Conditions

By using any Material that led you to this page or using an official Hutchies® website and / or tool / systems and our social media pages ("Website"), you accept these terms and conditions ("Agreement") and our associated policies.

This Agreement is between you and J Hutchinson Pty Ltd (ABN 52 009 778 330) trading as Hutchies (referred to in this Agreement as “Hutchies / us / our / we”). This Agreement starts when you first use the Material that led you to this page or when you click “I agree” or otherwise log in to whichever tool or system includes a link to these terms. This Agreement ends when you cease using the Material, log out of the tool or system, or when it is otherwise terminated (whichever is the earlier).

We may make changes to these terms at any time without notice. The version of these terms that applies to you while this Agreement is on foot is the version that was published on this page at the time this Agreement started and may be different from the terms that applied when you last entered into an agreement with us.

Most of these terms refer and relate to our Material, which may include any Material that led you to this page. In these terms, “Material” means all material (including, but not limited to, imagery, text and other content, designs, methodologies, programs, value management, policies, procedures and other intellectual property) created by us and our company members, agents, consultants and subcontractors in, or in the development of, the content (physical or electronic and in any form), websites or tools we have provided to you or you are accessing or which is contained within our various tools or associated attachments.

You may interact with Hutchies using various websites, tools, social media profiles, or communication methods. For security, we may use different domain names to protect our systems from unauthorised access.

When corresponding formally with Hutchies, we will only use @hutchinsonbuilders.com.au and @hutchies.com.au domain names for emails. This ensures authenticity and protects the integrity of our exchanges.

Informally, we may use other domain names to protect the security of our formal domains, but this correspondence is strictly limited to informal content such as Hutchies’ Truth, or automation emails (ie system generated notifications etc).

All Material will be in the English language only unless we tell you otherwise.

If you suspect something suspicious when interacting with Hutchies, for example a website, person or profile purporting to represent our company to try and possibly scam someone, please let us know as soon as possible.

When corresponding on email with Hutchies, be sure to verify the email address uses an official Hutchinson Builders domain name (as specified in ‘Communication’).

We will never ask for identity documents prior to employment, nor a deposit or payment to secure employment with Hutchies.

Be vigilant online, if something sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Report it to Scamwatch if you’re unsure.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Hutchies owns all Material. You may not, except with our express written permission, distribute or commercially exploit any of the Material, transmit it or store it on any other website or other form of electronic retrieval system.

We will give you access to and allow you to use our tools and related services as long as you only do that in line with these terms. You probably have to provide your own device and internet access, though – obviously!

From time to time we may make changes to the Material including functionality of some tools or aspects of some of our services and we will not always be able to give you prior notice of that.

We may terminate your access to any tools, services or Material at any time without notice and for any reason.

We also reserve the right to withdraw or void any or all of the Material at any time without notice.

If our tool or other service you are using allows you to communicate directly with us or anyone else, you must always be respectful and courteous in those communications. Violations may result in warnings, suspension or termination of access to the relevant tool or service.

When using our tools, services and Material, you must not transmit to them (or use them to transmit) anything unlawful, dangerous or disrespectful or use them in any way that could be unlawful or could cause us to be legally liable to someone. 

You must also not try to violate any security measures, reverse engineer any part of the tools, services or Material, access data not intended for you, interfere with anyone else’s use of our tools, services or Material or launch any unauthorised programs or scripts in connection with any of our tools, services or Material.

Any login credentials such as usernames and / or passwords allocated to you are yours and yours alone. You must always keep them confidential and not allow anyone else to use them unless we specifically tell you otherwise.

We will assume that the person who logs in and accesses our tools, services or Material using your login credentials is you and you will be responsible for all activities of that person while they are accessing tools, services or Material using your credentials.

This Material is provided to you for information only and is not binding on us unless we say in the Material that it is. You must not rely on any of the Material as being advice of any sort and may only use it either for the specific purposes we have told you, or if we have not specified any particular purpose, for your own personal and non-commercial purposes.

We will have no responsibility or liability to you arising from or in connection with your use of any Material for unauthorised purposes. We reserve the right to change or remove any content within the Material at any time without notice. If a validity period or expiration date is specified in the Material, whatever it is about is automatically void / expired after that period or date unless we agree in writing to an extension.

Our standard validity period is 60 days which will apply unless we have agreed otherwise with you or unless we have set a different validity period in the Material.

The information contained in the Material is presented by way of general indicative and comparative information only and is not to be relied upon in any way for any planning, building or feasibility purpose. We do not represent that any figures contained in the Material reflect the likely cost of any proposed project of any particular quality or standard and we do not accept any responsibility or liability to you or any other party arising out of your or their reliance in any way upon any information set out in this Material.

All costs and related information in this Material reflect only indicative pricing provided at a specific point in time and should not be relied upon as representing the likely cost of any specific future construction. The information is provided for comparative purposes and does not replace the need for advice from professional advisors such as quantity surveyors and may be affected by market conditions. Costs and related information are impacted by many different factors, not all of which are reflected in this Material.

We disclaim any responsibility or liability to you arising from or in connection with your use of this Material (including documents within the Material authored by third parties) other than in accordance with these conditions.

Our tools and Material are provided to you on an “as is” basis and, other than as set out in these terms, all warranties, including any implied warranties for fitness for use or merchantability or any other duties required under common law, are excluded to the extent permitted by law.

We do not warrant that your use of our tools, services or Material will yield any particular result for you or anyone else nor that it will meet any needs you or anyone else may have.

Any information we give you, including intellectual property, is confidential. This will usually be obvious from the circumstances or it will be specifically marked as confidential. You must only use it for the stated purpose and not share it with any third party without our prior written approval. You agree to keep it confidential and ensure your employees, agents, and subcontractors do the same. It must not be disclosed without our prior written approval.

We may give you access to third party tools / software / applications. If so, you must comply with these terms when using those things, but you may also have to comply with terms set by those third parties. If you breach their terms, that will also be a breach of this Agreement.

We have no control over what may be in such third party things at the times you access them (as they are not our tools) and so we cannot be held responsible for anything contained in them or for any consequences to you or anyone else arising out of your use of them. We disclaim any responsibility or liability to you arising from or in connection with your use of or reliance upon any such things for any purpose.

Where the Material provided includes content authored by third parties, any opinions contained in that content may not represent our views and we disclaim any responsibility or liability to you arising from or in connection with your use of or reliance upon any such opinions for any purpose. 

Sometimes we include links to other websites through our sites. These external sites belong to other folks, though, so Hutchies has no control over the content you’ll find there, or whether they work properly. Linking to other sites also doesn’t necessarily mean that we recommend or endorse the stuff that people are saying there, either.

Hutchies is quite fond of our websites, and we always try to keep them running smoothly. Sometimes technical stuff fails, though, and if a site is down, we take no responsibility and will not be liable for it being temporarily unavailable due to technical issues beyond our control.

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Any disputes relating to this disclaimer will be subject to the State of Queensland, Australia.

We reserve all our legal rights and remedies in relation to any infringement of our rights in respect of this Agreement and any Material.

All restrictions, licences granted by you and all disclaimers and limitations of our liability in these terms will continue after termination of this Agreement, even when you can no longer use or access the relevant tool, service or Material.
