1. Acceptance of these terms
Sub-a-Saint is operated by Kyle Driscoll (ABN 61 832 423 243) ("Sub-a-Saint", "we", "us"). These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, form the whole agreement between you and us about your use of the Service. If you don't agree to them, please don't use the Service.
2. What Sub-a-Saint is (and isn't)
Sub-a-Saint is a software platform that helps Catholic schools post casual and relief teaching shifts, and helps casual teachers find and claim them. Sub-a-Saint is not an employment agency, a recruitment agency, a labour-hire provider, or an employer of either party. We don't engage, employ, roster, pay, supervise, or direct any teacher on a school's behalf. When a school and a teacher connect, confirm, or agree to a shift through the Service, the arrangement — including pay, working conditions, and compliance with any applicable employment or engagement laws — is directly between them. We're not a party to it.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 to create an account. School admin accounts require a valid registration code, issued by us to a genuine school. You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us straight away if you think your account's been compromised.
4. School subscriptions and billing
Schools pay a yearly subscription to use the Service, priced from the student headcount the school provides — currently $500/year for up to 100 students, plus $125/year for each additional 100 students or part thereof (see our pricing page for the current figures, which may change from time to time). Payments are processed by Stripe; by subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's own terms for the payment services it provides. Subscriptions renew automatically each year unless cancelled beforehand. Cancellation, renewal notices, and refunds are covered in full in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Provide false or misleading information — about yourself, a shift, a qualification, or a document.
- Use the Service to harass, discriminate against, or endanger anyone.
- Access or attempt to access another user's account, or data you're not authorised to see.
- Scrape, copy, or bulk-extract data from the Service.
- Interfere with the Service's normal operation or attempt to circumvent its security.
- Use the Service for any purpose other than genuinely arranging or offering casual teaching cover.
We can remove content, suspend, or terminate an account that breaches this section — see "Suspension and termination" below.
6. Vetting and content you provide
Teachers are responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of everything they upload — CV, WWCC, qualifications, evidence of experience, certificates, references, and profile details. Sub-a-Saint does not independently verify any document, qualification, or claim a teacher provides. We provide the platform for this information to be shared; we don't warrant its accuracy, currency, or that a teacher holds a valid or current Working With Children Check. It's each school's responsibility to independently verify a teacher's credentials, vetting status, and suitability before engaging them for any shift — the same diligence you'd apply to any casual engagement, regardless of how the connection was made.
You keep ownership of the content you upload, and grant us a licence to store it and show it to the audiences described in our Privacy Policy, for the purpose of operating the Service. We may remove content that breaches these terms or that we're required to remove by law.
7. The relationship between schools and teachers
Every shift, engagement, or job posting arranged through the Service is a direct arrangement between the school and the teacher. We don't guarantee that any shift will be filled, that any teacher will be available or suitable, or that any school will have suitable work available. Disputes about pay, conduct, working conditions, cancellations, or anything else arising from an actual engagement are between the school and the teacher to resolve — we're not responsible for mediating or being a party to them, though we may assist in good faith where we reasonably can.
8. Intellectual property
The Service itself — its design, code, branding, and content we create — belongs to Sub-a-Saint or our licensors. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works from it outside of ordinary use of the Service.
9. Third-party services
The Service relies on third-party providers, including Stripe (payments), Supabase (hosting and data storage), Resend (email delivery), and Expo, Apple and Google (push notifications and app distribution). Your use of features that rely on these providers may also be subject to their own terms.
10. Availability and changes to the Service
We aim to keep the Service available and working well, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may change, add, or remove features from time to time, including the notification and reminder features that depend on scheduled infrastructure we control.
11. Disclaimers and liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and we exclude all liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of it, including loss arising from a shift not being filled, a teacher or school engagement not proceeding as expected, or any inaccuracy in information a user has provided. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that can't lawfully be excluded. Where our liability can be limited, it's limited, at our option, to re-supplying the Service or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss, or expense arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Service, or content you provide, except to the extent caused by our own negligence or breach of these terms.
13. Suspension and termination
You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We can suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, poses a risk to others, or where we're required to by law — we'll generally try to give notice and a chance to resolve the issue first, except where the situation requires acting immediately (for example, a genuine safety concern).
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We'll update the "last updated" date above, and let you know of any change we consider material. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
