4. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, images, frameworks, methodologies, and documentation, is the property of AIGC Australia or its licensors and is protected by Australian and international intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without prior written permission.

6. Assessment

Assessment outcomes are based on information provided by assessed organisations and represent our professional opinion at a point in time. Assessments are subject to terms specified in individual service agreements, including duration, scope limitations, and conditions for use of assessment marks.

An assessment reflects governance maturity at the time of review and does not constitute continuous monitoring. Organisations may not misrepresent the scope or status of their assessment. We reserve the right to withdraw or suspend assessments for non-compliance with assessment requirements or material changes in circumstances.

We may publish assessment status in a public assessment register where applicable.

7. Confidentiality

We treat information provided during assessments as confidential and handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable confidentiality agreements. We do not disclose assessment details or assessment outcomes without consent, except where required by law or for verification of assessment status. Confidentiality obligations survive termination of any engagement.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AIGC Australia, its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our website or services.

Our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the fees paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies to the fullest extent permitted by law, regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Australian Consumer Law.

9. Disclaimer

The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, regulatory, or professional advice. While we strive to maintain accurate and current information, we make no warranties or representations about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the information.

Our assessments represent our professional opinion based on information available at the time of review. They do not guarantee the performance, safety, or compliance of AI systems, nor do they eliminate all risks associated with AI deployment.
