Digital Subscription Refund and Cancellation Statement

Digital subscriptions provide immediate access to proprietary cost data and services.

Once access has been granted, the subscription is deemed to have commenced. Refunds are not available for change of mind, early cancellation, or where the Customer has accessed, viewed, downloaded, exported or otherwise used the data.

Refunds will only be provided where required under Australian Consumer Law, including where there is a major failure with the service.

Where access has been provided, any cancellation will take effect at the end of the current subscription period, and no pro-rata refunds will be issued.

RESTRICTIONS ON USE

The customer may access and use the Products for internal reference by the Customer’s own personnel, accessed manually and in the ordinary course of preparing estimates, cost plans, or related professional advice.

The Customers must not, and must not permit any third party to:

  • (a) extract, scrape, copy, download in bulk, or systematically reproduce Rawlinsons digital subscriptions by any automated, programmatic, or scripted means, regardless of the purpose or intended use of the extracted data;
  • (b) access or retrieve Rawlinsons digital subscriptions in a manner, volume, or frequency inconsistent with ordinary manual reference by an individual user;
