Terms of Sale
Version 2026-09-15. These terms apply to every sale 01Mind makes, to people and to software agents.
1. Who sells
1.1 01Mind is a registered business name of Ian Charles Heffernan, a sole trader in Australia, ABN 36 557 232 677. There is no company behind 01Mind. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean him, trading as 01Mind.
1.2 You can reach us at 01mind@01mind.net.
1.3 These terms apply to every sale we make at 01mind.net and through our agent channels: the website's own routes, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the Agent2Agent protocol (A2A) and the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP). "You" means the buyer, as section 3 explains.
2. What these terms cover
2.1 These terms cover the digital products and services we sell, including reference documents and reports written with AI, document rendering, legal research questions and email sending. Our catalogue at 01mind.net/catalogue shows what is for sale now, and its price.
2.2 They also cover what we offer free: a free API key and its monthly document allowance, free dry runs, free reports offered by redemption, and taking part in our research studies. The clauses about payment do not apply to free offerings.
2.3 Software we license under a separate written agreement is governed by that agreement, not by these terms.
2.4 Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information, and applies alongside these terms.
3. Agents as buyers
3.1 Many of our buyers are software agents. An agent that buys from us acts for the person or organisation that operates it or controls the wallet it pays from. That person or organisation is the buyer, and is bound by these terms.
3.2 Paying is accepting. When you pay for a listing, you accept these terms as they stand at the moment of payment. No account, signature or separate contract is needed.
3.3 The wallet that pays is how we know the buyer. A purchase belongs to that wallet, and collecting it requires proof that you control that wallet (clause 5.2).
3.4 You are responsible for what your agent does through us in your name, including what it buys and what it sends, and for keeping your wallet's keys secure.
3.5 We keep a record of each sale: the transaction, the listing, the paying wallet, the price, the time and the version of these terms that applied.
4. Prices, payment and GST
4.1 Our prices are in US dollars. The price you pay is the price in the payment request for your purchase. A later change to a price does not affect a purchase already made.
4.2 You pay in USDC on the Base network, either through the x402 payment protocol or through the Agent Commerce Protocol's escrow. We do not take card payments.
4.3 A payment is complete when it settles on the network. Any network fee is yours.
4.4 01Mind is registered for GST in Australia. Where GST applies to a sale, the amount in the payment request includes it. We may add GST to our prices for buyers in Australia; if we do, the payment request will show the full amount, including GST, before you pay. A sale to a buyer outside Australia is generally GST-free.
4.5 If you need a tax invoice, email us with the transaction and we will issue one.
5. Delivery and collecting again
5.1 Through MCP, A2A and the Agent Commerce Protocol, what you buy is delivered in the same exchange as your payment.
5.2 Through our website's routes, you pay at /purchase and collect at /execute. To collect, you sign a short message with the wallet that paid. The response to your payment gives the exact message.
5.3 A purchase does not expire. A reference document or report you have bought can be collected again, by the wallet that paid, at no further charge.
5.4 Some purchases are used up when used: one purchase covers one rendered document, one legal research question or one email. A request that fails does not use up the purchase.
5.5 Documents we render are returned to you in the same response, and we do not keep a copy.
5.6 Withdrawing a listing from sale stops new sales. It does not cancel a purchase already made: we will still deliver it, or, if we cannot, section 6 applies.
6. When something goes wrong
6.1 Our products and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes those guarantees, or any other right you have by law that cannot be excluded.
6.2 If you paid and did not receive what you bought, or it arrived broken, or it can no longer be delivered, email us at 01mind@01mind.net quoting the transaction. We will deliver it, or refund the price in USDC to the wallet that paid, within 10 business days of your email.
6.3 A request we decline under clause 8.3 is not charged. If a payment ever settles for a request we decline or cannot complete, clause 6.2 applies.
6.4 We do not give refunds for a change of mind. That does not limit clause 6.1 or 6.2.
6.5 Payment and delivery depend on networks we do not run, such as the Base network and the Agent Commerce Protocol. We are not in breach of these terms for a delay one of them causes, but clause 6.2 still applies.
7. What you get, AI, and advice
7.1 Many of our products are written with AI (Anthropic's Claude), and each one says so: "Written with AI (Anthropic's Claude). Check any factual claim independently before relying on it."
7.2 Our compliance packs, reports and legal research answers are general reference material. They are not legal, tax, financial, compliance or other professional advice, and are not tailored to your circumstances.
7.3 Charon, Orpheus and the other agents you meet at 01Mind are AI agents, not people.
7.4 A document you render from your own content is yours.
7.5 A reference document, report or answer you buy is for your own use and your organisation's. You may quote from it, but you may not resell, republish or redistribute it in whole or in substantial part.
8. Acceptable use and protective measures
8.1 You will not use 01Mind, or have an agent use it:
(a) to break any law, including the Spam Act 2003 and the laws that apply where an email's recipient is;
(b) to send email to anyone who has not agreed to receive it, or email that harasses, deceives or impersonates;
(c) to hide instructions in content to try to direct our systems or agents, or otherwise to attack, probe or overload our systems;
(d) to get around payment, metering, allowances or rate limits, including by using a wallet or API key that is not yours; or
(e) to process personal information you have no right to process.
8.2 Every email sent through us carries a footer naming 01Mind and the wallet that sent it.
8.3 We screen requests to protect our buyers and our systems. We may decline, limit or block a request, wallet, API key or origin we reasonably believe breaches clause 8.1, and we will not always say why.
9. Liability
9.1 Nothing in this section limits clause 6.1, or any liability the law does not allow to be limited.
9.2 Where the Australian Consumer Law allows us to limit our liability for failing to meet a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited, at our choice, to supplying the product or service again or refunding its price.
9.3 Otherwise, to the extent the law allows, our total liability for a purchase is limited to the price you paid for it, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profits, lost data or lost opportunity.
9.4 To the extent the law allows, we have no liability for what we offer free.
10. Records and privacy
10.1 Besides the sale record in clause 3.5, we keep a record of each legal research question and the start of its answer, and of each email's recipient and subject, so we can handle disputes and misuse. We do not keep the body of an email you send.
10.2 We keep a request we decline under clause 8.3 for up to 72 hours, so we can check the decision was right.
10.3 Wallet addresses and transactions are public on the blockchain by design.
10.4 Our Privacy Policy explains everything else about how we handle personal information, and how to ask us about it.
11. Changes, disputes and governing law
11.1 We may update these terms. An update applies to purchases made after we publish it, and never changes a purchase already made. Each version shows its date.
11.2 If you have a complaint, email us first and we will respond within 10 business days. This does not stop you going to a consumer protection agency or a court.
11.3 These terms are governed by the law of Victoria, Australia, and the courts of Victoria may hear any dispute. If you are a consumer in another country, the consumer laws of that country that cannot be excluded still apply to you.
11.4 If any part of these terms is invalid, the rest still applies.
