Certain legislation including the Australian Consumer Law, may imply warranties or conditions or impose obligations, remedies or guarantees which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified except to a limited extent. Such legislation may, for example, impose non-excludable guarantees that goods are of acceptable quality or that services will be rendered with due care and skill (with certain remedies available to consumers for certain breaches of such guarantees). To the extent that such legislation applies, these Terms and Conditions must be read subject to those statutory provisions. If those statutory provisions apply, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, to the extent that Aussie Angels is entitled to do so, Aussie Angels limits its liability pursuant to such provisions for services, to the re-supply or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we accept no, and exclude all, liability for information or services supplied or offered by us for free.
