Terms of Use

General Terms of Use

AusIMM provides this website as part of its overall service to you. By accessing or using any of the content, information, data, text, graphics, photographs and other materials (“material”) on this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should not use this website.

In addition to these Terms of Use, your use of certain services or parts of this website may be subject to specific and additional terms. Since you are also bound by these additional terms, you should review them where they are provided on this website. The specific terms take priority over these Terms of Use to the extent of any inconsistency.

These are the current Terms of Use and they replace any other terms of use for this website previously published on this website (or any previous versions of this website). AusIMM may at any time vary the Terms of Use by publishing the amended Terms of Use on this web page. You accept that by doing this, AusIMM has provided you with sufficient notice of the amendment. By continuing to access or use any material on this website after any amendment, you confirm your agreement to these Terms of Use, as amended.
