Terms and conditions: change history
This page records changes to the Curia Contract Review terms and conditions, including any change that has been notified but has not yet taken effect.
The current terms and conditions in force are always those shown in the Curia application at the point of acceptance. This page is a record and notice page only. Where there is any inconsistency between this page and the terms and conditions in the application, the terms in the application prevail.
Where a change has been notified, continued use of the Software on or after its effective date constitutes acceptance of the varied terms. If you do not accept a notified change, you may terminate your agreement without penalty by giving written notice before that change takes effect, as set out in the terms and conditions.
Changes are listed below with the most recent first. Each entry shows the date the change was notified to customers and the date it takes effect.
Publication of aggregated, deidentified insights, and a revised amendment process
Effective: 27/08/2026
Notified: 27/07/2026
This change is a Material Variation. At least 30 days' notice is being given before it takes effect. The full wording of the new and amended clauses is set out at the end of this entry.
Why we are making this change
One of the most common questions we hear from customers is some version of "is my volume up or down compared to the industry, or is the first home buyer market quiet?" Until now, we haven't been able to answer those. This change lets us produce network-level insights, activity trends, common issues, so every firm using Curia can see how their practice sits against the broader picture. These insights need the whole of network view to be accurate and meaningful, which is why they operate at the aggregate level.
The same aggregated view also improves the platform itself. It lets us identify what a typical contract looks like across the network, which in turn makes Curia sharper at flagging the unusual ones and benefits every customer directly.
Clause 21.8 (Uploaded Information): publication of aggregated insights
A new clause 21.8(a)(v) sets out a right for Curia to derive aggregated and deidentified insights, statistics and analytics from Uploaded Information, and to use, publish and disclose them to third parties in any form, including industry reports, benchmarks and public publications.
A new clause 21.8(f) limits how that right can be used. Anything published or disclosed must be aggregated and deidentified so that it neither identifies, nor is reasonably capable of being used to identify, you, any individual client of yours, any specific contract or any specific property.
Clause 29.5 (Amendments) has been replaced
Clause 29.5 now sets out a two-tier process for how the terms and conditions can change.
Where a change does not reduce your rights, increase your obligations or increase the Fees, it can take effect as soon as the updated terms are made available in Curia. Your continued use of the Software, and your acceptance of the updated terms where you are prompted to do so in Curia, constitutes acceptance.
Where a change does reduce your rights, increase your obligations or increase the Fees, it is a Material Variation. You will receive at least 30 days' notice before it takes effect, given by email to your Notified Email Address or by notification in Curia or on the website. From the effective date, the varied terms apply if you continue to use Curia or continue to hold an active account, whether or not you have signed in during that period. If you do not accept a Material Variation, you may terminate your agreement without penalty by giving written notice before the effective date.
A change to the Fees made under clause 3.1 continues to be governed by that clause and is not a Material Variation.
What you need to do
Nothing, if you accept the change. From 27 August 2026, continued use of Curia, or continuing to hold an active account, constitutes acceptance.
If you do not accept the change, you may terminate your agreement without penalty by giving written notice before 27 August 2026.
The new wording
Amendments to clause 21.8
21.8(a) is amended by adding a new sub-paragraph (v):
(v) deriving aggregated and deidentified insights, statistics and analytics from Uploaded Information, and using, publishing and disclosing those aggregated and deidentified insights, statistics and analytics to third parties in any form, including industry reports, benchmarks, and public publications.
A new sub-clause 21.8(f) is inserted, following 21.8(e):
(f) Any aggregated and deidentified insights, statistics and analytics published or disclosed under clause 21.8(a)(v) will be aggregated and deidentified so as not to identify, and so as not to be reasonably capable of being used to identify, the Customer, any individual client of the Customer, any specific contract, or any specific property.
Clause 21.8(c) is amended to read:
(c) The Service Provider's right to use Uploaded Information for the purposes set out in this clause, and the Service Provider's rights in respect of any aggregated and deidentified insights, statistics and analytics derived from Uploaded Information under clause 21.8(a)(v), continues even after your account is terminated or cancelled;
29.5 Amendments
(a) The Service Provider may vary the terms of this Agreement from time to time in accordance with this clause 29.5.
(b) Where a variation does not reduce the Customer's rights, increase the Customer's obligations, or increase the Fees, the variation may take effect immediately upon the updated terms being made available within the Software. The Customer's continued use of the Software, and acceptance of the updated terms where prompted to do so within the Software, will constitute acceptance of the varied terms.
(c) Where a variation reduces the Customer's rights, increases the Customer's obligations, or increases the Fees (a Material Variation), the Service Provider will provide the Customer with at least 30 days' prior notice of the variation before it takes effect. Notice may be given by email to the Notified Email Address or by notification through the Software or Website.
(d) A Material Variation takes effect on its effective date and applies to the Customer from that date where, on or after that date, the Customer:
(i) continues to use the Software or Services; or
(ii) continues to hold an active account with the Service Provider, whether or not the Customer accesses the Software during that period.
If the Customer does not accept a Material Variation, the Customer may terminate this Agreement without penalty by giving written notice to the Service Provider before the effective date of the variation.
(e) A change to the Fees made in accordance with clause 3.1 is governed by that clause and is not a Material Variation for the purposes of this clause 29.5.
Data sources attribution: Victorian spatial data
Effective: 01/07/2026
Schedule 1 (Data Sources Attribution) has been updated to acknowledge the spatial property data used in Curia, including Victorian Government cadastre data (Vicmap/DTP) and satellite imagery from Esri and Maxar. This change adds the attribution, licensing and disclaimer notices required for that data. It does not reduce any customer right or introduce any new customer obligation. No action is required to continue using Curia.
Broadened Authorised Purpose
Effective: 25/05/2026
The definition of Authorised Purpose has been updated so that it covers conveyancing across all Australian states and territories, rather than New South Wales only. This change broadens the scope of permitted use. It does not reduce any customer right or introduce any new customer obligation. No action is required to continue using Curia.
