Intellectual property

All content on the website — including text, graphics, the Available Light name and logo, the structure and arrangement of the site, and any underlying code we have authored — is owned or licensed by Available Light Pty Ltd and is protected by Australian and international copyright, trade mark, and other intellectual property laws.

Third-party links and services

The website may link to third-party websites or services (for example, our Substack newsletter, providers we work with, or sources we cite). We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices. Your use of any third-party service is subject to that service's own terms.

It does not constitute legal, financial, investment, accounting, scientific, or professional advice, and should not be relied on as a substitute for advice given by a qualified professional with knowledge of your specific circumstances.

If you require advice on a specific decision, please engage us (or another qualified adviser) under a written professional agreement.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent change. If a change is material, we will flag it on the website's homepage for at least 30 days. Continued use of the website after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

General

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
Our failure to enforce a right under these Terms is not a waiver of that right.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Accessibility Statement, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding use of the website.
