Terms of Use

Plain English. Last updated June 2026. Yamate is built and run in Australia.
Yamate is a founder pilot. These are plain-English terms describing how it works today — a summary, not formal legal advice. We'll have them professionally reviewed before wider launch.

What Yamate is

Yamate is admin software to help solo tradies quote, invoice, chase payments and keep track of jobs. It's provided as-is while in pilot — it's genuinely useful, but new and improving.

Pricing & cancellation

Your data & your account

Fair use

Don't use Yamate for anything unlawful, to send spam, or to misuse the SMS/messaging features. Don't copy, resell or redistribute the software.

“Included” and “unlimited” features are for normal solo-tradie business use. Customer texts and AI quote drafting are included on a fair-use basis — ordinary day-to-day business volumes, not bulk marketing, automated blasting, reselling messages, or use far beyond what a typical one-person trade business sends. To keep the flat price sustainable, we may introduce reasonable usage limits or at-cost charges on these features to prevent abuse or to avoid running at a loss. If we do, we will give you notice first, any limits will be reasonable, and your Founder price stays locked — a fair-use limit is about volume, never a price rise.

Texting your customers. When you send messages to your customers through Yamate, you are responsible for having their consent to be contacted and for complying with the Spam Act 2003. We give you the tools (opt-in capture and an unsubscribe/STOP handler); the relationship with your customer is yours.

Honest limits

Yamate helps you stay on top of admin, but it doesn't replace an accountant or BAS agent. GST/EOFY figures are summaries to hand to your accountant — check them. AI-drafted quotes are a starting point — you set the final price. We aren't liable for losses from relying on the app; please double-check anything important.

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be lawfully excluded. Where we are able to limit our liability, we limit it — to the extent the law permits — to re-supplying the service or refunding the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim; we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

Tax & safety features. Yamate is software, not a professional adviser. It is not a registered tax or BAS agent and does not prepare or lodge anything — GST/BAS/EOFY figures are summaries for you and your accountant to check. Compliance and SWMS features are starting-point drafts you must review, complete and take responsibility for; they are general information, not legal, safety or professional advice. Confirm anything important with your accountant, your regulator or a suitable professional.

Changes

We may update these terms as Yamate grows; we'll note the date at the top. If we make a change that materially affects you, we will give you reasonable notice (in-app or by email) before it takes effect, and you are free to cancel before then if you do not agree. Continuing to use Yamate after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.

Who we are

Yamate is a product of Clarova Pty Ltd · ABN 12 701 418 957. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean that company.
