Terms of Use

BriefMe provides study materials for law students: case briefs, topic notes and model answers. They are educational and informational only.

They are not legal advice, and using BriefMe does not create a lawyer-client relationship between you and us. Do not rely on the materials as a substitute for primary sources (legislation and case law), your course materials, or professional advice. The law changes, and the materials summarise and simplify it; you are responsible for checking anything you rely on against the primary sources.

BriefMe is a study aid. You must not submit any of the materials, in whole or in part (including model answers), as your own work, and you must not use them in any way that breaches your institution’s academic integrity or assessment rules. Complying with those rules is your responsibility.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract to use BriefMe.

You need an account to access purchased materials. Keep your login details confidential, provide accurate information, and let us know promptly if you believe your account has been used without your permission. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account.

BriefMe is sold as a one-off purchase of A$39 for the Contract Law subject. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically. The price is the total amount payable; we are not currently registered for GST, so no GST is added.

Your purchase gives you access to the Contract Law subject for as long as we operate the service. If BriefMe ceases to operate, access ends. If we later change our pricing or introduce a subscription, that change applies to new purchases; it will not remove access to Contract Law that you have already paid for.

If BriefMe is not for you, email us within 30 days of your purchase at hello@briefme.com.au for a full refund, no questions asked.

This 30-day refund is a goodwill policy that we offer in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. It does not replace, limit or take away those rights. Your consumer guarantees (described in clause 12) continue to apply regardless of the 30-day period.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access and use the materials for your own study. We keep all rights we do not expressly grant you. You do not buy or own the materials; you buy access to them.

You must not:

• share your account or login details, or let anyone else use your access;
• copy, reproduce, redistribute, publish, resell or sub-licence the materials, or use them for any commercial purpose;
• scrape, crawl, bulk-download or use any automated means to extract the materials;
• use the materials to train or fine-tune any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model;
• get around, or try to get around, the paywall or any access or security control.

We own or licence all intellectual property in BriefMe, including the materials, their selection and arrangement, the BriefMe name and wordmark, and the software. Nothing in these terms transfers any of that to you.

Subject to clause 12, the materials are provided on an “as is” basis. We do not warrant that they are complete, accurate or current, and we do not guarantee any particular result, grade or exam outcome. You use and rely on the materials at your own risk, and remain responsible for verifying them against the primary sources.

Subject to clause 12, and to the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with BriefMe or these terms is limited, at our option, to re-supplying the materials or paying the cost of having them re-supplied, or to a refund of the amount you paid. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss.

Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, and if any term would do so, it does not apply to that extent.

Where the Australian Consumer Law permits us to limit our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited as set out in clause 11.

We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms, in particular clause 8. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will give you notice and a chance to fix the problem first. You can stop using BriefMe at any time. Clauses that by their nature should survive (including clauses 7 to 12) continue to apply after your access ends.

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes apply from when we post them and only going forward. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to let you know, for example by email or a notice on the site. If you keep using BriefMe after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you and we submit to the courts of that place. Nothing in these terms limits your right to contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission or your state or territory consumer protection body.

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about BriefMe. If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms; you may not transfer yours without our consent. If we do not enforce a term, that is not a waiver of it.
