Failed payments
If a payment fails, we will attempt to notify you and retry the charge. If payment remains outstanding for more than 7 days, we may suspend your access to the Service until the outstanding amount is settled.
Australian Consumer Law: Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law, including any applicable consumer guarantees. To the extent of any inconsistency, the Australian Consumer Law prevails.

AI Service Disclaimer
The noema platform uses AI language models to generate responses during telephone calls. You acknowledge and agree that:
AI responses are not guaranteed to be accurate
AI-generated responses may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. You are responsible for configuring the AI with accurate information about your business and for reviewing how the AI represents your services.
The AI is not a licensed professional
noema must not be used to provide medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice that requires a licence or professional qualification. The AI is not a substitute for qualified professional judgment.
The AI cannot handle emergencies
The noema AI cannot detect or respond to emergency situations and is not connected to any emergency service. Callers in an emergency must be directed to call 000. You must not deploy noema in any context where callers may require emergency assistance.
Service availability
The AI capabilities depend on third-party providers (including Anthropic, Deepgram, and ElevenLabs). We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and are not liable for downtime caused by those providers.
Call Recording Obligations
The Service automatically records and transcribes telephone calls. Call recording is subject to legal requirements that vary by jurisdiction.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of call recording complies with all applicable laws, including (without limitation):
- —The Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 (Cth)
- —State and territory surveillance and listening device legislation
- —Any industry-specific recording obligations applicable to your business
The noema AI informs callers at the commencement of each call that they are speaking with an AI assistant. This notification assists in satisfying consent requirements in most Australian jurisdictions; however, we make no representation that this alone satisfies all recording obligations in every jurisdiction or industry.
You indemnify us against any loss, liability, or claim arising from your failure to comply with applicable call recording laws.
Customer Data
Ownership: You retain all ownership rights in the data you upload or generate through the Service, including call recordings, transcripts, contact records, and lead information ("Customer Data").
Licence to us: You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process, store, and transmit Customer Data solely to operate and improve the Service. We will not use Customer Data for any other purpose without your consent.
Your responsibilities: You represent that you have all necessary rights and consents to provide Customer Data to us and to use it in connection with the Service. You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of Customer Data.
Data export: You may export your Customer Data from the dashboard at any time while your account is active. On account termination, you should export your data before the account is closed. We are not obligated to retain Customer Data after the applicable retention periods described in our Privacy Policy.
Intellectual Property
The Service, including all software, designs, trademarks, logos, and content created by us, is owned by Noema Consulting Pty Ltd and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Service as described herein.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our express written permission.
If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that feedback for any purpose.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to the Australian Consumer Law:
Exclusion of consequential loss
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Cap on liability
Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from or relating to the Service is limited to the total fees you paid to us in the 3 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Third-party services
We are not liable for the acts or omissions of third-party providers (including Twilio, Deepgram, Anthropic, ElevenLabs, or Stripe), or for any failure or degradation of the Service caused by those providers.
Australian Consumer Law: Nothing in this section excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred on you by the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be lawfully excluded. Where the ACL applies and our liability cannot be excluded, our liability is limited (to the extent permitted) to re-supplying the services or paying the cost of re-supply.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Noema Consulting Pty Ltd, its directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:
- —Your violation of these Terms
- —Your violation of any applicable law, including call recording and privacy laws
- —Your Customer Data, including any claim that it infringes the rights of a third party
- —Your misuse of the Service or the AI-generated content
- —Any claim by a caller arising from your configuration or use of the Service
Termination
By you: You may cancel your account at any time from your billing settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
By us: We may suspend or terminate your account immediately, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, if you fail to pay fees when due, or if we are required to do so by law. We may also terminate your account with 30 days' notice at our discretion.
Effect of termination: On termination, your access to the Service will cease and your telephone number may be released. You should export any Customer Data before termination. Clauses that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, indemnification, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.
