11. Editorial Content Disclaimer
Curvyme Magazine publishes journalism, analysis, and commentary on women’s advancement and related topics. While we strive for accuracy and cite credible sources, Our Content is provided for general information and editorial purposes only.

You should seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional before acting on any information found on the Site.
We make reasonable efforts to keep Our Content current and accurate, but we do not warrant that it is complete, error-free, or up to date, and we may update or correct Content at any time.
12. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site and all Content and Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or availability.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors, viruses, or other harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected.
Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (including the Australian Consumer Law) or any other applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where our goods or services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, and to the extent we are able to limit our liability, our liability for a breach of such a guarantee is limited, at our option, to re-supplying the relevant services or paying the cost of having them re-supplied.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to the Australian Consumer Law provisions in Section 12, Curvyme Magazine and its owners, officers, employees, contributors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Site or any Content, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the extent our liability cannot be wholly excluded but may be limited, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us, if any, to access the relevant Content or Service, or (b) AUD $100.
14. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Curvyme Magazine and its owners, officers, employees, contributors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your User Content; (c) your breach of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
15. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have breached these Terms. Upon termination, the licences granted to you under these Terms will end, but any provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will continue to apply.
You may stop using the Site at any time. If you have a newsletter subscription, you may cancel it using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, Australia, and courts entitled to hear appeals from them, in respect of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Site.
If you access the Site from outside Australia, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws.
17. General
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms referenced here, constitute the entire agreement between you and Curvyme Magazine regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.
