Our services are advisory in nature. While we provide expert analysis and recommendations, ultimate decision-making authority and responsibility remain with the Client. We do not provide legal, financial product, or tax advice unless expressly engaged to do so in writing.

Nothing on this Site constitutes legal, financial, or investment advice. Content provided is general in nature and does not take into account your specific circumstances.

5. Engagement Terms, Fees and Payment

All engagements are subject to a signed engagement letter or services agreement. Fees are quoted in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are exclusive of GST unless otherwise stated.

6. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the content of the Site — including text, graphics, logos, methodologies, frameworks, and software — are owned by or licensed to SJV Ventures. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our intellectual property other than as permitted herein.

In respect of client engagements, ownership of deliverables specifically created for a Client will be governed by the applicable engagement letter or services agreement.

7. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential all non-public information received from the other party in connection with an engagement, and to use such information only for the purposes of that engagement. This obligation survives termination for a period of 3 years and does not apply to information that is or becomes publicly known other than through breach of this clause.

SJV Ventures reserves the right to retain copies of client information in accordance with our document retention policies and legal obligations.

8. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term or condition, implied or imposed by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot be lawfully excluded or limited.

To the extent permitted by law, our liability for a breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee is limited (at our election) to:

  • In the case of services: resupply of the services or payment of the cost of resupply

  • We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from decisions made by you based on our advisory services

  • Outstanding invoices remain payable
  • You must return or destroy any confidential materials belonging to SJV Ventures
  • We will provide a final invoice for work completed up to the date of termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time without notice.

12. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute, the parties agree to:

  • First attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith negotiation within 20 business days of written notice of the dispute
  • If unresolved, submit the dispute to mediation conducted by a mediator agreed between the parties, or failing agreement, appointed by the Resolution Institute (Australia)
  • If mediation fails, the dispute may be referred to the courts of Western Australia

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

16. Waiver

Failure by SJV Ventures to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

17. Entire Agreement
