1. The complainant must tell the respondent in writing, the nature of the dispute, what outcome the complainant wants and what action the complainant thinks will settle the dispute. The User and Ask MUMM agree to meet in good faith to seek to resolve the dispute by agreement between them (Initial Meeting).
2. If a resolution cannot be agreed upon at the Initial Meeting, either the User or Ask MUMM may refer the matter to a mediator. If the User and Ask MUMM cannot agree on who the mediator should be, the complainant will ask the Law Society of New South Wales to appoint a mediator. The mediator will decide the time and place for mediation. Each party to the dispute must attend the mediation in good faith, to seek to resolve the dispute.
Any attempts made by a party to resolve a dispute pursuant to this clause are without prejudice to other rights or entitlements of either party under these Terms, by law or in equity.

8. Cancellation of Registration

If a User wishes to cancel its registration, it will need to do so in writing by contacting us at the email address at the bottom of these Terms. Users can also deactivate their Account at any time via the App.

9. Consumer Guarantees

Certain legislation including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), and similar consumer protection laws and regulations may confer the User with rights, warranties, guarantees and remedies relating to the provision of Services by Ask MUMM to the User which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified (Statutory Rights).
If the User is a consumer as defined in the ACL, the following notice applies to the User from Ask MUMM: “Ask MUMM guarantees that the Services supplied to the User are rendered with due care and skill; fit for the purpose that Ask MUMM advertises, or that the User has told Ask MUMM he, she or it is acquiring the Services for or for a result which the User has told Ask MUMM he, she or it wishes the Services to achieve, unless Ask MUMM considers and discloses that this purpose is not achievable; and will be supplied within a reasonable time. To the extent Ask MUMM is unable to exclude liability; Ask MUMM’s total liability for loss or damage suffered or incurred by the User from the Services is limited to Ask MUMM re-supplying the Services to the User, or, at Ask MUMM’s option, Ask MUMM refunding to the User the amount he, she or it has paid Ask MUMM for the Services to which his, her or its claim relates.”

For the avoidance of doubt, Ask MUMM is not responsible for any duties, fees, taxation, visa or immigration matters associated under these Terms. Ask MUMM advises that all Users using the App and Services should seek advice in relation to these matters.
Each User who uses the App and the Services does so at their own risk.

1. Ask MUMM expressly disclaims any implied or express guarantees, warranties, representations or conditions of any kind, which are not stated in these Terms;

Ask MUMM does not warrant that the the App, the Services, content on the Site or App (including pictures, videos, sound clips, links etc.), or the User’s access to the App or the Services will be error free, that any defects will be corrected or that the App or the server which stores and transmits material to the User is free of viruses or any other harmful components;
3. Ask MUMM takes no responsibility for, and will not be liable for, the App, the Services, the Users being unavailable or failing to meet the User’s needs; and

To the extent permitted by law, Ask MUMM’s total liability arising out of or in connection with the App, the Services or the Terms, however arising, including under contract, tort, negligence, in equity, under statute or otherwise, is limited to Ask MUMM re-supplying the Services to the User. Ask MUMM’s total liability to the User for all damages in connection with the Services will not exceed the price paid by the User under these Terms for the 12 months period prior to the act which gave rise to the liability, or one hundred dollars (AUD$100) if no such payments have been made.
The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Ask MUMM and the User. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to the User.

Ask MUMM reserves the right to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by the User, in which event the User will cooperate in asserting any available defences.
This defence and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms and the User’s use of the App or Services. These Terms, and any rights and licences granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by the User, but may be assigned by Ask MUMM without restriction.
