We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, including statutory guarantees for services supplied to consumers.

Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. You may cancel at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not provide refunds for partial periods except where required by Australian Consumer Law.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. You submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the ACT for any dispute arising from these Terms, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction provide otherwise.

We may update these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 14 days' notice via email before material changes take effect. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
