Terms of Use

1. Who we are

Origae Pty Ltd (the Platform, we, us, our) is an Australian software company. The Platform is a workflow tool that helps a student (you) present a Recognition of Prior Learning case to an assessor of your choosing, typically from an Australian Registered Training Organisation (an RTO).

PriorLeap is not an RTO. PriorLeap is not registered with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). PriorLeap does not issue qualifications, statements of attainment, or any credentials recognised by ASQA. The Platform is aligned with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations and the assessment principles published by ASQA, but alignment is not registration and does not confer regulatory status.

2. Acceptance of these terms

By starting an application at /start, entering a share code at /join, downloading an outcome letter, or otherwise accessing or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

3. The Platform is a tool, not an assessment

The Platform provides a structured workflow for you to submit evidence, exchange written questions and answers with an assessor, and view a competency outcome recorded by that assessor. The competency outcome itself is the decision of the assessor (and, where applicable, of the RTO they act on behalf of), not PriorLeap. We do not validate, audit, or guarantee the correctness of any outcome recorded through the Platform.

Whether any qualification, statement of attainment, or credit is ultimately awarded to you is entirely a matter for the RTO and is subject to that RTO own policies, fees, audit, and ASQA compliance obligations. PriorLeap plays no role in that decision and gives no representation that any RTO will accept, recognise, or act on material exchanged through the Platform.

4. Use at your own risk · AS IS, AS AVAILABLE

You use the Platform entirely at your own risk. The Platform and every feature within it is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, PriorLeap makes no representations or warranties (express, implied, statutory, or otherwise) about:

• the accuracy, completeness, reliability, currency, or trustworthiness of any content, suggestion, or AI generated text produced through the Platform;
• the fitness of the Platform for any particular purpose, including for ASQA, regulator, employer, or RTO submission;
• whether any RTO, employer, licensing body, or third party will recognise, accept, or act on an application, outcome letter, or any other artefact produced through the Platform;
• the availability, security, performance, or uninterrupted operation of the Platform;
• the conduct, qualifications, identity, or decisions of any assessor, RTO, or other person who accesses your application via a share code you have provided.

You acknowledge that the Platform is software, not legal, regulatory, vocational, or career advice, and you will not rely on it as such. You agree to obtain your own independent advice (legal, regulatory, training, or otherwise) before acting on any output of the Platform.

5. AI generated content

The Platform includes features that produce AI generated text for evidence descriptions, conversation answers, assessor questions, and assessor decision notes. AI output is machine generated, unverified, and may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or invent details that you did not provide. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and accepting any AI generated text before submitting or sending it. PriorLeap accepts no responsibility for the content of any AI generated suggestion you choose to use.

6. Your responsibilities as a student

You agree that you will:

• provide only true, complete, and accurate information about yourself and your experience;
• not submit evidence, conversation responses, or material that is false, misleading, fraudulent, infringes another person rights, or breaches any law;
• not share your access code with any person other than an assessor you have personally chosen to review your application;
• not attempt to access, probe, scan, or otherwise interfere with the Platform security, infrastructure, or the data of any other user;
• not use the Platform to send spam, harass any person, or otherwise misuse the question and answer features;
• not use the Platform for any commercial purpose other than progressing your own genuine RPL application.

You accept that any consequence of a fraudulent or inaccurate submission, including any disciplinary or legal action by the receiving RTO, ASQA, or an employer, is your responsibility and not PriorLeap.

7. Your responsibilities as an assessor

If you access the Platform as an assessor (whether through a share code given to you by a student, an assessor session issued at /join, or any other means), you warrant and agree that:

• you are qualified to assess the student against the relevant unit of competency, including holding any current credential required by the Standards for Registered Training Organisations or by the RTO you act for;
• any name, title, or organisational affiliation you display on the Platform is true and current;
• the competency decision you record is your own professional judgement, made on the evidence and conversation responses available to you, against the published unit specifications;
• you are responsible for retaining your own records of the assessment in line with your RTO obligations;
• you will not record a decision, sign off, or otherwise hold yourself out as an assessor on the Platform unless you are authorised to do so by an RTO or by the student;
• you will not share the student access code or any extracted material with any person who does not have the student permission to view it;
• you indemnify PriorLeap against any claim arising from a decision you record, a sign off you complete, or any representation you make on the Platform.

PriorLeap does not credential assessors and does not verify the qualifications of any person accessing the Platform as an assessor. The student bears the consequence of who they choose to give their access code to. The assessor bears the consequence of any decision they record.

8. Share codes and assessor access

When you request an access code through the Platform, that code authorises any holder of the code to view your application data and act as an assessor on it until the code expires (typically 14 days). You bear the full consequence of who you choose to share the code with. PriorLeap cannot revoke a code on your behalf for any person who already possesses it. We can only let an existing code expire, after which you may generate a new one.

9. Data retention and download

The Platform is intentionally short retention. In flight applications are automatically deleted after 30 days of inactivity. Completed applications and any unlocked outcome letter are deleted 30 days after unlock. Applications closed without progress are deleted 24 hours after the close out. It is your responsibility to download your outcome letter, evidence files, and any other material you wish to keep before the relevant retention window expires. PriorLeap has no obligation to recover, restore, or supply any data after the retention window has passed and accepts no liability for any loss flowing from your failure to download in time.

10. Fees

Use of the Platform itself, including the entire exchange between you and your nominated assessor, is provided to you at no charge. A one time charge applies only at the point you choose to unlock the official outcome letter for download. The amount is disclosed before any payment is taken. Any fees you may owe to the RTO or assessor for the underlying assessment, qualification, or credit transfer are entirely a matter between you and that party, and are not collected by PriorLeap.

11. Limitation of liability

Read this section carefully. It limits our liability to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and any equivalent state and territory legislation:

• PriorLeap, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and suppliers will not be liable to you or any other person for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary loss or damage, including loss of profits, loss of opportunity, loss of qualification recognition, loss of employment, lost income, reputational damage, or loss of data, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Platform.
• Where any non excludable guarantee under the ACL applies and is breached, our liability is, to the maximum extent permitted by law, limited at our option to: (a) resupplying the service or paying the cost of resupply; or (b) refunding any fees you have actually paid to PriorLeap in the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim.
• We are not liable for any act, omission, decision, fee, refusal, or delay of any RTO, assessor, third party RPL assessment outcome, or other third party (including ASQA, training.gov.au, payment processors, email providers, or hosting providers).

Nothing in these Terms purports to exclude or limit the application of any provision of the ACL where it would be unlawful for us to do so.

12. Indemnity

You indemnify PriorLeap, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and suppliers against any claim, demand, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal costs) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of or access to the Platform; (b) any breach by you of these Terms; (c) any material you submit through the Platform; (d) your conduct toward any other user; or (e) your sharing of an access code with any person.

13. Suspension and termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, without notice and without liability to you, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, that your use is fraudulent or abusive, or that suspension is necessary to protect the Platform, other users, or third parties.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Platform. The version in force at the time you submit an application, send a conversation response, or download an outcome letter is the version that governs that interaction. Continued use of the Platform after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New South Wales, Australia. You and PriorLeap submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts.

16. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PriorLeap in relation to the Platform.

17. Force majeure

PriorLeap will not be in breach of these Terms or liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms to the extent that the delay or failure is caused by an event beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, fire, flood, storm, earthquake, pandemic, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, strike, industrial action, government order, regulatory change, interruption of utilities, failure or unavailability of third party services (including hosting, payment, AI inference, or email providers), denial of service attack, or other cyber incident.

18. No third party reliance

The Platform is provided only to you, the individual or entity that has accepted these Terms by using the Platform. No third party (including any employer, RTO, licensing body, professional association, or regulator that receives an outcome letter or any other material produced through the Platform) is a party to or beneficiary of these Terms and no third party may rely on any output of the Platform as a representation by PriorLeap. Any decision a third party makes in reliance on Platform output is at that third party own discretion and risk.

19. Notices and electronic communications

You consent to receive notices, agreements, and other communications from us electronically (by email, by display on the Platform, or by other electronic means). Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.
