Limitation of Green Street’s Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Green Street makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties the full extent of this limitation may not apply to you.

Green Street will not be liable to you or any other person or entity for any damages whatsoever arising as a result of your use of our Website in any way, subject to the requirements of Australian Consumer Law. Where warranties are implied by law, you acknowledge and agree that the total aggregate liability to us is limited to the greater of the amount we have received in payment from you in the six months immediately preceding the claim, or one hundred dollars ($500.00 AUD) only. This limitation of liability applies to the fullest extent permitted by law and survives any termination or expiration of these terms and conditions or your use of our Website.

Green Street will not under any circumstances be liable for any consequential loss suffered or incurred by you or any third party arising from the use or inability to use our Website or the materials on our Website. In the context of these terms and conditions, “consequential loss” includes any consequential, indirect, real or anticipated loss whether under statute, contract, equity, tort (including negligence), indemnity, or otherwise. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on liability for consequential or incidental damages, this limitation may not apply to you.

• any content you post via our Website,
• your unauthorised use of our Website,
• your use of products or services included or advertised on our Website, or
