Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the BDN Management Consultant website, publications, download areas, and enquiry forms. By browsing, downloading, or submitting information through the site, you confirm that you have read and accept these terms. If you are acting on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.

Separate written engagement letters, proposals, and client agreements apply when you retain BDN for advisory work. Where those documents conflict with this website terms page, the engagement documents prevail.

2. About this website

This site describes the consulting services offered by BDN Management Consultant Pty Ltd, including corporate strategy, finance and tax advisory, human resources, and business planning. Content is directed at business audiences in Australia, particularly boards, executives, and professional advisers evaluating whether to contact our Brighton office.

We may update pages, case summaries, and publications without notice. Material dated on a page reflects the position at that time and may not reflect current law or market conditions.

3. No professional advice

Information on this website is general in nature. It is not legal, tax, accounting, financial product, or personal advice. Case studies and metrics are illustrative; outcomes depend on client circumstances. You should not act solely on website content without obtaining advice tailored to your situation from qualified professionals.

Nothing on this site creates a client relationship with BDN. A client relationship begins only when both parties agree in writing to an engagement scope and fee arrangement.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to use the site lawfully and not to:

• attempt unauthorised access to our systems, forms, or client areas;
• introduce malware, automated scraping at scale, or denial-of-service traffic;
• misrepresent your identity or affiliation when submitting enquiries;
• copy, frame, or mirror substantial portions of the site for commercial redistribution;
• use contact forms to send unsolicited marketing or abusive content.

We may suspend access or report conduct that we reasonably believe violates these terms or applicable law.

5. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, all text, graphics, logos, frameworks, tables, and downloadable materials on this site are owned or licensed by BDN Management Consultant Pty Ltd. You may view and print pages for your internal business evaluation. You may not reproduce, adapt, publish, or distribute our materials—including whitepapers, handbooks, and case summaries—without prior written consent.

Third-party trademarks or images remain the property of their respective owners. References to clients or industries in case studies do not imply ongoing endorsement unless explicitly stated.

6. Enquiries and submissions

When you submit an enquiry form, you warrant that the information provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge. Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee that BDN will accept an engagement. We may use your submission to assess fit, scope preliminary questions, and respond within our stated business-day timeframe.

Do not send confidential or privileged information through website forms unless we have agreed a secure channel. Email over the internet is not fully secure; sensitive documents should be exchanged only after a named partner confirms the appropriate method.

7. Third-party links

The site may link to external resources such as regulators, publications, or mapping services. Those sites are not controlled by BDN. We are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability. Following a third-party link is at your own risk.

8. Availability and accuracy

We aim to keep the site available and accurate but do not guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free content. Maintenance, hosting issues, or updates may temporarily affect availability. We may correct typographical errors or outdated references without obligation to notify prior visitors.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by the Australian Consumer Law and other applicable legislation, BDN Management Consultant Pty Ltd and its directors, partners, and employees exclude liability for loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, website content—including indirect, consequential, or economic loss—except where liability cannot be excluded by law.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our liability is limited, at our option, to resupplying the relevant information or the cost of resupplying it.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and any courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts.

11. Changes and contact

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version on this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. For questions about these terms, contact our Brighton office at info@bdnmanagementconsultant.com.au or visit the contact page.
