Terms & Conditions

1. Who we are

Astor Holdings, Sydney, Australia. Contact: admin@astorholdings.com.au.

2. What Astor Holdings does

Astor Holdings is a self-service platform for property and planning intelligence. It aggregates public planning, land, and property data; monitors UK planning authority portals for applications near addresses you register; and provides tools for you to analyse sites, model development appraisals, and assemble your own reports and memos. Where possible we add AI-generated, plain-English summaries and analysis of the underlying data.

You operate these tools and draw your own conclusions. Astor Holdings does not act for you, does not arrange or broker any transaction or finance, and does not introduce you to any counterparty for commercial benefit.

3. Not regulated advice — Astor Holdings is not FCA-authorised

Astor Holdings is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The platform provides data, analysis, and modelling tools for your own use. Nothing on it constitutes regulated, financial, or investment advice, a personal recommendation, a credit or mortgage introduction, or an offer or invitation to enter into any financial transaction.

In particular, Astor Holdings does not:

• lend money, broker credit, or arrange finance of any kind;
• recommend a specific property, deal, lender, borrower, or counterparty;
• introduce borrowers to lenders, or sell leads, for commercial benefit;
• provide a valuation, an offer of finance, or financial, legal, or planning advice.

Risk scores, grades, appraisals, and indicative figures are analytical outputs, not buy/sell signals or recommendations. You should obtain your own independent professional advice before acting on anything you find here. The platform is intended for property professionals — developers, lenders, brokers, and landlords — using it in the course of their business.

4. Guide only — no guarantees — you assume responsibility

The platform is provided as a guide only and is not a substitute for professional legal, planning, financial, or property advice. We do not guarantee:

• that every planning application near a registered address will be detected (coverage depends on data publicly available from local planning authorities);
• the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data displayed or delivered — planning and property data may be delayed, incomplete, or incorrect;
• the accuracy of AI-generated summaries, analysis, or synthesis — these are produced automatically and may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations;
• that the service will be available continuously or without interruption;
• that alerts will be delivered within any specific timeframe.

You accept full responsibility for any decisions you make based on information from this service. You should never rely solely on Astor Holdings for legally or financially significant decisions. Always verify information directly with the relevant authority, and we strongly recommend obtaining independent professional advice before acting.

5. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. You must not share your account with others or use it to monitor addresses on behalf of third parties as a commercial service. You must provide a valid email address. You must be 18 or over to use this service.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the service for any unlawful purpose;
• attempt to access or scrape data beyond your own account;
• attempt to reverse-engineer or copy the service;
• submit false or misleading information;
• use the service in a way that could harm, disrupt, or overburden our systems.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms without notice.

7. Intellectual property

Planning and property data is public information sourced from local planning authorities, HM Land Registry, and other public registers, and belongs to those bodies (and is subject to Crown Copyright / Open Government Licence where applicable). AI-generated summaries, analysis, and digests produced by the platform are our property. The Astor Holdings software, branding, and design are owned by Astor Holdings and may not be copied or reused without permission.

8. Use of your data to improve the service

Where you have given explicit consent via your profile settings, we may use anonymised patterns from your usage (such as which planning applications you viewed or flagged as relevant) to train and improve our AI models for commercial purposes. We will never use your personal details, email address, or property addresses for this purpose. You may withdraw this consent at any time through your profile page without affecting the provision of the core service. Full details are set out in our Privacy Policy.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Astor Holdings shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from your use of the platform, including (but not limited to):

• missed planning applications or delayed alerts;
• inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading AI-generated content or planning and property data;
• financial loss, loss of property value, or missed investment opportunities;
• any decision made in reliance on information from this service;
• service interruptions or data loss.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising under or in connection with these terms shall not exceed £100. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law (including UK consumer protection legislation).

10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data and forms an integral part of these Terms and Conditions. By using the service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the service after that date constitutes acceptance of the new terms. The date at the top of this page always reflects when the terms were last updated.

12. Termination

You may delete your account at any time by emailing admin@astorholdings.com.au. We may also terminate or suspend the service at any time. On termination, your monitoring data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the law of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your home jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident in an EU member state, you may be entitled to bring claims under the laws of your country of residence.
