1. About these Terms
These Terms of Use apply to your access to and use of the Contracx website, including its content, features and contact forms.
In these Terms, “Contracx”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Contracx.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the website.
2. General information only
The information published on this website is general in nature and is provided for information purposes only.
Website content:
- Does not take account of your organisation’s circumstances, objectives, contracts or requirements
- Does not constitute legal, financial, taxation, engineering or other regulated professional advice
- Is not a substitute for advice based on your specific circumstances
- Should not be relied upon as the sole basis for a commercial, contractual or project decision

You should obtain appropriate professional advice before acting on information published on this website.
3. No legal advice
Contracx provides contract management and commercial advisory services. We do not provide legal advice.
Any discussion on this website concerning contracts, subcontract terms, risks, obligations, notices, variations, delays, liabilities or similar matters is presented from a commercial and contract-management perspective only.
Where legal interpretation, legal rights, legal remedies or regulated professional services are required, advice should be obtained from an appropriately qualified professional.
4. No professional relationship
Accessing this website, downloading or using its content, or contacting Contracx does not create a consultant-client, adviser-client, fiduciary or other professional relationship.
A professional relationship will arise only when Contracx and the client enter into a separate written engagement agreement.
The scope, deliverables, fees, responsibilities, confidentiality arrangements and other conditions applicable to professional services will be governed by that engagement agreement. If there is an inconsistency between these Terms and an engagement agreement, the engagement agreement will apply to the professional services.
