By accessing or using the QMS Asset Integrity website at qmsndt.com.au (the "Site") you agree to be bound by these terms of use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. Information is general only

The content of the Site - including descriptions of services, accreditation scope, capability statements, project examples and contact information - is provided for general information only.

Submit content through the contact form that is misleading, abusive, defamatory, infringes intellectual property rights, or contains malicious code.

6. Third-party links

7. No warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site is provided on an "as-is" basis without any warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of fitness for purpose, merchantability, accuracy, availability or non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, QMS will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages (including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity) arising from or connected with your access to or use of the Site, even if QMS has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Where statutory consumer guarantees cannot be excluded, QMS's liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Australian Consumer Law.
