Terms of Service

Who we are

Kourt is operated by Open Source Consulting Pty Ltd(ABN 87 138 794 920), a company registered in Queensland, Australia. Our registered office is at 1503, 13–17 Cordelia Street, South Brisbane QLD 4101. “We,” “us,” and “Kourt” throughout this document mean that company. “You” means the individual or organisation using the service.

The service

Kourt is a software-as-a-service platform that helps you plan, draft, grade, and publish long-form content, using your brand profile, compliance rules, and (optionally) Google Search Console data to prioritise and inform the work. We keep improving it; features and limits may change over time, though we'll give reasonable notice of anything that materially reduces what you're paying for.

Your account

You need an account to use Kourt. You're responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this contract. If you're signing up on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you're authorised to bind it to these terms.

Plans, billing, and cancellation

• Plans are monthly subscriptions. Prices and what's included in each tier are listed on our pricing page. Prices are shown in USD with an approximate AUD equivalent; billing happens in USD via Stripe.
• Paid plans are charged monthly when you start the subscription. Page is free forever. No card, no charge. You can switch tiers at any time from the Billing page.
• You can cancel any time from the Billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid month. You'll keep access until then, and you won't be charged again.
• We don't automatically refund partial months. If something is clearly broken on our side and you raise it within 30 days, reach out and we'll make it right at our discretion.
• We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice by email. Changes take effect at your next renewal. You can cancel before then if you don't accept the new price.
• Taxes (including GST for Australian customers) are added on top of the listed price where applicable.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use Kourt to:

• Generate, publish, or distribute content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing, infringing on someone else's copyright or trademark, or designed to deceive readers about its origin.
• Impersonate another person or brand in a way that could mislead their customers or followers.
• Spam, scrape, or overload the service beyond the usage patterns your plan describes.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from Kourt (except where this right can't lawfully be restricted).
• Resell or sublicense Kourt access to third parties without our written permission.
• Circumvent any technical restrictions (e.g. plan gates or rate limits).

If you're in a regulated industry like health (AHPRA), financial services, or legal, you're responsible for making sure the content you publish complies with the relevant rules. Kourt's compliance packs surface flags and warnings, but final review and sign-off is on you.

AI-generated output

Kourt uses large language models to draft, grade, and optimise content. You understand and accept that:

• AI output can be wrong, misleading, or fabricated. You must review every draft before publishing.
• Kourt is a writing assistant, not a legal, medical, financial, or regulatory advisor. Treat its output accordingly.
• You're solely responsible for the content you publish, including any claims, recommendations, or statements made in it.
• We don't guarantee that AI output is free from resemblance to existing material. If you're publishing commercially, it's on you to check for plagiarism and third-party rights.

Your content and our platform

You own your content. Brand profiles, keywords, briefs, drafts, and published articles you create inside Kourt are yours. We claim no ownership over them.

To run the service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, copy, transmit, process, and display your content, solely so we can deliver Kourt to you. This licence ends when you delete the content or close your account.

We own the platform.Kourt's software, brand, UI, documentation, and logos are ours (or our licensors'). You don't receive any ownership rights in the platform by using it.

Third-party services

Kourt integrates with services like Google Search Console, Stripe, WordPress, and Webflow. Those services have their own terms and privacy policies. Your use of them through Kourt is also subject to theirs, and we're not responsible for how they handle your data.

If a third-party service changes, deprecates, or blocks access, we'll do our best to adapt but can't guarantee uninterrupted integration.

Service availability

We aim for high availability but don't promise uninterrupted service. Planned maintenance, upstream outages, or force majeure events may temporarily affect access. We'll communicate significant planned downtime in advance where possible.

Warranties and limits

Kourt is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties not expressly given in this document, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you under or in connection with these terms (in contract, tort, or any other cause of action) is capped at the fees you paid us in the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. We're not liable for indirect, consequential, or special losses (including lost profits, lost revenue, or lost data) except where the law doesn't allow us to exclude them.

Australian Consumer Law:nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that can't be lawfully excluded. Where our liability can be limited, our liability for breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee is limited (at our option) to re-supplying the service or refunding the price paid.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from content you publish using Kourt, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Termination

You can stop using Kourt and close your account at any time. We can suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these terms, use the service to harm others, or go more than 30 days overdue on a paid invoice. We'll give notice and a chance to fix things first where the breach is curable.

On termination, we'll delete your workspace data within 30 days, except where we're legally required to retain it (e.g. tax records). You can export your drafts and brand profile before closing your account.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll email active account holders at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of Kourt after that means you accept the updated terms. If you don't accept them, cancel before they take effect.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Any dispute will be handled by the courts of Queensland, unless consumer protection laws in your home jurisdiction give you a non-waivable right to sue locally.
