These terms apply to the ACTS: Auctioneer Training app and website operated by Nicholas McIntyre, trading as ACTS: Auctioneer Training. Contact actsauctioneertraining@gmail.com. Please read these terms and the Privacy Policy before using ACTS.
Agreement and store terms
By using ACTS you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree, stop using ACTS and manage any subscription through your store account. Applicable Apple App Store or Google Play terms also apply to your download and transactions.
For the iOS app, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement governs the app licence unless the App Store listing expressly supplies a different agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ . These terms supplement that licence with ACTS service, training and website terms and do not replace Apple's standard licence or override mandatory consumer rights.
Training purpose
ACTS is a simulator and practice aid. Generated scripts, calculations, scenarios, scoring and recommendations are educational material, not legal, financial, property, compliance or auction-day advice. Check outputs before use and obtain appropriate professional advice for real transactions.
ACTS does not guarantee accreditation, competition results, auction performance or a particular outcome. You remain responsible for following applicable auction laws, professional rules, agency procedures and auction conditions. Do not use ACTS in a way that creates a safety risk or distracts you from real duties.
Permitted use
Subject to the applicable store licence and these terms, you may use ACTS on supported devices for lawful personal training, preparation and professional development. You must have authority to use any information you enter.
Do not resell the app, redistribute protected app assets or source code, bypass store access controls, interfere with operation, impersonate another person or use ACTS unlawfully. Restrictions on reverse engineering or copying apply only to the extent permitted by law and do not restrict rights granted by an applicable open-source licence.
Standard and Pro subscriptions
ACTS offers Standard and Pro membership tiers with the features described on the relevant purchase screen. Weekly, monthly and annual plans are auto-renewing subscriptions where available. The store displays the actual local price, currency, billing period and any offer before confirmation.
Payment is charged to the Apple or Google account used for purchase. Unless cancelled, a subscription renews for its billing period under the store's rules. Price changes are subject to required notice and consent. Manage or cancel in the original store account; deleting ACTS does not cancel billing. Cancellation normally stops future renewal and access continues through the paid period, subject to refunds or other store adjustments.
Lifetime Pro purchases and store codes
Store-issued codes are redeemed through the relevant Apple or Google redemption flow, subject to that store's eligibility, availability and expiry rules. Review the store confirmation for the access period, price and whether renewal applies. A time-limited code does not create permanent access.
ACTS Pro Lifetime provides the same Pro entitlement as a Pro subscription through a one-time non-consumable purchase: one payment, with no renewals and no scheduled expiry. Members can buy it in the app under Settings > Manage Account > Purchase Lifetime Access, separately from the subscription purchase screens (earlier test versions showed it on the Pro purchase screen), or obtain it through an eligible store-issued gift code. Buying Lifetime does not automatically cancel an existing subscription; manage that subscription separately in the original store account. Cancelling a subscription does not affect Lifetime access. Permanent access does not promise that every future separate product will be included, or that the app will operate forever on every device. Applicable consumer rights continue to apply.
Use the same store account to restore eligible purchases. Apple codes cannot be redeemed in Google Play and Google codes cannot be redeemed in the App Store. ACTS has no shared user account that guarantees access will transfer between the two stores. Legacy in-app admin codes are no longer an access method since version 4.0.1.
Restoration, refunds and consumer rights
Restore Purchases asks the store and RevenueCat to re-check eligible access. Network or store issues, expired access or a different store account may prevent recognition. Contact us if restoration does not resolve an eligible purchase.
Membership verification is separate from supported-version approval. Eligible cached access can support offline use. ACTS re-checks subscription access at renewal or expiry and periodically during an active store billing grace period. If a renewal check fails, recently verified subscription access can be retained for up to three days from its last verification while checks are retried; an internet connection is then needed to verify continued access. This does not create a free renewal or extend a revoked entitlement. Lifetime has no scheduled membership expiry, but refunds, revocations or other store adjustments can remove its entitlement. Purchases, redemption and restoration need a connection.
Apple refund requests can be made at https://reportaproblem.apple.com/ . Google Play refund help is at https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637 . You may also contact ACTS for assistance. Store procedures do not exclude rights or remedies against ACTS that the law provides.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a consumer guarantee or other right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law. Where applicable, remedies can include repair, replacement, refund or compensation under that law.
Your information, exported scripts and score cards
You retain any rights you have in material you enter. You permit ACTS to process that material as needed to provide the features you request; this does not transfer ownership to ACTS. Do not enter or share material that infringes copyright, confidentiality, privacy or another person's rights.
You may save, print, export and share scripts and Daily Challenge score cards generated through the app's intended features for your own training and preparation, including with colleagues, a coach or on social media. This permission does not authorise selling an ACTS content library, redistributing bundled artwork, fonts or voice models, or claiming ACTS endorses you. Third-party rights in your entries still apply.
Local history and scripts may be lost when app data is cleared, the app is deleted or a device is changed without a compatible backup. Keep separate copies you need. The Privacy Policy explains local data, exports, optional speech services, store records and website registrations.
Copyright, branding and licences
Rights in ACTS software, branding, interface and original materials are reserved by their respective rights holders to the extent protected by law. No ownership of ACTS materials is transferred by access to the app. These terms do not assert exclusive copyright over every generated output.
Third-party software, fonts, voice-model materials and datasets remain governed by their own licences. Notices are available in the app under Legal & Licences and on the website at https://actsauctioneer.com/credits . Open-source licence rights are not reduced by these terms.
For a copyright concern, contact actsauctioneertraining@gmail.com with the work concerned, where it appears in ACTS, your contact details and the basis of your claim. We will review it and address substantiated issues.
Updates, availability and fair changes
ACTS needs a compatible device and operating system; purchases, redemption, restoration and updates require a network connection. Features may need maintenance or change for security, compatibility or store requirements. Availability cannot be guaranteed without interruption.
Current ACTS builds check the supported-version policy once on a fresh app launch. A fresh installation, a newly installed build or an expired cached approval needs an internet connection. After a successful check, a supported build can use cached version approval offline for up to 30 days. Earlier builds from 4.1.2 build 40102 may check on resume and use a shorter 24-hour period. ACTS may require installation of a supported update before further use. Older installations without the check are not remotely upgraded by this feature.
We will give reasonable notice of material changes affecting paid access where practicable, and comply with applicable notice, consent and consumer-remedy obligations. Urgent security or legal changes may take effect sooner. We will not rely on a change to remove accrued rights or avoid delivering paid access without a remedy required by law.
Responsibility and limitations
ACTS is responsible for the app and its support. Apple and Google separately provide their store and payment services. Each provider's applicable obligations continue to apply.
Subject to non-excludable rights, ACTS does not warrant that training outputs are error-free or suitable for a particular real transaction. Any exclusion or limitation of liability applies only to the extent permitted by law; nothing here removes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. We do not ask you to waive mandatory consumer protections.
Law, changes and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, subject to mandatory protections in your location. Disputes may be heard by courts with jurisdiction under applicable law; this does not require consumers to waive a right to use another competent court.
Updated terms show a new date and are published in ACTS and at https://actsauctioneer.com/terms . Material changes will be communicated where appropriate, and consent obtained where required. Contact actsauctioneertraining@gmail.com with questions or complaints.
