References to "we", "us", and "our" refer to National Crime Stats. References to "you" refer to the person accessing or using the Website.
We may amend these terms at any time by publishing updated terms on this page. Your continued use of the Website after any amendment constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. You should review these terms periodically.
The content on this Website is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and must not be relied upon as such. The law relating to estates, probate, succession, undue influence, elder financial abuse, and related areas is complex and varies between jurisdictions. Information on this Website may not reflect the most current legal developments and may not apply to your specific circumstances.
You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any information on this Website without first obtaining specific legal advice tailored to your circumstances. Use of this Website or communication through it does not create a solicitor-client relationship. A solicitor-client relationship only arises once we have confirmed in writing that we are acting for you, following a conflict check and acceptance of your instructions.
Nothing on this Website guarantees or warrants any particular outcome in any legal matter. Results in legal proceedings depend on the specific facts, available evidence, applicable law, and the exercise of judicial discretion. Past outcomes described on this Website are not indicative of future results.
This Website relates to the law of New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. The information may not be relevant or applicable in other Australian states or territories, or in other countries. These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of New South Wales. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and any courts that may hear appeals from those courts.
