1. About this site

Bundaberg Tradies (bundabergtradies.com.au) is an independent online directory of trade businesses operating in and around Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia.

We are not a franchise, employment agency, lead-generation service or booking platform. We do not employ tradies, arrange work, handle payments, or act as an agent for any listed business. By using this site, you agree to these Terms of Use.

2. Who these terms apply to

These terms apply to:

• Visitors — anyone browsing the directory to find a tradie
• Businesses — tradies and trade businesses listed in or submitted to the directory
• Anyone contacting us — via the contact form or by email

If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this website.

3. Accuracy of listing information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure listing information is accurate at the time of publication. However, we cannot guarantee that details are current or complete. Business details change — trading hours, contact information, licensing status and service areas can all change without notice.

Insurance coverage should be confirmed directly with the business before commencing any work.

4. No endorsement

A listing on Bundaberg Tradies is not an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee of quality, or approval of any kind. We do not vet, test or inspect the work of any listed business.

We are not responsible for any work carried out by a listed tradie, any dispute between you and a listed business, or any loss or damage arising from engaging a business found through this directory.

5. Submitting a business listing

By submitting a listing to Bundaberg Tradies, you confirm that:

• The information you provide is accurate, current and not misleading
• You are the business owner or are authorised to submit the listing on their behalf
• The listing does not contain false, defamatory, offensive or unlawful content
• You hold any licences, registrations or insurances required to operate in Queensland
• You will notify us if your details change materially (phone, address, trading status)

We reserve the right to edit, suspend or remove any listing at our discretion, including listings that breach these terms, contain inaccurate information, or are reported as misleading.

6. User conduct

When using this site, you agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading or defamatory information about any business
• Use the site to scrape, harvest or collect contact details for commercial purposes
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its systems
• Upload or transmit any malicious code, virus or harmful content
• Use automated tools (bots, crawlers) to access the site without our prior written permission
• Use the site in any way that breaches Australian law, including the Australian Consumer Law, Spam Act 2003, or Privacy Act 1988

7. Intellectual property

All content on this site — including text, layout, design, graphics, logos and the “Bundaberg Tradies” name — is owned by or licensed to Bundaberg Tradies, unless otherwise stated.

You may not reproduce, republish, modify or distribute any content from this site without our prior written permission. Personal use (viewing, printing for your own reference) is permitted.

Business names, logos and contact details submitted as part of a listing remain the property of the respective business owner.

8. Third-party links

This directory links to external business websites and third-party services (such as the QBCC register and ABN Lookup). These links are provided for your convenience only. We do not control, endorse or take responsibility for any content, privacy practices or services on those external sites.

9. Defamation

Bundaberg Tradies takes defamation seriously. We will not knowingly publish content that is false and damaging to the reputation of any person or business. If you believe a listing or review on this site is defamatory, contact us immediately via the Contact page and we will investigate and take appropriate action promptly.

Users who submit false or defamatory content may be liable under Queensland and Australian defamation law.

10. Spam Act compliance

We comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). We will not send unsolicited commercial electronic messages. Any marketing or promotional communications we send will only go to people who have explicitly consented to receive them and will include a clear, functional unsubscribe mechanism.

Contact details listed in the directory are published for the purpose of locals contacting local tradies — not for bulk commercial messaging or data harvesting.

11. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any rights or guarantees you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010). To the extent that any provision of these terms is inconsistent with the Australian Consumer Law, the Australian Consumer Law prevails.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, Bundaberg Tradies is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage arising from:

• Your use of or reliance on any information published in this directory
• Engaging any business found through this site
• Any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in listing information
• Temporary unavailability or technical errors on the site

Where liability cannot be excluded under Australian law (including under the Australian Consumer Law), our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

13. Privacy

Your use of this site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms of Use. By using this site, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of Queensland and the Commonwealth of Australia. Any disputes arising from these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland, Australia.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top will always reflect the current version. Continued use of the site after we post an update means you accept the revised terms.
