These terms govern your use of the Terra Australis Legal website. By using this website you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. They do not govern the provision of legal services — that is dealt with in a separate costs agreement entered into with you.
1. No legal advice, no solicitor–client relationship
The content of this website is general information only. It is not legal advice, it is not a substitute for legal advice, and it does not take account of your circumstances. Using this website, or sending us an email or enquiry through it, does not create a solicitor–client relationship. That relationship arises only once we have completed a conflict check, confirmed in writing that we are able to act, and you have signed a costs agreement.
2. Confidential material
Please do not send us confidential or sensitive material before we have confirmed that we are able to act for you. Until then, material you send is not protected by the duty of confidentiality owed to a client, and we may already act for another party with an interest in the matter.
3. Currency and accuracy
The law changes. While we take reasonable care in preparing the content of this site, we do not warrant that it is current, complete or accurate at the time you read it, and we are under no obligation to update it. Statements about time limits, court procedure and legislation are provided as general orientation only and may not apply to your matter.
4. Intellectual property
All content on this website — text, layout, graphics, the Terra Australis Legal name and logo — is owned by or licensed to Terra Australis Legal Pty Ltd and is protected by copyright and trade mark law. You may read, print and store content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, republish, adapt or distribute it for any other purpose without our prior written consent.
5. Third-party links
This site may link to third-party websites, including courts, tribunals and support services. Those links are provided for convenience. We do not control, endorse or accept responsibility for the content of any linked site.
6. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website or its content, including any interruption or unavailability of the site. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Liability of the firm is otherwise limited by a scheme approved under professional standards legislation.
7. Privacy
Personal information provided through this site is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
8. Changes
We may amend these terms at any time by publishing an updated version on this page. The version in force is the one published at the time you use the site.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and the courts of appeal from them.
