Welcome to Currawong Books Press. This website, located at www.currawongbookspress.com.au (the Site), is owned and operated by Currawong Books Press (ABN 47 484 299 533) (we, us, our).

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Website Terms of Use (Terms). If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Important note (not legal advice): these Terms are general information only and are not legal advice. If you need legal advice, please speak to a qualified Australian lawyer.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

When you use the Site (including browsing, subscribing to our newsletter, or placing an order), you confirm that:

• you have read and understood these Terms; and
• you agree to be bound by them.

If you use the Site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

2. Intellectual property (our content)

Unless we say otherwise, all content on the Site is owned by Currawong Books Press or licensed to us. This includes (without limitation) all text, images, illustrations, artwork, photographs, designs, logos, book titles, product pages, and newsletter content.

Australian copyright and other intellectual property laws protect this content.

You may:

• view the Site and use it for your personal, non-commercial purposes; and
• print or save a reasonable portion of content for your personal use.

You must not, without our written permission:

• copy, reproduce, publish, sell, licence, distribute, or create derivative works from any Site content;
• use any illustrations, artwork, or “Clara the Carolling Currawong” assets in a way that suggests an endorsement or relationship with another brand; or
• remove any copyright or attribution notices.

3. Using the Site (permitted use)

You agree to use the Site lawfully and respectfully. You must not:

• use the Site for any unlawful, misleading, harmful, or abusive purpose;
• interfere with the Site’s operation or security (including attempting to access parts of the Site you are not authorised to access);
• introduce viruses, malicious code, or other harmful material; or
• use the Site to send unsolicited messages (spam).

We may suspend or restrict access to the Site if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.

4. The Currawong Letter (newsletter subscription)

If you subscribe to The Currawong Letter, you agree that we may send you emails about our books, publishing updates, and related news.

• Unsubscribing. You can unsubscribe at any time using the “unsubscribe” link in any email. If you have trouble unsubscribing, contact us at hello@currawongbookspress.com.au.
• Cost. The newsletter is currently free unless we tell you otherwise.
• Delivery. We do our best to send emails reliably, but we can’t guarantee exact timing or uninterrupted delivery.

Our collection and handling of personal information is covered by our Privacy Policy.

5. Pre-orders and purchases (online shop)

We may offer books and other products for sale on the Site from time to time (including pre-orders).

5.1 Prices and currency

• All prices are in Australian dollars (AUD) unless stated otherwise.
• Prices and postage/handling charges may change at any time before you place an order.
• If we make an obvious pricing mistake, we may cancel the order and refund you.

5.2 Availability and order acceptance

• All orders (including pre-orders) are subject to availability.
• Submitting an order is an offer by you to buy. We accept your order when we confirm it (for example, by email) and/or when we dispatch the product.
• Because we are a small, slow-publishing press and sometimes print in limited quantities, we may need to limit quantities per customer or cancel/refund orders if stock is not available.

5.3 Pre-orders

If a product is offered as a pre-order:

• the estimated release/dispatch date is an estimate only and may change;
• we may dispatch pre-orders in the order they are received (or in batches); and
• if we can’t supply your pre-order, we will refund you.

5.4 Delivery

• We deliver to the locations described at checkout (or on the Site).
• Delivery timeframes are estimates only. Delays can happen due to postage networks, weather, or events outside our control.
• Risk in the products passes to you on delivery to the address you provide.
• Please check your delivery details carefully. If you provide incorrect details and the parcel is returned or lost, additional postage charges may apply.

5.5 Consumer guarantees (Australian Consumer Law)

Nothing in these Terms removes or limits any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). If the ACL gives you a guarantee, right, or remedy, those rights continue to apply.

6. Third-party links

The Site may include links to third-party websites (for example, social media platforms, retailers, payment providers, or service providers). We provide these links for convenience only.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices. Use third-party sites at your own risk and check their terms.

7. Limitation of liability

We take care in running the Site, but the Site and its content are provided “as is”.

To the maximum extent permitted by law (and subject to the ACL and any non-excludable rights):

• we do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
• we are not responsible for loss or damage caused by events outside our reasonable control; and
• we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss (like loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or loss of data) arising from your use of the Site.

Where our liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the minimum amount required by law.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Tasmania, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Tasmania and the courts that may hear appeals from those courts.

9. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. By continuing to use the Site after changes are posted, you agree to the updated Terms.
