Consumer Guarantees
Under the Australian Consumer Law, consumers have certain rights which cannot be excluded, including guarantees as to the acceptable quality and fitness for purpose of goods and services.

Any dispute arising from these terms shall first be attempted to be resolved through informal negotiation. If that fails, either party may seek resolution through the Australian courts.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia.

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new terms on this site. Your continued use of the website after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
Refunds and Cancellations
We offer refunds within 14 days of initial subscription purchase. After this period, no refunds will be provided for any unused portion of the service. To request a refund within the eligible period, please contact our support team.
You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period, and no further charges will be made.
Event Tickets and Membership
NodeFest event tickets purchased with a NodePro membership discount require a valid, active membership at the time of the event. If your membership expires before NodeFest, any discounted event tickets will be automatically cancelled and become invalid. Refunds cannot be guaranteed for cancelled event tickets due to inactive memberships.
It is your responsibility to ensure your membership is active and renewed before NodeFest to maintain validity of any discounted event tickets.
