Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Inspected! We provide a platform where users can upload, share and browse videos of properties (Services), as set out in more detail on our website (Site).

In these Terms, when we say you or your, we mean you as an individual if you are accepting these Terms for yourself. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an entity (such as your employer) and you are authorised to do so, then you or your means that entity. When we say we, us, or our, we mean Inspected Holdings Pty Ltd (ACN 685 209 232) and Inspected Pty Ltd (ACN 685 263 469).

These terms and conditions (Terms) form our contract with you, and set out our obligations as a service provider and your obligations as a customer. You cannot use the Services unless you agree to these Terms.

Some capitalised words in these Terms have defined meanings, and each time that word is used in these Terms it has the same meaning. You can find a list of the defined words and their meaning at the end of these Terms.

While we strive to always make the Services available to you, we do not make any promises that these will be available 100% of the time. The Services may be disrupted during certain periods, including, for example, as a result of scheduled or emergency maintenance.

The Services may interact with, or be reliant on, products or services provided by third parties, such as cloud hosting service providers. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for disruptions or downtime caused or contributed to by these third parties.

We will try to provide you with reasonable notice, where possible, of any disruptions to your access to the Services.

When you use the Services, we may create anonymised statistical data from your usage of the Services (for example, through aggregation). Once anonymised, we own that data and may use it for our own purposes, such as to provide and improve the Services, to develop new services or product offerings, to identify business trends, and for other uses we communicate to you. This may include making such anonymised data publicly available, provided it is not compiled using a sample size small enough to make your data or identity identifiable.

By uploading User Content to the Platform, you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty free, sublicensable and transferable right and licence to use, view, distribute, communicate, copy, store, modify and exploit in the User Content in any way reasonably required to provide the Services, promote the Platform in any media or promotional material, and for any other purposes, including our commercial business purposes.

Despite anything to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless in respect of any Liability that we may suffer, incur or otherwise become liable for, arising from or in connection with the User Content you make available on or through the Platform, including as a result of a breach of any party's Intellectual Property Rights.

Acceptable Use and Content Guidelines

You must use our Platform according to our Content Guidelines. If you violate our Content Guidelines, we may take action with respect to your Profile, including disabling or suspending your Profile and, if we do, you must not create another Profile without our permission.

You must adhere to the following guidelines (Acceptable Use and Content Guidelines) when using the Platform:

Acceptable Use: you must access and use our Platform only for legal, authorised, and acceptable purposes. You will not use (or assist others in using) our Platform in ways that:

  • violate, misappropriate, or infringe our rights, our users' rights, or others, including privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or other proprietary rights;
  • are illegal, obscene, pornographic, defamatory, threatening, intimidating, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or instigate or encourage conduct that would be illegal or otherwise inappropriate, including promoting violent crimes;
  • involve publishing falsehoods, misrepresentations, or misleading statements;
  • impersonate someone;
  • involve sending illegal or impermissible communications, such as bulk comments or messaging; or
  • involve any non-personal use of our Platform unless authorised by us.

Content Guidelines: where you upload User Content to the Platform in the form of videos of properties, you must follow the following User Content guidelines:

  • submit only one video of each property to the Platform;
  • obtain all relevant consents or permission (including from the property owner or agent) before filming the property. Start with a friendly ask – always check in with the agent or property owner before filming. It's a great way to build rapport and ensure you're on the same page;
  • focus on showcasing property features and avoid filming of individuals without consent. You should ensure that you capture the property, not the crowd. You should focus on showcasing the features of the home, and kindly respect others and their privacy by avoiding filming buyers or residents without their consent. Do not focus on any person or personal Items/photos or infomat. No audio or visual record of phone numbers. If they are recorded, they need to be cropped out before being posted;
  • respect the privacy of individuals and showcase the property respectfully. You should ensure that you keep your videos focused on the beauty of the home, and avoid filming private or sensitive areas or personal items. This helps ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Focus on positive aspects and potential opportunities. Never put anyone down or belittle anything to do with the agent or the property;
  • ensure that conversations recorded by you are kept private. You should be mindful of audio to respect any private discussions. Let your visuals do the talking! This includes phone numbers and any other confidential chats going on around you in the open house. No discussion on price should ever be mentioned or discussed;
  • maintain professionalism and positivity in all content. You should keep your videos informative, genuine, and positive. We want agents and owners excited to have you back for the next inspection;
  • limit video length to a maximum of 300 seconds. If you want the end of the video to be in your post, you'll need to crop your video down under 5 minutes; and
  • showcase all rooms of the property or otherwise mention the areas not shown.

You can report inappropriate content or copyright violations through the in-app reporting feature or by emailing inspections@property-inspected.com.

Confidential Information and Personal Information

While using the Services, you may share confidential information with us, and you may become aware of confidential information about us. You agree not to use our confidential information, and to take reasonable steps to protect our confidential information from being disclosed without our permission, and we agree to do the same for your confidential information. This also means making sure that any employees, contractors, professional advisors or agents of ours or yours only have access to confidential information on a 'need-to-know basis' (in other words, the disclosure is absolutely necessary), and that they also agree to not misuse or disclose such confidential information.

However, either you or we may share confidential information with legal or regulatory authorities if required by law to do so.

We collect, hold and disclose and use any Personal Information you provide to us in accordance with our privacy policy, available on the Site, and applicable privacy laws.

You must only disclose Personal Information to us if you have the right to do so (such as having the individual's express consent).

We may need to disclose Personal Information to third parties, such as our related companies or our service providers (for example, IT and administrative service providers and our professional advisors).

Where we are required by law to report on our activities, you acknowledge that from time to time we may request certain information from you in order to meet our requirements, and you agree to provide us with such information within the timeframes reasonably requested by us.

This clause 7 will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.

Consumer Law Rights

In some jurisdictions, you may have guarantees, rights or other remedies provided by law (Consumer Law Rights), and these Terms do not restrict your Consumer Law Rights. We will only be bound by your Consumer Law Rights and the express wording of these Terms.

Subject to your Consumer Law Rights, we do not provide a refund for a change of mind or change in circumstance.

If you accept these Terms in Australia, nothing in these Terms should be interpreted to exclude, restrict or modify the application of, or any rights or remedies you may have under, any part of the Australian Consumer Law (as set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)).

This clause 8 will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for, and you release us from liability for, any Liability caused or contributed to by, arising from or in connection with:

  • your computing environment (for example, your hardware, software, information technology and telecommunications services and systems); or
  • any use of the Services by a person or entity other than you.

Regardless of whatever else is stated in these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • neither we or you are liable for any Consequential Loss;
  • a party's liability for any Liability under these Terms will be reduced proportionately to the extent the relevant Liability was caused or contributed to by the actions (or inactions) of the other party, including any failure by the other party to mitigate its loss;
  • (where the Services are not ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption) in respect of any failure by us to comply with relevant Consumer Law Rights, our Liability is limited (at our discretion) to supplying the Services again or paying the cost of having the Services supplied again; and
  • our aggregate liability to you for any Liability arising from or in connection with these Terms will be limited to the amount of any fees paid by you to us during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the Liability, or if you have not paid for the Service, to AU$1,000.
