The specific services to be provided, deliverables, timelines, and fees will be set out in a written proposal, engagement letter, or statement of work agreed between you and us.

We may revise a proposal before it is accepted, and any changes after acceptance must be agreed in writing by both parties.
4. Client Responsibilities
You agree to provide timely, accurate, and complete information reasonably required for us to perform the services. You are responsible for the accuracy of any data, records, and documents you supply. Delays in providing information may affect deliverables and timelines, and we are not liable for outcomes that result from incomplete or inaccurate information provided by you.

- Fees will be set out in the applicable proposal or statement of work and are quoted in Australian dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated.
- Applicable GST is additional and will be shown separately on invoices where applicable.
- Invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice. Overdue amounts may accrue interest and may result in suspension of services.
- Where expenses are incurred on your behalf with prior approval, reasonable expenses will be invoiced at cost with supporting documentation.
6. Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these Terms of Service excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), or any other applicable legislation, which cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by agreement. Where our services are not of a kind ordinarily purchased for personal, domestic, or household use, our liability for breach of consumer guarantees is limited, to the extent permitted by law, at our option, to the supplying of the services again or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to section 6, Straughan Consulting Pty Ltd will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunity, arising from the services or use of this website.
