Terms of use

These terms apply when you use plainspokentech.com (the “website”), run by Plainspoken Tech Pty Ltd (ACN 702 652 186), registered in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia (“we”, “us”). By using the website you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the website.

1. Information, not professional advice

The articles, guides and free kit on this website give general information to help people use technology and avoid scams. They aren’t legal, financial, medical or professional IT advice, and they can’t account for your particular device, account or situation. For decisions about money, health or legal matters, speak to a qualified professional. If you think you’ve been scammed, contact your bank and the police straight away.

2. Keeping things accurate

We check our content against official sources and update it when software changes. But phones, apps and services change often and without notice, so some steps or screens may look different on your device. We can’t promise that everything is complete, current or free from errors. Please tell us if you spot something out of date.

3. Our content

The text, design, logos, images and downloads on this website belong to us or the people who licensed them to us, and are protected by copyright and trade mark laws.

You’re welcome to:

• read, print and save pages for your own personal use;
• print the free AI Starter & Scam-Stopper Kit and share printed copies with family, friends, community groups and libraries, free of charge;
• share links to any page.

Please don’t copy our content onto another website, sell it, or use it to train or build a commercial product without our written permission.

4. Other websites

We link to other websites, including Amazon and official help and government pages. We don’t control those websites and aren’t responsible for their content, products, services or privacy practices.

5. Buying our books

Our books are sold through Amazon. Amazon’s terms of sale apply to your purchase, including delivery, returns and refunds.

6. Using the website fairly

Please don’t try to break, overload, scrape at scale or gain unauthorized access to the website or its systems, and don’t use it for anything unlawful.

7. Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that can’t be excluded. Apart from those rights, and to the extent the law allows, the website and its free content are provided “as is”, and we aren’t liable for any loss that arises from using or relying on them. Where our liability can be limited, it’s limited to supplying the information again.

8. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. If you live in another country, you keep any consumer protections that the law of that country gives you.
