3. Introductory Service Only

The Site and the Services provide a searchable directory of Tradies and their services and a review platform with respect to a Customer’s experience with Tradies they have engaged.
Tradies with an Account may create a listing (Listing) on the Site specifying the services offered by the Tradie (Tradie Services), contact details, details and photos regarding their business and workmanship, where they supply the Tradie Services (Service Location) and any other relevant information (the information, photos and other materials provided in a Listing collectively referred to as Tradie Content).
To create Listings, Tradies must pay the annual fees for the Listing as set out on the Site (Listing Fee). Listings will remain visible for a period of 12 months (Listing Period).
Each Tradie represents and warrants that any content that it provides and Listing that it posts:
will not breach any agreements it has entered into with any third parties;
will be in compliance with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any User in its local area and country; and
will not conflict with the rights of third parties.
Each User understands and agrees that the Site is an online introductory platform only, and that Tradie Adviser’s responsibilities are limited to facilitating the availability of the Site and the Services.
Tradie Adviser reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Account and/or Listing for any reason, including if any Accounts and/or Listings that Tradie Adviser, at its discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation for these Terms, breaches any Tradie Adviser Policies, or otherwise harmful or inappropriate to the Site or Services.
Tradie Adviser is not a party to any agreement entered into between a Customer and a Tradie. Tradie Adviser is not a referrer or booking agent, and provides no such related services. Tradie Adviser has no control over the conduct of Customers, Tradies and any other Users of the Site and Services. Tradie Adviser disclaims all liability in this regard, as set out in these Terms.
Any arrangement between a Customer and a Tradie is solely between the Customer and Tradie. It is strictly and expressly not part of the User’s agreement with Tradie Adviser. Each User acknowledges and agrees that any communications entered into with another User is at his or her own risk. Tradie Adviser does not provide a User with and cannot guarantee other Users have genuine intentions.

4. Users and User Accounts

Each User should report to Tradie Adviser, any activities or requests of Users which are, or which the User reasonably believes to be:
- suspicious;
- inconsistent;
- illegal; or
- likely to have a negative effect on the reputation of Tradie Adviser, the Site, Services and/or a User.

5. Ratings and Reviews

Rating and Review Integrity

Customers may rate a Tradie (Rating) which determines the popularity of individual Listings after a Tradie has completed the Tradie Services. Customers may also provide feedback to Tradies regarding Tradie Services purchased by and supplied to that Customer (Review).
Ratings and Reviews of a Tradie can be viewed by any User.
Customers must provide true, fair and accurate information in their Review.
Tradies may submit one response to any Reviews regarding their Listing.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tradie Adviser is not responsible for the content of any Reviews.

Commercial Relationships

All Tradies pay the same annual Listing Fee, regardless of number of Ratings and Reviews, and regardless of how recent the Ratings and Reviews are, and regardless of whether the Ratings and Reviews are positive or negative.
Listing rankings are based on the rating score for all Ratings received by that Tradie. Tradies cannot pay additional sums to change, edit or remove their Ratings and Reviews.

Alteration and Omission of Reviews

All Tradies who claim their initial business directory listing, and create a Listing, will retain all Ratings and Reviews posted in the initial business directory listing within the previous 14 days, and will retain all future Ratings and Reviews, while the Tradie maintains the Listing.
If a Tradie does not claim its initial business directory listing, all of their Ratings and Reviews, whether positive or negative, will expire 14 days after being posted, thus impacting the Tradie Listing ranking in the Directory.
If, in Tradie Adviser’s reasonable assessment, the Rating or Review is untrue, unfair, inaccurate, offensive or inappropriate, Tradie Adviser may delete the Rating or Review or ban the Customer from posting the Rating or Review.
Tradie Adviser does not undertake to review each Review made by a Customer.

6. Payments

Customers are not required to pay any fees for using the Services or the Site but may be required to pay fees for Tradie Services as agreed between the Customer and the Tradie (Tradie Fees). Any arrangement between a Customer and the Tradie in relation to the purchase of Tradie Services including the payment of Tradies Fees, delivery of Tradie Services and any applicable insurance is strictly a matter between the Customer and Tradie. The payment of Tradie Fees does not take place via the Site and Tradie Adviser has no involvement in payment of the Tradie Fees in any way.
Each Tradie must pay to Tradie Adviser the Listing Fee as set out on the Site to create and display Listings. If the Tradie would like to extend the Listing Period, the Tradie must pay to Tradie Adviser an additional fee for the Listing before the expiry of the Listing Period.
Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be charged where applicable.
The User may pay for the Services via PayPal. The initial payment will be processed upon receipt of the request to purchase a Listing. If the Tradie elects to make regular payments of the Listing Fee, each further payment will be automatically charged to the Tradie’s PayPal account (details of which are provided upon registration) on the relevant periodic basis.
The Tradie must not pay, or attempt to pay, for a Listing through any fraudulent or unlawful means. If a Tradie’s payment is not able to be successfully processed or Tradie Adviser does not receive the relevant Listing Fee on the day it is due for any reason then, as applicable, the request for a Listing may be cancelled, the Tradie will not be able to access, modify or otherwise post their Listing and any Listing may be removed from the Site.
In the absence of fraud or mistake, all payments made are final and the Tradie shall not have the right to cancel its purchase for any reason and each Tradie agrees to satisfy all such payments made, with exception to action taken under the Refund Policy set out in these Terms.
If the Tradie makes a payment by debit or credit card, the Tradie warrants that the information provided to Tradie Adviser or the applicable third party payment service provider is true, accurate and complete, that the Tradie is authorised to use the debit or credit card to make the payment, that the payment will be honoured by the card issuer, and that the Tradie will maintain sufficient funds in the account to cover any purchase price including the Fees.
Nothing prevents Tradie Adviser from taking any action necessary to recover any unpaid fees. If the Tradie fails to pay, the Tradie’s information will be passed on for collection and or legal action. The Tradie acknowledges and agrees that it is liable for and will pay all costs including debt collection, commission, solicitor’s fees and any out of pocket expense. If the User at any time exceeds Tradie Adviser’s payment terms and as a result are passed on for collection and or legal action, Tradie Adviser may place a default against the Tradie with a credit reporting agency.
Tradie Adviser’s pricing structure or payment methods may be amended from time to time at its sole discretion.

Tradie Adviser may, from time to time, make offers or promotions which may be applicable to the Services.
The conditions of such offers or promotions will be specified on the Site.
The User acknowledges and agrees that Tradie Adviser may, at its sole discretion, remove or extend any offers or promotions, and Tradie Adviser will not be responsible or liable for any potential loss or damage which the User incurs as a result of the removal or extension of any offers or promotions.

8. Dispute Resolution

By using our Site and Services, each User agrees that any legal remedy or liability that he or she may seek to obtain for actions or omissions of a Customer, Tradie, or other third party, will be limited to a claim against the Customer, Tradie or other third party, who caused harm to him or her.
