1. Acceptance

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Website Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website.

These terms cover browsing, enquiries and general site use. Purchases of reports or dashboard access are governed by our Product Licence and Terms of Sale, which you accept at checkout.

2. Website information

This website provides information about Political Brand Institute and our social research on political brands. Content is general information only. It is not political, legal, financial, investment, employment, medical or other professional advice, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for independent advice.

We may change, suspend or remove website content at any time.

3. Permitted use

You may use this website for lawful personal or internal-business purposes only. You must not:

  • interfere with, disrupt or compromise the website or its security;
  • use bots, scrapers or similar automated tools to extract website content without our prior written permission;
  • copy, reproduce, republish, sell, distribute or commercially exploit website content, except as permitted by law or with our written permission;
  • use the website to send unlawful, harmful, defamatory, misleading or infringing material; or
  • misrepresent your relationship with us or our research.

4. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, we own or licence all intellectual-property rights in the website and its content, including branding, text, graphics, methodology descriptions, data visualisations and research materials.

You may view and print website content for personal or internal-business reference. This does not transfer ownership or grant any commercial-use right. Product purchasers receive only the rights stated in the Product Licence and Terms of Sale.

5. Enquiries

If you contact us through the website, you confirm the information you provide is accurate and that you have the right to provide it. Do not send confidential or commercially sensitive information through a general enquiry form unless we agree otherwise in writing. We use enquiry information to respond to you and otherwise as described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-party services and links

The website may link to third-party sites or use third-party services. We do not control or endorse them and are not responsible for their availability, content, privacy practices or security. Their own terms and policies apply to your use of them.

7. Purchases and payment

All prices are quoted in US dollars and are exclusive of any applicable local sales tax, VAT or GST. You may pay by card or choose an invoice option shown at checkout. Stripe invoices are due within 30 days. For a business invoice request, payment terms are subject to review and, if approved, the terms stated on the invoice. A request is not an invoice until our staff issues it. Product access is activated after payment is confirmed unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing. Fees are otherwise payable in advance.

8. Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", AND WE EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS WEBSITE OR RELIANCE ON ITS CONTENT.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights under the Australian Consumer Law or the consumer protection laws of the place where you live. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain liability, so some of the exclusions above may not apply to you.

9. Privacy

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy at politicalbrandinstitute.com/privacy.
