Terms

Use the check. Do not treat it as the register itself.

These terms are a plain-language template for a small operator. Have a solicitor admitted in Australia review them before you take payment. The operator is Jakson Brian Currie, ABN 42 260 323 511.

The service

ABN Formula for Google Sheets™ checks Australian Business Numbers from a spreadsheet. The free plan allows 50 different ABNs per calendar month, using Sydney time. Pro allows 10,000 and costs A$9 a month or A$79 a year. Prices are in AUD and are charged by Stripe.

Google Sheets is a trademark of Google LLC.

Not a government service

ABN Formula is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or part of the Australian Government, the Australian Taxation Office or the Australian Business Register. Do not describe a result as if it came from a government product. Register extracts are used under the ABN Lookup web services agreement. If we are told that a record has been withdrawn, we will delete our saved copy.

Accuracy

Results come from ABN Lookup and may be kept for up to 24 hours. The official register can change sooner than that. A valid checksum does not mean an ABN was issued. An Active status is not a promise that a business is solvent, that an invoice is genuine, or that a bank account belongs to that entity. Check the register again, and check other sources, before you rely on a result for a payment or a tax decision.

The ABN Lookup service is provided by the Commonwealth on an “as is” basis. We pass that on: we do not warrant that a result is complete, current or uninterrupted.

Your account

You sign in with the Google account that opens the spreadsheet. You are responsible for that account and for the people you let use the file. In a shared spreadsheet, formulas may count against the Google account that authorised the add-on, if Google Sheets cannot tell the users apart.

Fees and cancellation

Fees are charged in advance by Stripe. You can cancel from the sidebar, which opens the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation stops the next renewal. It does not refund the current period unless the Australian Consumer Law requires a refund. When the subscription ends, the account returns to the free allowance.

Delete my data removes your email and lookup history from ABN Formula. The delete button also tries to cancel a live Stripe subscription. If that call fails, cancel in the portal so you are not billed again.

Acceptable use

Do not resell access to the service, scrape the register through the add-on, or send bulk traffic that is not about checking suppliers or customers in a spreadsheet. We pace calls to ABN Lookup and may slow or stop a client that tries to get around that limit.

Privacy

The privacy policy forms part of these terms.

Australian Consumer Law

If you are a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, you have guarantees that cannot be excluded. Where the law lets us limit a remedy, we limit it to supplying the service again or paying the cost of having it supplied again.

For customers using ABN Formula in a business, and only as far as the law allows, our liability for a claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for lost profit, lost invoices, or a payment you made to the wrong entity because a saved or register result was wrong or out of date.

Suspension

We may suspend access if the service is being misused, if a bill stays unpaid after the grace period, or if we have to stop because the ABN Lookup agreement ends. Where we can, we will email the address on the account.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. The courts of that state have jurisdiction. That does not remove any right you have to use a tribunal.
