2. General information only

The content on this website, including articles, guides and the Essential Eight readiness check, is general information about technology and security. It is not professional, legal, financial or security advice for your particular circumstances, and it does not create a client relationship. The readiness check is a self-assessment conversation starter, not a formal maturity assessment or a guarantee of any security outcome. Before acting on anything on this website, consider obtaining advice specific to your organisation.

3. Using the website

You may use the website for lawful purposes only. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website or its systems, interfere with its operation, use automated tools to scrape or overload it, submit false or misleading information through our forms, or use the website to transmit malicious code.

7. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or other law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any loss or damage (including indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, data or business opportunity) arising from your use of, or reliance on, the website or its content. Where liability cannot be excluded but may be limited, our liability is limited, at our option, to resupplying the relevant information or paying the cost of having it resupplied.
