Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at opsforestry.com.au and any related pages, tools, or content (the "Website"). The Website is operated by OFFSHORE PROCUREMENT SPECIALISTS NO 2 PTY LTD ABN 30 627 188 603, trading as OPS Forestry ("OPS Forestry", "we", "us", or "our").

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Website.

1. About OPS Forestry

OPS Forestry is a timber procurement specialist. We work with landowners, forest owners, harvesters, sawmills, packing and fumigation contractors, and specialist suppliers to source and supply hardwood logs, sawn timber, and related products to customers in Australia and internationally.

The Website is an informational and marketing platform. It exists to describe our services, present timber species information, publish supply opportunities, and let you get in touch with us. It is not an online store, and no purchase, sale, or supply of timber is completed through the Website.

2. Acceptance and changes to these Terms

By using the Website you confirm that you accept these Terms and that you have the authority to do so, including on behalf of any organisation you represent.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be available on the Website, and the "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent change. Your continued use of the Website after any change means you accept the updated Terms.

3. Timber species information and specifications

The Website includes a timber species selector and database containing information such as region of origin, colour, density, hardness (Janka), durability ratings, termite resistance, and shrinkage figures.

This information is provided as a general guide only. Timber is a natural product, and its characteristics vary between and within species, regions, individual logs, and growing conditions. The figures shown are indicative and should not be relied on as exact, guaranteed, or fit for any particular purpose.

Any timber supplied by OPS Forestry is supplied against the specifications agreed in a separate written supply agreement or contract, not against the information published on the Website. If you need precise specifications for a specific application, please contact us directly and confirm them in writing before relying on them.

4. No offer, quote, or contract

Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer, quotation, or commitment to supply or purchase timber or any other product or service. Descriptions of species, supply opportunities, volumes, and availability are provided for information only and may change or become unavailable without notice.

Any supply, purchase, or commercial arrangement between you and OPS Forestry is subject to a separate written agreement setting out the applicable terms, including price, quantity, specifications, delivery, legality, and compliance obligations. Those terms will govern the commercial relationship and take precedence over anything on the Website.

5. Intellectual property

All content on the Website, including text, images, video, graphics, logos, the OPS Forestry name and branding, the timber species database, and the arrangement and design of the Website, is owned by or licensed to OPS Forestry and is protected by Australian and international intellectual property laws.

You may view and access the Website, and download or print individual pages, for your own internal reference and to evaluate our services. You must not:

• copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, or commercially exploit any part of the Website or its content without our prior written consent;
• extract, scrape, or systematically harvest data from the timber species database or any other part of the Website; or
• use our trade marks, logos, or branding without our prior written consent.

6. Acceptable use

When using the Website, you agree that you will not:

• use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its servers, or any connected systems;
• introduce viruses, malware, or any other harmful code;
• interfere with or disrupt the operation, security, or availability of the Website; or
• use any automated system, bot, or process to access, monitor, or copy the Website except for legitimate search engine indexing.

We may suspend or restrict your access to the Website if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.

7. Enquiries and information you provide

Where you submit an enquiry or contact us through the Website, you agree that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorised to provide it. We will handle any personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy (see Section 8).

Submitting an enquiry does not create any obligation on OPS Forestry to respond, engage, or supply. Any commercial relationship arises only under a separate written agreement.

8. Privacy

Our handling of personal information is set out in our Privacy Policy, available at [PRIVACY POLICY URL]. By using the Website you acknowledge that we may collect and use your information as described in that policy and in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

9. Third-party links and content

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, systems, or resources, including references to timber legality and certification schemes operated by governments or other organisations. These are provided for convenience and information only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any third-party site or resource, and a link does not imply our endorsement of it.

10. Availability of the Website

We aim to keep the Website available and up to date, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any information on it is complete or current. We may change, suspend, or withdraw all or part of the Website at any time without notice.

11. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where a guarantee or right cannot be excluded but our liability can be limited, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OPS Forestry and its directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any loss or damage (including indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, or loss arising from reliance on Website content) arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Website.

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.
