Terms of Service
Last updated: 5 April 2026
Important: Snagger is a comprehension aid only. It does not conduct building inspections and does not provide professional building, legal, or financial advice. Always consult a licensed professional before making any property purchasing decision.
1. About Snagger
Snagger is operated by DVF Labs trading as Snagger ("we", "us", "our"), an Australian company.
Snagger is an AI-powered software service that helps Australian property buyers understand the contents of building and pest inspection reports prepared by licensed building inspectors under Australian Standard AS4349. We translate complex inspection terminology into plain English.
For questions about these Terms, contact us at support@dvflabs.com.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account or using Snagger, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use Snagger.
These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and DVF Labs under the laws of Australia.
3. Eligibility and Account Registration
- You must be at least 18 years of age to use Snagger.
- You must be an Australian resident or be uploading an Australian property inspection report.
- You must provide accurate registration information including a valid email address.
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
- You must not share your account or allow others to access Snagger using your credentials.
- One account per person. We may terminate duplicate or fraudulent accounts.
4. The Service
Snagger provides two service tiers:
Free Snapshot
Upon uploading a supported PDF inspection report, you will receive at no charge:
- Total issue count by severity category (Critical, Moderate, Minor, Investigate)
- An overall condition summary sentence
- Up to five questions to ask your building inspector based on your specific report
Full Analysis (paid)
Upon payment, you will receive a complete AI-generated analysis of your report including:
- Every defect identified in the report, explained in plain English
- Severity rating for each finding
- The trade specialist recommended for each issue
- A three-step action plan per finding
- Specific questions to ask your inspector per finding
- Links to trade quote services (hipages and ServiceSeeking)
- A downloadable PDF summary
One payment covers one property. It includes analysis of up to two PDF files relating to the same property (for example, a separate building report and pest report). A second property requires a new payment.
Supported Report Types
Snagger currently supports Australian Standard AS4349 building inspection reports, pest inspection reports, and combined building and pest inspection reports. Strata reports and other document types are not currently supported. If you upload an unsupported document, no payment will be requested and your file will be deleted.
AI-Powered Analysis
Snagger's analysis is generated by artificial intelligence (Anthropic's Claude model). AI analysis is based solely on the text content of your uploaded report. It may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations. You acknowledge that AI-generated content is not infallible and should be verified with a qualified professional.
5. Payment Terms
Payments are processed securely by Stripe Inc., a third-party payment processor. DVF Labs does not store or have access to your credit card or bank account details. By making a payment you also agree to Stripe's terms of service.
- All prices are in Australian dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable.
- We may change our prices at any time. The price that applies to your purchase is the price displayed at the time you confirm payment. Price changes do not affect payments already made.
- The fee for full analysis is the price displayed at checkout, per property.
- Payment is charged at the time you click "Unlock full analysis".
- Your payment confirmation and receipt will be emailed to you by Stripe.
- The descriptor on your bank statement will read "Snagger" or "DVF Labs".
Delivery
Your full analysis is a digital service delivered immediately upon payment confirmation. It is typically available in your account within 60 seconds of payment. In rare cases of technical processing delays, delivery may take up to 15 minutes. If your analysis has not appeared within 15 minutes, contact us via the contact page and we will investigate promptly. No physical goods are supplied.
6. Refund Policy
Snagger provides a digital service. Once your full analysis has been successfully generated and delivered to your account, the fee is non-refundable. By completing payment you acknowledge that you are purchasing a digital service that is provided immediately upon payment and consent to the immediate supply of that service.
Nothing in this policy excludes any consumer guarantee rights you hold under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
The only circumstance in which a refund is available
A refund will be issued only if our system fails to generate and deliver your analysis AND our automatic retry process is also unable to resolve the failure within 5 business days of your payment. In that event, a full refund will be issued to your original payment method.
If you were charged but a system error prevented your analysis from being triggered at all, you will receive a full refund.
Refunds are not available for
- Change of mind or decision not to proceed with a property purchase
- Dissatisfaction with AI-generated content, including disagreement with findings, severity ratings, or recommendations — the nature and limitations of AI analysis are disclosed in section 7
- The inspection report containing fewer defects than expected
- Uploading an incorrect or unsupported document — no payment is taken unless your document is successfully classified as a supported report type
- Any reason other than a verified failure to deliver the analysis as described above
To report a delivery failure, contact us via the contact page with your account email and payment date. We will respond within 2 business days.
7. AI Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The analysis provided by Snagger:
