Terms of Use and Disclaimer
These Terms of Use and Disclaimer apply to your use of the Somners website. By using this website, you acknowledge and agree to these terms to the extent that they are applicable to your use.
This website is operated by Somners Pty Ltd (referred to in these terms as “Somners”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
1. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, images, photographs, diagrams, downloads, software-related materials and other website content, is owned by or licensed to Somners Pty Ltd and is protected by applicable Australian and international intellectual property laws.
You may view and use website content for ordinary personal and informational purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, republish, commercially exploit or otherwise use website content without prior written permission where permission is required, except where use is expressly permitted by these terms, a separate written licence or applicable law.
Software made available through this website is licensed rather than sold and is subject to the applicable software licence agreement for that product. Downloading, installing, copying or using Somners software constitutes acceptance of the applicable licence terms where those terms provide for acceptance in that manner.
2. Use of the Website
You must use this website lawfully and in a manner that does not interfere with the rights of others or the proper operation, security or availability of the website.
You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, servers, systems or data, introduce malicious code, deliberately interfere with website operation, use download facilities for abusive or unlawful purposes, or carry out automated scraping, harvesting or other activity that places an unreasonable load on the website or circumvents reasonable technical restrictions.
3. General Information and Resources
Articles, guides, suburb information, calculators, resources and other general informational content on this website are provided for general information purposes unless expressly stated otherwise. We take reasonable care in preparing and maintaining this material, but information can change over time and may not reflect the most recent circumstances when you access it.
General informational content does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation, legal position, property circumstances, health considerations or other personal factors. Articles, guides, calculators and resources do not constitute financial, investment, legal, planning, building, tax or other professional advice.
Where information is important to a financial, legal, property, planning, building or other significant decision, you should verify the relevant facts and obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional where appropriate to your circumstances.
General informational content may incorporate information obtained from government sources, public records, mapping services, industry sources and other third parties. Although we take reasonable care in selecting and presenting this information, external information may change, contain errors or become outdated. Users should verify information from the relevant authoritative source where it is important to a decision.
Data, statistics, measurements and figures may be rounded, estimated, derived from third-party information or subject to later revision. The context and source of the information should be considered when relying on figures presented on the website.
4. Real Estate Listings and Property Information
Property listings and other property-specific information published by Somners may include information obtained from property owners, authorised representatives, public records, government sources, professional advisers, service providers and other sources reasonably considered relevant to the property.
Somners takes reasonable care when preparing and publishing property information. Prospective buyers, tenants and other interested persons should nevertheless independently verify matters that are important to their decision, including property dimensions and boundaries, title particulars, easements, planning and zoning matters, permitted uses, development potential, building information, school catchments, utilities, rates, outgoings and other property-specific matters.
Measurements, floor plans, mapping, boundary indications and similar material may be approximate unless expressly stated otherwise. Floor plans and diagrams are intended to assist with understanding the property and should not be treated as surveys, architectural plans or precise measurements unless expressly identified as such.
Property photographs, plans and other marketing material should be considered together with the property description, inspection of the property and the relevant transaction documents. Prospective buyers and tenants should satisfy themselves as to the condition, characteristics and suitability of a property before making a decision.
Property availability, pricing, inclusions and other particulars may change. Information published on this website does not replace the contract of sale, seller disclosure documents, tenancy agreement, title information, statutory searches or other documents relevant to a property transaction.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any obligation imposed on Somners under the Australian Consumer Law, the Property Occupations Act 2014 (Qld) or any other applicable law concerning representations made about real property or the provision of real estate services.
5. Travel, Mapping and Location Information
Travel distances, estimated travel times, transport information, mapping and other location-based information are indicative only and may change due to traffic, road conditions, infrastructure, transport services, mapping updates, weather and other circumstances. Users should confirm current information from an appropriate source where travel time, accessibility or transport availability is important to their decision.
6. Images and Illustrations
Images, diagrams, mockups and illustrations used in articles, guides, software material and other general website content may be illustrative and may not depict an actual location, property, project, person or software environment unless expressly stated.
Images used in a property listing are intended to relate to the advertised property unless they are clearly identified as an artist’s impression, virtual staging, illustrative material or another form of representation. Photographs may reflect the property at the time they were taken and conditions, furnishings, landscaping or other features may subsequently change.
Prospective buyers and tenants should inspect the property and consider the complete property particulars and relevant transaction documents when making a decision.
7. Software Downloads
Somners may make software products, installers, updates, documentation, licence agreements, support information and related materials available through this website.
Software products downloaded from this website are subject to their respective licence agreements. If there is an inconsistency between these website terms and an applicable software licence agreement, the software licence agreement applies to the installation, copying, use, testing, operation, support and removal of that software.
You are responsible for determining whether software is suitable for your intended use, operating environment, equipment, display configuration, security requirements and business circumstances. Software and any project, media, display or other output should be appropriately tested before use in a live, public, client-facing or commercial environment.
Unless expressly stated for a particular product or feature, making software available for download does not mean that Somners provides managed services, hosting, monitoring, backup, storage, custom configuration, professional advice or ongoing technical support.
Software, installers, documentation and other downloads may be updated, replaced, suspended, withdrawn or removed from availability from time to time.
Nothing in these terms or an applicable software licence agreement excludes any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
8. Calculators, Tools and Estimates
Calculators, tools, estimates and interactive features provided on this website are intended to assist with general information only. Results depend on user-supplied inputs, assumptions, available data and the methodology used and should not be treated as a definitive calculation, valuation, quotation or professional opinion unless expressly stated otherwise.
You should independently verify results where accuracy is important to a financial, property, legal, taxation or other significant decision.
9. Third-Party Websites and Resources
This website may contain links to third-party websites, government resources, mapping services, property information services and other external resources.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, a link does not indicate that Somners endorses, controls or accepts responsibility for the third party or its content. External websites are governed by their own terms, privacy practices and content policies, and their information may change independently of Somners.
10. Real Estate Agency Services
Accessing this website, viewing a property listing, attending an inspection, making an enquiry or providing contact details does not by itself appoint Somners as your real estate agent or create an agency relationship between you and Somners.
Any appointment of Somners to act as a real estate agent is governed by the applicable appointment, agreement and requirements of Queensland law. Any sale, purchase, lease or other property transaction is governed by the relevant transaction documents and applicable law.
Where applicable, Somners must comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing requirements. Information about customer due diligence and identity verification is available on our AML/CTF and Identity Verification page.
11. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right, remedy, consumer guarantee, warranty or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including under the Australian Consumer Law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Somners is not liable for loss arising solely from reliance on general informational content on this website, interruption or unavailability of the website, use of website tools or estimates contrary to their stated purpose, or use of third-party websites or resources linked from this website.
To the extent permitted by law, Somners does not accept responsibility for indirect or consequential loss arising from the use or unavailability of general website content or website functionality where that loss was not reasonably foreseeable or was caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Liability connected with the installation, copying, use, testing, operation, performance, support or removal of Somners software is governed by the applicable software licence agreement, subject always to any rights, guarantees or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Nothing in this section limits Somners’ obligations or liabilities arising from real estate agency services where those obligations or liabilities cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
12. Website and Software Support
Somners may provide help materials, contact options, updates or support information for some software products or website features. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, we do not guarantee that support will be continuously available, that every issue will be resolved, or that a particular software product, resource or website feature will continue to be maintained, updated or offered indefinitely.
13. Website Availability And Access
We may modify, suspend or discontinue parts of the website where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, operational, legal or business reasons.
We may restrict or terminate a person’s access to website functionality where we reasonably believe the website is being misused, security is being threatened, unlawful activity is occurring or these terms have been materially breached.
14. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how Somners collects, holds, uses, discloses and protects personal information across our business, including in connection with our website, enquiries, real estate services, subscriptions and software.
Where personal information is collected for customer due diligence under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing requirements, additional information is available in our AML/CTF and Identity Verification notice.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Use and Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes to the website, our services, applicable law or our business practices. The current version will be published on this website and applies from the date shown below.
16. Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Use and Disclaimer is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as severed to the extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue to apply.
17. Governing Law
These Terms of Use and Disclaimer are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and courts entitled to hear appeals from them.
