You acknowledge and agree that you understand that purchasing property and/or investing in real property and/or undertaking the development of real property including subdivision(s) and renovation(s) and/or construction and/or joint venture activities of any kind (together “Real Estate Activities”) is inherently risky and subject to numerous variables and market forces and that we give no assurances or guarantees that you will make money by any of the Real Estate Activities engaged in. You acknowledge further that there is a real risk that you may lose money by engaging in Real Estate Activities and that you understand that in order to mitigate against such loss it will be essential for you to retain sufficiently qualified professionals to assist and advise you at every step in the process of all Real Estate Activities. The nature of the professional advisors will vary depending on the nature of the Real Estate Activities you engage in but will require (at a minimum) you to be advised by a builder, solicitor and accountant. You acknowledge and agree that the services we offer and provide are general in nature and do not take account of your specific circumstances or the Real Estate Activities you may engage in. We provide general information and guidance for networking opportunities so that you are able to engage with and learn from the experiences of others that have already engaged in certain Real Estate Activities.
- In relation to Meet-ups and Events, you acknowledge and agree that:
- All information including material referred to or provided to you by any person at any Meet-up or Event has been obtained by the provider or presenter solely from their own experience and is referred to or provided as general information only, which:
- will require further research to identify its application to your specific requirements;
- will, dependant on the further research to be undertaken as referred to in subparagraph (i) above, require modification to appropriately apply to your specific requirements; (ii) is referred to or provided by way of example only and is not intended to be nor is it acceptable as specific investment recommendations or advice for you;

- You understand and agree that Real Estate Activities and general investment activities carry an inherent element of risk and that you accept full responsibility for all such risks and adverse consequences;
- Although given in good faith, all information and materials received at any Meet-up or Event should not be relied upon in any way and you understand that you must undertake careful and competent due diligence from independent sources before taking any action or inaction as a consequence of any information or documentation provided at or in relation to any Meet-up or Event;
- Any Real Estate Activity or investment or business undertaken whether as a result of information provided at or in relation to any Meet-up or Event, or otherwise, will only be undertaken after consideration of all relevant facts and issues, and obtaining relevant independent financial, investment and legal advice.
- We and others may photograph and/or record Meet-ups and Events that you attend and you hereby authorise us and anyone else acting with our authority to record your image and/or voice and to utilise all such recording in any way we deem appropriate, including by publishing same on the Websites or via any form of social media.
- All information including material referred to or provided to you by any person at any Meet-up or Event has been obtained by the provider or presenter solely from their own experience and is referred to or provided as general information only, which:

- The Commonwealth Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and the State fair trading laws imply warranties and conditions in contracts for the supply of goods or services. Where any law implies a condition or warranty which may not be lawfully excluded (“Non-Excludable Condition”), then to the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for breach of the Non-Excludable Condition, is limited, at our option, to either resupply of the services or the refund to you of the amount actually paid by you to us.
- Under no circumstances (whether contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or any other theory whatsoever), shall we be liable for any loss or damages you may suffer from or in connection with the Interactions or any other dealing with us or service or product or advice provided by us or on our behalf or by any 3rd Party Referrer or any Real Estate Activities engaged in. This limitation includes, but is not limited to, damages resulting from loss or theft of data; transmission delays or failures; service interruptions; unauthorised access or damage to records, software programs or other information or property; loss of profits; cost of cover; or any other special, incidental, consequential, direct, indirect or punitive damages, however caused. This limitation will apply even if we have been advised of, or are aware of, the possibility of such damages. Because some territories or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or certain forms of liability, some or all of the exclusions set forth in these terms and conditions may not apply. If any of such exclusions are not allowed under the laws of a particular state or other jurisdiction for any reason, then our maximum liability for any type of damages to you shall be limited to the greater of (a) the amount of any money actually paid by you to us, or (b) the sum of $10.00.
