Disclaimer

1. No Verification of Businesses

HireLocalServices does not verify the identity, qualifications, licences, insurance, or any other credentials of businesses listed on our platform. The information displayed in business listings is provided entirely by the business owners themselves.

While we encourage businesses to provide accurate information and may display an ABN where provided, the presence of a listing on HireLocalServices does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or verification of any kind.

2. No Guarantee of Service Quality

We do not guarantee the quality, reliability, timeliness, suitability, or safety of any services provided by businesses listed on our platform. The testimonials displayed on business profiles are submitted by the business owners and may not reflect the experience of all customers.

Any ratings, reviews, or testimonials on the platform are provided for informational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for your decision to engage a service provider.

3. User Due Diligence

Before engaging any service provider found through HireLocalServices, we strongly recommend that you:

• Verify the business's qualifications, licences, and insurance independently.
• Check whether the business holds any required trade licences for your state or territory.
• Request and verify references from previous customers.
• Obtain multiple quotes before committing to a service provider.
• Ensure that any agreement for services is documented in writing.
• Verify the business's ABN through the Australian Business Register.
• Check for any complaints or enforcement actions through relevant consumer protection bodies.

4. Not Responsible for Disputes

HireLocalServices is not a party to any transaction, agreement, or arrangement between you and any service provider found through our platform. We are not responsible for and have no liability in relation to any disputes, claims, damages, losses, or costs arising from your engagement with any service provider.

If you have a dispute with a service provider, we recommend:

• Attempting to resolve the dispute directly with the service provider.
• Contacting your state or territory's fair trading or consumer affairs body for assistance.
• Seeking independent legal advice if necessary.

5. Accuracy of Information

While we endeavour to ensure that the platform functions correctly, we do not warrant that the information provided by businesses on the platform is accurate, complete, or current. Business details such as contact information, service areas, and availability may change without notice.

If you encounter any listing that you believe contains false, misleading, or inappropriate content, you may report it using the report function on the business profile page.
