Liability

Our goal is to provide you with the most relevant organic industry related Content possible. We are constantly working to achieve this; however, we cannot promise that everything will be perfect all of the time.

We disclaim all liability for any loss or damage (including, but not limited to, special, indirect, consequential loss or damage or loss of profits) howsoever arising directly or indirectly in connection with items a – f above and the use of the Membership Portal and the Content by you or any third party.

These Terms of Use do not limit any non-waivable rights that you may be entitled to under the laws of the country you reside in. In Australia, our Services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). You may be entitled to a resupply or refund for a major failure of the Services. You may also be entitled to compensation for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage caused by a failure of the Services. Where permitted by law we limit our maximum liability in relation to the Membership Portal and Content to a refund of any Membership Fee paid.

You indemnify us from and against any loss, damage, costs (including legal costs), expenses or other liability arising out of any claim or demand against us in connection with your Membership, User Content or your use of the Membership Portal or Content. The indemnity given by you is limited to the extent that any negligence or breach of these Terms of Use by us has contributed to the liability arising.

Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Use and any information provided by our support team, the membership Portal or otherwise, these Terms of Use will prevail.

We do not accept unsolicited materials or ideas for content – please do not send them to us. Because we do not read unsolicited materials we need to protect ourselves in case we come up with an idea that is similar to yours. Accordingly, should you send any unsolicited materials or ideas, you do so with the understanding that no payment of any sort will be provided to you, and you are waiving any claim against us regarding the use of such materials and ideas, even if we implement an idea or material that is substantially similar to what you submitted to us.

Changes

Sometimes we might make changes to these Terms of Use and the Content.

If we make changes that are directly related to your Membership (specifically Membership Fees, Refunds and Termination), we will let you know by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect so that you may terminate your Membership in accordance with these Terms of Use, if you are not happy with them.

If we make any other changes to the Membership then we may do this without notice to you. You should regularly review these Terms of Use to keep up to date with the latest changes as they will apply to your continued use of the Membership Portal and Content.
