These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "your") and Launch Lab Pty Ltd (ABN 11 603 903 868), trading as auspol.ai ("we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website at auspol.ai, the auspol.ai application, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service. We recommend that you print or save a copy of these Terms for your records.

2. Description of Service

• Hansard Podcast — a general AI-generated audio podcast of parliamentary proceedings.
• Hansard Chat — an AI-powered conversational interface for querying parliamentary transcripts.

The content generated by the Service is produced by artificial intelligence and is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, political, or professional advice. While we endeavour to ensure accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. You should always verify information against official parliamentary records.
