AMC AutoPOS: Terms of Use and Licence

Version 2.0 · Effective: [DATE IT GOES LIVE]

The short version

  • You pay once and own a lifetime licence for the number of devices you bought. No subscription.
  • One fee, taken once a day at cash-up from the day's card takings only: 1.2% of the day's card sales. Cash sales carry no fee. The app shows it to you before you cash up.
  • Unpaid fees carry forward. If any fee stays unpaid for more than 7 days, new sales are temporarily paused until settled; your records, reports, cash-up, settings, and refunds stay available.
  • If you change your mind we don't offer refunds, but nothing here limits your legal rights, including a remedy if the software is faulty or isn't what we described.
  • If a copy isn't activated, the fee at cash-up is a higher unactivated rate (20% of the day's takings). The app shows you this before your first sale, and entering a key switches you to the standard rate straight away.

The full terms are below. If anything is unclear, contact us before you buy.

1. Who we are

AMC AutoPOS is provided by AMC inNOVAtions, a sole trader (ABN 55 020 218 514), in New South Wales, Australia. You can contact us at sandy@amcautopos.fyi. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean that business, and "you" means the person or business buying or using the software.

2. What you are buying

You are buying a licence to use AMC AutoPOS on the number of devices covered by your licence key (one device per key). The licence is:

  • Lifetime. It doesn't expire and has no subscription fee.
  • Non-exclusive and personal to you. We keep ownership of the software.
  • Per device. Each key covers one active device. Multi-device packs include one key per device.

3. Price and payment

The price is shown at checkout before you pay, and it is a one-off payment. Payments are processed by Stripe. Any taxes that apply are shown at checkout.

4. Activation and the unactivated rate

You can record sales in AMC AutoPOS without a licence key. The fee we take at cash-up has two rates:

  • Standard rate. Once you enter a valid licence key, the fee is charged at the standard rate in section 5.
  • Unactivated rate. Until a key is entered, the fee at cash-up is 20% of the day's total takings instead of the standard rate. This is the price of using our service without a licence. It is a pricing option, not a charge for breaching these terms.
  • You see it before you pay it. Before the first sale on an unactivated copy, the app shows this rate and asks you to either activate or confirm that you want to continue at the unactivated rate.
  • You can activate any time during the day. The fee is only worked out once, at cash-up at the end of the day. If you enter a valid key before that cash-up, the standard rate applies to that whole day's takings.
  • A running notice. While a copy is unactivated, the app shows the fee that would be deducted today so far, and what it would be at the standard rate.
  • Cash is free. On an activated copy the fee is worked out on the day's card takings only. Cash sales carry no fee.

5. The fee, settled at cash-up

When you cash up at the end of the day, a standard fee of 1.2% of the day's card takings applies (Stripe charges its own card processing fee separately, directly to your Stripe account) (or 20% of total takings if the copy is not activated). Cash sales carry no fee on an activated copy. The fee covers payment provider infrastructure and our service charge. It is worked out once a day, at cash-up, and is never added to your customer's bill. The app shows you the fee breakdown before you cash up.

Pay at cash-up: At cash-up, the app displays the fee and you tap Pay Fee to settle via a secure Stripe checkout on our licence/fee account. You can pay on the terminal device or scan the QR code to pay from a mobile phone. We never charge a saved card or bank account without the owner pressing Pay, and we never hold your takings.

Carried balances and the 7-day rule: If a fee is not settled at cash-up (for instance, while operating offline), the unpaid amount carries forward to subsequent days. If any fee remains unpaid for more than 7 days, the app temporarily pauses new sales only (register cart additions and checkout tender) until the outstanding fee balance is settled. All historical records, financial reports, daily cash-up, settings, and refunds remain fully accessible at all times.

Your bank account and your cash. When you set up your account you enter your own bank account. You must do this before your first cash-up. At cash-up the app shows how much cash to deposit and into which of your accounts. Daily banking is recommended, and weekly is allowed. The app keeps your ledger of takings and any deposit amount or reference you enter. It does not check your bank, so it can only show differences against what you tell it. You bank your own cash. We never ask you to deposit it with us and we never hold it.

6. Refunds and your legal rights

We do not offer refunds if you change your mind, as software licences are generated and delivered digitally straight away. All digital licence purchases are final.

This does not limit your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law or any other mandatory consumer protection law that applies to you. In the event of a major failure that cannot be remedied within a reasonable timeframe, statutory remedies apply under applicable law.

7. Optional upgrades

We may offer optional paid upgrades from time to time. No single optional upgrade will be sold for more than USD $50. Upgrades are optional. If you don't buy one, the core software you purchased keeps working.

8. Your responsibilities

  • You are responsible for entering the correct tax rates, prices and business details in the app. The software does not give tax advice.
  • You are responsible for keeping your own backups of your business records.
  • You must use the software lawfully.

9. Limits on the licence

You must not copy the software to give or sell to others, resell your key, or remove licensing protections. Doing so may end your licence. We will tell you first and give you a reasonable chance to fix the problem.

10. Updates and support

We provide fixes and updates for the software for as long as we offer it. Support is available at the contact address above.

11. Our liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profits. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded by law, including under the Australian Consumer Law. Where the law allows us to limit our liability for a failure, our liability is limited to resupplying the software or refunding the price you paid.

12. Changes to these terms

If we update these terms, we will publish the new version with a new version number and effective date, and notify you where we can. Changes won't reduce your rights under a licence you have already bought, unless the law requires it.

13. Privacy

How we handle personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy [LINK, to be written].

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia. This does not remove any rights you have under consumer protection laws where you live.
