Terms of Use

Last updated: 29 September 2026

These terms apply to your use of the Setout app and the website at setoutapp.co.nz. By using Setout you agree to them. Setout is operated by Setout Holdings Limited.

What Setout is

Setout is a set of calculators and job tools for people working in construction. It is a calculation aid. It is not engineering, building surveying, legal or accounting advice.

Calculations are a guide only

Results depend on the numbers you enter and on the assumptions built into each calculator. Compliance notes in the app are a reference only and may not reflect the latest version of the National Construction Code, the New Zealand Building Code, related standards, manufacturer specifications or your local council's requirements. Always check your results against the current requirements and the advice of a qualified professional before you cut, order or build.

Subscription and free trial

New users get a 14-day free trial. After that, Setout costs $1.99 per week (priced in your local currency in the App Store). Subscriptions are billed and managed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. You can cancel at any time in your store account settings, and cancelling stops future charges but does not refund charges already made. Refunds are handled by the store under its own policy.

Receipts and records

Features like receipts and the tool log are record-keeping aids. You are responsible for checking that any record you share with your accountant or anyone else is accurate and meets your legal and tax obligations.

Using Setout

Don't copy, reverse engineer or resell the app, and don't use it in a way that breaks the law. We may update, change or discontinue features from time to time.

Ownership

Setout, its design and its content belong to us or our licensors. You keep ownership of the data you enter and save.

Limits on our liability

Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act where those rights can't be excluded. Subject to that, and to the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for losses arising from reliance on calculation results, including material waste, rework, or building defects, or for indirect or consequential loss.

Apple and Google

If you download Setout from the Apple App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. Apple and Google are not responsible for the app or for supporting it.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, without limiting any consumer rights you have under the laws of the country where you live.
