Terms and Conditions of website use

These Terms and Conditions set out the rules for accessing and using this website, including important limitations on liability and intellectual property rights related to institutional investment governance content.

Acceptance of Terms and updates

These Terms and Conditions govern use of this website and any material made available through it. By accessing or using the site, users agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Disclaimer. If a user does not agree with these documents, they should not use the site. The Company may update these Terms from time to time, and continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Permitted and prohibited use

The website is provided for general informational purposes related to institutional investment governance. Users must not use the site for unlawful purposes, to infringe the rights of others, or to attempt unauthorised access to systems or data. Automated scraping or systematic copying of content is prohibited except to the extent permitted by law. The Company may suspend or restrict access at any time, without notice, if it reasonably believes there has been a breach of these Terms.

Intellectual property and permitted copies

All text, graphics, and other content on the site are owned or licensed by the Company, unless stated otherwise. Users may view, download, and print reasonable portions of content for internal organisational reference, provided that any copyright notices are retained and content is not modified. Content must not be reproduced, distributed, or adapted for commercial use without the Company’s prior written consent, except where permitted by applicable law.

No warranties and reliance on content

The Company endeavours to maintain accurate and useful content, but does not warrant that the information is complete, current, or suitable for any specific purpose. Content is provided on an as is and as available basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all warranties, representations, and conditions, whether express or implied, are excluded. Users remain responsible for verifying information and obtaining independent advice before making decisions based on content.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company is not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of or inability to use the site, including indirect or consequential loss, loss of opportunity, or business interruption. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable legislation, including certain statutory guarantees.

Third party links and resources

The site may contain links to external websites or resources. These are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. The Company does not endorse, control, or approve the content of external sites and is not responsible for their accuracy, security, or availability. Users access external sites at their own risk and should review any applicable terms and privacy policies before using those resources.

Accounts, access, and security

If a user creates an account or is provided with access credentials for restricted content, they are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of those details and for all activities that occur under their account. The Company may revoke access at any time if it suspects misuse, unauthorised sharing, or a breach of these Terms. Users must notify the Company promptly if they suspect that their credentials have been compromised.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Users submit to the non exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the relevant Australian state or territory in relation to any dispute arising from or connected with the site or these Terms. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

Contact and permissions

Questions about these Terms, including requests for permission to use content beyond what is permitted here, can be directed to the Company using the contact details provided on the site. The Company will consider reasonable requests and may grant permissions subject to conditions, including attribution requirements or limitations on scope and duration.

Assignment, waiver, and entire agreement

The Company may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms to another entity where this occurs in connection with a business restructure or similar event. Users may not assign their rights or obligations without prior written consent. No failure or delay in exercising a right under these Terms operates as a waiver of that right, and a single or partial exercise does not prevent further exercises of the same right.
