Terms of Service
Last updated: Draft
These Terms of Service govern your use of Statutory Demand Online and the preparation and service of a statutory demand through the Website. They form a binding agreement between you and Statutory Demand Online.
Draft scaffold — the sections below set out the structure a lawyer must complete. Bracketed text marks content pending legal drafting.
1. The service
[Pending legal drafting: describe the $999 fixed-fee statutory demand preparation and service, exactly what is delivered, and the expected turnaround.]
2. Not legal advice, and when a solicitor–client relationship arises
[Pending legal drafting: reconcile the "lawyer-reviewed" nature of the service with the position that this is document preparation and service, and state if and when a solicitor–client relationship is formed.]
3. Eligibility and your responsibilities
[Pending legal drafting: the debt must be due and payable and not genuinely disputed; the statutory minimum (confirm the current prescribed amount); the accuracy of information you provide; and appropriate use.]
4. Fees, payment and GST
[Pending legal drafting: $999 inc. GST, what it covers, when it is payable, and accepted payment methods.]
5. Cancellation and refunds
[Pending legal drafting: cancellation rights and the refund policy, including once preparation or service of the demand has commenced.]
6. Service of the demand and excluded work
[Pending legal drafting: how the demand is served and applicable timeframes, and the work that is excluded (for example, responding to disputes, court applications, or winding-up proceedings).]
7. Third-party processing
[Pending legal drafting: information submitted through the form is processed by Syntaq and other service providers — cross-reference the Privacy Policy.]
8. Limitation of liability
[Pending legal drafting: limitations and exclusions of liability to the extent permitted by law — cross-reference the Legal Disclaimer.]
9. Governing law and jurisdiction
[Pending legal drafting: the governing law and jurisdiction (confirm the relevant Australian state or territory).]
10. Complaints
[Pending legal drafting: how to raise a complaint and the practice's complaints-handling process.]
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a new version on the Website, effective from the date it is posted.
