Removal of content

We reserve the right in our reasonable discretion to block, modify or remove any content (including any Materials or User Content) contained on the Sites without notice, and to the extent permitted by law, will not be liable in any way for possible consequences of such actions.

Materials

We may present information and content, including articles, opinions, information and commentary on the Sites (Materials).  The Materials are subject to the licence in clause 2.

Whilst we take reasonable steps to check and verify all information presented in the Materials, they are provided to you on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis.  We give no warranty, guarantee or representation about the accuracy, reliability or timeliness or otherwise of the Materials.

We are not responsible if the Materials are not accurate, complete or current.  The Materials are provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete or timelier sources of information, or without seeking professional advice. 

Any reliance on the Materials is at your own risk.

User Content

General

We do not claim ownership of any User Content.  Instead, you retain all right, title and ownership in and to your User Content and grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide and transferable licence to use the User Content, whether on the Sites, another platform we own or control or in any hardcopy form.

You consent to any act or omission which would otherwise constitute an infringement of your moral rights. If a third party has moral rights in your User Content, you must ensure the third party consents in the same manner.

We will not be responsible for verifying the accuracy or otherwise of the User Content.

We are not responsible or liable for the conduct of any user.

Security of content

We will take all reasonable steps to implement, maintain and enforce adequate security procedures and safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the User Content from unauthorised access or use by a third party or misuse, damage or destruction by any person.

However, given the nature of the internet, we do not guarantee and cannot ensure the security of User Content and to the maximum extent permitted by law expressly exclude liability for any such loss, however caused.

We recommend you take proactive means to protect your computer system from potential hazards by installing firewalls, anti-virus software and other security applications.

Prohibited content

You must not create or generate any User Content:

• unless you hold all necessary rights, licences and consents to do so;
• that would cause you or us to breach any applicable law, regulation, rule, code or other legal obligation;
• that we consider inappropriate, defamatory, offensive, abusive, indecent, illegal or disparaging;
•  that would bring us into disrepute; or
• that infringes the rights, including privacy and intellectual property rights, of any third party.

Third Party Links

The Sites may contain links to other websites owned and operated by third parties, which are not under our control (Third Party Links).  Inclusion of Third Party Links on the Sites is not an endorsement of those Third Party Links, or any organisation, good, or service.

We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy, and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any Third Party Links, or for any other materials, goods, or services of third parties.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any Third Party Links.  Please review carefully the third party’s policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction.  Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party goods or services should be directed to the third party.

Intellectual property rights

In this clause 6, “Intellectual Property Rights” means all intellectual property rights, including current and future registered and unregistered rights in respect of copyright, designs, circuit layouts, trade marks, trade secrets, know-how, confidential information, patents, invention and discoveries and all other intellectual property as defined in article 2 of the convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organisation 1967.

We or our licensors reserve all Intellectual Property Rights in respect of the Sites and the Materials (AF Legal Group IP).  Reproduction of the Sites, in whole or in part, including the copying of text, graphics or designs without our prior consent is strictly prohibited.

Nothing in these Terms constitutes a transfer of any Intellectual Property Rights and you acknowledge that other than the express licence granted to use the Sites in clause 2, you obtain no other rights in respect of the AF Legal Group IP.

Billing

Some of our Sites have billing functionalities, which allow you to securely pay your bills for our legal services.

To pay your bill to AF Legal Group, you must follow the instructions on the relevant Site and have a valid credit or debit card issued by a bank or credit union acceptable to our payment gateway providers, which include National Australia Bank Limited and St. George Bank, a Division of Westpac Banking Corporation. 

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate information for all bill payments. You agree to promptly update your information so that we can confirm your payment and contact you as required.

Termination of your access to the Sites

We may at any time immediately terminate or restrict your access to the Sites or any feature of the Sites where we reasonably suspect that you have breached these Terms.  We will aim to notify you next time you access the Sites (or if you are an existing client, by using the email address you have provided to us).

You may terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing to use the Sites.

Any indemnities given by you and any limitations of our liability in these Terms survive such termination, as well as any other provisions that would reasonably be expected to.

Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we:

• exclude all warranties, whether express or implied, including any warranties or representations concerning the availability of the Sites, quality, completeness, accuracy, suitability, acceptability or fitness for purpose in relation to the Sites, the Materials, any User Content, Third Party Links to or from the Sites and the services advertised or accessible on the Sites;

• exclude liability for special, indirect or consequential loss, including damages for loss or corruption of data or information, loss of or claim for, revenue, profits, actual or potential business opportunities or anticipated savings or profit.

Nothing in this clause limits any right that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify AF Legal Group for all losses, damages, liabilities, claims and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) incurred by us arising out of or in connection with your use and access of the Sites in material breach of these Terms.

Variation to the Terms

• We may vary, amend or otherwise modify the Terms in our sole discretion at any time (New Terms).
• We will publish the New Terms on the Sites, at which time they will be effective.
• It is your responsibility to check the Sites periodically for changes.  Your continued use of the Sites following posting of the New Terms constitutes your acceptance of the New Terms.

Severability

If any provision of the Terms is judged unenforceable or invalid in a jurisdiction, it is severed in that jurisdiction, but the severance of a provision will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions.

Jurisdiction and governing law

The Terms are governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of Victoria, Australia.

You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, Australia and the Commonwealth of Australia in respect of all matters arising out of or relating to the Terms.
