Terms of Service

> effective 30 October 2026 · v3.7

These terms govern your use of SkuEstimator (the "Plugin"). By installing, you agree to them.

1. Who we are

SkuEstimator is a product of Modular Buildings Australia Pty Ltd, Queensland, Australia — ABN 56 680 040 313. Contact hello@skuestimator.com.

2. What you get

A SketchUp® Pro plugin that reads dynamic-component attributes from your model and produces cost summaries, supplier price requests, materials orders, client quotes and bills of materials — together with tools for attribute set-up, colour resolution, pack rules, built-in export checks, supplier price checking and an optional AI assistant. This is the SkuEstimator DIY plan. It runs on SketchUp Pro 2026 for Windows. SkuEstimator Pro (client jobs, job types, custom document types, your own Fail Safe rules, the Component Library bulk editor and punching call-outs) is not yet available; it will have its own price and these terms will be updated before it goes on sale. Automatic take-off requires your components to carry the relevant attributes; see the requirements.

3. Free trial

New subscribers can choose a 3-day free trial with every DIY feature. During the trial, documents exported from the Plugin carry a “TRIAL COPY” watermark. A card is required at checkout, but nothing is charged during the trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription starts automatically and your card is charged A$29 + GST (A$31.90 in Australia) per month. Your licence email and the Plugin show the date your trial ends. You can end the trial early at any time from the account page or the Plugin, which charges the first month immediately and removes the watermark; if that payment fails, the trial continues unchanged. You can also skip the trial and pay for the first month at checkout. One free trial per customer; if you have had a licence before, you are charged when you subscribe.

4. Subscriptions and billing

  • Price. SkuEstimator DIY is A$29 per month plus GST, billed monthly in advance in Australian dollars by Stripe. GST is itemised on your tax invoice.
  • Licence. Each subscription gives one person a licence for up to 2 computers. You can release a computer from the account page to move the licence.
  • Cancelling. Cancel any time from the account page (Stripe’s customer portal) or by emailing us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid month, and you keep full use until then. We do not refund part-months, except where the Australian Consumer Law requires it.
  • Failed payments. If a monthly payment fails, Stripe retries it. The Plugin keeps working for 7 days while it does; after that it locks until the payment succeeds, and if every retry fails the subscription ends. If the first payment at the end of a free trial fails, access stops straight away.
  • Without an active trial or subscription the Plugin shows only its activation screen (plus its licence, diagnostics and backup tools) and cannot otherwise be used. Your models and data on your computer are untouched, and access returns when you subscribe again; resubscribing from the account page keeps the same licence key. The Plugin installer is available only to customers with an active trial or subscription.
  • Price changes. We will email you at least 30 days before any price change takes effect, and you can cancel before it does.

5. Your data

Your models, price files, customers and estimates are yours, and they stay on your computer. We hold no copy and cannot access them. The one exception is the optional AI assistant: when you personally issue an AI command, the relevant component context is sent to the AI provider you chose (OpenAI or Anthropic) to answer that request (and, if you use voice dictation, your recording is sent to OpenAI for transcription). We never sell your data and never use it to train models. See our Privacy Policy.

6. The AI assistant

The AI assistant is optional and requires you to supply your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic. You contract directly with the provider you choose and pay them directly under their terms (OpenAI, Anthropic); we neither resell nor meter their service. Optional voice dictation uses your own OpenAI API key in the same way. Every other feature of the plugin works without AI. The licence is checked online when you activate it, about a minute after SketchUp starts, and every 6 hours while it is open. SkuEstimator works offline for up to 30 days between successful checks; after that, or if your computer’s clock is set back, documents you export carry an “UNLICENSED COPY” watermark until it can check again. AI output is a suggestion, not professional advice, and clause 10 applies to it in full.

7. Acceptable use

  • Don’t reverse-engineer, repackage or redistribute the Plugin.
  • One licence is for one person, on up to 2 computers. Don’t share your licence key.
  • Don’t use the Plugin or its AI output to do anything unlawful.

We may suspend access for material breach — we’ll email first and give you a chance to put it right. If you dispute a charge with your card issuer, your licence is suspended and billing stops until the dispute is resolved; if it is resolved in our favour, your licence is restored.

8. Intellectual property & licence

The Plugin and the SkuEstimator brand are ours. Your free trial or active subscription grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Plugin. SketchUp is a registered trademark of Trimble Inc.; SkuEstimator is an independent third-party extension and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Trimble.

9. Third-party components

The Plugin includes open-source libraries used under their respective licences; the applicable notices ship with the extension.

10. Liability

SkuEstimator produces suggested quantities and prices. You are responsible for reviewing every output before sending it to a customer, supplier or fabricator. To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, our liability for any claim is capped at what you have paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

11. Changes

If we change these terms materially we’ll email subscribers at least 30 days before the change takes effect.

12. Australian law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. The Australian Consumer Law gives you statutory rights these terms cannot exclude, and nothing here limits them.
