Terms of Service

Last updated 11 July 2026

These terms govern your use of the Hovea app and website. By creating an account or using Hovea, you agree to them.

Hovea is operated by Caesia Software Pty Ltd (ABN 86 678 903 305) (“Hovea”, “we”, “us”). Contact: support@hovea.au.

1. What Hovea is

Hovea is a tool that helps you turn a job description into a professional quote, and turn a won quote into an invoice. An AI assistant drafts line items, scope, and pricing from your own price book; you review, edit, and decide what to send. Hovea helps you produce quotes and invoices — it does not perform the work, set your prices, collect payment on your behalf, or contract with your customers on your behalf.

2. Quotes and invoices are different documents

A quote (or estimate) is an offer to do the described work. It is not a tax invoice and does not request payment. An invoice is a separate document you create from a quote once the customer accepts it, and does request payment — it is headed "Tax Invoice" only where your business is registered for GST. Hovea does not process payments; marking an invoice as paid is a manual record you control, and doesn't itself transfer any money.

3. You are responsible for your quotes and invoices

AI-generated content is a starting point, not professional advice. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, pricing, scope, and legal compliance of every quote and invoice you send, including:

GST — only charging GST if your business is registered for it, and applying it correctly.
Your ABN and business details being correct.
Compliance with the law that applies to your trade and jurisdiction — for example, in WA, the Home Building Contracts Act 1991 (written contracts, deposit limits, home indemnity insurance) and the Australian Consumer Law (including cooling-off rights for unsolicited agreements).

Hovea may surface reminders about some of these obligations to help you, but those reminders are general information, not legal or tax advice, and may not cover your situation. Check with a qualified professional when in doubt.

4. Your account and acceptable use

Keep your login details secure; you’re responsible for activity on your account.
Provide accurate information, and keep your business profile up to date.
Don’t use Hovea unlawfully, to mislead your customers, or to infringe anyone’s rights.
Only enter information you’re entitled to use, including your customers’ details.

5. Subscriptions and billing

Some features may require a paid subscription. Where you subscribe through the Apple App Store or Google Play, billing, renewals, and cancellations are handled by that store under its terms. Pricing and what’s included are shown in the app before you purchase.

6. Intellectual property

Your content — your price book, business details, quotes, invoices, and customer information — remains yours. You grant us the limited rights needed to host and process it to provide the service (see our Privacy Policy). The Hovea name, logo, and app are our intellectual property.

7. Disclaimers

Hovea is provided “as is”. It is a productivity tool and is not a substitute for professional legal, tax, accounting, or building-compliance advice. We don’t warrant that AI-drafted content will be accurate, complete, or suitable for a particular job — that’s why you review every quote and invoice before sending.

8. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited to re-supplying the service or paying the cost of re-supply, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

9. Suspension and termination

You can stop using Hovea and close your account at any time. We may suspend or end access if you breach these terms or use Hovea in a way that risks harm to others or to the service.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia and the Commonwealth of Australia, and you submit to the courts of Western Australia.

11. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. We’ll update the date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the app. Continuing to use Hovea after a change means you accept the updated terms.
