These terms explain the rules for using Kalgoorlie.info. By using the website, creating a marketplace account, sending a message or posting a listing, you agree to these terms.
About Kalgoorlie.info
Kalgoorlie.info is an independent local information website for Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the Western Australian Goldfields. It provides travel information, local guides, directory information, contact forms and a moderated local marketplace.
The site is not affiliated with the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Tourism WA, mining companies, event organisers, accommodation providers or marketplace users unless clearly stated.
Use of the website
You must use the site lawfully, honestly and respectfully. You must not:
- post or send false, misleading, deceptive, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory or unlawful material;
- use the site for scams, phishing, spam, malware, scraping, credential harvesting or automated abuse;
- interfere with the site, hosting, security controls, accounts, forms or marketplace moderation;
- upload files that contain malware, hidden payloads or content you do not have the right to use;
- pretend to be someone else or misrepresent your connection with a business, organisation or item.
Information on the site
We try to keep information useful and accurate, but local details can change. Opening hours, prices, road conditions, accommodation availability, fuel prices, events, attractions, phone numbers and public services should be checked with the relevant provider or official source before you rely on them.
Content on this site is general information only. It is not legal, financial, medical, safety, mining, prospecting, emergency, migration or travel advice.
Marketplace role
The Kalgoorlie.info Marketplace is a moderated local noticeboard. The website is not the seller, buyer, broker, auctioneer, payment provider, delivery provider, inspector, employer, landlord, tenant, agent or guarantor for user transactions.
Users deal directly with each other. Sellers and buyers are responsible for their own listings, messages, inspections, payments, pickup, delivery, taxes, permits, licences, product safety, ownership rights and compliance with applicable Australian law.
Marketplace user responsibilities
If you post or respond to a marketplace listing, you must:
- provide accurate listing information, including price, condition, availability and location;
- have the right to sell, swap, give away, rent or offer the item or service;
- not list stolen, unsafe, recalled, counterfeit, prohibited, illegal or restricted items;
- not make misleading claims about goods, services, prices, business status, condition or urgency;
- close or update listings when they are no longer current;
- meet safely, inspect items before payment where practical, and be cautious with deposits, shipping requests and identity documents.
Consumer law and private sales
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, product safety duty, liability, remedy or right that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or another applicable Australian law.
Australian Consumer Law may apply where a seller is acting in trade or commerce or as a business. Many consumer guarantees do not apply to one-off private sales between individuals where the seller is not running a business, but laws about title, safety, fraud, theft and misleading conduct may still matter.
Users are responsible for understanding whether their transaction is a private sale, a business sale, a rental, a service, employment, regulated work or another type of arrangement.
Moderation
We may approve, reject, edit, hide, remove, expire or report listings, accounts, messages or uploaded images where we consider it necessary for safety, legality, spam control, privacy, technical operation, community trust or site quality.
Moderation does not mean that we have verified a listing, user, item, service, price, condition, ownership, business identity or legal compliance.
Accounts and security
You are responsible for keeping your account secure. Use a strong password, keep your email account secure and tell us if you suspect unauthorised access. We may suspend or close accounts that appear compromised, abusive, unlawful or inconsistent with these terms.
Google sign-in
If you use Google sign-in, Google confirms your email address and sends us basic profile information. You still need to complete the marketplace profile and accept the marketplace agreement before posting listings.
Directory and submitted updates
Directory and local information may be supplied by businesses, community members or public sources. If you ask us to publish or correct information, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you have permission to provide it.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, website design, text, structure and original content are owned by Kalgoorlie.info or used with permission. You may link to public pages and quote short excerpts with attribution. You must not copy large parts of the site, republish it as your own, or scrape it for a competing database without permission.
By submitting marketplace listings, images, corrections or other content, you give us permission to host, display, resize, moderate and remove that content for the operation and promotion of the site and marketplace. You keep ownership of your own submitted content.
Third-party links and services
The site may link to third-party websites, maps, accommodation providers, event pages, official services, Google, Addressfinder or other tools. Those services are controlled by their own operators and may have their own terms and privacy policies.
Availability
We may change, pause or discontinue parts of the site at any time. We do not promise uninterrupted access, permanent storage of listings or messages, or that every feature will remain available.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site owners, operators and contributors are not liable for loss, damage, claims, disputes, non-payment, non-delivery, defects, personal injury, business loss, data loss or other consequences arising from user listings, user conduct, third-party services, changed local information, or your use of the site.
Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.
Indemnity
You agree to be responsible for claims, costs, losses or damage caused by your unlawful use of the site, your breach of these terms, your marketplace listing, your uploaded content, or your dealings with other users.
Privacy
Our handling of personal information is explained in the Privacy policy.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the site changes, when new services are added, or when legal or operational requirements change. The current version is published on this page.
