1. OUR SERVICES
The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure that their use of the Services complies with all applicable local laws and regulations, including those related to the distribution and use of our services.
For individual projects, we will provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work and an estimate of the costs involved. This proposal will form part of the agreement between you and the Company. The estimate is based on the initial instructions you provided to us and may be subject to change if the scope of work is revised.
Any changes to the scope of work or costs will be communicated to you in writing, and you must provide written acceptance of the revised estimate before we proceed with any additional work. We reserve the right to amend our cost estimate at any time should the project requirements differ from your initial instructions.
All work will be performed in accordance with the scope and details provided in the proposal unless agreed otherwise in writing.
These Terms and Conditions apply to all projects and services provided by right5 unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing in the client’s proposal. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms outlined in a specific proposal, the terms in the proposal will take precedence.
In the event that a project is delayed or suspended by you for more than eight (8) weeks, we reserve the right to request payment for all work completed up to that point, including any outstanding invoices. Further, we will not be obliged to continue work on the project until such time as payment is received.
If a project is delayed beyond the eight (8) week period without any formal agreement, we may terminate the project, retain any work already completed, and seek appropriate compensation for the time and resources invested.

These Legal Terms shall be governed by and defined following the laws of Australia. Right5 Pty Ltd and yourself irrevocably consent that the courts of Australia shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute which may arise in connection with these Legal Terms. This governing law applies to users located in Australia. For users located outside Australia, local consumer laws may apply, and disputes may need to be resolved according to the laws of the country where the user resides.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to resolve any Dispute in good faith through a face-to-face meeting, or via video or phone conference. Such a meeting must take place within two (2) weeks of one Party receiving written notice of the Dispute from the other Party, and both Parties must make genuine efforts to resolve the issue.
If the Dispute is not resolved within twenty-eight (28) days of the initial meeting, neither party will initiate any formal legal or arbitration proceedings until this period has lapsed and the required meeting has been held. Both parties must continue to act in good faith during this time to resolve the Dispute.
Binding Arbitration
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Legal Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA) Rules. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1). The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The governing law of these Legal Terms shall be the substantive law of Australia.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law:
(a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding;
(b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilise class action procedures; and
(c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions To Informal Negotiations And Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:
(a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party;
(b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorised use; and
(c) any claim for injunctive relief.
If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, our liability to you for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the lesser of (a) the amount paid by you to us during the three (3) month period prior to any cause of action arising, or (b) AUD 5000.
However, nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies available to you under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). If the ACL applies to the Services, our liability for failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited to (at our option) resupplying the services or paying the cost of having the services resupplied, unless it is not lawful to limit liability in this way.
19. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) use of the Services; (2) breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (5) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defence of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.
20. USER DATA
We perform regular routine backups of data as a precautionary measure to safeguard against system failures, but these backups are not guaranteed to capture all user data or ensure complete protection. You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of any important data related to your use of the Services. We shall not be liable for any loss or corruption of data, including any data that may be lost due to system failures, interruptions, or other unforeseen events. You agree to waive any claims against us arising from such loss or corruption of data.
21. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES
These Terms comply with the Electronic Transactions Act 1999, which allows contracts and agreements to be formed electronically.
Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Services, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. You hereby agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, orders, and other records, and to electronic delivery of notices, policies, and records of transactions initiated or completed by us or via the services. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.
22. MISCELLANEOUS
These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defences you may have based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Legal Terms.
For the duration of any project or service engagement and for a period of one (1) year after its termination or completion, neither party shall, directly or indirectly, solicit, employ, or engage any personnel or contractors of the other party who have been involved in the project, without prior written consent. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
In the event of a breach of this clause, the offending party shall be liable to pay the other party a sum equivalent to the annual remuneration of the employee or contractor solicited, employed, or engaged, as compensation for the breach.
