Lawful Use
You may only use the Online Services for lawful purposes, and must ensure that your use of the Online Services does not breach any laws that apply to you.
Not Legal Advice
The information on our website is general information only and is not legal advice, nor does it create a (express or implied) client-solicitor relationship between Vic Legal Conveyancing and you. You should not rely upon the information on our website without obtaining specific legal advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
Disclaimer
While we endeavour to ensure that information provided on our website is accurate, complete, up-to-date and reliable, we do not warrant that this will be the case or that your access to the information will always be uninterrupted, timely or secure.
We do not attempt or purport to exclude any liability arising under statute if, and to the extent, that liability cannot be lawfully excluded.
However, we exclude to the extent lawfully permitted all liability for any loss or damage of whatever kind (including consequential or incidental damage) and however arising (including due to negligence) that you may suffer, directly or indirectly, in connection with your use of our website or any associated or linked Online Services. In particular, we exclude all liability for any loss or damage that may result from your use of, or reliance upon, any information or material obtained from our website.
We exclude all implied conditions and warranties except any implied condition or warranty the exclusion of which would cause this clause to be void (“Non-excludable Condition”). Our liability to you for breach of any Non-excludable Condition (other than implied by the Australian Consumer Law (Cth)) is limited, at our option, to supplying the relevant services again or paying the cost of re-supplying those services, except where the services are of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption.
