5. Brisbane Consulting product information and acquisition of products and services

  • The Brisbane Consulting website contains both information of a general nature about
    Brisbane Consulting and Brisbane Consulting’s products and service.
  • Where the Brisbane Consulting website enables you to purchase business and consulting
    products or services:
  • we may enter into a binding contract for the provision of consulting services or
    other related products or services through a process in which Brisbane Consulting
    makes an electronic offer via the Brisbane Consulting website and you electronically
    communicate your acceptance of that offer via the Brisbane Consulting website;
  • Brisbane Consulting may act on and process all completed electronic instructions,
    messages, requests or communications issued or transmitted to Brisbane Consulting
    via the Brisbane Consulting website (each an ‘Electronic Instruction’) without further
    confirmation from or reference to you; and
  • Brisbane Consulting may treat an Electronic Instruction as authentic and is under
    no obligation to investigate the authenticity or authority of persons issuing or
    transmitting such Electronic Instruction, or to verify the accuracy and completeness
    of such Electronic Instruction.
  • In order to acquire consulting products and services via the Brisbane Consulting
    website, you must be at least 18 years of age.
  • If payment is made by credit card you must be the credit card holder for any consulting
    products and services which you attempt to acquire.
  • Creating a binding contract with Brisbane Consuliting Pty Ltd via the Brisbane Consulting
    website is a two step process:
  • The first step is to create or compile the products or services you wish to acquire.
    Upon completion or selection by you of all required products and/or services, the
    Brisbane Consulting website will provide you with a quote and availability guide
    for the products and services selected.
  • If you wish to acquire the business services and consulting products or services
    selected then, upon completion by you of all required details, you must accept the
    quote and a binding agreement will be created, with a corresponding Brisbane Consulting
    payment number.
  • When entering into a contract via the Brisbane Consulting website, you will be taken
    to have communicated your acceptance to an offer from Brisbane Consulting Pty Ltd
    only when:
  • the Electronic Instruction containing the acceptance from you enters and is recorded
    in the relevant Brisbane Consulting Pty Ltd database;
  • a record is created and stored in the relevant Brisbane Consulting database; and
  • a Brisbane Consulting purchase number is generated.
  • The parties will not be bound by the terms of a contract created via the Brisbane
    Consulting website until the Electronic Instruction containing the acceptance from
    you to Brisbane Consulting’s offer has been received by Brisbane Consulting in the
    manner specified in this clause.
  • You acknowledge that the transmission of your acceptance through an Electronic Instruction
    may not be received by Brisbane Consulting in accordance with this clause for reasons
    beyond either parties’ reasonable control including, but not limited to, mechanical,
    software, computer, telecommunications or electronic failure. You further acknowledge
    that, to the extent permitted by law, Brisbane Consulting is not liable to you in
    any way for any loss or damage at all and however caused, arising directly or indirectly
    in connection with the transmission of an Electronic Instruction through the Brisbane
    Consulting website or any failure to receive an Electronic Instruction for whatever
    reason.
  • Where a transaction is entered into between Brisbane Consulting and you via the
    Brisbane Consulting website, a booking number will be issued by Brisbane Consulting.
    However, a binding agreement between us is not conditional on the issuance or receipt
    by you of a booking number. Therefore, the failure by you to receive a booking number
    from Brisbane Consulting does not invalidate or otherwise prejudice the existence
    of a contract or transaction entered into using the Brisbane Consulting website.
  • Brisbane Consulting may issue a paper confirmation of the products or services acquired
    by you. The existence of a binding contract is not conditional on Brisbane Consulting
    issuing, or you receiving, a paper confirmation of the transaction.

    Brisbane Consulting if one is not received.

    or services, except for any amount which is withheld by a product or service provider
