Changes & Updates

We may periodically update these terms. Any changes will take effect upon posting or direct communication. Continued use of our services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Eligibility & Compliance

Our services are designed for users aged 18 or older. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept these terms on your behalf. Additionally, our services must only be used in compliance with local laws—users outside permissible areas assume full responsibility for legal compliance.

Intellectual Property

All rights to our website design, content, trademarks, and materials belong to The Back-Up Hairdresser or our licensors. These assets are protected under Australian and international intellectual property laws. Users are granted a limited license to access and print materials for personal or internal business purposes, but reproduction or redistribution without permission is prohibited.

User Submissions & Responsibilities

By submitting content (suggestions, feedback, or other contributions), you grant us the right to use, modify, or share those materials without obligation. Submitted content must be lawful, non-discriminatory, and free of false information. Users must own or have permission for any materials they submit and agree that submissions are not confidential.

Prohibited Activities

To maintain integrity, users must not:

  • Misrepresent themselves or others.

  • Engage in fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful activities.

  • Disrupt service functionality or interfere with security systems.

  • Use bots or automated tools to manipulate services.

  • Harvest user data or engage in unauthorized commercial exploitation.

  • Upload malicious content, including viruses or excessive spam.

  • Violate any local, national, or international regulations.

Reviews & Feedback

Users may provide honest reviews reflecting their personal experiences. However, reviews must not contain false statements, offensive language, or unfair competition tactics. By submitting reviews, you grant us the right to use, modify, and distribute your feedback globally.

Third-Party Content & External Links

Our services may include third-party links or external content. We do not verify or endorse third-party materials. Engaging with external sites is at your own discretion, and third-party terms apply. Transactions made through external services are not our responsibility.

Service Management & Termination

We reserve the right to:

  • Monitor platform activity and enforce compliance.

  • Restrict or remove access without prior notice if terms are violated.

  • Suspend accounts engaged in fraudulent or unlawful behaviour.

Legal & Enforcement

These terms remain in effect for as long as you use our services. Violation of terms may result in legal action, termination of access, and further consequences as deemed necessary.

By continuing to use The Back-Up Hairdresser, you agree to these terms and commit to maintaining professional, ethical engagement within our services.

Service Adjustments & Availability

We reserve the right to modify, update, or remove aspects of our services at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we are not obligated to continually update details within our services.

We are not liable for any changes, price adjustments, or temporary or permanent suspension of services. Service availability may be affected by maintenance, technical issues, or system upgrades, resulting in occasional delays or interruptions.

At our discretion, we may revise, suspend, or discontinue services without warning. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any loss, inconvenience, or damages arising from service disruptions. We are not obligated to provide ongoing maintenance, support, or updates unless explicitly stated.

Service Oversight & Compliance

We have the authority, though not the obligation, to:

  • Monitor service activity to ensure compliance with our terms.

  • Take legal action against individuals who violate our policies or applicable laws, including reporting violations to authorities.

  • Restrict, limit, or remove access to contributions or content as needed.

  • Deactivate files or materials that may strain system performance.

  • Manage service functionality to safeguard operations and enhance performance.

Terms of Use & Termination

These terms apply as long as you use our services. However, we may restrict or terminate access to any individual or entity at our discretion and without prior notice—particularly in cases of policy violations or non-compliance with legal requirements.

If your access is suspended or terminated, you may not create a new account under your own name, a false name, or a third party’s identity.

Additionally, we may pursue legal action, including civil or criminal measures, if necessary to address breaches of our terms.

Limitation of Liability

We, including our team members and representatives, cannot be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from the use of our services. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of profits, revenue, or data—even if we were aware that such losses were possible.

Our liability for any claim, regardless of the cause, is strictly limited to the amount you paid to us within the one-month period before the issue arose. Some laws may impose different requirements, meaning certain limitations may not apply to you, granting additional rights under local or international regulations.

Indemnification

By using our services, you agree to protect, defend, and indemnify The Back-Up Hairdresser, including its affiliates, officers, team members, and partners, against any claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of our services.

  • Any violation of these terms.

  • Misrepresentation of warranties under this agreement.

  • Infringement of third-party rights, including intellectual property.

  • Any actions that cause harm to other users or businesses.

If any claim requires indemnification, we reserve the right to assume control at your expense, and you agree to fully cooperate in resolving the matter. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any legal proceedings related to such claims.

User Data Responsibility

While we maintain records related to service usage and performance, you are solely responsible for safeguarding any data you transmit or generate while using our services. We are not liable for any loss or corruption of data, and you waive any legal claims regarding such matters.

Electronic Communications & Signatures

By using our services—including sending messages, submitting forms, or entering agreements—you consent to engaging in electronic communications. You also agree that any electronically provided notices, agreements, or disclosures satisfy legal requirements for written communication.

Additionally, electronic signatures, contracts, and transactions are fully valid within our services. You waive any right to require original signatures or physical records for transactions initiated or completed through our platform.

Restraint of Trade Clause (QLD, Australia)

1. Purpose of Restriction

This clause is intended to protect the legitimate interests of The Back-Up Hairdresser by preventing unfair competition and misuse of confidential business information.

2. Post-Contractual Restrictions

Upon the completion of their contract or engagement, the Contractor or Casual Employee agrees not to solicit clients or operate a competing service within the following limits:

  • Within 10 km of any salon they were assigned to by The Back-Up Hairdresser.

  • For a period of 6 months following the end of their contract or employment

3. Confidential Business Information

The Contractor or Casual Employee agrees not to use confidential business information acquired during their time with The Back-Up Hairdresser for personal or commercial benefit outside the scope of their previous role.

4. Enforceability & Fairness

a. This restriction is limited to what is necessary to protect the business interests of The Back-Up Hairdresser. b. If any part of this clause is deemed unenforceable, the courts may adjust its terms to ensure it remains valid to the greatest extent legally permissible.

5. Exceptions

This clause does not prevent the Contractor or Casual Employee from working for other salons or offering services independently, provided they do so outside the specified time frame and geographical limits.

Miscellaneous Provisions

These Terms, along with any associated policies and guidelines, form the complete agreement between you and The Back-Up Hairdresser. If we do not immediately enforce a specific provision, it does not mean we waive the right to do so in the future.

Our Terms are applied to the fullest extent permitted by law. We may assign or delegate our rights and obligations as needed. Additionally, unforeseen circumstances—such as natural disasters, technical failures, or other disruptions beyond our control—release us from liability for any resulting delays or damages.

If any section of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be removed or adjusted without affecting the remainder of the agreement. These Terms do not establish an employment, agency, or partnership relationship between us and any users.

By using our services, you agree that their digital format and lack of physical signatures do not affect their validity or enforceability.
