Any waiver of any of our rights under these Terms is not effective unless in writing signed by our authorised representative. Any failure or delay by us in exercising a right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our rights. Any waiver by us will only waive our particular rights in the particular circumstances and will not waive any of our other rights, or the same rights in other circumstances.

If any clause of these Terms is illegal, void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that clause (including any subclauses, in whole or part in each instance and as the case may be) may be severed for the purpose of that jurisdiction only and the remainder of these Terms continues in full force and effect in that jurisdiction.

Access to or use of certain areas and features of the Website, Application and/or Platform may be subject to separate policies, standards, terms or guidelines, or may require you to accept additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific area of the Website, Application and/or Platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence in respect to your access to or use of that area or feature, unless specified otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms creates a relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment or agency.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. Terms will be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Queensland, Australia;
  2. where you may have a dispute or claim against us, you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland, Australia and any courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts; and
