Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By using ato-mcp.com.au ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description

The Service provides AI-accessible retrieval of publicly available Australian Taxation Office information via the Model Context Protocol. It is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Australian Taxation Office.

The Service provides general information, not tax advice, and is not a registered tax agent service.

3. Not Tax Advice

Information provided through the Service is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute tax advice, legal advice, or financial advice. Tax laws are complex and change frequently.

You should always consult a registered tax agent or other qualified professional before making any decisions based on information retrieved through this Service.

4. Accounts

You sign in with your email or Google account. Keep your sign-in details secure and tell us at william@ato-mcp.com.au if you suspect unauthorised access. One account is for one person or one business; sharing an account or reselling access is not permitted.

5. Plans, billing and cancellation

The Free plan includes 50 corpus lookups per calendar month (Australia/Sydney), resetting on the 1st. Pro is $149 per year, $19 per month, or $299 once for lifetime access, including GST, for unlimited lookups.

Founding offer: until 5 November 2026, yearly Pro is $99 a year and lifetime Pro is $199 once. If you subscribe to yearly Pro during the founding window, your price stays at $99 a year for as long as your subscription continues without a break. If you switch to monthly, or your subscription ends and you subscribe again later, the standard price applies. Switching an existing monthly subscription to yearly is charged at the standard yearly price.

Lifetime Pro is a one-off payment for Pro for as long as the Service runs, under the same fair use as Pro (2,000 lookups a day). It does not renew. If you buy it while on monthly or yearly Pro, your subscription ends at the end of the period you have paid for, with no further charge and no refund for the rest of that period.

Pro renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the price that applies to your subscription, until you cancel. You can cancel online from your account page at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period and there is no cancellation fee. You can switch from monthly to yearly at any time; you pay the yearly price less a credit for the unused part of your month, and your year starts that day. You can switch from yearly to monthly from your account page; the change takes effect when your current year ends. Payments are processed by Stripe and a tax invoice is issued for every charge.

Refunds: Your first Pro payment is refundable in full within 14 days: just email william@ato-mcp.com.au. After that there are no change-of-mind refunds, and Pro runs to the end of the period you paid for. We will refund the unused part of your period if the Service materially fails to work as described. Deleting your account ends Pro immediately and is not refunded. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.

Price changes: we will email you at least 30 days before any price change takes effect. If you cancel before then, the new price never applies to you.

6. Fair use

Unlimited means unlimited use by a person, or by an agent acting for that person, in the ordinary course of managing tax affairs. Automated bulk extraction of the corpus, resale, or running many people through one account is not fair use and may be throttled or ended after we contact you.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to circumvent any security measures
• Scrape or bulk-download the ATO corpus via the Service
• Resell access to the Service without prior written permission

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We make no guarantee that the ATO corpus is complete, accurate, or current. ATO publications may be updated at any time and our corpus may not reflect the latest changes.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from the Service is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms. We will email account holders at least 14 days before a material change takes effect, and you may cancel before it applies. Minor clarifications take effect when published.
