17. Product-Specific Terms

17.1 What this service is
The Property Due Diligence service (the Service) is a desktop/phone–based assessment of a nominated property you own or are considering, designed to indicate whether, in our opinion, the site shows proceedable potential or is a pass based on information available at the time.

Indicative activities (non-exhaustive, applied as relevant):

Multi-source review of comparable sales/stock, pricing trends and absorption in the local catchment, including agent engagement to ground-truth evidence.
Vendor/agent intelligence (where available), on-market/off-market status checks, indicative negotiation levers and timing sensitivities.
High-level (preliminary) review of applicable planning instruments and overlays (e.g. zoning, height/FSR, heritage, easements/covenants).
Outline of likely permissible pathways, yield scenarios or site layouts in principle.
Order-of-magnitude cost benchmarking for notional scope(s) (not a QS report or tender).
High-level indicators/sensitivities, key risks, dependencies
Targeted network enquiries at our discretion to agents and trusted professionals in our network to test critical assumptions - informal input only; not a formal advice engagement.

Exclusions (unless separately engaged in writing): legal/tax advice; engineering/structural assessments; contamination or geotech; survey; traffic/acoustic/heritage/arborist reports; detailed town-planning opinions; architectural drawings or concept packages; quantity surveying or builder tenders; finance/brokerage; development management; project delivery; on-site inspections.

‍17.2 Deliverables & timeframe
You will receive a written Report (PDF or similar) summarising our findings and stating an opinion (proceedable potential / pass), plus one 60-minute debrief call within 7 days of delivery to clarify the Report. The Report will be delivered within 14 days of our Start Confirmation email (see 17.3). If we are awaiting your information or third-party responses (e.g., agents/councils/builders), the timeframe is reasonably extended for that delay. Further analysis, revisions or re-runs are outside scope and may be quoted separately.

17.3 Commencement (Start Confirmation)
Work on the Service commences only when we send you a Start Confirmation email. Before this email is sent, your order is in a queue for allocation and scheduling.

17.4 Fees, GST & payment
Fees shown at checkout include GST unless stated otherwise. Payment is due at checkout. Work commences after Start Confirmation (see 17.3).

17.5 Cancellations & refunds
a) Change of mind before Start Confirmation: you may cancel before we send the Start Confirmation and receive a refund minus a $25 (incl. GST) admin fee to cover reasonable processing and scheduling costs.
b) After Start Confirmation: no refunds for change of mind, dissatisfaction with the outcome, or a decision to stop the Service after commencement.
c) Conflicts policy (pre-existing interest): we will not bid on or make an offer for a property that you have engaged us to assess. If, at the time of your request, we already have that property under our own review (including an off-market introduction received earlier) or otherwise have a pre-existing interest, we will notify you immediately and provide a 100% refund in good faith.
d) Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). If the Service has a major failure or otherwise fails to comply with a consumer guarantee, you may be entitled to a remedy consistent with the ACL.

17.6 Nature of the Report & reliance limits
The Report is general information and opinion only. It is not financial product advice, legal advice, tax advice, a recommendation to buy/sell, or a promise of feasibility, approval, finance availability, construction outcome or profit. You must obtain independent legal, tax, planning, building and financial advice before acting.

17.7 Third-party information & changing conditions
We reasonably rely on information from third parties and public sources. We are not responsible for errors or omissions in those sources, or for changes in market conditions, construction costs, lending or regulatory settings after the Report date.

17.8 Your responsibilities
You warrant that information you provide is accurate and complete; you will promptly respond to our requests; and you authorise us to make reasonable enquiries of agents and other third parties relevant to the Service.

17.9 Intellectual property & licence
We retain all intellectual property in the Service and the Report. Our data sources, analytical models, benchmarks, cost libraries, checklists, weighting methods and internal templates are confidential and proprietary. We may summarise outcomes in the Report, but we are not required to disclose underlying workings, raw data or internal tools. You are granted a non-exclusive licence to use the Report internally for assessing the nominated property. You must not publish, distribute, resell or reverse-engineer the Methodology or Report without our written consent.

17.10 Consumer guarantees & liability
a) Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantees, rights or remedies under the ACL that cannot be excluded.
b) To the extent permitted by law and where the Service is not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, our liability for failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited to re-supplying the Service or paying the cost of re-supplying the Service.
c) Subject to (a) and to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of (or reliance on) the Service or the Report.

17.11 Disputes
Disputes about the Service are handled under Section 14 (Dispute Resolution).

17.12 Definitions
Start Confirmation means our email confirming we have allocated resources and commenced the Service for your order. Report means our written due diligence deliverable. Property means the nominated property the Service relates to.

18. Language
a) We may provide translations of these Terms (for example, in Chinese) for convenience. If there is any inconsistency or ambiguity between a translated version and the English version, the English version governs.
b) All notices and Dispute Resolution under Section 14 will be in English, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
