Updates to our Terms
We may update or otherwise vary these Terms at any time and any such changes will be posted to this site. Please check the terms regularly to ensure you are up to date.
Warranties and disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no representations and give no guarantees or warranties about our Site or its Content, including (without limitation) that the content is complete, accurate, reliable, up-to-date and suitable for any particular purpose.
In using this site you recognize and acknowledge:
The town planning system is complex, with many variables which change from property to property and from one development proposal to another. DA Next Door cannot, and does not, purport to cover every variable or individual circumstance.
DA Next Door provides general information only which may not cover or address matters particular to an individual development application or property. It does not consider your individual or specific needs, objectives or circumstances.
In order to simplify and make accessible the information offered to persons unfamiliar with the planning system, details, which may be important to you, may be omitted or modified in a way that affects their usefulness or accuracy to you. In some circumstances, the general information offered may not be accurate or appropriate to your needs and circumstances.
Legislation affecting town planning controls changes frequently. DA Next Door is updated from time to time but we explicitly do not purport to catch revisions to legislation as and when they occur.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no representation and give no guarantee or warranty about our site and its content, including, without limitation, that the information provided is accurate, current and reliable for any particular purpose.
You read, use and act on our Site and the Content at your own risk.

Security
Whilst we use our best endeavours to ensure your privacy and security, it’s an unfortunate fact of life that no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as 100% secure. In using our website you agree to not expose yourself to unreasonable risk (for example by entering your personal details on publicly visible, non secure networks) and you acknowledge that for reasons outside of our control:
the use of internet-based services inherently involves privacy and security limitations in which your data may be inadvertently revealed to a third party without your knowledge or consent, ; and
data transmitted by you may be recorded or tampered with by unauthorised third parties, and cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you must indemnify us, and hold us harmless, against any Liability suffered or incurred arising from or in connection with your use of our Site or any breach of these Terms or any applicable laws by you. This indemnity is a continuing obligation, independent from the other obligations under these Terms, and continues after these Terms end. It is not necessary for any Liability to be incurred before enforcing a right of indemnity under these Terms.

We may at any time and without notice, discontinue our site. We may also preclude access to any person, at our sole discretion and without disclosing the reason for that exclusion to you. We are not responsible for any Liability you may suffer arising from or in connection with any such discontinuance or exclusion.
In the event of Termination of the DA Next Door, or of our Terms or any part thereof, all restrictions and obligations imposed by these Terms and limitations of liability will survive.
Severance
If any provision of these Terms is held by a competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable or otherwise becomes illegal, in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions of these Terms and the remainder of the provisions in question shall not be affected.
