- any persons supplying personal information (including name and email address) to the Provider through or in connection with the Website, whether by way of the Provider’s registration, contact, or request forms or otherwise (“Registered User”); and
- any persons provided with an individual account (“Account”) for the management of services purchased from the Provider (“Client”).
All categories of users are collectively referred to as “Users,” “you,” or “your” in these Terms and Conditions (T&C).
1.2 The terms and conditions set forth below, the Privacy Policy, and any other terms and conditions, notices, and disclaimers displayed elsewhere on the Website apply to all categories of users.
1.3 By becoming a User, you hereby acknowledge and agree to be bound by the T&C. This version represents the most current version of the T&C and, together with the Privacy Policy and any service agreement, service schedule or invoice the Provider issues to you, sets out the terms governing the supply of services. If there is any inconsistency, a signed or expressly accepted service agreement or service schedule prevails over these T&C to the extent of the inconsistency.
1.4 Where the Provider issues a proposal, service agreement, service schedule, or invoice that references these T&C, payment of the corresponding invoice (in whole or in part) constitutes the Client’s acceptance of these T&C and of any service schedule or agreement so referenced, without the need for signature. Each such proposal, agreement, schedule or invoice will identify the current version and date of these T&C and include a link to them. For higher-value work, the Provider may also retain a signed or expressly accepted proposal as the primary record of acceptance.
1.5 Nothing in these T&C excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, remedy or other protection that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including under the Australian Consumer Law (“ACL”). Any exclusion, limitation, refund policy, suspension right or warranty disclaimer in these T&C applies only to the maximum extent permitted by law and is subject to these non-excludable rights.

OUR PRODUCTS & SERVICES
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
8.0 The warranty disclaimers in this clause 8 are subject to clause 9 (Limitation of Liability) and clause 1.5, and do not exclude, restrict or modify any guarantee, right or remedy that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
8.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to clauses 8.0, 9 and 1.5, the Provider does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available at all times, or that any results will meet the Client’s requirements. Nothing in this clause 8 excludes, restricts or modifies the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, including that services will be rendered with due care and skill (s60) and will be reasonably fit for any purpose the Client makes known (s61). Where the Provider may lawfully limit its liability for failure to comply with such a guarantee, and the Services are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, its liability is limited under clause 9.3 to resupplying the Services or paying the cost of resupply.
8.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components, and any reliance on the Service is at the Client’s own risk. Nothing in this clause limits the Provider’s obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles to take reasonable steps to protect personal information (APP 11), or its obligation under the Australian Consumer Law to supply the Services with due care and skill. The Provider will take reasonable steps to maintain the security of the Services and of any personal information it holds.
8.3 The Provider makes no guarantees or representations regarding the results that may be obtained from the use of the Service, including the success or effectiveness of any website maintenance or support activities.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
9.0A Nothing in this clause 9 excludes, restricts or modifies the Provider’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded (including under the Australian Consumer Law).
9.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider excludes all liability for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, including (without limitation) loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, opportunity, anticipated savings, business interruption, loss of data, or other intangible loss, arising out of or in connection with the Services, the Website, or these Terms (whether in contract, tort including negligence, under statute (other than liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified) or otherwise).
9.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider’s total aggregate liability to the Client for any claim arising out of or in connection with the Services, the Website, or these Terms (whether in contract, warranty, tort including negligence, under statute or otherwise) is limited to the amount paid by the Client for the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability. This cap does not apply to, and the Provider does not limit, its liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by the Provider’s negligence; (b) the Provider’s fraud; or (c) failure to comply with a consumer guarantee in respect of services of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use. For services not of that kind, the Provider’s liability for failure to comply with an applicable consumer guarantee is limited under clause 9.3 to resupply or the cost of resupply. Where the claimant has paid no fees to the Provider in the twelve (12) months preceding the event (including a Visitor or Registered User), the Provider’s total aggregate liability is limited to AUD $100.
9.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by law (including under the Australian Consumer Law). To the extent the law requires the Provider to provide a remedy, the Provider’s liability is limited (at its option and to the extent permitted by law) to resupplying the services or paying the cost of having the services resupplied.
9.4 This clause 9 is the master limitation of liability and applies to all Services and to the Website. To the extent of any inconsistency, this clause 9 prevails over any other limitation, exclusion, disclaimer, “no refund” or “sole remedy” statement elsewhere in these T&C.
WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
10.1 The Provider offers website design and development services (“Design & Development Services”) to Clients. These services include, but are not limited to, the creation and customisation of website designs, development of website functionalities, and integration of third-party tools and platforms.
10.2 The Design & Development Services may require the submission of project requirements, specifications, and other relevant materials by the Client. The Provider will make reasonable efforts to meet the agreed-upon specifications and deliver the completed website within the agreed-upon timeframe. Agreed timeframes assume the Client provides required input, content, approvals and access promptly. Timeframes will be extended to the extent the Client delays input, approvals or access, requests changes to scope, or where a third-party service or platform causes delay.
10.3 The Client acknowledges and agrees that the final design and functionality of the website may vary from initial concepts or mock-ups due to technical limitations, compatibility issues, or other factors. The Provider will work closely with the Client to address any reasonable revisions or modifications during the development process.
10.4 Upon full payment for the Design & Development Services, the Client owns the final project deliverables specifically created for the Client (the “Deliverables”), including the completed website’s design elements and source code created for the Client. This transfer does not include the Provider’s pre-existing materials, processes, know-how, reusable code, templates, tools, plugins, third-party materials, open-source components or licensed software (together, “Background and Third-Party Materials”). To the extent any Background and Third-Party Materials are embedded in or required to operate the Deliverables, the Provider grants the Client a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use them as reasonably required to operate the Deliverables, subject to any applicable third-party or open-source licence terms. The Provider transfers or licenses only those rights it is lawfully able to transfer or license.
10.5 The Client is responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date content, materials, and necessary permissions for the website. The Provider will not be held liable for any copyright infringements, inaccurate information, or legal disputes arising from the content provided by the Client.
10.6 The Client agrees to review and test the completed website promptly upon delivery. Any defects, errors, or issues should be reported to the Provider within a reasonable timeframe. The Provider will make reasonable efforts to address and rectify any reported issues within a mutually agreed-upon timeframe.
HOSTING
11.1 Purpose of Services
11.2 Hosting services provided by the Provider are primarily intended for the purpose of hosting websites and email. Hosting services are not permitted for batch processing, video encoding/transcoding, web crawling/spidering, archiving, online backup systems, or any system unrelated to website hosting, unless explicitly agreed upon in writing for a dedicated server. The Provider reserves the right to take proactive action to maintain the stability of its systems for all Clients.
11.3 Suitability of Hosting Environment
11.4 Managed Hosting: the Provider does not actively impose limitations on disk space or bandwidth for managed hosting. However, in order to ensure system stability, resource usage may be limited to prevent any single Client from adversely affecting others on shared servers.
11.5 Dedicated Servers: The resources available for dedicated servers are defined by the package purchased by the Client.
11.6 “Unlimited” Allowances
11.7 Any “unlimited” allowances are subject to fair use. If a Client exceeds the monthly bandwidth or disk space deemed excessive in comparison to the average usage by other Clients on our platform, the Provider may advise the Client to improve website efficiency, configure a CDN (Content Delivery Network), or upgrade to a bespoke solution. Before charging for or restricting excessive usage, the Provider will notify the Client, provide reasonable detail of the usage, and offer options (such as efficiency improvements, configuring a CDN, or upgrading) together with a reasonable opportunity to remedy. Charges for excess usage apply only as set out in writing.
11.8 Service Needs
11.9 If the Provider determines that the selected or purchased service does not meet the Client’s needs, the Client will be informed and advised on the appropriate service. The Provider is not obligated to continue providing hosting services that are inadequate or unsuitable for the Client’s needs. Where the Provider reasonably determines the purchased service is unsuitable and recommends moving the Client to a more appropriate service or provider (an “account move”), and the Client does not reasonably cooperate within a reasonable period after written notice (not less than 14 days), the Provider may suspend or terminate the affected hosting service in accordance with clause 19, subject to clause 19.1.1, clauses 12A.6 and 12A.7, clause 1.5, and the Client’s non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law. The Provider will not withhold or retain data or property owned by the Client contrary to those clauses.
11.10 Migration Service
11.11 The Provider offers a free migration service to assist in transferring websites from the Client’s previous provider to the Provider. This migration service is provided as a best-effort service. While reasonable care will be taken to move site files and data, it is the Client’s responsibility to provide suitable access for data retrieval and verify the successful migration of the site. Migration of emails, DNS records, and domain names may be possible but cannot be guaranteed without interruption.
11.12 Changes to the Hosting Environment
11.13 The Provider reserves the right to change the hosting environment in which the Client’s website runs under the following circumstances:
- To reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
- To implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, such as addressing security threats.
11.14 These changes will be made on a “like for like” basis and will not affect the Client’s use of the hosting environment. Material changes to the website hosting environment will only occur to provide an “upgrade.” The Client will be notified in writing of any changes made to the hosting environment.
11.15 Upstream Providers
11.16 The Client must agree to the terms of the Provider’s upstream providers, with emphasis on their terms of export law. The Provider has made an effort to incorporate all relevant terms of its upstream providers into this agreement.
11.17 CDN and Bandwidth Usage
11.17.1 In locations where bandwidth prices are high due to a relative lack of connectivity or fluctuations (e.g., the Middle East), the Provider may require the Client to use a CDN service provided by the Provider. A CDN service distributes worldwide traffic, improving page load speed and reducing bandwidth usage from the source server. The Provider will reasonably assist with the setup.
11.18 No Guarantee
11.18.1 The Provider does not guarantee the defence of Client websites from denial of service attacks unless specifically offered and agreed upon. Clients who anticipate being a target of DDoS attacks should consider purchasing a DDoS mitigation service from a third-party provider, such as Cloudflare.
11.19 Service Uptime
11.19.1 The Provider targets 99.9% service uptime, excluding planned or emergency server maintenance and conditions beyond its reasonable control. This is a target only and is not a guarantee or binding service level commitment unless a separate service level agreement is agreed in writing. The Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Clients of planned maintenance through the status page (and, where maintenance is expected to last longer than 30 minutes, by email), to respond promptly to server problems, and to keep affected Clients informed of the issue and an estimated resolution timeframe.
11.20 Backups
11.20.1 The Provider aims to take daily backups of Client websites and store them offsite. For Clients in Australia, the Provider will use reasonable efforts to keep backups within Australia. Where backups or other Client data containing personal information are stored or processed outside Australia, the Provider will comply with Australian Privacy Principle 8 and take such steps as are reasonable to ensure the overseas recipient handles the information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. The Privacy Policy sets out the countries in which Client data may be stored or, where these cannot be practicably specified, the categories of such countries. Non-fundamental files, such as error logs, cPanel backups, and cache files, may be excluded from backups. Backups are provided as a disaster-recovery convenience on a best-effort basis. They are not warranted for completeness, regularity or restorability, are not a substitute for the Client maintaining its own backups, and no specific restore point is guaranteed unless agreed in a paid service level agreement. It is the Client’s responsibility to maintain its own backups of its website.
11.21 Disruption to Services
11.21.1 The Provider is not responsible for disruptions to services caused by events outside its control. While every effort is made to select providers offering a high level of performance and uptime, disruptions caused by events outside the Provider’s control will be promptly communicated to the Client, and steps will be taken to minimise the impact. The Provider will not be liable for disruptions caused by such events. The Provider will not be responsible for network or hardware issues upstream of its systems, such as issues with AWS or other providers.
WEBSITE MAINTENANCE – MONTHLY PLANS
12.1 Purpose of Services
12.1.1 The Provider provides an online service that offers support to website managers and owners (referred to as the “Service”).
12.1.2 The Service may experience sporadic interruptions due to technical problems, maintenance works, restore processes, or other reasons beyond the Provider’s control.
12.1.3 The Provider may temporarily interrupt or suspend the Service where reasonably necessary to address a critical security vulnerability, urgent maintenance, or a legal or infrastructure risk. The Provider will give as much prior notice as is reasonably practicable and, where prior notice is not practicable, notice as soon as reasonably possible afterwards. Any interruption will be limited to the extent reasonably necessary, and the Service will be restored promptly. Where an interruption materially deprives the Client of the Service for an extended period, the Client is entitled to a pro-rata credit or refund for the affected period. Nothing in this clause limits the Client’s non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
12.2 Registration Process
12.2.1 To use the Service, creating a personal account on the Provider’s website is required. This involves choosing a username, a password, and providing further information.
12.2.2 The submitted information must be accurate and kept up to date.
12.2.3 The authentication process is part of the normal security and authentication procedures to ensure the safety of Clients. It verifies the Client’s genuine interest in registering or activating the Service.
12.2.4 Registered users must keep their access codes secure and not share them with anyone. Compromised access codes should be promptly reported to the Provider, which will deactivate them.
12.2.5 Disclosing access codes to unauthorised third parties may result in unauthorised access to the website and/or the Service.
12.2.6 The Client is solely responsible for all activities conducted using their account.
12.2.7 The Provider’s Services are available to companies and individuals who are 18 years old or above.
12.3 Payment Procedure
12.3.1 Payment for the Service is to be made in advance, including any applicable taxes.
12.3.2 The Client is responsible for the timely payment of the Provider’s Service.
12.3.3 The Provider may change the price of services. For ongoing Services, a price increase will take effect only from the next billing period or renewal after the Provider gives the Client written notice, and the Client may cancel the affected Service before the increase takes effect. A price change does not affect fees already paid for the current billing period.
12.3.4 The Provider is not liable to refund any payments if prices decrease or if offers or packages are altered after payment has been made.
12.3.5 The Provider does not handle or store Clients’ payment details (e.g., credit card numbers). This data is kept with the payment service providers.
12.3.6 The payment process involves transferring protected and encrypted data directly to the payment gateway. The payment service provider communicates the result of the transaction to the Provider only when the transaction is completed. The Provider may apply limitations and exclusions to the means of payment available for the Client for safety reasons.
12.3.7 The Provider reserves the right to reject orders if the provided personal data and/or payment data are not genuine, if there has been a past breach towards the Provider, or if the Client has exceeded spending limits.
12.3.8 The Provider performs necessary checks to control illegal activities and reserves the right to take action against those engaged in online fraud.
12.4 Limits of Liability
12.4.0 This clause 12.4 is subject to clause 9 (which is the master limitation of liability), clause 1.5 and the Client’s non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
12.4.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider is not liable for indirect or consequential loss suffered by the Client, its partners, agents, employees, or collaborators in connection with the Service provided.
12.4.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider’s liability for loss of profit, inability to use the Service, or other indirect loss is excluded and, where such liability cannot be excluded, is limited in accordance with clause 9.
12.4.3 The Provider is not responsible for the consequences of the illegitimate use of data provided by the Client. It cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Provider’s website.
12.4.4 Temporary technical malfunctions or interruptions of the Provider’s website that momentarily prevent the use of the Service do not entitle the Client to a refund, except to the extent required by law.
12.4.5 The Provider’s website may contain links to third-party websites. The Provider is not responsible for the accessibility and content of these links or for any consequences of using the linked content.
12.4.6 Subject to clause 9 and the Client’s non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law, the Client’s primary remedy for any alleged fault in the Service is cancellation of the subscribed Service, together with any refund calculated in accordance with these T&C.
12.5 Support Tickets
12.5.1 Support requests, also known as tickets, that fall within the following categories are within the scope of a standard maintenance or care plan. The Provider will render those services with due care and skill and will use reasonable efforts to address each request, but does not guarantee any particular result or outcome, consistent with clause 8.3:
- Problems with the website interface, including HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
- Requests for modifications of style elements on the page using CSS.
- Requests for content additions and modifications of images.
- Requests for creating basic graphic elements such as buttons, menus, and newsletter forms.

- Backup and restoration of your WordPress website.
- Website performance optimisation activities (no specific performance result guaranteed).

12.5.2 Examples of requests that fall outside the standard plan allowance unless separately quoted include:
- Change of the website theme.
- Creation of landing pages.
- Customisation of plugins.
- Customisation of the website theme.
- Marketing activities such as advertising campaigns or promotional strategies.
- Full-scale SEO services beyond basic suggestions or optimisation.
12.5.3 Clients who are unsure whether their support request falls within the listed topics can submit a ticket to inquire about its acceptance.
12.6 Cancellation of the Service
12.6.1 Either party may cancel or end the Service in accordance with this clause 12.6 and clause 19. The Provider may suspend or interrupt the Service only in accordance with clause 12A (suspension for non-payment, on notice), clause 12.1.3 (interruption for critical vulnerabilities and urgent risks), and clause 19.1.1. The Provider has no general right to interrupt or suspend the Service without notice.
12.6.2 The Provider aims to maintain a positive working relationship with Clients. Dissatisfaction alone is not a ground for termination under these T&C; cancellation and termination are governed by this clause 12.6 and clause 19.
12.6.3 The Provider has a zero-tolerance policy towards aggressive communication, insults, and discrimination.
12.6.4 Clients can discontinue the Service by writing an email to support@readyaim.digital.
12.6.5 Prepaid subscription fees are not refundable for change of mind or early cancellation, except as stated in the applicable service agreement or service schedule, or as required by law (including the Australian Consumer Law). Refunds for project-based work are governed by clause 20.
NON-PAYMENT, SUSPENSION AND WITHHOLDING
12A.1 This clause applies to all Services provided by the Provider, including website design and development, hosting, and monthly maintenance or care plans.
12A.2 Unless otherwise stated on the invoice or agreed in writing, all invoices issued by the Provider are due and payable within fourteen (14) days of the date of issue.
12A.3 If any undisputed invoice remains unpaid fourteen (14) days after its due date, the Provider may, on seven (7) days’ written notice to the Client:
- suspend the provision of any or all Services; and/or
- decline to commence or complete any handover, migration, or release of deliverables, credentials, files, or access under the Provider’s control (including hosting accounts, content management systems, DNS records, and access to third-party platforms),
until all outstanding amounts have been paid in full.
12A.4 Suspension of the Services does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay fees for Services already provided, or fees that accrue during any applicable notice period.
12A.5 The Provider will restore suspended Services and complete any requested handover promptly, and in any event within five (5) business days, after receipt of payment in full of all outstanding amounts.
12A.6 Nothing in this clause entitles the Provider to withhold or retain property owned by the Client beyond what is reasonably necessary to secure payment of outstanding amounts, and nothing in this clause excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights the Client may have under the Australian Consumer Law.
12A.7 Any suspension or withholding under this clause is limited to deliverables and access under the Provider’s control and only to the extent reasonably necessary to secure payment. The Provider will not suspend or withhold access where doing so would be unlawful or unsafe, will preserve any access reasonably required for emergency, legal or security reasons, and will not withhold access to accounts or credentials owned by the Client and held with a third party where the relevant amount is disputed by the Client in good faith.
12A.8 Clauses 12A.1 to 12A.7 apply to Services provided, and invoices issued, on or after the date this clause is first published in these T&C. Services provided and amounts invoiced before that date continue to be governed by the terms in force at the relevant time.
EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

13.1.3 Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights, remedies, guarantees or warranties that cannot be limited or excluded by law (including under the Australian Consumer Law).

- breach of these T&C;
- unlawful or negligent act or omission; or
- infringement of a third party’s rights.
14.1.2 Your liability under clause 14.1.1 is reduced proportionately to the extent the relevant loss was caused or contributed to by an Indemnified Party, including by the Provider’s negligence, breach of these T&C, or breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law.
14.1.3 This clause 14 is subject to clause 9 (including the cap in clause 9.2), clause 1.5, and your non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law. This indemnity does not extend to indirect or consequential loss.
14.1.4 As a condition of the indemnity, the Provider must promptly notify you of the relevant claim, must not settle it without your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), must allow you to participate in (and, if you elect and fund it, assume conduct of) the defence of the claim, and must take reasonable steps to mitigate the loss.

REFUNDS ON TERMINATION
20.1 Full Refund on Termination
20.1.1 The Provider offers a full (100%) refund if the Client gives written notice of termination within 15 calendar days after payment and the Provider has not yet commenced substantive design or development work. “Substantive design or development work” means chargeable production work (such as design comps, development, or content build) carried out at the Client’s request, and does not include the initial consultation, scoping or discovery call, proposal preparation, routine administration, or hosting or account setup.

The remaining balance is refunded to the Client. This calculation is subject to the Client’s non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
20.2.3 In assessing the reasonable value of work performed under clause 20.2.2(b), the Provider may take into account time reasonably spent on the project, including research, planning meetings, documentation, layout and design creation, hosting setup, and project communications, charged at the Provider’s standard hourly rates, together with any committed or incurred third-party costs.
