10% For Free Access to Law

Terms and Conditions

Casenoter Pty Ltd (ABN [insert ABN]) ("Casenoter", "we", "us", "our") has made a voluntary commitment to contribute 10% of gross revenue from subscription fees to support the Free Access to Law Movement. These terms set out how that commitment operates.

1. The Commitment

1.1 Casenoter commits to allocating an amount equivalent to 10% of gross revenue received from Casenoter subscription fees (the "Contribution") to support Legal Information Institutes and the Free Access to Law Movement.

1.2 "Gross revenue" means subscription fees actually received by Casenoter, excluding refunds, chargebacks, payment processing fees, and applicable taxes (including GST).

1.3 This commitment is voluntary and does not create any contractual obligation to subscribers, users, or third parties.

2. How Contributions May Be Applied

2.1 Casenoter may apply the Contribution in any combination of the following ways:

(a) Direct financial contributions to Legal Information Institutes, universities, or other organisations that support free access to legal information;

(b) Provision of services, technical assistance, software development, training, or other support using Casenoter's own skills, personnel, and resources;

(d) Any other means that Casenoter determines, in its sole discretion, to support the Free Access to Law Movement.

2.2 Where Casenoter provides services or in-kind support rather than direct financial contributions, the value of such services will be calculated at Casenoter's standard commercial rates or, where no standard rate exists, at a reasonable market rate.

3. Casenoter's Discretion

3.1 Casenoter has sole and absolute discretion over:

(a) Which organisations, projects, or initiatives receive support;

(b) The timing and frequency of contributions;

(d) The allocation of contributions between different recipients;

(e) All other matters relating to the administration of this commitment.

3.2 Casenoter is not required to consult with subscribers, users, or any third party in exercising its discretion under these terms.

4. Audit and Accountability

4.1 The Contribution will be subject to annual audit by Mann Judd Chartered Accountants (or such other independent auditor as Casenoter may appoint from time to time).

4.2 The audit will verify:

(a) The calculation of gross revenue from subscription fees;

(b) The total value of contributions made (including both direct financial contributions and the value of in-kind services);

4.3 Casenoter may publish a summary of contributions made under this commitment, but is not obliged to do so.

5. No Third-Party Rights

5.1 This commitment is a voluntary undertaking by Casenoter. It does not create any legally enforceable rights for:

(a) Casenoter subscribers or users;

(b) Legal Information Institutes or other potential recipients;

5.2 Subscribers pay for access to the Casenoter service. The Contribution is a separate voluntary commitment by Casenoter and does not form part of the subscription agreement.

6. Amendment and Termination

6.1 Casenoter may amend these terms at any time by publishing updated terms on the Casenoter website.

6.2 Casenoter may discontinue this commitment at any time, in its sole discretion, by removing reference to it from the Casenoter website.

6.3 Amendment or termination of this commitment does not affect subscriptions or give rise to any right of refund.

7. Governing Law

7.1 These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
