2.Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use apply when you access or use the Anchor Horizon website at anchorhorizon.com.au.

By continuing to use the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue your use of the website.

These terms apply only to the use of our website. Professional services provided by Anchor Horizon are governed separately by an accepted engagement letter and our applicable terms of engagement.

3.General information only

The information on this website is provided for general information and educational purposes only. It does not take into account your particular circumstances and does not constitute tax, accounting, business, legal, financial product or other professional advice.

Taxation laws, regulatory requirements and administrative practices change regularly. Although we take reasonable care when preparing website content, we do not guarantee that all information is complete, current or suitable for your particular circumstances.

You should not act, or refrain from acting, solely on the basis of information published on this website. Appropriate professional advice should be obtained before making a taxation, financial, legal or business decision.

Unless expressly agreed in writing and appropriately authorised, Anchor Horizon does not provide legal advice or financial product advice.

4.No client relationship

Accessing this website, booking a consultation, submitting an enquiry or communicating with us through the website does not, by itself, create an accountant–client, tax agent–client or other professional relationship.

A professional engagement only begins when:

• The scope and terms of the engagement have been agreed in writing
• Anchor Horizon has accepted the engagement
• Any required identity-verification, conflict and onboarding procedures have been completed
• Any other stated engagement conditions have been satisfied.

Submitting information through the website does not mean that we have accepted responsibility for a tax, lodgement, payment or other deadline. You should obtain confirmation from us before relying on Anchor Horizon to undertake any time-sensitive work.

5.Engagement terms

Descriptions of services on this website are general summaries only. They do not constitute an offer, guarantee a particular outcome or establish the scope of a professional engagement.

The scope, responsibilities, fees, timing, limitations and other conditions applying to professional services will be set out in the relevant engagement documents.

If there is an inconsistency between these Website Terms of Use and an accepted engagement letter or terms of engagement, the engagement documents will apply to the professional services covered by that engagement.

6.Website availability and accuracy

We may update, remove, restrict, suspend or discontinue any part of the website where reasonably necessary.

We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors, viruses or other harmful components.

While we take reasonable steps to maintain accurate website content, information may become outdated or contain errors or omissions. We welcome notification of any apparent error at hello@anchorhorizon.com.au.

7.Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website — including its text, branding, graphics, layout, logo, documents, photographs and other materials — is owned by or licensed to Anchor Horizon and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view, download or print reasonable extracts for your own personal or internal business reference, provided that you:

• Do not alter the content
• Do not remove copyright, trademark or attribution notices
• Do not represent the content as your own
• Do not use it commercially or redistribute it without our prior written consent.

No other right or licence is granted to use Anchor Horizon’s name, logo, branding or website content.

8.Acceptable use

You must not:

• Use the website for an unlawful, fraudulent or improper purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, connected systems or information
• Interfere with the operation, security or availability of the website
• Upload or transmit malicious code, viruses or disruptive material
• Use automated tools to scrape, copy or extract website content without our written permission
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation
• Use the website in a way that infringes another person’s rights
• Frame, reproduce or commercially exploit the website without our written consent.

We may restrict or block access where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached or the website’s security is at risk.

9.Enquiries and electronic communications

You are responsible for ensuring that information submitted through the website is accurate and that you are authorised to provide it.

Electronic communications can be delayed, misdirected or intercepted. You should not send highly sensitive information through a general website enquiry form unless we have instructed you to do so.

Where sensitive documents or information are required, we may ask you to use an approved secure portal or another appropriate delivery method.

An enquiry or document should not be treated as received or actioned until Anchor Horizon confirms receipt. Please contact us directly if your communication concerns an urgent deadline.

10.Third-party websites and services

This website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites and services, including government agencies, appointment-booking platforms, client portals and payment providers.

These links and integrations are provided for convenience. Unless expressly stated, Anchor Horizon does not control or endorse those third parties and is not responsible for their availability, content, security, accuracy or privacy practices.

Your use of a third-party website or service is subject to that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.

11.Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Anchor Horizon is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from:

• Your use of, or inability to use, this website
• Reliance on general information published on the website
• Website interruptions, errors or security incidents outside our reasonable control
• Third-party websites, platforms or services
• Information you submit through an inappropriate or unsecured communication channel.

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, remedy or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including under the Australian Consumer Law.

Liability arising from professional services is governed by the relevant engagement documents, applicable law and any applicable professional standards scheme.

12.Privacy

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws.

Our Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect, how we use and disclose it, how it is protected and how you may request access or correction or make a privacy complaint.

These obligations apply alongside the specific terms of each professional engagement.
