Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantees, warranties, or other rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable laws which cannot lawfully be excluded.

6. Australian Consumer Law

Our services are provided in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law. You may have certain rights under the ACL that cannot be excluded, including consumer guarantees that apply to the supply of goods and services.

These consumer guarantees include, but are not limited to:

For a minor failure, you are entitled to have problems rectified within a reasonable time and if this is not done, you may cancel the contract and obtain a refund.

Please note: As our services are provided free of charge, certain remedies (such as refunds or compensation) may not be applicable in practice, but your statutory rights under the ACL remain protected.

The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.
