Terms of use
Eighteen numbered entries, each carrying the version its wording took effect at. The same format as the release files this company builds, for the same reason: a document a second person can read is a document a second person can disagree with.

1v1.0 — How this record is kept
Current · governs the whole document
Each entry states one term. Each carries the version at which its wording started operating. Every entry here reads v1.0 because this is the first published release of the document, and an entry that is later amended moves to a higher number rather than being edited quietly in place.
Entry 17 sets out how an amendment happens and what it does to an agreement already on foot. Nothing in this document takes effect by being changed while you are not looking.
2v1.0 — Parties, and acceptance
Current · applies on every visit
The publisher is SCRIPTSHIFT TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD, ACN 698 500 542, ABN 21 698 500 542, an Australian proprietary company in Western Australia. Below, that company is we. The person reading is you.
Using this site accepts these entries as they stand at the moment of the visit. Nothing is clicked and no box is ticked, because a site that publishes documentation does not need a ceremony to hand it over. If an entry here does not suit you, the remedy is to stop reading the site rather than to negotiate with it.
3v1.0 — What these terms reach
Current · scope
4v1.0 — Consumer guarantees
Current · Australian Consumer Law, Schedule 2
This entry sits above every other entry in the document, and where another entry appears to cut across it, this one wins.
The Australian Consumer Law, being Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), gives consumers guarantees that a supplier cannot contract out of. Where those guarantees apply to something supplied by this company, they apply in full. Nothing written anywhere on this page excludes, restricts or modifies them, and any words that would have that effect do not operate to that extent.
Those guarantees include that goods are of acceptable quality, that services are rendered with due care and skill, and that what is supplied is reasonably fit for any purpose made known to the supplier. Where a failure is major, the Australian Consumer Law gives the consumer the choice of remedy. Where it is not major, the supplier may choose among the remedies the statute allows.
Everything in entry 13 operates only to the extent the Australian Consumer Law permits a limitation, and no further.
5v1.0 — Permitted use of the site
Current · applies to scriptshift.cc
Read it, quote it, print it, send it to a colleague, cite it in an argument about how deployments ought to work. None of that needs permission and none of it is going to be objected to.
Four things are not permitted, and the list is short because a longer one would be padding:
- Interfering with the availability of the site for other readers, whether by volume, by probing, or by attempting to reach anything that is not published.
- Reproducing pages under another name so that a reader would take them for somebody else's work, or somebody else's company.
- Automated collection at a rate a person could not produce, where it degrades service for anybody else. A polite crawler that respects robots.txt is welcome.
- Using the site or the mailbox to send anything unlawful, or to impersonate a person or an organisation.
6v1.0 — Accuracy of what is published
Current · applies to the site's content
The pages are written with care and they describe the position as at the effective date on each document. They are a description of how this company works, offered so that you can judge it.
They are not engineering advice for your system, and they are not legal, tax or accounting advice for your business. A working rule that suits a team of four with one production environment can be wrong for a team of forty with six. Where a decision of yours turns on something read here, the sensible step is to write in and ask about the specific case rather than to generalise from a page that was written about somebody else's.
7v1.0 — Descriptions of the tooling
Current · applies to descriptions on this site
The homepage sets out what each part of the release tooling does. Those descriptions are written against the behaviour of the code rather than against an intention for it, and a description that overstates what a part does is treated here as a defect in the same way a broken link is.
A description is a statement about how the tooling behaves, not a warranty of a particular result inside your environment, which this company does not see and cannot test against. Where a description on this site turns out to overstate something, tell us at [email protected] and the correction goes up ahead of any argument about whether it was material.
8v1.0 — The tooling's own terms
Current · applies to the tooling rather than to this site
This document governs the website and nothing else. No page here distributes the tooling or hands over a copy of it, so this document grants no rights over the software itself.
The licence and any commercial terms for the tooling travel with the software — in the repository that carries the code, or in a signed agreement. Those terms govern the software. This page keeps governing the website, and where the two meet, the terms travelling with the software prevail on anything about the software. Reading a description here creates no entitlement to the thing described, and no expectation of a particular price or licence.
9v1.0 — Intellectual property
Current · Copyright Act 1968 (Cth)
Copyright in the text, tables, markup, stylesheet and layout of this site belongs to SCRIPTSHIFT TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD, except where an item is identified as belonging to somebody else. The name Scriptshift and the signal mark are used as trade marks of the company.
10v1.0 — Outbound links
Current · applies to links leaving this site
A handful of links point away from here, to a regulator, a register or a public source. They exist so that a claim on this site can be checked against something that is not this site.
What sits at the other end of a link is written and controlled by whoever runs it, changes without notice to us, and is covered by that party's own terms and privacy position rather than by ours. A link is a pointer, not an endorsement, and following one ends this document's reach.
11v1.0 — Privacy, cross-referenced
Current · cross-reference
How this company handles personal information is set out in the privacy policy, which is kept in the same versioned form as this document and answers to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). What can be written to your device is set out in the cookie notice.
Neither of those documents is restated here. Duplicating them would guarantee that the copies eventually disagree, and a reader would have no way to tell which one was governing.
12v1.0 — Availability of the site
Current · applies to scriptshift.cc
This is a set of static pages behind a content delivery network, which is about as available as a small company can make anything. There is still no uptime commitment attached to it, and none is implied by it having been up whenever you last looked.
Pages can be changed, moved or withdrawn without notice. Where a page carrying legal effect is withdrawn or replaced, entry 17 governs how that is done and what happens to the wording it replaced.
13v1.0 — Liability
Current · subject in full to entry 4
Read entry 4 first. Everything below yields to it.
To the extent the law permits a limitation, this company is not liable for loss that follows from a decision you took on the strength of something published here — lost profit, lost data, lost time, an outage in your own system, or a cost you incurred rearranging how your team deploys. Those consequences sit with the system you control, and the material here is offered as a description rather than as an instruction.
Nothing in this entry limits liability for fraud, for fraudulent misrepresentation, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that Australian law does not allow a party to limit. Where a limitation is permitted but a cap is required to be reasonable, the cap is the amount you have paid this company under the dealing the claim arises from.
Neither party is liable to the other for a failure caused by something genuinely outside its control, and each will say so promptly and keep the other informed rather than going quiet.
14v1.0 — Your conduct
Current · applies to use of the site and the mailbox
If you use this site or the mailbox in a way entry 5 forbids, and that causes this company a loss or a claim from somebody else, the cost of it is yours rather than ours. That is the whole of the indemnity, and it is deliberately confined to conduct entry 5 already names.
Access can be refused where conduct of that kind is under way. A refusal is a technical measure taken to keep the site working for other readers, not a determination about you, and it can be raised at [email protected].
15v1.0 — Governing law and forum
Current · Western Australia
These entries are governed by the law of Western Australia and the Commonwealth law that applies there. The courts of Western Australia have jurisdiction, and each party submits to it non-exclusively so that neither is shut out of a court that would otherwise be available.
Before a filing, write. Most disagreements that reach a lawyer were reachable by email a fortnight earlier and considerably cheaper there. Nothing in this entry stops a consumer using a right or a forum that Australian law gives them regardless of what a contract says, including the complaint routes described in the privacy policy.
16v1.0 — Notices
Current · how each party is reached
17v1.0 — Amending these terms
Current · governs the whole document
- The version number on the amended entry rises, and the effective date in the header moves with it.
- The wording that was replaced is kept, and is sent to anybody who asks for it.
- An amendment operates from its effective date. It does not reach back over a dealing that was already complete.
- Where a separate signed agreement exists, an amendment to this page does not alter it. That agreement changes only the way it says it changes.
Three construction points, kept here rather than spread through the document. If an entry or part of one is unenforceable, it is severed and the rest continues to operate. A right not exercised on one occasion is not given up for the next. These entries, together with the privacy policy and the cookie notice, are the whole of what is agreed about this website, and they replace anything said about it beforehand.
The benefit of these terms may be assigned by this company as part of a transfer of the business, and not otherwise. Nothing here creates a partnership, an agency or an employment relationship between the parties.
