1. About these terms

These Website Terms of Use apply to gdcaustralia.com.au and any associated webpages operated by Green Design and Construct (ABN 46 158 707 781), trading as GDC Australia (GDC, we, us or our). By accessing or using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. Information only — no offer or professional advice

The website provides general information about GDC, our capabilities, experience and services. It does not constitute a binding offer, quote, tender response, warranty or professional, technical, engineering, environmental, legal, financial or safety advice.

Project outcomes depend on site conditions, scope, approvals, design, specialist input, availability, budget and other factors. You should obtain advice appropriate to your circumstances and must not rely on website content as a substitute for site-specific assessment or formal project documentation.

3. Enquiries and service engagements

Submitting an enquiry, request for information or request for quote does not create a client, contractor, partnership, agency or other service relationship and does not require either party to proceed. Any services GDC agrees to provide will be governed by a separate written quote, work order, contract or other agreed terms. If there is any inconsistency, that separate agreement prevails for the relevant services.

4. Acceptable use

You must use the website lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

• use the website in a way that infringes another person’s rights or breaches any law;

• introduce malware, harmful code or material designed to disrupt, damage or gain unauthorised access to the website or related systems;

• attempt to probe, test, bypass or interfere with security, access controls or network operation;

• scrape, harvest or systematically extract website content or personal information, except as permitted by law or with our written consent;

• impersonate another person, misrepresent your affiliation or submit false, misleading or unlawful material; or

• use the website or its content to compete with GDC, create a derivative commercial database or send unsolicited communications.

• We may restrict or block access where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached or the website, users or systems are at risk.

5. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, GDC or its licensors owns the website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, photographs, video, layout and design, protected by intellectual property laws. You may view the website and download or print a reasonable copy for your own legitimate, non-commercial information or evaluation purposes.

You must not reproduce, adapt, publish, distribute, communicate, display, commercialise or otherwise use website content beyond that limited permission without prior written consent, except as allowed by law. GDC names, logos and branding must not be used in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation without our written permission.

6. Your submissions

You are responsible for information and material you submit through the website. You warrant that you have the right to provide it and that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, lawful and does not infringe another person’s rights.

You grant us a non-exclusive licence to use, copy and disclose your submission to the extent reasonably necessary to respond to you, assess an opportunity, deliver requested functions, protect our systems and comply with law. Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Do not submit confidential tender, security-sensitive, health or other sensitive information through a general website form unless we have asked you to do so or an appropriate secure channel has been agreed.
