1. Who runs this site

This site is operated by the Operator (the "Operator") of

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on a non-commercial basis. The

Operator can be reached at the email address above.

2. Who these terms apply to

These terms apply to every visitor of this site, including invited

beta-community members. By accessing the site you agree to be bound

by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

3. Account creation and admission

The site operates in a beta phase. Anyone may apply to join by

submitting the site's join/application form. Applications are

reviewed by the Operator, who may admit or decline any application

at the Operator's sole discretion and without giving reasons.

Submitting an application does not create an account or guarantee

admission.

On admission, an account is created for you and you are asked to

accept these terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Privacy Policy,

and the copyright/contribution agreement before you can interact

with the site. The Operator may revoke an admission or suspend an

account at any time without notice.

Account-holders agree to:

• Provide accurate name and email address
• Keep credentials confidential
• Not share their account with any other person
• Notify the Operator promptly of any suspected unauthorised access
• Be at least 16 years of age, or to have parental or guardian

consent if under 16

4. Acceptable use

You agree to comply with the separate [Acceptable Use Policy](./aup.md)

linked from this site's footer.

5. Content you submit

When you submit content to the site (a feedback item, a suggested

change, a comment, a profile description, etc.), you grant the

Operator a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free,

sublicensable licence to use, modify, redistribute, and display that

content for the purpose of operating, improving, and federating this

site and its successor sites.

You retain copyright in your contribution. You represent that you

own the content or have the rights necessary to grant the licence

above. You agree to indemnify the Operator against any third-party

claim that your contribution infringes their rights.

If you submit a "suggestion" via the site's feedback widget, you

agree that:

• It will be visible to the Operator and to guild reviewers
• It may be incorporated into the site's content with attribution

to your account name (unless you opt out of attribution in your

profile)

It may also flow to associated review-and-deploy infrastructure

at git.nwpcode.org

6. Beta posture and changes

This site is in a beta phase. The Operator may change features,

content, structure, and these terms at any time. When these terms

change, you will be required to re-accept the updated version on

your next login. Continuing to use the site after re-accepting

constitutes agreement to the new version.

7. No warranty

The site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The

Operator makes no guarantee of uptime, accuracy, or fitness for any

particular purpose. To the extent any consumer guarantee under the

Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the *Competition and Consumer

Act 2010* (Cth)) nonetheless applies and cannot lawfully be

excluded, nothing in these terms purports to exclude or restrict it.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable

for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from

your use of the site. The Operator's total cumulative liability to

any user is limited to AUD 100.

9. Termination

The Operator may suspend or terminate your account at any time for

any reason, including violation of these terms, the AUP, or upon

revocation of the beta invitation. On termination your right to

access the site ends; content you submitted remains subject to the

licence in §5.

You may terminate your account at any time by emailing the Operator.

Your submitted content remains under the licence in §5 after

termination.

10. Privacy

Your use of the site is also subject to the separate [Privacy

Policy](./privacy.md).

11. Copyright

Copyright in the site's content and in user contributions is dealt

with in the separate [Copyright Notice](./copyright-notice.md).

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws in force in Victoria,

Australia. Both parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of

the courts of Victoria.

13. Severability

If any clause of these terms is held unenforceable, the remaining

clauses continue in force.
