Terms of Service

Last updated: 10 September 2026

These terms form the agreement between you and AnteRoom for using our platform. Please read them before you use AnteRoom, book a consultation, or list your practice. If anything here doesn't make sense, get in touch via our Contact page before proceeding.

1. What AnteRoom is

AnteRoom is a triage and connection service. We help you understand your situation and connect you with independent, verified insolvency, restructuring, accounting, or legal professionals (practitioners). AnteRoom is not a party to any engagement you enter into with a practitioner, and we do not provide legal, financial, or professional advice.

2. Account registration

To book a consultation or list your practice, you need to create an account. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date, and you're responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account. Tell us straight away if you believe your account's been accessed without your permission. One account per person, please; don't create an account on behalf of someone else without their authority to do so.

3. For directors and other users

Information provided through AnteRoom, including triage results and any AI-generated summary, is general in nature and provided to help you decide whether and who to speak with. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional about your specific circumstances. You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, including anything shared through the triage questions or an uploaded document.

4. Connecting accounting software

If you choose to connect Xero, MYOB, or Manager.io, you authorise AnteRoom to access the financial reports made available through that connection (such as your profit and loss, balance sheet, and aged payables) for the sole purpose of generating a briefing for a practitioner you have booked a consultation with. You can disconnect at any time from your account settings, which stops any future access; it doesn't retract a briefing already generated and shared with a practitioner. AnteRoom doesn't verify the accuracy of the data your accounting software returns, that responsibility (and the accuracy of your own books) remains yours and your accounting software provider's, not ours. Your relationship with Xero, MYOB, or Manager.io is governed by their own terms, separately from these.

5. For practitioners

By listing your practice on AnteRoom, you confirm the registration and professional details you provide are accurate and current, and you remain solely responsible for your own professional, regulatory, and independence obligations in any matter you accept through AnteRoom. AnteRoom does not direct, supervise, or take responsibility for the professional services you provide.

AnteRoom charges practitioners a flat, recurring membership fee only. We do not charge per referral, per appointment, or any fee calculated on the value of a matter. Your fee does not affect your position in search results or whether you're shown to a director. Matching is based only on practitioner type, location, and the director's triage answers. See How We Work for the full detail, which you're welcome to cite directly in your own independence disclosure.

AnteRoom's founder is employed by an Australian insolvency advisory firm. That firm is permanently excluded from AnteRoom's practitioner network, and will not be listed or receive referrals under any circumstances.

Where a director has connected accounting software and generated a financial briefing ahead of your consultation with them, that briefing is factual background material only. It is not advice, does not diagnose insolvency or recommend a pathway, and does not substitute for your own review of the director's actual books before forming any professional opinion.

6. Fees for directors

The triage questions, matching, and booking a consultation are free for directors and other users. Any fee for the practitioner's own services is a matter between you and that practitioner, agreed separately and not through AnteRoom.

7. Acceptable use

Don't use AnteRoom to provide false information, impersonate someone else, attempt to access another user's information without permission, scrape or systematically extract data from the platform, or interfere with its normal operation.

8. Availability of the platform

We aim to keep AnteRoom available and working properly, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may suspend, restrict, or change any part of the platform, including a specific feature such as an accounting software connection, at any time, including for maintenance or if a third-party provider we rely on changes or withdraws their own service.

9. Third-party and practitioner information

Practitioner registration status shown on AnteRoom reflects the relevant public register (such as ASIC's register of registered liquidators) at the time we last checked it, and may not reflect real-time changes. We encourage you to independently verify a practitioner's current registration before engaging them. AnteRoom is not responsible for the accuracy of information a practitioner or a third-party service (including Xero, MYOB, or Manager.io) provides.

10. Intellectual property

AnteRoom and its content, branding, and underlying software belong to us or our licensors. You retain ownership of the information you submit (such as your triage answers, documents, or connected accounting data), and by submitting it you grant us a licence to use it for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy, including generating summaries and briefings and sharing them with a practitioner you've chosen to book with.

11. Suspension and termination

You can stop using AnteRoom and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, provides materially false information, or is used in a way that risks harming AnteRoom, its users, or its practitioner network, and we'll generally try to tell you why if we do.

12. Liability and indemnity

AnteRoom is provided on an "as is" basis. To the extent permitted by law, we're not liable for decisions made based on triage results or an AI-generated summary or briefing, for the conduct or advice of any practitioner you connect with through the platform, or for the accuracy of data retrieved from a connected accounting software provider. Nothing in these terms excludes a right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that can't lawfully be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify AnteRoom against any loss arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the platform.

13. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continuing to use AnteRoom after a change means you accept the updated terms. We'll update the "last updated" date above whenever we do.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia.
