Hush Hush do not endorse any Advertiser Content appearing on the Site nor are we responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, information or statement made on Advertiser Content available on the Site.

While Hush Hush uses all reasonable endeavours to moderate Advertiser Content, Hush Hush cannot confirm or verify and therefore cannot guarantee that any Advertiser Content is accurate or error-free.

Third Party Websites

The Site may link to other websites, services or resources on the Internet, and other websites, services or resources may contain links to the Site. These websites are not under our control and are not maintained by Hush Hush. We are not responsible for the content of those websites.

We only provide links to external websites as a convenience, and the inclusion of such a link to external websites do not imply our endorsement of those websites. You acknowledge and agree that when you access other websites on the Internet, you do so at your own risk.

We make no representation about any other website you access through this one. Please understand other websites are independent from our sites so we do not accept responsibility for such websites.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnity

You agree that we shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using the Site, copying, distributing, or downloading content (including Advertiser Content) from the Site. In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential damage (including loss of business, revenue, profits, use, privacy, data, goodwill or other economic advantage) however it arises, whether for breach of contract or in tort, even if it has been previously advised of the possibility of such damage.

We do not endorse any Advertiser Content and expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with them. We do not confirm and verify Advertiser Content. In no event shall we be liable for any claims by a user or any third party pursuant to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) including, but not limited to, any misleading or deceptive statements and/or misrepresentations incorporated into any Advertiser Content. It is the advertiser’s sole responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the data inputted into Advertiser Content.

As a condition of your access to and use of the Site, you agree to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify Hush Hush and its successors and assigns for all damages, costs, expenses and other liabilities, including but not limited to legal fees and expenses, relating to any claim arising out of or related to:

  • Your breach of these Terms and any applicable law or the rights of another person or party;
  • Any breach of contract or other claims made between users and advertisers; or
  • Any liability arising from the tax treatment of payments or any portion thereof.

This indemnification survives the expiration or termination of these Terms.

To the extent permitted by law, any condition or warranty which would otherwise be implied into these Terms are excluded. Where legislation implies any condition or warranty, and that legislation prohibits us from excluding or modifying the application of, or our liability under, any such condition or warranty, that condition or warranty will be deemed included.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws in force in the State of New South Wales. In the event that the State of New South Wales does not have jurisdiction to hear matters relating to this agreement, then the laws in the Commonwealth of Australia will apply. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction.

General

We accept no liability for any failure to comply with these terms and conditions where such failure is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

If we waive any rights available to us under these Terms on one occasion, this does not mean that those rights will automatically be waived on any other occasion.

If any of these Terms are held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, the remaining Terms shall nevertheless continue in full force.

These Terms and the documents expressly referred to in them, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hush Hush, and supersede all previous discussions, correspondence, negotiations, previous arrangements, understanding or agreement between us relating to the Site.

We each acknowledge that, in entering into these Terms, neither of us relies on, and subsequently will have any remedies for, any representation or warranty that is not set out in these Terms.

We may assign or sub licence our rights or obligations under these Terms at any time without obtaining your consent.

Updates to these Terms

We reserve the right to amend these Terms from time to time and at our sole discretion. Notification of the changes to these Terms will be posted on the Site and will be effective immediately, unless expressed otherwise.

It is your sole responsibility to periodically check these Terms for any changes. If you do not agree to any changes in these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Site. Your continued use of the Site will be deemed as your acceptance of such changes.
