Terms & Conditions

Effective date: 13 August 2026 (version 2.0)

These Terms cover your use of the Nature Layer platform (the “Platform”), run by Land Generation Pty Ltd (ACN 667 894 966), trading as Nature Layer (“we”, “us”, “our”). By using the Platform you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform. You must be at least 18 years old, or have the authority to act for the business or entity you represent.

The short version

  • Exploring and the Initial Desktop Assessment are free. You only pay, and only sign in, when you order a paid assessment.
  • Our assessments are estimates from automated modelling. Treat them as a rigorous starting point, not a guarantee, and get independent advice before committing to a carbon project.
  • Not happy with a paid report? Tell us within 14 days and we will refund you in full.
  • Your data stays yours. The Platform stays ours.
  • Nothing in these Terms takes away your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

1. What the Platform does

The Platform helps you work out whether carbon farming could stack up on a property. It offers:

  • Exploring: public carbon and environmental data layers you can browse at a national level, free.
  • Initial Desktop Assessment: a free, automated assessment of a property you nominate, with a report we can email to you.
  • Paid assessments: deeper analysis, such as a Detailed Desktop Assessment, that you can order for a property.

2. Using the Platform without an account

You do not need an account to explore, add a property, or run a free Initial Desktop Assessment. You only need to sign in when you order a paid assessment. Until then:

  • Your properties and results are tied to your browser session. If you give us your email for a report, we can help you get back to them later.
  • Some features give you a property code or a link in your report that reopens your property. Treat these like keys: anyone who has your code or link may be able to open a copy of that property and its results. Do not post them publicly.

3. Accounts and signing in

When you create an account, you can sign in with an emailed link, with Google, or with a password. You agree to:

  • Give us accurate information.
  • Keep control of the email account you sign in with. A sign-in link sent to your email is as good as a key to your account, so protect that inbox.
  • Tell us promptly if you think someone else has accessed your account.
  • Not let others use your account as if they were you.

4. What you can and cannot do

You may use the Platform to:

  • Explore public data layers.
  • Assess properties you own, manage, or have authority to assess (for example, as an advisor acting for a client).
  • Share results with your advisors, family, bank, or business partners, and collaborate through workspace features.

You must not:

  • Use the Platform unlawfully, or to mislead anyone.
  • Misrepresent who you are or your authority to assess a property.
  • Scrape, bulk-download, or reverse-engineer the Platform or its data beyond its intended use.
  • Interfere with the Platform’s security or other people’s use of it.

If you give us information about someone else (like a client’s email address to send them a report), you confirm you have their permission.

5. Paid assessments, payment, and refunds

  • Prices are shown in Australian dollars and include GST.
  • Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
  • We aim to deliver paid reports within the timeframe shown when you order. If something holds a report up, we will tell you.
  • Our guarantee: not happy with your report? Tell us within 14 days and we will refund you in full.

This guarantee is in addition to, and does not limit, your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

6. What our assessments are, and what they are not

Our assessments are estimates, produced by automated modelling and AI applied to your property boundary, satellite imagery, and public datasets. They are built to be a rigorous starting point for your decision, and we stand behind the method. But no model sees everything on the ground, and conditions on your property may differ from what the data shows.

For that reason:

  • Assessment outputs (carbon yield, rainfall, soil, earnings estimates) are indicative, not guaranteed.
  • Nothing on the Platform is professional advice: not financial product advice, not legal advice, not agronomic advice. Carbon credit prices and scheme rules change, and a carbon project is a long-term commitment.
  • Before committing money or land to a carbon project, get independent advice from people licensed or qualified to give it.

In particular: any figures about likely carbon credits, prices, or earnings are general information only. They do not take into account your personal or financial circumstances, and nothing on the Platform is a recommendation to buy, sell, generate, or deal in carbon credits or any other financial product. Before you commit money or land, get advice from someone licensed to give it.

7. Your data and our intellectual property

Yours: you own the information you give us, including your property boundaries and notes. You give us permission to use that information to run the Platform for you, as described in our Privacy Policy. We may also use de-identified, aggregated data (which cannot identify you or your property) to improve the Platform.

Ours: the Platform itself, including its design, code, data models, AI systems, and branding, is owned by or licensed to Land Generation Pty Ltd. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it under these Terms. Your reports are yours to keep and share.

8. Our liability to you

Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies those rights.

Where the law lets us limit our liability, we limit it to redoing the service or paying the cost of having it redone. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for:

  • Indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the Platform.
  • Financial loss from treating assessment outputs as more certain than the estimates section 6 describes, including losses from carbon project decisions.
  • Interruptions or failures of the Platform caused by things outside our reasonable control.

Where we can cap our liability, we cap it at what you paid us in the twelve months before your claim, or $100, whichever is more. This cap does not apply to loss caused by us misleading you, or to any other liability the law says cannot be limited.

9. Ending your use of the Platform

You can stop using the Platform at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account and data by emailing hello@naturelayer.com.au. We will handle deletion as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms, or if we discontinue the Platform. Where reasonably practicable we will give you notice first, and ending access does not take away rights you have already earned (like a refund you are owed).

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change matters, we will tell you by email or a notice in the Platform before it takes effect. If you keep using the Platform after that, the new Terms apply. If you do not agree with a change, stop using the Platform and, if you wish, ask us to delete your data.

11. General

If a court finds part of these Terms invalid, the rest still applies. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Platform. We may transfer our rights under these Terms if our business is sold or restructured; your rights are unaffected. Sections that by their nature should continue (such as sections 7 and 8) keep applying after you stop using the Platform.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and disputes under them are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland.
