Draft — requires legal review before publishing

A starting-point draft only. Have your lawyer review and adapt this before publishing, particularly the liability, disclaimer and governing-law clauses. Delete this box before the page goes live.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using this website, our courses or our membership services, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Who we are

Project Rescue ("we", "us", "our") is a community initiative operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME]. We are not a registered charity. These terms apply to everyone who uses our website, free courses and paid memberships.

3. Our courses are educational only

Project Rescue courses provide general educational information about first aid, emergency preparedness, self-reliance and practical skills. They are not nationally recognised accredited training, and they do not result in a formal qualification, certificate or licence. If you require accredited, nationally recognised training, please obtain it from a Registered Training Organisation such as our RTO partner.

4. Not a substitute for professional or emergency help

Our content is general information only. It is not professional, medical, legal or emergency advice, and it is not tailored to your specific situation. In an emergency, always call 000 (or your local emergency number) immediately. You are responsible for deciding whether and how to act on anything you learn from our content, and for your own safety and the safety of others.

5. No guarantee of outcome

We make no representation or promise that any technique, method or information shown will be safe, suitable or effective in any particular situation. Real emergencies are unpredictable and involve risks outside our control. Nothing on this website creates a duty of care between us and you or any other person.

6. Assumption of risk

Practising physical skills (including first aid techniques) carries inherent risks. You take part in, and apply, any skill shown in our courses at your own risk, and you are responsible for ensuring it is safe and appropriate to do so in your circumstances.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any loss, injury, death, damage or cost (whether direct, indirect or consequential) arising from or in connection with your use of, or reliance on, our website, courses, content or memberships. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under applicable consumer law that cannot lawfully be excluded. [Lawyer to tailor to applicable consumer law and confirm wording.]

8. Memberships and payments

Paid memberships are governed by our Membership Terms, which form part of these terms. Backing the mission is a paid membership with rewards — it is not a donation and is not an investment.

9. Intellectual property

All content on this site — including courses, videos, text, graphics, logos and branding — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by law. You may access and use it for your own personal, non-commercial learning only. You must not copy, reproduce, resell, redistribute, publicly perform or commercially exploit any of it without our prior written permission.

10. Acceptable use

  • Don't misuse the site, attempt to breach its security, or interfere with its operation for others.
  • Don't upload or submit unlawful, harmful, misleading or infringing content.
  • Don't represent our courses as accredited training, or imply an endorsement, affiliation or qualification we have not given.
  • Don't use our content or branding to mislead others or bring the community into disrepute.

11. Third-party platforms and links

Some courses and memberships are delivered through third-party platforms (such as YouTube and Patreon), and our site may link to other websites. Your use of those platforms and sites is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not ours, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

12. Rewards

Community rewards, points and badges recognise participation. They have no cash value, are not a financial product, and are not offered as an investment. They may be varied or discontinued. See our $RESCUE disclaimer for more.

13. Availability and changes to the site

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website, courses or memberships at any time. We don't guarantee the site will always be available or error-free.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always be published on this page with its last-updated date. Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.

15. Governing law

[Lawyer to insert governing law and jurisdiction. Note this needs care given the entity structure and international audience.]
