1. Introduction and definitions
In these terms, "Stewart & Simpson Herald", "we", "us" and "our" mean the publisher of this website. "You" means anyone who visits the website, sends an enquiry, submits material or uses a classified or advertising service. "Content" includes articles, photographs, headlines, listings, comments, designs and other material displayed on the site.
By using the website, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the website. We may update these terms when our services or legal obligations change.
2. User submissions and intellectual property
You are responsible for anything you send to us, including words, images, notices and documents. You confirm that the material is accurate to the best of your knowledge, does not breach another person's rights and can be lawfully shared with us.
When you submit material, you give Stewart & Simpson Herald a worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, reproduce, edit, publish and promote it across our website and related editorial or advertising channels. We may decline, remove or edit a submission to meet legal, safety, editorial or space requirements.
Our original articles, branding, layouts, photographs and other content belong to Stewart & Simpson Herald or its licensors. You may read and share a link for personal, non-commercial purposes. You must not copy a substantial part, scrape our website, republish an article as your own or use our content to promote a product without written permission.
3. Classifieds and advertising
Advertisers and listing owners must provide current, complete information and must have authority to offer the goods, services or opportunities described. You must comply with Australian law and any industry rules that apply to your advertisement.
We can reject, pause or remove an advertisement or listing without notice where it is misleading, unsafe, unlawful, incomplete or unsuitable for our audience. Publication does not mean that Stewart & Simpson Herald recommends, checks or guarantees the advertiser, seller, product or service.
Fees, placement, copy deadlines and any agreed campaign details apply as confirmed between you and Stewart & Simpson Herald. Payment does not guarantee a particular position or response. Refunds, credits or amendments are considered against the booking terms and the circumstances of the request.

- Do not threaten, harass, defame or impersonate another person.
- Do not post discriminatory, sexually explicit or seriously offensive material.
- Do not use listings, contact forms or editorial content for scams, unsolicited marketing or identity theft.
- Do not submit material that infringes copyright, trade marks, privacy or confidentiality.
We may restrict access, remove content or refer suspected unlawful conduct to the relevant authority. We do not promise that every item will be reviewed before publication.
5. Disclaimers, liability and Australian law
Our reporting is provided for general information. Dates, prices, availability, public decisions and other details can change. Check important information with the relevant organisation before relying on it or acting on it.
To the extent permitted by law, Stewart & Simpson Herald does not guarantee that the website will always be available, error-free or secure. We are not responsible for third-party websites, advertisers, sellers, user submissions or transactions between users.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
