CatenaHQ is a software platform operated by Anthony Owen trading as CatenaHQ ("we", "us", "our") that provides tools for founders and companies to manage capital raising, investor relations, corporate governance, and related activities ("Platform").
CatenaHQ is not a financial services provider. We do not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). We do not provide financial product advice, legal advice, taxation advice, or accounting services. The Platform provides tools and information only — it does not replace professional advice.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.
If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you individually and the entity.
To use the Platform, you must create an account by providing accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
You must notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorised access to your account where you have failed to maintain the security of your credentials.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. Each person may only maintain one active account unless additional accounts are created as sub-users under a primary account.
Access to the Platform may be subject to subscription fees as published on our Pricing page. Fees are stated in Australian dollars and are exclusive of GST unless stated otherwise.
Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. All fees are non-refundable except where required by Australian Consumer Law. We may change our fees at any time by giving you at least 30 days' written notice. Continued use of the Platform after a fee change constitutes acceptance of the new fees.
Payment is processed through our third-party payment provider (Stripe). We do not store your credit card details.
If payment fails, we may suspend your access until payment is received. Accounts with fees outstanding for more than 30 days may be restricted or terminated.
You may use the Platform for your own internal business purposes in connection with managing your company's capital raising, investor relations, corporate governance, and related activities.
You must not:
You retain ownership of all data, documents, and content you upload to or create on the Platform ("Your Data"). We do not claim any ownership rights over Your Data.
By using the Platform, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, process, display, and transmit Your Data solely as necessary to provide the Platform's services to you.
You are responsible for ensuring that Your Data does not infringe any third party's rights and that you have all necessary consents to upload personal information of third parties (such as shareholder details).
We will take reasonable measures to protect Your Data, but we do not guarantee that data loss will not occur. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of critical data.
When an account is deleted, we anonymise the account (removing identifying information such as email and password) while retaining transaction records as required for compliance, audit, and legal purposes. This approach is disclosed to you at the time of deletion.
The Platform, including its design, code, features, documentation, branding, and all related intellectual property, is owned by us or our licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Platform as described.
The CatenaHQ name, logo, and brand are our trademarks. You must not use them without our prior written consent.
We may use your company name and logo on our website and marketing materials as a customer reference unless you notify us in writing that you do not consent.
Your use of the Platform is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, store, and disclose personal information. By using the Platform, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
The Platform may integrate with or contain links to third-party services (such as Stripe for payment processing, SendGrid for email delivery, and AI services for platform features). Your use of third-party services is subject to their own terms and conditions. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services.
No financial, legal, or tax advice. The Platform provides tools and information to assist with capital raising and corporate management. Nothing on the Platform constitutes financial product advice, legal advice, tax advice, or accounting advice. You must obtain independent professional advice before making any financial, legal, or business decisions.
No guarantee of outcomes. We do not guarantee that use of the Platform will result in successful capital raising, investment, or any particular business outcome. The success of any transaction depends on many factors beyond our control.
Platform availability. We aim to provide continuous access to the Platform but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may suspend access for maintenance, updates, or other operational reasons. We will endeavour to provide reasonable notice of planned downtime.
As is. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform is limited to the total fees paid by you to us in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, business opportunities, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Platform, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights.
By you. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or through the billing section of the Platform. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of prepaid fees for the current billing period.
By us. We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or use the Platform in a way that may cause harm to us or other users. We may also terminate your account with 30 days' notice for any reason.
Effect of termination. Upon termination, your access to the Platform will cease. We will retain Your Data for a reasonable period (not less than 30 days) to allow you to export it. After that period, Your Data may be deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data retention practices.
Sections relating to intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law survive termination.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the Platform at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform and may terminate your account.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. You submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable subscription agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Platform.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.
