Terms & conditions

1. About these terms

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the Properly website, including any articles, property information, calculators, reports, guides, videos, downloadable resources and other content made available through it.

This website is operated by Slice Group AU Pty Ltd T/A "Properly", "Properly Investing" (ABN 76 685 062 926, ACN 685 062 926) (“Properly”, "Properly Investing", “we”, “us” or “our”).

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, you should not use the website.

2. General information only

The content on this website is provided for general information and educational purposes only.

It does not constitute personal financial, investment, taxation, legal, accounting, credit or property advice and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial circumstances, borrowing capacity or needs.

Before making a property or investment decision, you should consider your circumstances and obtain independent advice from appropriately qualified professionals.

3. Buyer’s agency services

Information on this website does not constitute an offer to act as your buyer’s agent and does not create an agency, advisory, fiduciary or client relationship between you and Properly.

Buyer’s agency services will only be provided after we have accepted your engagement and the parties have entered into a separate written agency agreement.

That agency agreement will set out the scope of our services, fees, responsibilities, authority, termination rights and other terms applying to the engagement. If there is any inconsistency between these website terms and a signed agency agreement, the signed agency agreement will prevail in relation to the services covered by it.

4. Property and investment information

Property prices, rental estimates, yields, growth rates, vacancy rates, borrowing costs, development costs, cash-flow figures and other financial calculations displayed on this website are estimates or examples only.

They may be based on assumptions, historical information, publicly available data or information supplied by third parties. Actual results may differ because of factors including:

• market movements;
• interest-rate changes;
• lending criteria;
• vacancies and tenant circumstances;
• repairs and maintenance;
• council and planning requirements;
• taxation treatment;
• construction costs;
• insurance costs; and
• the individual characteristics of a property.

You should independently verify all information relevant to a proposed purchase.

5. No guarantee of results

Property investment involves risk. Property values and rental income can rise or fall, and you may lose money or experience periods of negative cash flow.

We do not guarantee:

• that any property will increase in value;
• any particular rental return or investment outcome;
• that forecasts, projections or estimates will be achieved;
• that finance will be available;
• that a property can be developed, subdivided or modified;
• that a property will be purchased below market value;
• that a property will be available off market; or
• that a particular property will remain available.

Past performance, historical growth and previous client outcomes are not reliable indicators of future performance.

6. Due diligence and professional advice

Website content is not a substitute for specific due diligence on a property.

Before purchasing property, you should obtain any advice and reports appropriate to the transaction, which may include:

• legal and conveyancing advice;
• finance and lending advice;
• taxation and accounting advice;
• independent valuation advice;
• building and pest inspections;
• strata, company title or community title reports;
• town-planning and development advice;
• engineering, surveying and environmental reports; and
• insurance advice.

You remain responsible for reviewing and approving any property purchase, contract, finance arrangement or investment decision.

7. Accuracy and availability

We take reasonable care when preparing website content, but we do not warrant that the website or its content is complete, accurate, current or suitable for every user.

Property and market information can change quickly. Content may not reflect the latest market conditions, legislation, lending policies, property availability or transaction details.

We may update, correct, remove or replace website content at any time without notice. We do not undertake to continually update previously published content.

8. Third-party information and links

The website may contain information obtained from property-data providers, selling agents, developers, government bodies, lenders, researchers and other third parties.

We may also provide links to third-party websites, tools or services. These links are provided for convenience only and do not necessarily indicate that we endorse or control the third party.

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security or privacy practices of third-party websites or services. Your use of them is subject to their own terms and policies.

9. Calculators and worked examples

Any calculator, table, projection, case study or worked example on this website is intended to illustrate a general concept only.

Results may depend on assumptions selected by us or entered by you and may not include all expenses, taxes, fees, risks or changes in circumstances.

Calculator results should not be treated as a quote, valuation, finance approval, recommendation or prediction of an actual investment outcome.

10. Guides and downloadable resources

We may provide guides, reports, templates, checklists and other downloadable resources.

Unless otherwise stated, these resources are provided for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may download and retain a copy, but you must not:

• sell or commercially distribute them;
• reproduce or republish them as your own;
• remove our branding, copyright notices or disclaimers;
• modify them in a way that misrepresents their original meaning; or
• use them to provide services to another person.

Access to a free resource does not create a buyer’s agency or advisory relationship.

11. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all intellectual property rights in this website and its content are owned by or licensed to Properly.

This includes the website design, branding, logos, written content, graphics, reports, videos, tables, templates, calculations and downloadable materials.

You may view and use the website for personal and lawful purposes. You must not reproduce, modify, publish, transmit, distribute, commercially exploit or create derivative works from website content without our prior written consent.

12. Acceptable use

You must not use this website:

• for an unlawful, fraudulent or misleading purpose;

• to impersonate another person;
• to submit false or misleading information; or
• in a manner that infringes another person’s rights.

We may restrict or block access to the website where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached.

13. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable legislation.

Where our liability can lawfully be limited, our liability will be limited to the extent permitted by law.

Australian Consumer Law guarantees applying to services cannot be excluded by contractual wording.

• the performance or availability of a property;
• interruptions, errors or security issues affecting the website;
• use of a third-party website, product or service; or
• circumstances outside our reasonable control.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, consequential or special loss, loss of opportunity, loss of profit, loss of rent or loss of anticipated savings arising from your use of the website.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Properly against loss, damage, cost or liability reasonably incurred as a direct result of:

• your unlawful use of the website;
• your material breach of these terms;
• information you submit that infringes another person’s rights; or
• your misuse or unauthorised distribution of our intellectual property.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent that the loss was caused or contributed to by Properly’s negligence, unlawful conduct or breach of these terms.

16. Privacy

We collect and handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

By submitting an enquiry, booking a consultation or requesting a resource, you acknowledge that we may use your information to respond to your request and administer our relationship with you.

Marketing communications will be sent only where permitted by law, and you may unsubscribe at any time.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services or legal obligations.

The current version will be published on this page with an updated revision date. Changes will apply from the date they are published and will not retrospectively alter any signed agency agreement.

18. Severability

If any provision of these terms is invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be read down to the extent necessary or removed.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply.

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.

You and Properly submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and any courts entitled to hear appeals from them.
