Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the AusPrivacyKit website and our downloadable templates and resources (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or purchasing from our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

What We Offer

AusPrivacyKit provides downloadable templates, resources, and guidance designed to help Australian businesses understand and comply with privacy and data governance best practices. Our templates and resources are provided as informational tools and general examples only. They are not legal advice, and we do not guarantee they will meet every business's specific legal requirements.

Permitted Use

By using our Services, you agree to use them only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You specifically agree not to:

• Use the Services for any illegal or prohibited purpose
• Interfere with, disrupt, or overload our website or servers
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to discover the underlying code or technology
• Scrape, crawl, or automatically download content from our website without permission
• Use the Services to build competing products or services
• Violate any applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights

Purchasing and Payments

When you purchase our templates or resources, you agree to provide accurate billing information. Payment is processed through Stripe, our authorized payment processor. By making a purchase, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the amount of your purchase plus any applicable taxes. We do not store your credit card details—Stripe handles all payment processing securely.

Prices are listed in Australian dollars (AUD) unless otherwise specified. We reserve the right to change prices at any time, though changes will not apply to purchases already made.

Refunds and Returns

Because our products are digital downloads (templates and resources), all sales are final. You will have immediate access to download purchased materials after payment is confirmed. Due to the nature of digital products, we cannot offer refunds after download or purchase completion.

If you experience a legitimate technical issue preventing download, please contact us at hello@ausprivacykit.com within 7 days of purchase.

All content on our website, including text, templates, graphics, logos, and any other materials, are the intellectual property of AusPrivacyKit or our licensors and are protected by Australian copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.

When you purchase our templates, you receive a non-exclusive, personal license to use them for your own business purposes. This means you may:

• Download and use the templates for your organization

You may not:

• The Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms.

Third-Party Content and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or resources. We do not control these external sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Your use of third-party sites is governed by their terms and policies. We do not endorse any third-party content unless explicitly stated.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable under Australian law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if that's not possible, it will be severed. The remaining provisions will continue in full force.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Any disputes arising under these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Australian courts. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objection to venue or inconvenient forum.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and AusPrivacyKit regarding your use of the Services. They supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and negotiations. If any provision conflicts with our Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy controls regarding privacy matters.
