1. Agreement
By accessing or using this website (“Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
2. Information only
Content on this Site is for general information about Sterling Mason and our activities. It does not constitute financial product advice, legal advice, tax advice, or an offer or invitation to invest, acquire property, or enter any transaction. Any investment decision should be made only after obtaining independent professional advice and reviewing formal documentation.
3. No reliance
While we aim to keep information accurate and current, we do not warrant that content is complete, up to date, or free from error. You rely on the Site at your own risk.
4. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, text, layout, graphics, and logos on this Site are owned by or licensed to Sterling Mason and are protected by Australian and international intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use; you must not reproduce, distribute, or modify materials for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.
5. Prohibited conduct
You must not misuse the Site, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malware, scrape content in a way that impairs performance, or use the Site for unlawful purposes.
6. Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content or practices; links are provided for convenience only.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and other applicable law, Sterling Mason and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or special loss arising from your use of the Site, including loss of profit, data, or opportunity.
8. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
9. Changes
We may amend these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Confidentiality of enquiries
Information you submit through enquiry forms is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Do not submit bank account details, government identifier images, or other highly sensitive material unless we have expressly requested it under a secure process.
Third-party services
If the Site integrates analytics, mapping, or other third-party tools, those providers may process technical data under their own terms. We select providers having regard to data location and security practices, but we are not responsible for their independent conduct.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision is deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
No waiver
Failure or delay by us to enforce any right under these Terms does not waive that right unless acknowledged in writing by an authorised officer.
Electronic communications
Unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in a countersigned engagement letter, communications submitted through this Site do not create contractual obligations. Nothing in these Terms requires us to respond within a particular timeframe; triage and capacity constraints apply as described on the relevant contact pages.
