Welcome to LifeScribe! We provide a platform that allows users to record and preserve their life stories through various features, including answering questions about different life chapters and upload and store images and recordings on the Platform (Services), as set out in more detail on our website (Site).
In these Terms, when we say you or your, we mean you as an individual if you are accepting these Terms for yourself. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an entity (such as your employer) and you are authorised to do so, then you or your means that entity. When we say we, us, or our, we mean LifeScribe Pty Ltd (ACN 684 059 112).
These terms and conditions (Terms) form our contract with you, and set out our obligations as a service provider and your obligations as a customer. You cannot use the Services unless you agree to these Terms.
Some capitalised words in these Terms have defined meanings, and each time that word is used in these Terms it has the same meaning. You can find a list of the defined words and their meaning at the end of these Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully before you accept. We draw your attention to:
We may receive a benefit (which may include a referral fee or a commission) should you visit certain third party websites through a link in the Services, or for featuring certain goods or services on the Services.

1.5 If we provide you with access to any new or beta services, you acknowledge that because of the developmental nature of such services, you use them at your own risk and we have no obligation to maintain or provide error corrections. Any new or beta services we provide you with access to are for evaluation purposes only and not for production use, and we may discontinue those services at any time at our sole discretion.
1.6 Where you engage third parties to operate alongside the Services (for example, any third-party software systems you wish to integrate with the Services), those third parties are independent of us and you are responsible for (meaning we will not be liable for) the goods or services they provide, unless we expressly agree otherwise.
1.7 We may amend these Terms at any time, by providing written notice to you. By clicking “I accept” or continuing to use the Services after the notice or 30 days after notification (whichever date is earlier), you agree to the amended Terms. If you do not agree to the amendment, you should cease using the Services. If you have paid upfront for recurring access to any of the Services (excluding one-time purchases) and you would like to cancel them, please contact us in writing within 30 days of receiving notice to cancel that recurring access and we will issue you a pro-rata refund for such Services.
