Limitation of liability
Equindex provide you with a directory of listed businesses but are not the provider of the listed products and services and are therefore not liable for any loss or damage you experience for choosing to purchase anything. You must contact the product and service provider directly if you experience any loss or damage as a result of your decision to purchase any products or services.
Equindex is not responsible for any injury or death experienced by you as a result of participating in any activity, such as horse-riding, listed on or promoted through the website. Equindex has no influence over your decision to participate, and what you do whilst participating. Unfortunately, even simple physical activities can involve injuries or death.
We will not be liable to you or any other person or entity for any damages whatsoever arising as a result of your use of our website in any way, subject to the requirements of Australian Consumer Law.
Where warranties are implied by law, you acknowledge and agree that the total aggregate liability to us is limited to one hundred dollars ($100.00 AUD) only. This limitation of liability applies to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall survive any termination or expiration of this agreement or your use of our website or the services found on our website.
Indemnity
Unless the claim was caused by or substantially contributed by us, or the cause of the claim was outside of your control, you agree to indemnify and defend us from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including court costs, collection costs, and reasonable legal fees to the extent permitted by law) related to:
- any content you post via our website or social media
- your unauthorised use of our website,
- your use of products or services included or advertised on our website
- your breach of these terms and conditions.
Effectively this means that if you cause a claim, you will be responsible for paying the costs we incur to have to defend that claim.
Applicable law
This agreement is governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in that State or the Federal Courts within Australia, in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of any of our website.
Relationship
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us from your use of any of our website.
Our performance of this agreement is subject to existing laws and legal process. Nothing contained in this agreement can be used to inhibit our right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of our website, or with regard to information provided to or gathered by us with respect to your use.
Validity
If any part of these terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the terms will continue in effect.
