agreement (whether in contract, tort including negligence, statute or otherwise) is limited to the total Fees paid by you to us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or, where no Fees have been paid, to AUD $100. This cap applies to all claims in aggregate, not per claim. Nothing in this clause limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the Australian Consumer Law.

9.4 Your responsibility and indemnity. You are responsible for your use of the Services. Subject to this clause 9 and to the extent permitted by law, you indemnify us against any loss, damage or liability reasonably incurred by us arising from:

  • (a) your breach of this Agreement;
  • (b) your unlawful or improper use of the Services; or
  • (c) any reliance by you or any third party on Course Content, outputs or User Content obtained through the Services,

except to the extent such loss is caused or contributed to by our breach of the Australian Consumer Law, or our negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct. Nothing in this clause requires you to indemnify us for any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

10. Term and Termination

10.1 This Agreement applies for so long as you access or use the Services and, in respect of any Course, for the Access Period.

10.2 We may suspend or terminate your access immediately for a material breach of this Agreement (including any breach of clause 4 or 5), or where required by law.

10.3 On termination or expiry, your right to access the Services ends, and you must cease all use of the Course Content. Clauses 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13 and any other clause intended by its nature to survive, continue in effect after termination.

11. Amendments

11.1 We may amend this Agreement from time to time. We will provide notice of amendments by email to the address associated with your Account and/or through the Services.

11.2 Unless otherwise stated in the notice, amendments take effect from the date the notice is given, except where the amendment is required for legal or security reasons (in which case it may take effect immediately). Where an amendment that takes immediate effect is materially adverse to you, you may terminate within 14 days of notice.

11.3 By continuing to access or use the Services after amended Terms take effect, you are taken to have accepted them. If you do not agree to an amendment, you must stop using the Services before it takes effect.

12. Privacy

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Refer to our Privacy Policy.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Before commencing litigation, the parties must attempt to resolve any dispute by good-faith negotiation for 14 days and, if unresolved, by mediation administered in Queensland by the Resolution Institute, with costs shared equally. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent interlocutory relief.

14. General

14.1 Assignment. We may assign this Agreement as part of a business transfer, provided the assignee assumes our obligations and you are notified. You may not assign without our consent.

14.2 Entire agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the Services. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability for misleading or deceptive conduct under the Australian Consumer Law.

14.3 Severance. If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, it is severed, and the remainder continues in effect.

14.4 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for events beyond its reasonable control.

14.5 Notices. Notices to us must be sent to admin@archiupskill.com. Notices to you will be sent to the email associated with your Account.

14.6 GST. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all Fees are inclusive of GST where required by law. Where GST is payable on a taxable supply under this Agreement, we will provide a valid tax invoice. Terms in this clause have the meaning given in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).
