Website terms of use

Admiral Rewards is operated by Admiral Racing Pty Ltd, the parent company of Admiral Rewards. By using this site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site — that is the whole of the bargain, and it costs you nothing to walk away.

We may change these terms. The version in force is the one published here, dated at the top. Changes are not retrospective: they do not alter anything that already happened between us.

It is a description of a membership we are building and a form for registering interest in it. It is not an offer to sell anything, and nothing on it is capable of being accepted so as to form a contract. No membership exists, no price is being charged, and registering creates no entitlement of any kind.

Where the site describes clubs, prices, discounts, included meetings or draw prizes, it describes an intention. Those things depend on agreements with clubs that are not all signed and, in the case of the draws, on a permit that has not been issued. Pages that carry figures say on their face where the figure is illustrative. Please read those statements — they are there because they are true, not as decoration.

Nothing here is financial advice, and the membership is not a financial product. Admiral Syndications, a separate company in the same group, sells thoroughbred ownership as a regulated financial product under its own arrangements. Do not read anything on this site as being about that.

We take care to be accurate and to say plainly when something is unsettled. But this is a site about a business being built, and details will change. Information here may be incomplete or out of date by the time you read it, and we do not warrant that it is not.

Nothing in this clause lets us mislead you. If we say something on this site that turns out to be false, a disclaimer does not cure it — under the Australian Consumer Law it cannot, and we do not intend to try.

The Admiral Rewards name, the admiral mark and logo, the page designs, the text, and the underlying code belong to Admiral Racing Pty Ltd or to the people who licensed them to us. Nothing on the site transfers any of that to you.

You may, without asking:

• read the site, and print or save pages of it for your own use;
• link to it, from anywhere, as long as the link does not suggest we endorse or are connected with something we are not;
• quote short passages, with attribution — including if you are writing about us critically.

You may not, without our written permission:

• use the Admiral Rewards name or mark on your own materials, or in a way that suggests a partnership, sponsorship or membership that does not exist;
• republish substantial parts of the site, or frame it inside another site;
• extract the club list, or any other structured content, by scraping or in bulk for a commercial purpose.

Club names, colours and marks belong to those clubs. They appear here to identify the clubs, not because we own them, and their appearance does not imply a partnership unless a page says one is in place.

• Submit anything false, or register someone else’s email address as if it were yours. Beyond being a nuisance, it puts an address on a mailing list without its owner’s consent, which is our problem and their problem rather than a joke.
• Submit anything unlawful, defamatory, abusive or infringing through the free-text fields.
• Attempt to gain access to any part of the site, its database or its accounts that is not open to you.
• Interfere with the site’s operation: flooding the forms, denial of service, probing for vulnerabilities without our agreement, or introducing malicious code.
• Use an automated process to harvest content or email addresses from the site.

If you think you have found a security flaw, tell us instead of exploiting it. We will not pursue anyone who reports a genuine vulnerability to us privately, gives us a reasonable chance to fix it, and does not access or alter other people’s information in the course of finding it.

Anything you send us through a form — a note in the free-text box, a suggestion, an enquiry — you allow us to use in running and improving the business. We do not claim to own your words, and we will not publish them attributed to you without asking.

We do not promise the site will be available, uninterrupted or error-free. It may be down for maintenance, or because something broke. We may change it, or take it down altogether, without notice — and during this pre-launch period parts of it are deliberately hidden.

Where we link to a club, a merchant, a regulator or a support service, we do not control those sites and are not responsible for what is on them. A link is a pointer, not an endorsement.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law. Those rights cannot be contracted out of, and we are not attempting it.

Subject to that: the site is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of it, or for loss caused by relying on information that a page told you was illustrative or unsettled. Where our liability can be limited but not excluded, it is limited to supplying the information again or paying the cost of doing so.

We do not limit our liability for fraud, for misleading or deceptive conduct, or for anything else the law does not permit us to limit.

What we do with information you give us is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms. It names the collecting entity, lists every field the form takes, names the suppliers who hold it, and tells you how to get it back or have it deleted.

This site is about attending race meetings. It does not offer, promote or facilitate betting, and we do not pass your details to wagering operators.

If gambling is causing you or someone close to you harm, Gambler’s Help is available on 1800 858 858, and at gamblinghelponline.org.au.

These terms are governed by the law of Victoria, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and the courts that hear appeals from them. Non-exclusive means you keep whatever right you otherwise have to bring a matter somewhere else — including in the state you live in.

If any part of these terms is unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest continues to apply.
