# Terms of Use

**Effective date:** 19 August 2026

## 1. About these terms

This website is operated by TERESEC Pty Ltd (ABN 65 694 460 065) ("TERESEC", "we", "us", "our").

By accessing or using teresec.com.au you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

## 2. Changes

We may change these terms at any time by publishing an updated version on this page. The version in force is the one published at the time you use the site. We will update the effective date when we make a change.

## 3. Content is general information, not advice

The content on this website, including blog articles, technical commentary and any framework or standards discussion, is general information only. It is published for a professional audience and does not take into account your organisation's systems, risk profile, obligations or circumstances.

Nothing on this website constitutes:

- Professional security advice
- Legal, financial or compliance advice
- A recommendation to adopt, purchase or avoid any product, vendor or control

You should not act on anything on this website without obtaining advice specific to your circumstances. Formal advice is provided only under a written engagement with TERESEC.

## 4. Third-party references and links

We reference third-party products, vendors, standards bodies and research. Those references are for information and do not imply endorsement, partnership or affiliation unless expressly stated.

Where we hold a formal partnership with a vendor, that relationship is disclosed on our website. Disclosure of a partnership does not affect the independence of our advice; our recommendations are based on assessment findings.

We are not responsible for the content, availability or practices of any external website we link to.

## 5. Intellectual property

All content on this website — including text, articles, graphics, diagrams, logos and the TERESEC name and marks — is owned by TERESEC or used under licence, and is protected by Australian and international copyright and trade mark law.

You may:

- View, download and print content for your own internal, non-commercial use
- Quote short extracts from our articles with clear attribution to TERESEC and a link to the source page

You may not, without our prior written permission:

- Reproduce, republish or redistribute our content commercially
- Present our content as your own, or remove attribution
- Use our name, logo or marks in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation
- Use automated means to scrape or harvest the site, other than search engine indexing

## 6. Acceptable use

You must not use this website to:

- Break any law or infringe anyone's rights
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its infrastructure or any connected system
- Interfere with the availability or integrity of the site
- Transmit malicious code
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation

**Security testing.** Security testing of this website is not authorised. If you believe you have found a vulnerability in the course of ordinary use, report it under our [Vulnerability Disclosure Policy](/security) rather than investigating it further.

## 7. No warranty as to the site

We take reasonable care to keep this website accurate and available, but we do not warrant that:

- The content is complete, current or free from error
- The site will be uninterrupted or free from vulnerabilities
- The site or its server is free from malicious code

Security information dates quickly. Statistics, standards references and vendor capabilities described in our articles were accurate at the time of publication and may not be current.

## 8. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the *Competition and Consumer Act 2010* (Cth), including the Australian Consumer Law, that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Subject to that, to the maximum extent permitted by law:

- We exclude all liability for loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website
- Where liability cannot be excluded, our liability is limited to resupplying the relevant information or paying the cost of having it resupplied

## 9. Privacy

Our handling of personal information is described in our [Privacy Policy](/privacy), which forms part of these terms.
