Welcome to the Get Lost Website Terms and Conditions!

(Last updated May 2022)

The Get Lost website (the “Site”) is operated by Mount Alexander Shire Council (“we,” “us” or “our”) with the purpose of directing and mapping local arts businesses and helping our artist network to connect with each other and the Mount Alexander Shire Council communities. We’ve prepared these terms and conditions (Terms) to apply to users  (“you” or “your”) of the Site. Having Terms like these is a way of making sure that we are all on the same page about your and our rights and responsibilities on the Site.

What do you agree to by accessing the Site?

By accessing the Site, you agree to have read, understood, and to be bound by these Terms. We can make changes to these Terms at any time and for any reason. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date of these Terms. You will periodically review these Terms to stay informed of updates.

If you are a minor (generally under the age of 18) you must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, your parent or guardian to use the Site and have your parent or guardian read and agree to these Terms prior to you using the Site.

What about Intellectual Property?

The Site and everything on it, other than your User Generated Content and Contributions is ours. This includes all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, and graphics on the Site (collectively, the “Content”) and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the “Marks”) are owned or controlled by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws of Australia, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions.

The Content and the Marks are provided on the Site “as is” for your information and personal use only. No part of the Site and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without our express prior written permission.

We give you a non-exclusive, limited licence to use the Site and to download, link to or print a copy of any portion of the Content you have contributed as it appears on the Site solely for your personal, non-commercial use, for example, linking to the Site through your own website or artist CV to promote your artist listing or profile on the Site.

What do you represent by using the Site?

We want everyone using the Site legitimately to be safe and for your information to be as reliable and current as possible. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that:

(1) all profile information you submit will be true, accurate, current, and complete; you will maintain the accuracy of such information and promptly update such profile information as necessary;

(2) you will not use the Site for any illegal or unauthorized purpose including for example to infringe someone else’s copyright or misuse cultural material;

(3) you will not access the Site through automated or non-human means; systematically copy, delete or reverse engineer any of the Site, its data or content from the Site; make any unauthorized use of the Site, including collecting usernames and/or email addresses of users; circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Site; trick, defraud, or mislead us and other users, especially in any attempt to learn sensitive account information such as user passwords; use any information obtained from the Site in order to harass, abuse, or harm another person; use the Site as part of any effort to compete with us or generate revenue; attempt to bypass any measures of the Site designed to prevent or restrict access to the Site, or any portion of the Site; harass, annoy, intimidate, or threaten any of our employees or agents engaged in providing any portion of the Site to you; use the Site in a manner inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations.

If you don’t comply with the representations above, we have the right to suspend or terminate your profile and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site (or any portion thereof).

User registration

In order to build a profile on Get Lost, you are required to register with the Site. You agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change a username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property

We respect Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (“ICIP”) meaning Indigenous people’s rights to their culture, heritage and knowledge including the intangible and tangible aspects of cultural practices, resources and knowledge systems that have been, and continue to be, developed, nurtured and refined by Indigenous people as part of expressing their cultural identity. This includes all applicable cultural rights in favour of Australian Indigenous people that may be implemented under Australian law.

We recognise that Indigenous communities are the custodians of their ICIP and have an interest in protecting their ICIP from exploitation contrary to their customary laws. By using this Site, you agree not to infringe, denigrate or otherwise culturally harm the ICIP of Indigenous peoples or communities.

Your contributions or user generated content

The Site may provide you with the opportunity to create, submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish, distribute, or broadcast content and materials to us or on the Site, including but not limited to text, writings, video, audio, photographs, graphics, comments, suggestions, or personal information or other material (collectively, “Contributions”).

Contributions may be viewable by other users of the Site and through third-party websites so any Contributions you transmit are not confidential. When you create or make available any Contributions, you represent and warrant that:

Any breach of these above Terms may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Site.

Contribution licence (your permissions to us to use your contributions)

You retain full ownership of all of your Contributions and any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights associated with your Contributions. We are not liable for any statements or representations in your Contributions provided by you in any area on the Site.

You are solely responsible for your Contributions to the Site and you expressly agree to exonerate us from any and all responsibility and to refrain from any legal action against us regarding your Contributions.

We have the right to edit, redact, or otherwise change any Contributions (as long as we don’t change your artwork or copyright material); re-categorise any Contributions to place them in more appropriate locations on the Site; and to pre-screen or delete any Contributions at any time and for any reason, without notice. We have no obligation to monitor your Contributions.

By posting your Contributions to any part of the Site [or making Contributions accessible to the Site by linking your account from the Site to any of your social networking accounts, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to us an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide right, and licence to host, use, disclose, publish, broadcast, retitle, archive, store, cache, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, transmit, excerpt (in whole or in part), and distribute such Contributions (including, without limitation, your image and voice) for non-commercial reasons.

This license will apply to any form, media, or technology now known or hereafter developed, and includes our use of your name, company name, and franchise name, as applicable, and any of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and personal and commercial images you provide. Where you have moral rights in your Contributions, you retain those rights and we have your consent to make the changes described above.

Social media (for example, Facebook and Instagram)

As part of the functionality of the Site, you may link your profile with online accounts you have with third-party service providers (each such account, a “Third-Party Account”) by either: (1) providing your Third-Party Account login information through the Site; or (2) allowing us to access your Third-Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable Terms that govern your use of each Third-Party Account.

You represent and warrant that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to us and/or grant us access to your Third-Party Account, without breach by you of any of the Terms that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account, and without obligating us to pay any fees or making us subject to any usage limitations imposed by the third-party service provider of the Third-Party Account.

By granting us access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that (1) we may access, make available, and store (if applicable) any content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (the “Social Network Content”) so that it is available on and through the Site via your account, including without limitation any friend lists and (2) we may submit to and receive from your Third-Party Account additional information to the extent you are notified when you link your profile with the Third-Party Account.

Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your profile on the Site.

Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or our access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then Social Network Content may no longer be available on and through the Site. You will have the ability to disable the connection between your profile on the Site and your Third-Party Accounts at any time.

Please note that your relationship with the third-party service providers associated with your third-party accounts is governed solely by your agreement(s) with such third-party service providers.
