Terms of Service

Effective 1 May 2026  ·  Edsthetic  ·  ABN 70 939 441 240
These terms govern your school's access to Writeiq and Allocateiq, operated by Edsthetic (ABN 70 939 441 240), Torquay, Victoria, Australia. By activating a licence key, your school agrees to these terms.

1. The services

Edsthetic provides two web-based software services: Writeiq (writing assessment) and Allocateiq (support staff timetabling and NCCD support). Access requires a current licence key issued by Edsthetic.

2. Licence grant

Subject to payment and these terms, Edsthetic grants your school a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the nominated product for the licence period. The licence is for a single school. Use across multiple campuses or under different ABNs requires a separate licence agreement.

Pilot licences are free, time-limited, and may be terminated by either party on 14 days notice.
