Terms of Service

Last updated: May 19, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the PR Notify Slack app and the hosted service operated by Sunshine Techworks (ABN 59 640 794 044) at sunshinetech.com.au and pr-notify-api.sunshinetech.com.au. By installing or using PR Notify you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By installing PR Notify into a Slack workspace, by linking your GitHub account via /pr-notify link, or by otherwise using the app, you accept these Terms and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not install or use PR Notify.

If you are installing PR Notify on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms and that "you" in these Terms includes both you and that organisation.

2. About PR Notify

PR Notify is a Slack app that delivers personalised GitHub pull request notifications via direct message. It is operated by Sunshine Techworks. Use of the hosted service is currently free of charge.

3. Eligibility and accounts

• Workspace installation must be performed by a Slack workspace administrator or by a user authorised to install apps on behalf of the workspace.
• To link a GitHub account, you must own the account or be authorised to represent it.
• You must be at least 18 years old.

4. Acceptable use

When using PR Notify you agree that you will not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the inner workings of the hosted service (this restriction applies to the hosted service only; the source code is separately available under the open source license described in section 8).
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service, or attempt to circumvent any security or authentication mechanism.
• Link a GitHub username that you do not own or that you are not authorised to represent.
• Use the app to send unsolicited messages, to harass, spam, defame, or otherwise harm any person.
• Use the app in a way that breaches the Slack Terms of Service, the GitHub Terms of Service, any applicable law, or any contractual obligation you owe to a third party (including your employer).
• Use the app to transmit malware, viruses, or any other harmful code.
• Resell, rent, sublicense, or otherwise commercialise the hosted service.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the service or the data contained in it.

5. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• Keeping your Slack workspace installation secure, including managing which users in your workspace have administrative access.
• Ensuring continued compliance with the Slack and GitHub Terms of Service while using PR Notify.
• Linking only GitHub usernames that you own or that you are authorised to represent.
• Promptly notifying us at support@sunshinetech.com.au if you become aware of unauthorised access to your account, a security vulnerability, or any misuse of the app.
• The acts and omissions of users in your Slack workspace who interact with PR Notify.

6. Service availability and limitations

• PR Notify is provided to you free of charge on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee any specific uptime, response time, or message delivery rate.
• We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the service, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including operational, legal, security, or commercial.
• We may apply rate limits, usage quotas, or other technical restrictions at our discretion to keep the service stable and available to all users.
• The service depends on third-party platforms including Amazon Web Services, Slack, and GitHub. Outages, changes, deprecations, or limitations imposed by those platforms are outside our control and may affect the availability or functionality of PR Notify.
• We may release updates that change features or behaviour of the app.

7. Privacy

Our collection, storage, and use of data are described in the PR Notify Privacy Policy. By using PR Notify you also agree to the practices set out in that policy.

8. Open source and self-hosting

The source code for PR Notify is published at github.com/sunshine-techworks/pr-notifier under the Business Source License 1.1 (BSL 1.1). The rights granted by the BSL, including any Additional Use Grant, are set out in the LICENSE file in that repository.

These Terms of Service govern only the hosted service operated by Sunshine Techworks. They do not apply to copies of PR Notify that you or anyone else runs independently; only the BSL 1.1 license governs those copies.

9. Intellectual property

• Sunshine Techworks retains all rights, title, and interest in the PR Notify name, logo, branding, marketing materials, documentation, and the hosted infrastructure.
• The source code is licensed under BSL 1.1 as described in section 8.
• We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the hosted service in accordance with these Terms.
• No other rights are granted by implication.

10. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• PR Notify is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, accuracy, completeness, or uninterrupted or error-free operation.
• We do not warrant that the service will be secure, free from defects, free from interruption, or that notifications will be delivered without delay or loss.
• You use the service at your own risk and are responsible for any decisions you make based on notifications you receive.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that you have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or any other consumer protection law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of Sunshine Techworks to you arising out of or relating to your use of PR Notify, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise, is limited to AUD $0 (zero Australian dollars). This reflects the fact that you pay no fees to use the service.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, data, revenue, business opportunity, reputation, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable consumer protection law.

12. Termination

• You may stop using PR Notify at any time by uninstalling the app from your Slack workspace, by clicking Unlink Account in the PR Notify App Home tab, or by running /pr-notify unlink. Data deletion behaviour following termination is described in the Privacy Policy.
• We may suspend or terminate your access to PR Notify at any time, with or without notice, where you breach these Terms, where we suspect misuse, where required by law, or for operational reasons.
• Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including sections 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15, will survive.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. For changes that materially reduce your rights or change your obligations, we will make a reasonable effort to notify Slack workspace administrators via an in-app message before the change takes effect. Your continued use of PR Notify after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

• These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
• You and Sunshine Techworks submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts entitled to hear appeals from them, for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or to PR Notify.
• If you are a consumer resident outside Australia, any mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence continues to apply to the extent it cannot be excluded by these Terms.
