To the fullest extent permitted by law (including the ACL), Graded’s total liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform will not exceed the greater of (a) the total subscription fees you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) A$100.

We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia.

International users acknowledge that the Platform is operated from Australia, and access from other jurisdictions is at their own initiative and subject to local laws.

Before initiating formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us at legal@ongraded.com so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or via an in-app notice at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
