Terms of engagement

These terms govern work between Web Work Base (“we”, “us”) and the organisation that commissions a reading, sitting, or wording engagement (“you”). By sending a vacancy pack, paying a deposit, or otherwise instructing us, you accept these terms.

The work

We provide professional reading and related advisory services described on this site. We do not provide legal advice, industrial advocacy, recruitment placement, or software. Deliverables are briefing notes, scored sheets, wording drafts, and facilitated sittings as quoted.

Acceptance

A quote is an invitation to instruct, not a standing offer to the world. An engagement begins when we confirm acceptance in writing and, where a deposit is required, when that deposit clears.

Your materials

You warrant that you are entitled to send us the applications and position documents, and that doing so does not breach your privacy notices to applicants. You remain the controller of applicant information. We act as a processor of those files only for the engagement.

Intellectual property

Your templates, advertisements, and applicant files remain yours. Our scoring commentary, briefing structure, and method notes remain our intellectual property. You receive a licence to use the briefing inside your organisation for the vacancy named in the engagement. You may not resell the briefing or present it as your own original scoring product.

Confidentiality

We keep application packs and panel discussions confidential, except where disclosure is required by law or you instruct us in writing to share a document with a named third party.

Liability

To the extent permitted by Australian Consumer Law, our liability for any claim arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement. We do not appoint candidates and we are not responsible for employment decisions you make after receiving a briefing. We do not warrant that a shortlist will be free from later challenge; we warrant that scores follow the criteria you froze.

Consumer guarantees

If the Australian Consumer Law applies, those guarantees cannot be excluded. Where a failure is not major, we may re-supply the services or pay the cost of re-supply.

Fees and payment

Fees are as quoted. Invoices are payable within fourteen days unless the engagement letter states otherwise. We may pause unfinished work if an invoice is overdue.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Australia, Australia. Courts of South Australia have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any non-excludable rights you hold.

Changes

We may update these terms for future engagements. The version in force is the one linked from the engagement letter.
