Terms of Use

Last Updated: 16/04/2025

By using the Benefit Legal Lawyers (collectively referred to as “we”, “our”, “us”) website, you understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”). We may modify these Terms at our discretion without notice. Your continued use following any modifications constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

1. WEBSITE ACCESS AND USAGE

1.1 License to Access

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to access and use our website for personal, non-commercial purposes, conditional upon your compliance with these Terms.

1.2 Prohibited Activities

You must not use our website in any way that violates applicable law or regulation; transmit spam or similar solicitations; bypass security measures; interfere with the website or servers; upload malicious code; or attempt unauthorised access to restricted areas. Additionally, you must not use our website for any fraudulent purpose; attempt to reverse engineer any aspect of the website; use automated systems or bots to access the website; test the vulnerability of the website or network; use the site to harass, defame, or threaten others; or attempt to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information from other users of the website.

1.3 Website Availability

We do not warrant that our website will be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. The website may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

2. LEGAL INFORMATION AND PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP

2.1 General Information Only

All content on our website is of a general nature only and not tailored to specific circumstances. It does not constitute legal or professional advice, should not be relied upon for specific situations, and is not a substitute for obtaining specific legal advice from a qualified professional. The content on our website may not reflect the most current legal developments or changes in law.

2.2 No Client Relationship

No lawyer-client relationship is created by your access to or use of our website, receipt of information through our website, or communications sent via our website. A lawyer-client relationship will only be established when we have agreed in writing to provide legal services to you, have sent you a written engagement letter, and you have agreed to the terms of that engagement.

2.3 Past Results

Past results featured on our website do not guarantee similar outcomes in future matters. Legal outcomes are inherently dependent on the unique facts and circumstances of each individual case. The application of law varies significantly between cases, and changes in legislation or precedent may affect potential results. Effective legal representation requires full disclosure of all relevant facts, which can substantially impact case outcomes. Each client’s situation presents distinct legal challenges that require individualised assessment.

3. COMMUNICATIONS AND CONFIDENTIALITY

3.1 No Guarantee of Confidentiality

Communications through our website are transmitted over public networks and are not guaranteed to be secure or confidential. They may be subject to interception or monitoring and should not contain sensitive, confidential, time-sensitive, or privileged information.

3.2 Legal Professional Privilege

Legal professional privilege does not apply to website communications prior to establishing a formal lawyer-client relationship. It applies only to communications made for the dominant purpose of seeking or providing legal advice after formal engagement and is distinct from technical security measures.

3.3 Urgent Matters

For urgent or highly confidential matters, contact us directly by telephone at 02 9266 0046.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

4.1 Ownership

Unless otherwise indicated, we own the copyright and other intellectual property rights in the content of this website, including all text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data, and software.

4.2 Permitted Use

You may browse or print content for non-commercial, personal or internal business use. Any other use, including reproduction, modification, distribution, transmission, republication, display, or performance of website content requires our prior written permission.

4.3 Trademarks

All trademarks appearing on this website belong to their respective owners and may not be used without permission.

5. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND LINKS

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and resources provided for your convenience only. These links do not signify our endorsement and are accessed entirely at your own risk. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or reliability of linked websites, nor for products or services offered through them.

6. SUCCESS STORIES AND SOCIAL MEDIA

6.1 Case Studies and Testimonials

Case studies and testimonials on our website represent actual matters we have handled, have been anonymised to protect client confidentiality, and are provided for informational purposes only. They do not constitute a guarantee of similar outcomes.

6.2 Social Media Interaction

When interacting with our social media platforms, no lawyer-client relationship is created, information exchanged is considered public, communications are not confidential or privileged, and we reserve the right to moderate communications. Our responses do not constitute legal advice. We are under no obligation to respond to any communications on social media platforms and may, at our sole discretion, ignore, delete, or choose not to engage with any such communications.

7. PRIVACY AND DATA COLLECTION

We collect and process information about you when you use our website in accordance with applicable privacy laws. You may request a copy of our Privacy Policy at any time, which outlines how we handle your personal information.

8. DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS

8.1 No Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all representations, warranties, and guarantees, whether express or implied. Our website and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no guarantee regarding the timeliness, accuracy, or completeness of content. We reserve the right to change, update, or remove content without notice. The website may be unavailable from time to time for maintenance or other reasons, and we accept no responsibility for any interruption or loss of service.

8.2 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential damages whatsoever; loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities; business interruption; reputational harm; or any other pecuniary or non-pecuniary loss or damage of any kind, however arising and regardless of the theory of liability (including negligence, breach of contract, or otherwise), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, or such damages were reasonably foreseeable, arising from your use of our website or reliance on website content.

8.3 Consumer Guarantees and Liability Limitations

Nothing in these Terms purports to exclude, restrict, or modify any statutory consumer guarantees or implied conditions or warranties that apply under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)). To the extent our liability cannot be lawfully excluded, such liability is limited to, at our option, the re-performance of relevant services or the payment of the cost of having those services re-performed.

9.2 Severability and No Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and the remaining provisions shall remain in force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.

9.3 Changes to Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue our website, services, or any part thereof, either temporarily or permanently, at any time without notice. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the website or services.
